THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

! Rev. OrVille Coats preached from the i following text: All these things vii I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me" Matt f:9: Come yc after me, and l will make you fishers of men" Matt. 4:19.
 The Call of the Wild is the story of the degeneration of a dog The dogs name was Buck" lie was a magnificent creature. The blood oi the Scotch Highlands and of the Swiss Alps-the Shepherd and the Saint Ber- nard-mingled in his veins. Stolen from the sunny Santa Clara valley he is sold and sent to the frozen north. He is king of the huskies or sled dogs His love for John Thornton who loved him and whose life he saved, is almost human. But far away in the forest the howl oi the timber wolf seems to arouse dormant memories and impulses belonging to his wolf ancestors of long ago. He makes friends with wolf. He returns to the camp The call of the pack draws him again into the woods He returns to the camp.
 The Indians have massacred the men and the other dogs. John Thornton is traced till the scent is lost in the sluice box and Buck knows that the one man he loved is dead. He returns to the forest. fights his way into the respect of the savage pack and reverts finally to the fife of a timber wolf.
 There is enough parallel between this story and the degeneration of a man to warrant perhaps the choice of my topic: "The Call of the Wild" Two
 
 open for our feet. We go forward and upward at the call of the Christ, Ur we go backward and downward in re- sponse to what l shall call tonight by way of accommodating illustration, the call of the wild-the selfish, the savage, the uncivilized instinct
 l. The Degeneration of Man. What is there back wonder in the woods out of which we came? It is d startling fact that the savage quail ities of the brute creation are con densed potentially in the heart of man. He has the strength of the lion, the ferocity of the tiger. the subtlety of the serpent, the vision of the eagle, the stubbornness of the mule and the greed of the swine. He has also the beasts courage. endurance. patience. memory and affection. If your theory of evolution will not permit you to go so far back, we may find the timber wolf stage of savage, selfish. sen sual goddess ancestors without travel ing very far into ancient history.
 Two things are very sure, explain them as you will. We are living in a physical body in which the impulses and cravings of animals clamor to be heard. The other fact is that Tt is hard to get rid of the old folks" In- herited tendencies, if not actual appe- tites and passions, call us to revert

to the goddess, the timber wolf type of life.
 (b) How do these calls reach us ?
 They come to us through our environ
 ment. through our weaknesses and
 through our strength. The call of the
 wild did not come to Buck in the cul- tured home in California but in the
 snowy forests of the Arctic region, the
 home of the wolf. If we live among the wolves We shall hear them howl. and. as we cannot live anywhere else in a world of sin, the temptation of the { call will surely reach us all.
 In our times of abounding vitality comes the call to the life without grat- . ificatiOn. In our days of self-indul- | gence and despair, when the power of
 resistance is low, we surrender to the : selfish and foolish.
 What does it mean to listen to this call? Just what it meant for the dog of high degree and noble od.-degen- i eration into the timber wolf life. We ] drop down to the animal level. Our prisons asylums and poor houses are | filled with men and women who have | heard and responded to the call of the wild. They have gone backward to 1 physical, intellectual and moral ruin. ! Yes. we find the topic illustrated in the high places of the land, where { surrender to the instincts of the brute, of the lion, the tiger, the serpent. the eagle, the mule, the swine, has placed men in positions of might and worldly prosperity, Many of the money kings, the political masters of men. the rulers of society have gained their position and power simply by strength of arm, and sharpness of tooth and fang. The pathway by which they have ascended is stained with blood and strewn with the corpses of the slain who opposed their progress. But whether it be up or down. the call of the wild is the call to moral ruin.
 II. But there is another call, and the voice is that of the Christ.
 Whatever our theory of human origin may be. whatever of the animal and the savage may remain to influ- ence us today. one thing is sure. There came a time when man became more than an animal. It was then that the hand of the Almighty touched him, the breath of God filled his nostrils and he took the image of God and became llN HE SOul. lt CdIl Ol lllt tiil ioN dates not only from Calvary but also from primeval Eden where God walked with man and man walked with God in love and harmony The call of the Christ is the appeal of the Eternal Father to his lost and wandering child just surely as it is the invitation of the great Elder Brother who came to seek and to save that which was lost. Cbl How does this call reach Us? :? It comes to us through our better in- stincts. It sounds the one divine chord which remained unbroken when every other snapped under the pressure of Satan's temptation.
 The call comes through our weakness and conscious moral nelplessness. When we are weary, when we "labour and are heavily laden" then we hear the call Come unto me, and I will give you rest" When we are strong and the wrongs of the world cry out

