by Rev. Mir. Dusinberre. and in the
 Meriden house led by Rev. Mir. Dent of Windsor Locks. A young peoples
 meeting was also held In the Plainville house.
 At the evening service the Rev. Mir. Dent of Windsor Locks was the preach CT. His text was. He that Wins Souls
 Is Wise."-Proverbs. xi. 30. He said in part: "He is a wise man who conse-
 crates his life to winning souls for Christ. All classes and conditions of
 people recognize the importance of win ming people. for whatever purpose or
 aim they may have. The underlying principle is understood by all. All
 worldly business Is carried on on this
 basis of winning people. And the soul cannot be won without bringing the body.
 "Then 1t is a wise thing to do. It
 doesn't mean that It Is not wise thing to dedicate your life to other good things, say education. But other things
 should be used as avenues and channels
 to bring the people to Jesus. Wisdom is required to win souls. Skill Is needed. There can be no sub- ject acting without the object acted upon. A man may understand Gods methods and yet not know how to use them. What We want Is skillful men. Gods standard of wisdom Is not the human standard. Among human be- ings the standard Is always shifting and changeable. The, Romans thought 1t was wise to be great soldier or law glver. The Greeks thought 1t was wise to be a philosopher, artist or sculptor. At times in the middle ages the ignorant
 man was considered the wise man; at
 other times the ascetic and the man
 who despised riches were considered the only wise men. When the body of the | murdered Thomas a Beckett was found at the altar covered with vermin the people all said, What a wise and good
 man he was!
 Thus everything human is entirely
 relative and changeable. But Gods
 wisdom Is eternal. Souls must be won and loved to Christ. We are to per
 suade men unto God. Those winning
 souls must have the conviction that
 souls will be lost unless won and that
 souls can be saved. Then the question IS now 10 save tneH. Sympathy will reach men who scorn pity and through it's ministry can be shown the compassion of God"
