giving members of these eongre ration an opportunity to joto hi this anniversary occasion the special speaker for this oocafion was ilvv prof a b orton of temmanucl oouege toronto his dlsconrses were a careful study of world events or today and their parallel as found in the bible ids discourses were a delight to those who heard him the preacher based his momma dls course which indeed suggested the theme tor both sermons on jot 17 13 a ilorvms high throne u the place of our sanctuary in our time he said there has been call tanonv men for freedom nut this having been largely aooornpllshed we hstve become somewhat ured ttt it and are looking for authority this has been specially wldent in ttalv and oermany and to some extent also in america- there is a manifest desire for discipline even in democracy we see this evidenced wen here in hither taxes snd in a movement toward universal military aexvioe in other words men are seeking a throne in oermany that throne is centred in a race in italy in a state in russia in a class our thi one is in the sanctuary with all wl ich that involves ood alonr has the sovereign right to command our lives and all these other systems much in the public eye at the present are ultimately bound to fall the throne of the text is in thi new testament called a throne of oracc this was illustrated by n itory of an act ot edward the formor prlnc of

factor which is the throne or the christian church the choir s anthem in the morning was tcvonlng and morning by sir her bert oakeley and don kvans rendered a splendid solo come unto me the evening sermon by prof orton followed the theme of the morntngonly thot the thought was of the man at the foot of the throne ourselves rather than of the throne itself the scriptural basis was found in the eighth chapter or sccdhohrcihgh aiytjmt verse and hasael said but what is thy servant a dog just as in the old days so it is in the present when people are at war they think the worst of the enemy until man solves the problem of himself noth ing will tie settled in effcry field of endeavor we find men striving to under stand mankind all the laboratories of the world are seeking diligently to undir stand man and when wt know man wo will be able to de with him as we do with nature nou when wptaiow man wi can reform society in this study of mankind we have the scientists who claim man is nothing but a coup omcmtlnu of chemical processes the view of the ptiyschol wist t that man is a conflict between ourselves nnd our subconscious selves we were saving before thi war thot man won a com munltv or korutv mode man but mans view of mnn results in much of our mis understanding ond a cnultj and brutaut of government tills is true not onlv in i rsmnrtu or any other country ood mode man after bis own imagine touts the thing in man that makes him protest roul play and brutality aod working in our soul makes us do the thing for the right mans approach to the throne is through jesus and