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

At the Christian church, l.. Williams, minister. the theme was: Christ the Power of God" l Cor. 1:24.
 Paul in the first chapter of his epis- tie to the Collassious lets us know that Christ is the manifestation of Gods power in the creation of the material world. For by him were all things created" Also that Christ is the CO., hesive power of God. By him all things consist''-that is hold together; without Christ. the power of God, this world would resume a chaotic state Let it be noted that in this doctrine Paul answers all the age png riddles concerning the beginning of this uni verse and of man and the question as to how the world persists.
 As Christ was the manipulation of Gods power in creation. so he is in the recreation. A great calamity came up- on man. Sin had separated man from his Creator and Father. Man had re- belled against God and was in state of rebellion and exposed to eternal mis- cry and woe God longed to redeem and rescue his lost children and pre- pare them to live in fellowship with him forever. Who can do it? Who can manifest his power and persuade man to return to his Fathers house? Heaven answers Christ: One who is acquainted with God and who has the ability to reveal God to man. Christ incarnated in the flesh because the manifestation of Gods power to re- deem man from sin.
 During his life Jesus manifcsts ,nu-ar in his. ssIJa epalya as never man spake." and knowledge is power The power by which he did miracles, he ascribed to God the Faith CT. 'The Father that dwelleth in me doeth the works" In his sinless life in his perfect character Jesus sets forth

of the church as leaven to leaven the
 whole lump.
 ! I dare say that the Master knew that this man could not become an well rounded spiritual man unless he began 10 sarve Him at once. Service for the Lord Jesus Christ is one of the things without which there can
 be no proper spiritual assimilation. The man who spends his whole time in prayer may be what you and I would call good man. but he is not a Well-rOunded servant of Almighty God. You will find proof of the fact that activity is necessary in the life stories of all the men of God who have been nearest the ideal. The we'll rounded man is the man who serves. The great purpose of things in both the spiritual as :n the natural world of LIS. Listen Herein is my Father glOrified that ye bear much fruit. So shall ye be my disciDles."
 We may go still farther and say that evidently the Lord Jesus Christ was Uttering these words to this man for his own sake that he might come to be what he wanted to be and receive the reward in the end. It is certainly a truth that as we give so we receive God demonstrates it day by day in the experience of men. As the echo re- turns to us the very words we speak so every day in the week those things come back to us which we give out from our lives. Bless the world and the world will bless you; lift up the world. and the world will help you: hate the world. ard the world will hate you; despise the world. and the world will despise you. 'I gave my self to God and. To, he rendered back myself a saint unto myself"
 As Christ speaks these words He is answering two questions: When shall we begin to serve Christi" and Where shall We serve Christi" Christ intended that the man to whom he spoke should begin to serve Him just as quickly as he was q free man. There are two reasons why We should begin to serve Christ immediately. First it is easier to begin it when the sense of Christ's great love and power of redemption is fresh in our minds. Second. if service is begun at once, it is likely that we will give a whole life of service to Him.
 Where shall begin to serve Christi" Christ said "Go home and tell thy friends" The duty that we ought to perform is the duty to the man next to us.
 God doesn't say anything about any distinction between home missions and foreign missions. That we have a duty to the man next to LIS does not re- move our duty to the man across the seas. He says, ."Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" That a duty is hard. that it is very difficult to speak to d friend does not relieve us of the duty of per sOnal evangelism.
 Christ here sets His seal upon the value of the testimony of personal ex- perience in winning men to Him. Those who know from experience the saving

