Both bad and good are to enter

Suggestions.
II Is not enough to give, we must
go; to the antipodes of society, II not
of the globe.
Young people cannot expect to con-
vert their elders, but they make the
best possible winners of their contem-
poraries.
The reason why SO few elderly peo-
pie find soul-winning easy is because
they were not trained to It.
Missionary zeal is based on knowl
edge, on mission-study, and mission
ary meetings made to shine.
Illustrations.
Children learn languages easier
than men; so they learn more easily
the language Of heaven.
Look upon modern army and 1t
seems made up of boys. Let tho
army OF the Lord also wear a youth
full air.
lfMormons see one of their number
losing faith, they make a missionary
of him; and In this they are wise.

Christ,s Power to Forgive Sins.

Il
"The Son of Man hath power on
earth to forgive sins" There is
familiar legend which relates that
there once stood in an old baronial
castle a musical instrument upon
which nobody could play It was
complicated in its mechanism, and
during years OF disuse the dust had
gathered and clogged 1t, while damp
ness and variations of temperature
had robbed the strings of their tone.
Various experts had tried to repair 1t.
but without success, and when the
hand of a player swept over the
chords 1t awoke only harsh dIscords
ald unlovely sounds. But there came
one day to the castle a man OF anoth-
er sort. He was the maker of the in
strument, and saw what was needed
for Its repair. and with loving care
and special skill he freed the wires
from the encumbering dust and ad-
justed those that were awry and
brought the jangling strings into
tune, and then the hall resounded
with the strains of the most exquisite
music.
1t is but legend, but the mean
ing is plain. These souls of ours are
harps that hang dust-covered and dis
cordant. disordered by sin, while yet
the Masters hands have not found
them. Everything is in confusion
and at cross purposes. 1t is only
when, and not until, their Divine
Maker comes and undertakes the task
of repair and readjustment than they
can be set right and made capable of
the harmonies for which they were
originally created. Men weary them
selves in vain with their various ex-
pedients for securing peace of mind
and the sense of freedom from guilt.
Only Christ, our Divine Maker and
Master, can repair the disordered in
strument He, and He alone, has
power on earth to forgive sins.-Rev.

THE NOONTIDE HOUR.
THE Fulton Street Prayer Meeting, New

1.-THE Fulton Street Prayer Meeting. New
There was prayer in the early morning,
Ere they went on their toilsome way,
And prayer in the quiet evening
At the close of the weary day.
But whnt of the busy noontide,
When the whirl and the rush were ons
What time was there thot man could
To commune with the Holy Oneg
And yet there wns need incessant,
For hearts that would gladly seek
For strength TO bear life's toll and care,
OFT found they were growing weak.
But one who was toiling for others.
Whose life was o'erfowing with care,
Had faith TO try, as the days passed by,
The balm of the noontide prayer
AS they gathered there in that quiet room,
What an uplift came TO all
The Master was near in that atmosphere
And the blessing seemed to fall.
They sought for the needed strength TO
bear,
And they sought it not in vain.
Oh, there was power in that noontide
hour,
To help in the fearful strain.
And messages came from all over the land,
Asking prayer for the wandering ones.
"Oh, pray for our daughters gone astray."
"Oh, pray for our wayward sons"
And the Father who hears the prayer Of
faith
Has honored His children well;
And the answers to prayer that were
given there,
Eternity only will tell.
Oh, who can count the Joys that have
come
In the fftv years now flown
The strength that was given, the fore
tastes Of Heaven.
In that noontide hour alone?
And who can measure the rower for good
Or the influence pure and sweet.
OF the voice of PRAYER that has risen there
In the heart Of that busy street?

In those days the G. H. Hammond Co.,
generally known as the Slaughter

there passed around the Central block
corner, the proeprty was at that time
considered the most valuable in the
city.

UNIQUE MUSICAL CORPS
Hammond Male Chorus Will
Not Give Any Minis
trel Shows.

It may not be a matter Of common
knowledge that Hammond is the pos
SCISSOR of an institution that is unique.
The Hammond male chorus has been
in existence now for little over three
years and during that time it has CIV
en- FIVE concerts. Although a great deal
of outside pressure has been brought
to bear asking the chorus to truckle
to the element that wants comedy. with
its music, it has never lowered the
standard of it's concerts and resorted
to the minstrel field.
It has always given the best music
in the best manner possible and it's
programs have always been made up
of musically worthy and dignifed num-
bers. Its object having been to edu-
cate the people to an appreciation Of
that kind of music.
Now here is the interesting thing.
Taking our neighboring cities of South
Bend, Michigan City. Laporte, Laf-
ayette and Fort Wayne, only the lat
ter has any musical organization of a
similar class. South Bend has had
some such institutions in the past, but
they could not weather the storms and
have been allowed to die. That the
Hammond Male Chorus has prospered
SO far speaks well for the musical ap-
probation of the Hammond people.
Any music lovers who has a favor
ite piece of male chorus music he
wants to hear, whether it has been
sung by the chorus at any previous
concert or not, should send in his re-
quest and the numbers receiving tho
most requests will be given
