hearers and held their close attention with his presentation of his subject, The Average Man. He said in part:
 It is the average man upon which the world rests and who rnawes the world move. As he does his duty to- wards the state we have good govern ment; as he recognizes his responsibil- ity to others the world progresses. But he may often think he does not count. When General Grant heard some one point him out as the man who won the civil war for the northern armies, he said: "I didn't do it, it was the men in the ranks And it is the man in the ranks, the average man, who wins every time. Jesus recognized the aver ave man, for in the company of the apostles. Jesus first called Andrew, an average man, but it was Andrew who called his brother Peter. It was Am drew again, who knew that boy had a few loaves of bread and fishes from which Jesus fed the thousands, and it was Andrew again who showed to the inquiring Greeks the way to find Jesus.
 Oh, the opportunities open to the av- craze man that are closed to the cap tain of industry! Jesus came from a family that put him in the ranks of the average men, and all we know about his early life make him one of these. He was subject to his parents, and grew in favor with God and men. Like him. the man who seeks to win favor with men must first win favor from God
 
 of Jesus, said the speaker, that he must have had that won for him favor with God and men. He must have been a perfect physical man. he thought first and last of his mother and had a true hearted father; his loyalty to his church and to the government is a lesson for men today, he was chivalric, and he possessed a divine self conf dence The last named came through the same divine strength which IS giv- en today to the man who goes on his knees to God. And with Gods help the average man can do anything. Let my life be such as to make life worth while for the other fellOw.'' was the closing sentence which ex-Governor hearers, for that is the ideal of Jesus Christ, and that is the help he prom ises to give you.
 Two selections, Nearer, My God, to Thee (Victor) and American Fantasie (Herbert) were played by the band after the address. and the benediction was pronounced by the Rev. MT. Rick cts
