MAN NEEDS A Vision
OF GODS MARVELS
Rev. John Shape Addresses
the Y. M. c. A. Meeting.
WHAT A YOUNG MAN SAW"
A Discourse on the Scripture Story of
the Prophet Elisha and Youth-At-
tractive Musical Singing
by Jamie Crippen, Soprano.

The principal feature OF the weekly
meeting of the Young Mems Christian
Association. held at the Columbia Theatre
yesterday afternoon. was the address by
the Rev. John Shape. of Wilmington, Del
Mr.. Shape spoke on What a Young
Man Saw
A Scriptural Story.
He told the scripturaI story of the
young man who pointed out the hosts OF
the enemy to the Prophet Elisha, and in
return had his eyes opened to a vision
of the hosts of God. Mr.. Shape said in
part:
My subject has its basis in the word of
God. / am convinced that no meeting
held for the purpose of leading young
men to see the truth can prove bene-
fetal unless it has its foundation in the
word of God
Needed Vision of God.
"This young man who pointed out the
hosts of the enemy to Elisha needed one
thing. He didn't need that God should
come, for God had already come. In
stead. he wanted the sight Of God and
his mighty hosts.
I'VE only ask that we have our eyes
opened to the fact that God is here. We
want the faith to know that God is here
in the world today, although We cannot
see him. Men do not always see what
they look At. The one crying need of the
world today IS an Open-cyed vision of the
maryels OF God.
His Eyes Opened.
That young man had his eyes opened
to vision Of some of the reserve power
of God. All we want is to see something
of the great power that lies behind our
vision and waiting to come to our aid.
We talk of the sovereignty of God and
we are frightened at it. We say we
won't look at 1t. But let us get that
power on our side and know that 1t Is
there to aid us, and we will cease to be
afraid.
I'VE can accomplish wonderful things
with that back of us. That wonderful
power is here about us today, and Is only
waiting for you young men to grasp it.
A Ridiculous Doctrine.
This ridiculous doctrine of Christian
Science-which is neither Christian nor
science-tries to convince US that nothing
is material. But let me tell you that the
great power of God Is material We only
need to have our eyes opened like the
young man who was with Elisha
Christ is here. Turn your eyes toward
him and you will see him. Your saliva
tion rests on the power of God-what the
young man saw

visited the ice caverns and diamond

at the mine of wealth they contain. The
state of Ohio, or at least that part where
they live, contains no such minerals, and
they carried home several specimens to
show the people what we have down

Leeds offers excellent opportunities

serve several Of the principles Of the
text book. The manner in which peat
forms is plainly illustrated in certain
sections II the town, and especially
Is this true in several places within
a radius Of two miles of Curtis Cor
ner. Ponds of medium size have
gradually decreased until now they can
scarcely be termed anything except bog
holes. Water and horse lilies, numerous
other kinds Of vegetable matter and
snakes abound in these places. The old
residents Of the town remember when
these pools Of water were several times
larger then they are now, and they used
TO fish on their banks. The ponds have
gradually decreased in depth and cir
conference. This is caused by growth
of vegetable matter which decays and
forms layer after layer on the cotton.
How long this process has continued is
unknown, but it will probably date back
into remote ages when not even the

Tuesday evening tho large and en-
thusiastic audience that filed Odeon
Hall must have been pleasing testi-

citation of his efforts by the music-loving
people of Bethel. The concert was one
of the finest ever held here and although
the soloists were new to IN audience
here they will always receive a warm
welcome If they should return. Kro-
nold's appearance was not his first here
and more and more people realize his
wonderful skill. The choruses did espe-
cially good work. It Is rare treat to
musical people in our country villages
to be able to hear the best Of talent.
What the music festival and the concerts
given during the year, through the
energy of Prof. Chapman and his as
sistants have done, grows more and more
upon the minds Of the people, who at
first were incredulous of the successful
result.
