PAGE 2. “THERE IS NOTHING IN THE THINGS THAT DIVIDE evangelical Christians that would give moral benefit to a single person, regenerate a lost soul or lift the moral welfare of a community. There are things there, however, that di- vide communities and even run dividing lines of religious in- terest through families. In so far as emphasis upon these non-moral, non-social differences persist, it avails only to slow down moral effort, confuse religious thinking and prevent social co-Operation for the common weal. But there is enough in that which is held in common to redeem men gone wrong, to unite communities in co-operative effort for the common weal and to save the world. Cannot we build upon the solid foundations of yesterday’s experience without projecting the warring lines in battles won across the new frontier?”â€"Alva W. Taylor. -O.‘ O--'--- vcvâ€"â€"â€" palatial mansion and _l;eantit'ul gronnds to a Quaker, said: “The almighty dollar has done it all. What cannot money do!” “Ah, friend,” replied the Quaker. “thou remindest me of how the worship of the golden calf kept the Israelites out of the Promised Land. Maybe thy dollars will do the same for thee !” A YOUNG CHRISTIAN WHOSE BESETTING SIN WAS anger became of a remarkably sweet disposition. “I was told,” he said. “by my pastor, that every outburst of anger pierced the heart of Jesus. So I hung a picture of our Lord in my room, and every time I lost my temper, I put a thorn in that picture. The picture was soon covered with thorns. As I looked. a great love and contrition came over me, that he should suffer because of my sins. Now I say, ‘Not I, but Christ.’ and his sweetness expels my anger.” A minute elapsed, then quietly the minister stepped to the right of the pulpit. and with uplifted face. said in a sub- dued voice: What a blesseduassurance! Full well do some know that those who stand in their strength do not stand, and those who stand in God’s strength never fall. “ ‘I can do all things’â€"-Paul, you are a liar! ‘I can do all thingshâ€"Paul, you are a terrible liar!”â€"-and down went his fist upon the pulpit. THE STORY IS GOING AROUND THAT A METHODIST minister began his Bible reading bofore his peOple on a Sun- day morning in this manner: V “I beg your pardon, Paul. I see it all nowâ€"‘through Christ which strengtheneth me.’ That is quite another thing. Paul. you are quite right! ‘I can do all things through 99’ Christ which strengtheneth me . GREATER NEW YORK IS CALLED “THE GREATEST unevangelized center on earth” by Mr. Hugh R. Munro. The last census (1920) gives a population of eight millions within a radius of fifteen miles of Madison Square. “This populous area is not lacking in ornate cathedrals, stately churches, res- cue missions and Christian philanthropies. Nor is it without a host of preachers. teachers, missionaries and other Chris- tian workers. Yet the great mass of the peOple walk in spir- itual darkness, unevangelized, unshepherded, lost! Foremost among the living factors in this colossal problem is the two millions of Jews, the largest company of Israelites gathered so near together since the exodus.” And these Jews are “from every nation under heaven.” ONE OF THE WIERDEST EFFECTS ASCRIBED TO PRO- hibition is reported from Missouri. The dissection depart- ments of the medical and osteopathic schools of the state used to procure bodies to work on from the state institutions, but since the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment, there have not been enough bodies to go around. Statistics show that during the last year, fewer paupers died in the cities than in any previous year. Last winter, there were fewer unidentified drunks frozen in the alleys back of saloons where they had been kicked after their money ran out, and fewer unidentified bodies in the parks, which the cities would have been called to take care of. ALTHOUGH ONLY ABOUT TWO PER CENT OF THE Lithuanians are Protestants, the Presbyterians have played a great part in the construction of the new state. Three out of the seven ministers in the first cabinet were Presbyterians. The Commander-in-Chief is also a Presbyterian. lALI.EGED) NOTES OF A PREACHER’S TRIAL SERMON SUBJECT: Tm: PRODIGAL SON. Like all good sermons, it was divided into three parts. 1. The Prodigal’s badness. 2.- The Pmdigal’s sadness. 3. The Prodigal’s gladness. But there were three sub-headings: 1. The Prodigal’s caviling. 2. The Prodigal’s traveling. 3. The Prodigal’s reveling. Further, under “Sadness,” there were these heads: 1. He goes to the dogs. 2. He feeds with the hogs. 3. Homeward he jogs. Under his gladness, also three: 1. He receives a seal. 2. He eats of veal. 3. He dances a reel. AMERICAN MILLIONAIRE, AFTER‘SHOWINQ HIS For The Quiet Hour Thou art my Refuge; to Thine arms s I run for succor, sore-distressed; There, safe from all the world’s alarms, Thou givest REST. Thou art my Rock; when billows roll, Thy power can bid my terrors cease; And, ’mid the storm, unto my soul Thou givest LIGHT. Thou art my Star; I scarce can see The wayâ€"so dark and wild the night; Yet when I cry, far off, to Thee Thou givest LIGHT. Thou art my Hope; when tired, undone, I shrink before the road’s dark length, Then to Thy weary wandering one Thou givest STRENGTH. Thou are mine All; sore, worn and sad, I lift my lonely heart above; Then, for the joys that once I had, Thou givest LOVE. m1 1‘1.
