DIR. PITT ON "FELLowsHIP."
Able Young Editor breaches a Fine
Sermon at Centenary vi. Il. Church.

Rev. DIR. X. II. Pitt preached at Cen
tenary Methodist church Sunday morn
ing in the absence from the city of the
pastor, Rev. DR.. w. V. Tudor, and was
heard by a large and attentive audience.
"Fellowship'' was the subject of DR..
Pitts strong and thoughtful discourse.
He began by drawing a clear and nice
distinction between fellowship and com
partnership, an allied word. People might
be companions who were almost strangers
to each other, he declared but fellow
ship meant something more than mere
association. II was born OF sympathy
and a unity Of purpose. 1t was closer,
Infinitely so, than companionship, and fol-
lowed after II with the years. 1t was deep
and subtle, binding men together with
strong tie, and dependent upon perfect
confidence OF one in the other. Such
feeling existed between the Saviour and
the saved, and, like the feeling between
man and man, grew with the lapse of
wears. II was also dependent on perfect
understanding OF and confidence in the
one in the other. Dr. Pitt brought out
especially the truth very beautiful one'
that is sometimes lost sight Of, that Jesus
has faith in His people, weak and erring
many times as they are, even as they
trust implicitly in Him.
The fulness and sweetness of this fel-
lowship was only reached, the preacher
concluded, when the saved had suffered
as the Saviour had suffered, or had en-
tered in sympathy, at least, into the
agonies Of Calvary.

A CARD FROM DIR. JONES.
He Explains the Extent of His Crit
cism of DIR. Harper.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
friends, the reporters, have made a much
larger sensation out OF an incidental al
fusion in my sermon at Leigh-Street Sun
day night than the facts in the case justi-
fy. did not pour hot shot" into or
riddle" DR.. Harper, of the Chicago Uni
versity, but, preaching on ''the cid
paths Of Gods old Word, as contrasted
with the new ways OF error. and in
sisting that anything in religion newer
than the New Testament is too new 70
be true" / incidentally alluded 10 DR..
Briggs, of New York. and DR.. Harper, of
Chicago, as unsafe teachers of young
men.
In reference TO DR.. Harper, said that
man who taught that there were two
Isaiahs-that the stories Of the Old Tes-
lament, such as the Hebrew young men
in the fiery furnace. Daniel I'm the lions
den, and the story OF Jonah. were myths
akin to those concerning Romuhs and
Remus in Roman tradition, and who was
utterly unsound on the inspiration OF the
Scriptures, was not fit teacher of our
youth.
This allusion to DR. Harper was pre-
cisely the same that made in the same
sermon at the University of Virginia
some three years ago, and was not in
tended as an attack" on Dr. Harper, but
simply to be my emphatic dissent from
his Higher Criticism (so-called), New
Theology" views, and my earnest adhe-
renee to the old theology OF the old Book.

Judgment and Discretion.

Tho bountsful earth brings forth fruits
inl their seasons. They are wholesome,
but should be eaten with the sauce or
discretion.
The apple Is at the head OF the list. IL
is more easily digested than any other
fruit. But the skin should always be dis
carded, for Il irritates the bowels.
Fresh figs are good, but dried ones
should always be carefully cooked.
Crate the pineapple. or cut 1t into tiny
bits. for it's fibre Is tough, and resists
the Juices In the stomach.
The common banana Is a deceptive
thing. and children should never be al
lowed TO eat 1t raw. Baked bananas are
highly praised.
Never should the skin OF any fruit be
swallowed. The skin Is an armor lOr
the pulp. tits as unfit for food as q piece
of chalk is.
Whenever you have eaten underrlpe or
overripe fruit, and feel sharp, dartlng

IL is supremely important that the
sickness caused by bad fruit should De

the leaders in the medical profession.
Duffy's Pure Malt Is absolutely Tree

Mr. T. II. Merrill, physical director OF
the Young Mems Christian Association,
will leave the city the latter part OF this
week for Waterbury, Conn.,, the home OF
Mrs. Merrill, and after a short visit there
will go to the home of his father, at Mas
san, n. II.
Mr.. Merrill has been with the associa-
ton since October, 1926, and has made
many warm friends among the members.
He expects to re-enter association work
early in the fall, taking a combination
field-viz., that of general secretary and
physical director.
In the smaller towns, where they can
not afford to employ two men, and where
the membership is not large, this is the
plan of operating the work, and in such
places they employ young man TO look
after the office work while the secretary
is engaged with his gymnasium classes.
The matter of securing a competent
man to fill the vacancy has been referred
TO the Executive Committee, and they
are now in correspondence, through the
general secretary, with several of the
leading physical directors of the country.
