Spouse to the greetings, most beautiful
~ and with great thoughtfulnsss. She
told the legend OF Christopher, who
sought to serve the mightiest power in
the world, and found it only when he
found Christ, whom, ever after, he did
serve with all his wonderful and power.
full manhood. This, then, was the work

Mr.. Day spoke OF the Pre- eminent
Importance of the Spiritual in Culture
and said:
I'VE are living in material age and
1t is we'll to learn the lessons taught by
it. Human interests must be largely
material and in preparing to meet them
we must develop great capacity end
character. Men and women may carry
into eternity with them something that
the angels have not, something gained
by our living in feshly bodies and OBJ
tanning victory over them. By putting
to the front and keeping foremost always
the thought that the greatest thing in
this world 10 man, the greatest thing
In man is soul and the greatest thing in
the soul 10 God. Every true Christian
organization must set the spiritual over
and above the mental and material,
must recognize the supremacy OF the
law of Christ. How will the Y. w. G.
! A. realize this conception? By holding
fast Gods conception of the human
SOUL"
For closing he said: 1.-THE life of
Christ must be in your heart. To make
the Y. W. O. A. a power you must live
in Christ. Then will the spiritual be
uppermost in your lives"
