DR.. Boardman, the president, made lew remarks
on the necessity OF humility before God. Tnls is

wholly IN the Divine Will. But some how other

at least, don'L profess 20 be as holy they. The
! Doctor wished his hearers 10 throw away their
spiritual stills If they nad any. To promote hon
ness he insisted that evorythlng. including
selves, must be given over to God. The Doctor,
who mas, with Mrs. Boardman, spent a couple OF
