Reason They're Hard To Get Along
With, Says Pastor stearley, Who
Proceeds To Draw Moral.

Among the most difficult people
In the world to get along with are
church organists and house servants,
said the Rev, w. II. Stearley. OF Phil
adelphia. in opening mis- talk IN the
MONDAY Lenten services, Wednesday,
, in the Detroit opera house.
II is not because they are more
irasclble than other folk. but more
ideal. the speaker continued. They
expect the ideal TO exist under all
circumstances. ID Is hard for them
To make the best OF the materials
and the conditions at hand. II we
look to Jesus for example In this
matter. we will find that in addition
to his resourcefulness about which
we talked Tuesday, he had the facul'
~ OF always being able TO rise above
circumstances and TO make the best
OF things as they were. One day, at
ter we have travelled the road from
the manger to Calvary and on to- the
throne OF God We may expect 10 be
asked. Have you made the best or
what you had?' With Gods light
within us the most sordid. humdrum
and tedious tasks become pleasant
duties. We must learn to see the
divine In the human; to see beyond
the rain, the bringing into life OF
the daffodlls and the yiolets. One
must have something OF the poet IN
him to look at life In this way but
IL we will only allow the spark OF
the divine, within every one OF MS TO
kindle, we will find we have aston
ishingly poetic natures. do not ask
you TO be sentimentalist Senti-
ment has little part In this rough,
hard world but Il lies within our
power TO tighten our own and others
burdens BY making the very best OF
our circumstances other words,
master circumstances and not allow
circumstances TO master us.
1T is natural for the shop-girl to
wish herself In the shoes of the rich
. and fashionable lady upon whom she
waits over the counter; for the poor
parson TO wish he might be in the
pulpit of the successful minister OF a
large and wealthy church. II Is hui
man nature TO wish TO be something
other than We are. But. we must
strive to see the spiritual in the ma
terial. must looE beyond the outward
shell Perhaps. II the shop-giri sud
denly became the rich customer,
would find oftener than not the
ter's head did not rest on roses,
: Throughout His life Jesus was hum
BILE, OF cheerful spirit and with a
determination TO make the best OF
every situation IN which lie found
himself We must live BY word OF
God as well as by bread"
Another large audience crowded
the theater and listened attentively TO
DR. Stearley, whose message is couch
ed in simple language and spoken with
quiet sincerity. DR. Stearley will
preach, Wednesday evening. in St.
Paul's cathedral.
{, That the simultaneous evangelistic
campaign" now being carried on in
Detroit Ia productive Of results is
shown in the statement from the Rev.
Charles l.. Herald, OF oxford. o.. that
his labors I'm the Bethany Presbyter-
ian, church have been rewarded with
a large number of conversions. In
N revival series, which began Tues
day evening, in the Advent Christian
Gospel Tabernacle under Evangelist
Sweet, of New York, seven persons
professed conversion. The special
series OF meetings. announced for Mar
that H,.lmes Methods church, begin.
wednesday evening, under the leader

Fwaukee, whose efforts In the Taber-
nacle Methodist church. the past fort
night, were highly successful.
