poSiuVh ana obstacles come uP s s|a..S should refuse to be discouraged ana nn4 m such difficulties. an incentive 70 sotto the front and fight to the nnlsn; ,r:i Sin" continued the preacher mas losl all originality. Ths devil has ou. tnres arrows In his culver. first. the lust oi the flesh: second. the lust of the eye. and
 third, the pride of life. Sin IS tne out- como of heredity and environment.
 He presented the thought that there ls in life, serious element. which IS neitheT beredit nor environment and that Is personality" and the need IS TOT per, sonai saviour which Is only to pc found In Christ. The need is not for a Tar away Saviour, but for a Saviour who VIII come trouble of heredity. and conquors.2 Hs meets the trouble of environments, anu by surrounding. getting closer to the sinner. conquors. se y. He can change the 'song or life, from
 dirge, into a song of praise.
 The first note in the song, said pr.
 Vance is: God Is faithful; trust Hum;
 He will not disappoint you. The second tempted above that ye are able; He
 knows just what one can stand, and just
 how far one can suffer. The third mote
 is He will with the temptation, also make a way of escape" q. The great truth represented in this last
 note" by pr. Vance. was that howso. ever hedged about by sin. God Is able and
 willing to make way of escape. ''" A last happy thought presented. was, that, when the peculiar sinner. accepts the peculiar Saviour, then there Is q peculiar Saint.
 Don't join an anti-worry club" said pr. Vance and worry yourself to death
 in trying not to worry, but quit trying to be happy and begin to trust" ''
 The Night Service. Dr. Vance preached last night from the text found in Second Timothy IS: ''Tky Grandmother Lois and thy mother. Flu. nice." and took as his theme Mother" !" The story of the bond of friendship ex- isting between Paul and Timothy, was beautifully told by pr. Vance; friend ship that ended only when 8 martyrs crown had been won by both of them.
 pr. Vance spoke Of the influence Of the godly grandmother and mother, on the life of young Timothy, of how nothing was said of his father So far as he was concerned in the developing of his son he was a nonentity, he was only "a Greek Timothy was fortunate, he said, in having a mother who believed in God and who wrought into his life the fiber of manhood.
 pr. Vance paid a glowing tribute to womanhood and motherhood :
 He told of how all the professions and trades of today are open to women and when woman Is placed in position that she must earn her livelihood she steps to the front and wins her way In the mod ern world.
 He said that every tribute of respect and honor should be shown the women who occupy prominent places in public life, but the best place for woman IS the home and her brightest crown Is that of motherhood"
 Dr. Vance spoke of the two kinds of women prominent in church life; tine fIrst. the woman who makes herself felt by reason of her ability to raise money, to organize and to lead in all church work. The other Is the woman who makes 10 speeches but her charity is far reaching, l. ,,It I- AF ,As her purse ever ready for the relief of the distressed and suffering. and the world loves that kind of woman.
 Those are the queenliest of the race. Tt is mother who is the first high priest Css; 1t Is mother who implants into the soul the rirst conception or God; the first views of life and sense of duty are con Celved from mother and 1t Is the convic~ tions. planted in the heart by mother. that makes the character for all llie.'
 Dr. Vance drew q beautiful picture of the mothers s way of reaching the heart of her child. What man thinks about woman determines what sort of man he is. said Dr. Vance, and alas for the world when the days of chivalry are over"
 An impressive thought suggested by Dr. Vance was that when a man succeeds. the world gives scant applause; when a man fails, the world marches on over his prostrate body. but, somewhere there IS d mother. 10 whom ms success means everything, to whom his failure gives the deepest concern. .st5:
 How often.' said Dr. Vance. "does the memory of mother keep us from temptatior In the struggle of life. the thought of a mothers love and the merl- ory of mothers devotion has helped us to do our best" <;' In conclusion pr. Vance urged that to while yet she is here, for the tiInA will come, only too soon, when she will be gone forever. "@ Dr. Vance will preach this morning at 10:30 o'clock and this evening at o''luck. This evenings service will be the last of the series of services which have been held for the past two weeks in the Cen- ! tral Church, and pr. Vance will leave to- morrow morning for his home in Newark. N. J. " HOLT DYES CLOTHES.
