GREAT ESSENTIAL TO ENDEAvOR

The need Of the element Of faith in order
TO win the battle OF life was the funda-
mental thought Of the forceful address de-
AilVered Sunday afternoon at the Young
YMen's Christian association mems meeting
by Franklin Pierce Jolly. the well known
lecturer of Joliet. III. Mr.. Jolly was greeted
by a large audience and his address proved
most inspiring. His description OF the
Grand Canyon was most eloquent and was
a veritable word picture.
How 20 wiz the Battle Of Life was
Mr.. Jolly's subject, and he said in part:
The faith element is absolutely essential
II a man expects to make a success In this
life. Faith is the supplement of the senses
If one man IL distinguished above other
men for Comprehension Of view and clear
ness Of thought II is due to the element
OF faith which he possesses. The element
OF faith enters strongly into education.
What man has done in the past man can
do again. with this element Of faith a
men can accomplish almost anything that
he starts out to. Without II he will be a
dismal failure.
The woods are full of politicians, but
statesmen arc rare, If a man is ambitious
TO be a politician all that he needs is to
\ have a good waistband. But II he Is ambi-
: tious to be a statesman II is necessary
that he have a good Maitland, with un-
SELFISH pdt poses back OF every undertaking
THE biggest job a man can undertake In
this world is to be good Why, Il is even
a big Job for a preacher to be good. Some
fail and their failure is due to the lack Of
that element of faith, The nation is as
great as its individuals, The hope of this
great country of ours is to throw aside
party Issues and vote for men. When I
say men use the term advisedly. l mean
you should vote for men of character, men
imbued with that element of faith which
is necessary to make them leaders among
men and not vote for the mere politician
because he happens to be affiliated with
the political party to which You owe or
think you owe allegiance.
TT is a great thing to be a mar in the
full sense of the word. A straight look In
the eyes Of a pure man is worth more than
a corner lot in the best part of the city
OF Omaha, Chicago or New York. And
tAsn, what is also true, a straight look in
the eyes Of a pure woman is thunder and
lightning that burns to ashes the sins and
iniquitiea OF man
In closing the speaker urged a better OBJ
servance of the Sabbath. In the early days
of this country under the Puritans the OBJ
servance of the Sabbath was too extreme
in its straightlacedness. but, unfortunately,
in the present day 1T has become too much
the other way. In fact, many fail to OBJ
serve the day at all. declared Mr.. Jolly. u
once heard T. Dewitt Talmage. that great
preacher. say In speaking of the lack OF
observance of the Sabbath day. The only
way to. know it was Sunday in Paris. that
gay city of the old world, was from the
fact tffdt sthefe was more doing in the
amusement and social way on the Sabbath
than on any other day in the week and
this is now only too true of many cities
In this great country of ours
1--WE ought to strike a happy medium
but under all circumstances let us not for,
get what the Sabbath day is and above al
things let us have a practical everyday
living"
Wednesday evening Mr.. Jolly will deliver
his lecture THE Happy Side of Life" a
the Young Mems Christian association
building.
