FOR THE YOUNG MEN
DIR TEACH SPOKE OF HIS RELIC
 I0Us WORK.
President of Auburn Delivered First 0f . Series of Addresses
 to Bareca Bible

The Bafaca class of the Dexter Ave nue Methodist church was much edi- ficd and encouraged by a nasterful ad- dress by pr. Chas. C. Thach. of Au- burn. yesterday morning during the regular Sunday School hour. This Is but the first of series of lectures or addresses that Leon McCord. the teacher of the class. has in store for this popular and growing class of young men.
 There were nearly fifty young men promptly on hand to listen to pr. Thach when he began his address. pr. Thach's was q message of encourage ment all the way through. He spoke in a practical discourse on the energies of young men in Sunday School work. His theme might be said to have been an exposition of the philosopry of re- ligion as applied to the young man.
 Examples of the possibilities of the young man in church and Sunday School work were taken from the Bi- ble by pr. Thach. These were Tinlo- thy. Joseph, Samuel and others. The ardor of youth. according to the wis. iting speaker Is as conquering fac- tor in betterment of the soul as In the secular fghts of life. His appeal was to enter early into the growth which God has promised to the beginner. one of the most pathetic sights of this age is that of a petrified soul, isolated and immured to the touch of his fellow man and his God.
 One of the striking parts of pr. Thach's address was his lucid expian- ation of the Bible and It's power. It is to him not a book but a library. For thirty odd years he has read and stud fed this library but on each successive sitting he finds that 1t yields up more new truth or adds to an old one. He deplored. too. the tendency of critics and cynics to be contented to pick out isolated passages of Scripture and comment upon them without studying or having studied such passages in their relationship to what went before or what followed the writing.
 The visiting speaker congratulated the class on it's rapidly increasing size and predicted great success for the movement in Montgomery.

Indeed, as we readily see from the lit- erature of the time. 1t had already be- gun to be quite generally believed that a pilgrimage to Jerusalem would blot
 out Isetty much every sin in the cal. endari The Crusaders were seeking
 the living among the dead.
 And their failure taught the church
 that however much we should rever-
 ence the place where the Lord lay"
 ence the place where the Lord lay,
 we should reverencs the Lord Him.
 self more; taught the church that not
 in war and bloodshed was the Prince
 of Peace to be served. but in deeds of
 selfsacrifice for others. in noble service
 to God and man, even as He is to be
 worshipped in spirit and in truth.
 And later on. you remember, the
 church fell into evil ways. It was giv-
 sn over largely to the worship of rel les, to the defyinR of saints. and to many forms of degrading superstition
 which paralyzed mans love of liberty
 and robbed him in great measure of his
 self respect and manhood. In word,
 the church was herself seeking the
 living among the dead. And that great
 reformation of the Sixteenth Century,
 which did much harm as well as good, to be sure but on the whole dia snore good than harm. helped the church to cut herself loose from the dead forms to which she was clfnging and which were dragging her down; helped her to realize that truth Is mightier than any mode which man invents to ex- press it; helped her to see that the church exists for mankind and not to be the mistress of the world, but the servant of the world, that the no- blest thing In life--as her Divine Lord Himself taught at the institution of the Last Supper--is not to rule. but to serve.
 Let us beware lest we. men and brethren. fall into the same error of
 seeking the living among the dead. Let us not bury ourselves in the dead past. with it's sins and its sorrows It's fol- lies and its misfortunes. Rather. let
 us. by the grace of God. put them be-
 hind us. Let us look forward not
 backward. Let us realize that the liv- ing Christ is always by our side, ready to take us by the hand and lead us out of the dead past into the living pres ent, lead us into living service with Him, our living Lord. for the world ana all that helps to make the world right eous. So shall He fit us for those man | sions He has gone before to prepare for us, it us for that crown which fadeth not away eternal In the heav'

 She says:
 This gradual failure of sight alarm ed me and I naturally began a very earnest quest for the cause. About this time I was told that coffee pois- oninR sometimes took that form. ana while I didn't believe that coffee was the cause of my trouble. I concluded to quit 1t and see.

I have now used Pos tunn in place of coffee for about q months and my eyes are well. never paininR me or showing any weakness.
