Sermon
BY Rev.
Frank De Witt Talmaee. d. d.

Los. Angeles. Cal. Aug i3.-In this
sermon the preacher shows that II the
church ever means TO win the world
for Christ II must he true to its pro-
fcssions. collectively and individually.
The text Is Solomon's Song vi. ~.
Terrible rs an army with banners"
Difficult Is II TO keep sweet and keep
moving" M poet once wrote-dini-
cult not TO look upon the dark side OF
life and lie impressed by the mean
nesscs and the contemptlbleness OF
men rather thun by mans good quail
ties and by his nobiIties. Almost all
people every day of their lives have
ticcd upon them. Unless very careful
we are prone TO become pessimistlc
and to entertain dlsparaging views OF
our fellow men. II may be that the
conduct of some with whom we come
In contact leads us TO think them as
worthless rs that man whose life Paul
Boyton saved few years ago. Mr..
Boyton was spending a few weeks In
Atlantic city. on the New Jersey coast
One day the cry Of Help. was raised.
A bnther who was very wealthy
man had been swimming far out be-
yond the life lines. Caught In the cur
rents. he was being swept out to sea.
MIR. Boyton at ouce jumped into the
water and at the peril OF his own life
brought this millionaire to shore In an
unconscious condition. Next day the
rescued man hunted up Paul Boyton.
After thanking him for what he had
roll of bills. He turned them over and
over Then he put the bills back into
his pocket. Not one was small enough
for his fancy. Then he took out II
ffty cent piece and handed 1t to the
rescuer. What Is that for!" asked the
great swimmer. "H'hy. for saving my
life" oh" said Boyton. Then the
swimmer took out his own pocketbook
and counted out 80 cents and handed
them back TO the millionaire. Here
Is your change" said he. For what?"
why" said Boyton. you have over
paid me. Any millionaire like you
who would offer a man 80 cents for
saving his life has soul so mean and
small that II IL not worth more than a
penny. IL II is worth even that" II
was the reproof OF justly incensed
man. But we have 10 beware lest I'M

Personal History.
Never was | more impressed with
this conviction than Oh one occasion
by the recital Of II personal history Of
great American minister whom !
love well For some years he had
been preaching In one Of our southern
cities. The church seemed 10 be splr-
itually dead. The people loved him
with all the cordialiiy Of the south
and socially did everything for him:
still he could not move them with the
message OF his Master. one day a
friend came 10 him aud said: Doe
tor. the reason you cannot move this
city for God Is not because the men
OF the world do not believe In the
Saviour. but they do not believe In
the men and the women who are mem.

people. they say. are no different from
any other kind Of people. They gam
BILE. they drink wine. they dance. they
go TO the tlIeatcr. their names are the
most prominent among the society col
umns Of the city newspapers" Then
that friend told his pastor this story:
Some OF the chief members OF the
church had formed themselves into u
social club. TO meet each week and
play cards. Each member was to con
tribute weekly so much money. and
this money was TO he taken by the
hostess of the week aud prize was
TO be bought. TO be presented TO the
winner OF the night. one week the
hostess forgot TO buy the prize. In
stead she took the money and piled 1t
up on the center OF the table. and
the winner OF the evening took the
cash instead of the prize which ought
to have been purchased. The winner
that night was the president OF the
Christian Endeavor society OF his
church and the wife OF one OF the
elders. The history OF that nights
play has gone all over the town." said
the Informant. Now. doctor. what is
the difference between those women
playing for cash and playing for a
picture or n vase! They are gamblers

My friend went into his pulpit next
Sunday and told that story. In his
sermon he said: Friends. are not

Reasons For Failure.

