splendid SERVICE
AT BROAD Street

The service last night at the Broat
Street Methodist church was one Of
the most successful meetings held
during the revival There was the
same large congregation that always
fills the house, and great interest was
manifested on the part of all. Owing
to the fact that the meeting will close
SO soon, Rev. Kelly changed his
theme and preached on 1.-THE Magnetic
Christ" The text was, "And I, if |
be lifted up from the earth, will draw
all men unto me-" John 12:32.)
Christ draws because he is the per-
feet example. True men want a per-
feet example in life, and in Jesus
Christ is found the Supreme Example.
Man is looking for a perfect charac-
ter, and when he reaches a perfect
character he will have reached Christ.
Men are like the perfect physical
man. But only as they observe the
ethics of the Man of Galilee" and
live pure clean life can they arrive
at the highest stage of perfection.
Men look for perfect machine, but
only in civilized countries that have
been enriched by the gospel Of Jesus,
dn nd
machinery.
Men look for perfection in intellect.
Where do we find the highest exam
pies? The answer is in those coun-
tries where is taught and practiced
the great teachings of the Master.
Christ draws with his great love.
Such a strong tender love is what the
world is craving, and in him is found
the supreme example.
The best way to lift Him up before
the world is by living His life every
day. We do not draw men by what
we profess, but by what we are.
There was deep conviction in the
audience. A large number gave the
preacher, their hands signifying their
intention to lift up Christ more fully
in their lives. A large number ex-
pressed desire to become Christians,
and for them special prayer was
made. Four were added to the
church.
The services tonight will be the last
of the meeting. The subject will be
us There Future Life, and Will We
Know Each Other There?" Quite a
number have expressed a desire to
hear this sermon. Be sure to go
early and get the full benefit of this
last service.

shall have wings, beautiful wings
some day." But we have them right
now. Our spirit is our wings, and II
we maintain a right spirit within us,
we can soar above any danger or ca
tastrophe. Realizing the possession
of our wings we can sing. And what
joy to go through life singing!
1t is one thing to be resigned; it
is another matter to be happy. One.
perhaps can become resigned to mis-
fortune, but it is better yet to get
such big, comprehensive view of
life and the external universe that we
can soar above misfortune. The little
annoyances that seem so big at the
time are forgotten in year. The
big ones will be forgotten in an eter-
nifty. And We belong to eternity.
We think we belong to this life and
this world But we belong to the
Forever. And the Forever is good.
All that seems evil will by that time
have passed away, which shows the
temporal power, the nothingness of
it. This realization we should get
now. This is our wings. If we realize
that the universe is an eternal good,
that we are part of this good, that
the existence here is but a phase of
1t, We can soar even though our spe-
cial little branch breaks. We do not
need to fall and lie bemoaning our
fate. Our world is within us. Henley
voices 1t in that ringing line, 81 am
captain of my soul"
And somehow or other, by laws we
do not yet understand, if this con-
seriousness of good is ours, good comes
to us. The branch does not break.
Believing in the good brings it into
our lives. Living in fear so binds and
hampers us that we bring upon our
selves that which we dread.
The world is beautiful. Life is
good. If we go about conscious of
spirit within us that can soar above
the ills that are of this world only
and mans making, they will lose all
power over us.

"This is a fine layout" said Brady,

'Is it?' asked the Englishman, very
seriously.
Mr.. Brady looked at him suspicious
ly. "If had this plant" said Brady,
'T'd save time by letting the elevator
stand still and move the building up

"Haw," said the Englishmanu, with
out cracking a smile.
An hour afterward he turned again
to Brady. "I say, Brady" said he,
"how could you move that building up
