appropriate to the occasion. Four
hundred and twenty-six were present
at Sunday school and all other SER

ing sermon was American Men as
Home Builders" and the text was
taken from Isaiah 1919, THE father
to the children shall make known thy
truths" The family is the natural
corner stone of the nation and the
father should be the natural head OF
the house. The various conditions

many of the failures and shortcom-
ings of home life He then turned his
attention to the requirements of
good home and emphasized the neces-
sity for good reading as an uplifting
influence and indirectly a means OF
education in the home. A practical
religion was also enlarged upon as
being of vital Importance in home
life. The Father should be the COM
rade and companion of the child and
take an interest in his education and
training.

The evening sermon by DIR. Allen
was full of vital interest and was
again on the subject OF Manhood.
The text was taken from Psalms "a
What is Man that thou art mindful
OF Him or the Son OF Man that thou
yisitest Him." Man was created in
the beginning, little lower than the
angels and was given dominion over
everything. DR.. Allen rapidly traced
the growth and development OF man
in his material prosperity and indi-
Gated the distinction between the
worldly view OF life and the spiritual
ideals which lead out to the highest
thought and accomplishment. There
was large attendance and the dis
course made deep impression.
