be found, FIVE short of the necessary
number. Later quorum was secuted.
a motion was made by MIR. Johnstone
that the Senate hereafter meet at II

"Whst we who now control the
Seuate," said Mr.. Some, 'may do about
changing the amendment later cannot be
determined now"
And everybody laughed.
Senator Stone said The amendment as
thrown together was the j,int work Of
democrsts aud iusurgent republicans.
"rhe regular republicans, he said,
'ac,ed under mental constraint 10 voting
| for 1t. There can be no question that the
regulars cspiiuIated on Friday, the

WHAT THE WORLD WANTS TO
KNOW.

There was a time when the church
had to preach her doctrines more
than today: We have largely fought
out and established our doctrinal
basis This is a day of practical APP
plicatlon. 1t is so in business; it is
so in society: ii is so in politics; il
is not the man who talks most; not
the man who makes the most show.
but the man who practices what he
breaches that the world wants today.
regardless of his family history, or
of his personal pedigree. Il is just
so with religion. | am u Baptist: |
believe with all my heart in our
Ideals. in our Baptist creed. | think
that is important. but hear me. the
world to whom | preach does not
care rap whether l am a Baptist
or not: the world does not care
whether | have had water poured on
my head or sprinkled on my head or
whether have been buried in it;
bur listen: this is what the world
does care about The world cares to
know whether or not | practice in
my life day by day those principles
in my creed which | preach on Sun
day The world does not care wheth-
er | say the Lords prayer every day
that we come together or not. but the
world does care to know whether or
not in my daily life act out the
principles of that prayer The world
cares to know the life that a man
lives, and so with reference to our
Nstimony as a church. The questions
t>the world wants to know about
man who belongs to the church is.
does he pay his debts? does he take
advantage of his brothers weakness
or ignorance in a trade or bargain?
Is he square and upright and honor
able and honest? This is the cry. and
there has not been stress enough laid
ON this and there isn't stress enough
laid on it today. We have been too
we'll satisfied with the mystical side
of religion. and not enough concerned
about the practical life. The world
cares about how we live. how we
serve; the world cares whether we
vote as We pray or not-Dr. Len G.
