LIFE IS AS WE MAKE IT.
DIR. Smith Talks of the Wealth of OPP
portunity and Paucity of Ability.

nOrtumity and Pauclty Oh NnAAts'
A large audience greeted Rev. j. Cum
ming Smith yesterday morning at the
Tabernacle Church. In substance Mr.
Smith spoke as follows: mo man that has
looked into the core of life has failed to
mark the two attitudes of men-the one OF
open welcome towards the wealth that lies
around and the other of refusal hidden and
logged. and that opulence which surrounds
even the lowest and most meager soul pours
itself only in the former our world is
crowded with instruments of music, for the
most part silent, because few or no deft
hands know how to play upon the strings.
Take for example, a city. 1t means mass
Of men of many views and many ambitions.
1t means an enormous institutional life 1t
means myriads of enticing opportunities. 1t
means college and commerce, art and relig-
ion industrial vigor and commercial inn
pressiveness. 1t is microcosm, compact
and condensed world. Into this center of
possible culture the man enters with a flip
pant and frivolous soul He has none of
that humility which means a hunger for all
tho noblest inspirations. There is an in
applicable self-complacency and self-satis-
faction that benumbs every feeling Tor
progress. This sort of man glides in and
out of this living. thrilling mass, and the
flight of weeks finds him as empty and airy
as when he entered it. Exuberant
though it is, the man draw
nothing from it. All its resources stand in
dignantly outside the pale OF his cOnceit
and refuse to enrich him. Picture another
man, with receptive soul, nervous con-
stitution and how alert he is to catch the
floating Ideals; how he absorbs the match
less movements of commerce; how the po-
litical fever sets him afre how the various
societies of being and orbal culture load
him; how the multform energies of church,
life court his mind to its best zeal The
fight OF weeks finds him a matured and
many sided man. There is, / believe a
mathematical precision in this law man
gets out of a thing just In proportion as he
gives his best to it. This Will drive away
vast deal of repellant superstition from the
church. Take the Bible. We all can lay

Resignation of DIR. Pounds, of the Gem
trail Christian Church.


1t was understood that the officials of the
Central Christian Church would take some
action on the resignation recently rendered
by Rev. John +. Pounds, pastor of the
church, yesterday, but it was decided to
postpone action on the resignation until
after the coming church convention Mean
time DR.. Pounds will continue to occupy
the pulpit of the church.
1t is said that quite a large portion of the
congregation regret that DR. Pounds ever
determined to resign, and hope is expressed
that he will reconsider his action. A num-
Der feel that he would do so were he given
assurance that the opposition is of less mag
nitude than he supposed. Officers of the
church insist that there are no factions and
that Dr. Pounds resignation was the re-
suit of misunderstanding rather than of a
serious breach in the harmony of the
church.
