Rev. George Foster Prentiss Spoke
 There Yesterday.
 There was large attendance at the Railroad Y. M. c. A. meeting in the association rooms yesterday afternoon. The meeting was opened with an over- ture by an orchestra from the Daven- port Congregational church. An in- spring song service, led by the orches- tra, followed. Mr. Fenno, the general secretary, spoke of the rapid growth and increased strength of the associa- ton and thanked the friends for their interest and support.
 Rev. George Foster Prentiss address, ed the meeting upon the subject Of Flaws" His text was from I Kings 10: "And his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God" He said in part: "There is no event in history, more pathetic than the experience of Solomon. He had special ability and a special opportunity to apply his wis dom. His flaw was not physical nor intellectual. It was a moral flaw. When our love dies our faith loses hold, for faith is built upon love.
 "The subject divides itself naturally into three parts. In the first place, flaws are invisible. For if they were visible they would not be allowed. But it does not follow that everything which has been inspected is flawless. A flaw is all the more dangerous be- cause it is invisible.
 Secondly, the flaw is structural or fundamental Because it is fundamen- tai everything ought to be most care fully inspected. Our hearts may be strong under ordinary circumstances, but if there is fundamental weakness we fail in time of special temptation. Feeling the seriousness of flaws we come to the consideration of the rem edy. The only thing that would have | saved King Solomon was a new heart l That was the one supreme thing need ed by him. With a new heart and strong faith, we shall be able to stand | under any stress. Christ found the spiritual life bloodless and inactive Out of His infinite love, He opened His veins for the life of the world
