DR.. Reid spoke from the text, Corin-
thians 81, IF any man be in Christ,
he is a preacher, old things have
passed away for the old things have
become new"
He chose as the topic of his sermon
the effect Of Christianity on the world
and referred TO the effect Of Christ in
various parts of the world.

pators and benefactors in history to
whom we owe a debt of gratitude. but

for nearly 1000 years has been touching
this world changing old sinners into
new saints" he said.

children. 1t was he who changed the
condition of children when he spoke

dition of childhood and wherever Chris

changed with the little ones

Addresses Mems Mass Meeting.
Dr. Reid occupied the pulpit again
in the afternoon, addressing the mems
mass meeting on the significance Of the
Laymen's movement.
"I want to say that the providences
of God are never accidental he oe-
cIared. I'VE seldom seq the signi6-
