Yesterday (Sunday) was anniversary
day of the Epworth league and the SER
vices at the University NJ. e. church
were appropriate to the day. The pas
tor, DR.. A. @. Williams, at the morning
service, preached from Ecclesiates 1871,
Remember Thy Creator in the Days of
Thy Youth. It was sermon especially
for young people, as the text indicates.
The speaker said that religious life, be-
gan In youth and continued through
middle life. is the crown and glory OF
old age. Young people should prepare
for life, not for death, for when man
is truly ready to live he is also ready to
die.
Youth ia the receptive period of life,
and is the time when good seed must be
sown to reap the harvest in old age, of
an honorable life. II is religion
to care for our physical bodies
as a ct dwelling place for our souls.
A good mind is also q necessity. Do not
spend too much time in society and in
jocular things Of life; they are good In
their place, but are not supreme. Idle
ness by q strong. healthy young person
is wrong. A person must grow, either
in the good or in the bad. Life is an
increasing thing. The Epworth League
is an agency of God to bring the energy
OF youth to combat the evils and Temp
tations, which are stronger today than
ever before.
The worlds fair Sunday closing ques-
ton was treated upon as one of the great
questions needing our attention. The
| United States should not take back
ward step in the MATTER and destroy the
| American Sabbath, that bulwark of lib
erty. This nation, reared and nurtured
as it was in prayer, should not now turn
away from Its God and force such a ca
lssc;ts an herself as France did when il
