REV HOLMES LECTURES
Tonight at the church the Rev. H.
| C. Holmes, new pastor of the Redlands
church, succeeding the Rev. F. w.
Emerson, now state secretary, lectured
on "a Challenge to the Nations" He
said, in part:
'The world is down and needs to get
up. Sinfulness is more than indiscre-
tion. The most discreet people 1 have
| ever known were as wise as owls and
as harmful as serpents. Churches are
| fourishing but so are saloons Mis-
sionaries are stunning, likewise as
sassins. Love is alert but lust is pant
ing hot on the track of the innocent.
| Imperative is the need of something
| to beat back the waves of destruction
rolling through society. Christ's was
the cosmopolitan character. His re-
| ligion meets the need of the whole
man. His challenge to us is to shake
off the black death of apathy, to re-
deem our creed in the conflict, to prove
our weapons temper against every
evil thing that aff1icts humanity"

sion and banquet tomorrow afternoon
