INTERESTING SERMON.
Second in Series at Unitarian Church
BY Rev. A. V. White, .. D. 4

The second of the sermon series to be
delivered at the Unitarian church was
delivered last night by Rev. Andrew
Vernon White. d. d., minister of Har-
ward church. Brookline. Doctor Yer
non is an interesting speaker of great
depth and clearness. He took his text
from Luke iv:14. He said in part:
The words of Jesus showed that
prophet was without honor in his own
country and that men of genius are
frequently misunderstood. Jesus
might have recanted when he was in
a hard place, but he never turned to
excuses. neither did he stir up strife,
but che went on his way" Jesus was
a coura geous moral man and the great
est religious leader of the world. not
because he sought notoriety. but be-
cause not even the oracles of God could
turn him aside. He set aside the
oracles of the Father. not because he
disbeieved the principals of the teach
ings. but because he believed them
temporary. He went through the
midst of the Jews and the Gentiles
trusting in the truth alone. When we
have the courage to tie ourselves to
the teachings and morals of Jesus we
shall go His way

Cultivate Health.

And all this preamble leads to this
advice above all things, cultivate
health
If you have to choose between a
dance in a close, overheated room and
late hours, and a good walk in the
brisk air and sensible hours, choose the
latter. for the sake of your health and
YOUR complexion.
Don't think that you are being urged
to give up all dances, as dancing In
season is good, healthy exercise.
But some OF you go to three or four
dances a week through the winter sea-
son. and no working girl can do that
and keep her health
If you We're only going to live
through the dancing age, one would saw
go ahead. Dance every night; use al,
your vitality in that exercise"
But most of you will live long lives
OF usefulness. and the best part Of life
comes after the dancing age--the time
when you will be wives and mothers.

So, you see, dears, the most import
ant thing for you to do is to keep
yourselves healthy
