Rev. D. NJ. Helmick said in part:
81 am not here tonight with theory
to present 20 you. I am here speaking
Of real conditions. conditions that prob
ably every one of you may have known.
Some cause for worry. some trouble or
sorrow that bears you down. Some Of
YOU men may have some dark closet
ia YOUR home and inside that closet
some skeleton. You hate To omen the
door. II is your sorrow and trouble
Il do not wonder that so many seek
SUrcease Of their trouble in some of
these places that line Main street
do not wonder that they seek to drown
their woes. But after all it is no per
maueut relief 1t is but a surccasc for
the moment"
The speaker went on to say that there
was but one way To find peace and re-
lief from the troubles and surrows Of
this lfe-through the grace of the Sa-
Vior and his teachings.
