PASTOR USES MORAL SHOWN
IN PLAY FOR SERMON TEXT.
The Rev. II. R. Rose breaches on
Good Fellowship.

The Rev. Henry r. Rose, OF the
Church of the Redeemer, based his SER
mon yesterday on the new morality
play, entitled 1.-THE Passing Of the Third
Floor Back. or Getting at the Best in
Others" He said in part"
This play shows how a man a get
good out of others, no matter how
wicked they seem to be, or how hostile
and unpromising the conditions. The
great secret of all h%elpfulness is the
personal touch. We must take a sim
cere interest in each individual and
brush him the right way. for everybody
has good somewhere In his heart.
People are not wicked because they are
evil by nature, but because they have
never had the good brought out, and
made dominant in their lives. The play
is an unassufning one but will do great
good.
1--WE, are all passers-by in life, and at
this Christmas season we should learn
anew the lesson hat often the simplest
gift we make and the least kind word
we speak win make the deepest and
finest impression on some life.
kind hearts are more than coro-
nets, and simple faith than Norman
blood"
