Memorial days suggested to Rev. G.
G. Mosher of the Free Baptist church
his theme for Sunday morning. He
preached a notable sermon on the
Heroes of Faith" using the 18th
chapter of Hebrews as suggestive of
heroic deeds of that day and every
day The following typical cases were
mentioned: Noah, the hero of an I'M
popular undertaking. Abraham, the
hero of unquestionng obedience
Moses. the hero of self-dcnial. Barak
the military hero. David, the reigninS
hero. Under that last point l said
God needs heroes on the throne as well
as heroes in the field. Not all of a ma
tons heroes march With the troops
David is called a man after Gods own
heart in the sense that he was a ruler
in whom the Almighty was well
pleased. He ruled with great skill and
with great care to know and do the
right. He was not influenced too much
by others, but was conscicntously in
dependent. God needs such heroes
ever. 1t means something for a ma
tons ruler Notwithstanding all the
pressure brought to bear upon him
from different sides to stand for the
right. 1t takes a hero to run the
gauntlet of public. criticism every day
and yet maintain a sturdy indcpend-
cnce. And when we ge at the head of
this great nation a man of Christian
character and nobility of purpose, a
man who is not Swayed by politicians
nor SWerved by bosses, q man who had
ra her he President one term and act
conscicntiously for the right as God
gives him to see the right than be
President two terms at the compromise
of principle let us as admirers of the
truly heroic shown by our attitude
what sort of manhood we appreciate in
our rulers.

ton, and a specialist in Sunday school
work for children of the earlier grades.
The Saturday evening meeting was

ance from the church workers of the
city. Mrs. Petit spoke on the organ
iZation and management of cradle roll
and primary department, and conduct
ed a general discussion of the prob
lens of teachers and superintendents
Her thorough grasp of the subject was
a surprise to those attending, notwith-
standing that she has national repu-

and service for his topic-love the en-
