Green OF Natick offered prayer, which
was followed by responsive reading of the
Psalms, led by Rev. u. w. Rigler Of East
Providence.
Rev. Mr.. Farnum was then introduced
by the pastor. Substantially he said:
II would speak to you this evening on
theme that is dear to my heart-'Per-
petual Wakefulness in Christian Work.
By perpstusi wakefulness l DO not mean
perpetual restlessness or perpetual sleep
lessness. / mean quick and vivid seeing,
keen perception, alertness, watchfuiness,
and readiness. such nlertness will give las
ability TO be and TO do what God desires
Of us.
"It is this ability to see with the mind g
eve TO sympathize with the heart that
wish to call attention to tonight. / be-
lieve that this is the great lack in the
church OF God. What God wants Is that
we shall be so responsive TO bis heart that
lie oan do with US what he pleases. Then
we shall be vastly more useful than we
have ever been.