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Sunday morning, April 5th, Rev. Henry Martyr Campbell preached from the text, GO home to thy friends and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee" Mark 5:9, emphasizing the theme, Duty First" Following is an abstract of the dis course:
 In OUT text we find the Lord Jesus Christ rebuking a very natural tend ency that is found in the church even at this present time. Here is q man who has been freed from the power of the evil one and he wants simply to sit in the presence Of Jesus and do practically nothing, but Christ gives him something to do at once: "Go home" He says, ito thy friends and tell them how great things the LoId hath done for thee" About d decade ago the people of the church came to the conclusion that not enough was being done in the waZ of looking to God. and so they began forming pray CT bands and employed spiritual eX- perts to endcavor to deepen the spir- itual life of the children of God. It is true that the church needed the new spiritual power, but not for the pur- pose of hoarding it. It was as though the church desired to sit close to Him for no other purpose than to grow spiritually fat. The church can never have too much faith. love, and conse- cration. can got spend too much time in meditation upon truth, but there comes q time when it may well be said. This ought ve to have have done and not left the other undone." Without the use of her activities the church is in a dangerous condition. The church of God is rot to be like a sponge in any sense of the word. Christ speaks

to be righted; when the sufferings oi men appeal to us in groans and tears, when the possibilities of a new life are revealed to our eyes, then we hear the call, Come ye. after me and I will make you fishers of men,
 Co What does it mean to obey this call? The Christ shall tell us. If any man serve me let him follow me, and where I am there shall also my servant be" He that overcometh. I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also Overcame, and sat down with my Father in His throne. Which voice do you hear and which will you heed?

Considering Mr.. Taft in the light of
the things he has done and will have
to do as president, close student of
public men in Washington recently
wrote of him as follows:
THE times demand not man bear
ing promise of new things, but man
who is to finish the things begun.
Such n man is Taft, newer of wood
who has no ambition TO link his name
with new measures, but who, with a
steady hand and a heart always kind
and a mind always generously just
can clean off the desk.
He knows that the desk is clutter

or eight years to get down to the ma

But the American people must know
that in some way this must be done
before this nation can go further. and

Difference Between Bryan and Taft
What the Baltimore Sun Says.
The Baltimore Sun, which caused
one of the big sensations of the cam
paign by Its advocacy of Taft for the
presidency, points out that, while Bry
an on his speechmaking visit recently
to Baltimore attracted a large num-
Der of people to hear his message
twelve years ago he spoke there to
one of the greatest outpourings that
that city had ever seen at a political
meeting and that shortly afterward
Baltimore gave a majority against him
of 21,098 votes.
This editorial states that in opposing
the election of Mr.. Bryan the Sun Is
not opposing true Democracy or Demo
cratic principles. The choice, it says,
is not so much between parties as be-
tween men. The people, we believe,
will decide in favor of restoring pros
perity through Mr.. Taft rather than
in turning prosperity from the door
through Bryan. The people now de-
sire above all things the return Of nor
NAL business and industrial conditions
and industrial peace. The working
people want employment and good
wages. We do not believe that these
things can be attained by man who
has won prominence, not by sound and
enlightened craftsmanship, but by
ceaseless agitation, by ceaseless striv-
ings after something new and strange.
Mr.. Taft will carry out fearlessly and
faithfully the policies which the people
demand, but he will not consider it
necessary TO throw the country into
bankruptcy and business stagnation in
order to make it virtuous"

Little Girl Writes For a Nice One For

A little girl who had heard that ba-

upon the brilliant idea of writing to
Mr.. Stork as if to Santa Claus to let
him know she wanted another addi-
ton to the family. She had heard of
New York city and addressed her let
ter. Mr.. Stork, Central Park" so it
eventually fell into the hands OF Park
Commissioner Smith. The girl evi-
IDENTITY is not particular whether she
gets little brother or sister, for
she didn't make any specifica dons.
Her letter reads:
Dear Mr.. Stork-My name is Anna
Trainor, and would like you very much
TO send me nice little baby, for I like
them very much. My friend. whose name
is Hazel Carney. told me that she wrote
a letter TO you, and few days after she
received a letter from you telling her that
you would send baby Christmas or be-
fore Christmas. Well, Mr.. Stork, my let
ter must come to a close, but don't for
get to send each of us a baby, no other
time but this Christmas, Dec. %. Hazel
said that she did not get her baby yet, so
don't forget to send them Christmas.