The scenes OF a great church tri-
umph which shall yet be witnessed In
our land II church members are true to
their disciplcship will be marvelously
witnessed in the trlumphs OF the
church OF the Lord Jesus Christ In
foreign lands. The reason our foreign
missionaries are not accomplishing
what they should is not due TO their
lack OF faithfulness and conservation.
trine they are preaching. II Is due
almost entirely TO the sinful white
man who enters heather lands along
side OF the Christian missionary With
every ship that sets sail from our
shores carrying the white mans Bible
there go also the white mans cask
OF whisky and the white mans sins.
II the white man were true 10 God. II
would not be fifty years. nor twenty
years hence. before the whole world
would be captured for Christ.
IL the white men were united for
Christ this capture OF the heather lands
would be like the wonderful march
Of Napoleon Bonaparte when lie land
ell on the French coast from the island
VI Eliza In February. 1915. He had not
with him even u corporars guard. but
the French people believed In him. No
sooner did the dethroned emperor start
for his old capital than King Louis
Philippe's soldiers opened for him their
fortresses. The people welcomed him
In their streets. As king coming
back TO his own he entered again his
palace of the Tuileries As soon as
the church captures our own land for
Christ foreign lands will welcome
Christ. China will welcome him. Japan
will receive him. Korea and India will
receive him, Africa and South Amer
lea and the Islands Of the seas will re
ceiye him. AS an army terrible with
banners" the church will march Oh
TO capture the whole world for Christ
when we, as true Christian disciples.
purify her and do our duty by her here
at home.
Now. my friends. as church mem.
bers are We ready 10 start forth this
church of ours as conquering host:
Are we ready To say. Lord. like the
moon rejecting the light Of the sun
will from henceforth live for thee and
reflect thee!" Are we ready 10 say.
Lord. will give myself 10 thy service
In mind and body and spirit. so that

Pessimistic Views.

The pcssimistic way In which some
OF us regard men Is very similar to the
estimate some OF us place upon the
spiritual movements of the day, espe-
cially those which find expression In
the work Of the church of the Lord
Jesus Christ. We try to honestly and
intellIgently read the signs OF the
time" There we find much to dis
courage us. We do not see the chill
dren of this generation loving the
word OF God and the house OF God as
did the fathers and mothers of the past
generation. We find our Sabbaths look
ed upon as holidays instead of holy
DAYS. We And the golden calf" the
shrine at which the human race IL
anxious to worship and that the saloon
Is being intrenched everywhere. We
find the Bible being driven out of our
public schools and that many Of our
state colleges have men In their pro
fcssorial and presidential chairs who
never darken the doors OF the church
and whose whole influence. direct aud
indirect. Is 10 lead their students into
the paths Of free thought and not
into the paths conyerging at the feet
OF the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes" some
Of you say, at is all well enough to
talk about coming millennium. but
where are the signs OF its coming?
The world IL growing darker and
darker This Is not a spiritual land OF
the midnight sun. but one OF midday
blackness. Everything spiritually seems
10 be going askew." Is II. my brother?
I would not have you take such n de
pressed view OF things. ] am today
going TO take my stand upon the proph-
ecy OF my text. am not only going
to show you a vision of conquering
church In the years TO come. but "a CON
querIng church In the years that are
now at hand.
Because Paul Boyton saved the life
OF n millionaire who offered him
nifty cent piece for his service II does
not follow that all men are misers and
ungratcful. Because the morning sun
for some OF us seems TO be obscured
by the fog banks Of mist. that does not
prove that these mists shall never be

morning. fair as the moon. clear as
the sun and terrible as an army with

answer "This the conqucrlng church

The annual fair for the benefit of the

bunting presenting festival attire. On
either side of the hall were booths o.
many kinds, offering for sale different

On Wednesday full side show with
all its amusing features was presented

it's full environment. Jackson, the ar
tist. acted as Snowman with all his
inimitable art and cleverness and every
one of the freaks carried out their part
with the skill and dpxterity of the real
articles. All the characters generally
seen in this accompanying feature of
the circus were on exhibition and the
show given was fully up the average
of professionals. The entertainment
opened with full street parade, headed
by Jackson and accompanied by one of
his faithful animals. A brass band of
six pieces, hat never was beaten by any
side show followed with clowns and
plet, circuit of the hall, the parade re-
turned to the stage and the "barkers"
began their work. The band started and
the show soon began. In all there were
ten performers and freaks. A pleasing
and well patronized feature was "Cupid's

letter awaiting them ON payment of the
postage due. The idea and clever inter-
probation of the entertainment was re-
warded with "A full attendance and every
one was satisfied.

Gossip of the Campus and Dormitories
Middlebury college at the recent con-

The freshman class is considering the

with the freshmen of some other college.
There is some very good debating ma
