gathering, and is today important
As factor of education and an
economic force in the community
where it is buildcd. There is a
school of social economy which ,ays
that society would be better without
the church, and that the minister is
not a factor in the economic life OF
the people: that the church produces
nothing and contributes nothing to
the good of the community. There
is also school OF philosophers and
scientists who tell us OF the finger
marks OF the Creator imprinted in
allure. but they tell us nothing OF
God or of communion with Him.
Nothing but the church supplies this
need OF man for communion with his
maker. Then it is necessary that
God should tabernacle with men in
order thet his purposes may be
known TO men. 1t is necessary for
the spread of the gospel, for it is
only by the spread OF the gospel
that men are upliftcd and humanzcd;
it is only in lands where the. gospel
Is preached that the aged are cared
for and the sick and the unfortunate
provided for. The purpose OF every
church and also OF every Christian
should be to fix upon some special
work and some distinct purpose and
keep that ever in view. This church
should have n distinctive aim. 1t
should be so distinctive that wien
ever this First Presbyterian Church
i'll Rocky Ford was spoken Ct it
would AT once suggest some one par
ticular thing for which it stood or
which it had accomplished.

illness rcjoiccd to see and hear her
on Sunday, The audience was still,
ii it did not adore.
The soliciting of subscriptions to
the building fund followed the morn
ing sermon. The pastor reported a
deficiency OF $1,000 to be raised and
after reading list OF previous sub
scriptions aggrcgating $4,000 and
paying a word of tribute to the faith
Jul and liberal support OF his :ongre-
cation in carrying on the work OF
building to its completion he then
turned over the soliciting further
donations to Rev. Williams. The
latter urged all the usual pleas for
generous support of church work,
and holding the crowd well in hand
until the hour of O'Clock he was
able to report S6,I3I of the $1,000
needed to meet the Indebtedness.
The lateness of the hour compelled
deferring the dcdicatory exercises i'm
til the evening service, and the af-
ternoon Fellowship" meeting was
put to $3.50.
At that hour the choir again led

while all the French inhdcis and en-
eyclopcdists were crumbled into dust.
Jesus was the great ideal of today.
and 1t was to realize that ideal in
the hearts OF men that this mayniii-
cent piece OF church architecture had
been constructed.
DIR. kirkwood said he supposed
that was only the upper crust OF that
iinc piece of pie. and wondered what
we might have got had Mr.. Bluhm
had time for the whole pic.

as poem in bricks and mortar. but
it would be a mistake to lose sight
of the real purpose of church in
Our admiration for its architecture.
II should not be viewed in the light
OF an achievement in eclipsing other
church buildings. nor as an invest
mcnt OF so much capital by few
rich men with a view to spiritual
dividends: nor as an accomplishment
out OF which we were to get certain
amount of glory by getting our name
upon subscription list. 1t was very
proper that we should have place
where we could worship God with
deccncy and in order but the prime
purpose of church was to provide
for the acknowledging of Gods good
ness and mercy to the children of
men: a place of service, place
where the motto on these windows
Come Unto Me" might be truly
proclaimed from the pulpit
DR.. Kirkwood with few reanin-
iscent remarks on the organization
and the growth OF the local church
society closed the meeting
In the evening bumper house fill
ed the auditorium and the school
room annex, all the other local
churches having withdrawn their eve
ming services for the occasion.
In the morning the Gloria Patri
had been given and the anthem 20
Make Joyful Noise" both finely
sung. In the evening the choir gave
20 Come Let Us Sing as the an

sang again and very sweetly NO

Rev J. 7. Thomas of Cagon City
failed to arrive and DR.. Williams was
called upon to fill the pulpit again.
His evening text was: eff any man

The sermon was mainly devoted to
defining what constituted a Christian.
The speaker repudiated morality as
emitting man to the name of Chris
tian. Brahmanism and Mormonism
were both good systems of morals in
way, but belief in those doctrines

did not make man Christian.
Two-thirds at least OF the men and
women We meet every day are good
people morally but they are not
Christians. Most OF the husiHFss
men OF Rocky Ford. most 81 the lad
les OF the town were moral, bus tEeI
were not therefore Christian. The
only true sign of a Christian was

Being Square
With The World
IfYou Would Give and Get Full Value
Here's A Suggestion.

Are you getting full value out of
life? And is the world getting full
value out of you? In matters of bust
ness and in our relations, man to man,
we owe it to ourselves and to the
world to do our best,-to make our
selves of full value. Do this and, in
turn, you will get full value out of life.
You can't do full justice to anything
unless you feel right And you can't
feel right unless you live right. Eat
ing right is essential to living right.
Eat the right kind of food and you
will not suffer. The right kind of food
for you and your family. the weak and
the strong, the sick and the well, the
grown folks and the little folks, is
Malta-Vita, that delicious, crisp, whole
wheat food.
A perfect breakfast is impossible
without Malta-Vita, and it's just as
good three times a day. Being a pure
grain product, without any foreign
sweetening agent or other adultera-
tive, Malta-Vita is rich in food ele-
ments-every nutritious element of the
best white wheat and pure barley malt
eXtract-intensely vitalizing.
Try Malta-Nita with cream or fruit.
There is no other food Just as good
None that can take its place. And it's
always ready to eat. No cooking. No
Inconvenience. All grocers, now 10
cents. -

Insurinq AGAINST Umbrella Thefts.

Overcoat thieves find the Vienna
cafes peculiarly happy hunting
ground, writes foreign correspondent
of the Pail Mall Gazette So numer-
GUS have their depredations become
that the cafe proprietors have formed
an insurance association to reimburse
their customers against the loss of
overcoats, hats or umbrellas. Insur-
ance coupons cost from Is. Sd. up
ward, according to the amount insur-
ed, and they protect their holders
against robbery in any cafe whose pro-
prietor has Joined the association.
Even the university Is not safe from
these robbers, and the students have
formed a mutual insurance society
which upon payment Of 10 pence in
sures its members against the loss Of
their overcoats. Probably the unusual
severity of the last winter is respon-
sible for the increased activity of the
thieves.
