A PROGRAMME OF LIFE
FOR ONE CHURCH
Sermon by Rev. P. C. Wright at Cen
trail Baptist Church.

Before large congregation on Sun
day morning at the Central Baptist
church, the pastor, Rev. P. c. Wright,
preached a sermon of notable poWe
and eloquence upon the them A Pro-
gramme of Life for Our Church. He
defined first its reason for being and
the basis upon which it rests, which
he said was not on scripture texts for
is foundation is deeper than that. Its
basis is not on scientific discovery,
for 1t is not a product of the suman
mind and it roots deeper than the in
tellect Nor does it rest on the person
of jesus, for it rests upon human need.
1t is the chursh of God, redeemed by
Christ, baptized by the Holy Spirit.
standing in grace, because it ministers
to those supreme necessities which
God implanted in man. No other in
stitution, no other relationship no
other ideal will meet those needs in
the human life which the church salts
fes. We may be deaf to the church
cold towards it,. neglectful of it and
may forsake it, but only to impoverish.
weaken and lose our lives. This not
because man has any power in the
matter bat because our human necessi-
ties are met in the church of Jesus
Christ.
The programme of life then for our
church lies along the line of meeting
those human needs. We all have them
for quickening mans consciousness of
the presence of Almighty God Mans
life needs expansion; he should be
better not worse than the animals Yet
in heathenism it is the testimony of
DR.. Clark that the race degrades with
each generation.
But to quicken our consciousness OF
Him. God has supplied the church with
a revelation. This is why it is the
church of Jesus Christ, and Jesus
Christ has something rich for each
succeeding generation ana for each
individual Man needs to know God,
he has the faculties of the Sons OF
God, but he needs the revelation OF
Jesus to bring them out. The church
also supplies a need as a guide ano
guard of life Who is there that is
not profoundly impressed that he
needs shepherding? We need guiding
when assailed by doubt. We need the
horizon lifted and vistas revealed, to
open the window and let the mind see
God, to grasp the great theme of
The church furnishes us our widest
scope of activity and not only our
widest but our highest Activity. too
is the source Of joy and strength, and
the most needed service in American
life today is that which the church
alone can render. The church can
awaken men to consciousness of the
presence of God. to cause them to
see the sin which is abortive of every
principle of government, every public
and private Institution. and to every
life. The church can show men that
the fear of God is the beginning OF
wisdom and power This is the day
of the church's opportunity and ii
should live the active life.

Announced from Pulpit.

During the ringing of the fire alarms
on Sunday morning right in the middle
of church service time, Rev. f. S.
Worcester showed his appreciation of
the natural curiosity of his congrega-
ton by announcing from the pulpit the
location of each box struck in. In
explanation he mentioned that when a
boy he attended a shurch upon whose
bell the fire alarm was struck and he
remembered how much he would often
have given to know where the fire
was. and he supposed there might be
some in his congregation who felt the
same way.

Thompson Conn.,. who enlisted in the

and changed from one to another of

of ever seeing home again, he finally
secured his freedom and his return.
was an occasion of much rejoicing in
Thompson.
In early morning we watched for his
coming,
Ere the first beams of day
Chased the black night away;
Fearfully, tearfully,
Under the maple tree,
In early morning we watched for his
coming.
Heavy the mist. of the dim August
morning,
Chilly and clammy
1t rose from the valley;
sombre pail unfur1ed
Over PROSTATE world,
Filling our eyes with tears
Chilling our hearts with fears,
As in its depths we watched for his
coming. I,
Watched for his coming in mist and
darkness,
From deeper mystery,
Blacker captivity;
WedrlSOme DantSnment,
Sickness and languishment
Out of the depths of the foul southern
prison.
Gladly we clleered him forth on his
mission.
Sadly we mourned the much loved
physician,
Who when wars thunder stroke
First on the nation broke
fastened without delay
Into the fierce affray;
On Bull Runs fatal field
Stoutly disdafned to yield;
Quailed not when shot and shell
Ralsed his frail hospital,
Urging the men to die
Rather than weakly fly,
Till to captivity
Borne by the enemy.
Dragged in derision
From prison to prison.
While anxious friends in vain
Sought his release to gain;
Urging the president
With fruitless argument,
Still interceding,
Earnestly pleading,
From summer to winter,
From winter to summer,
Till on this August morn
Rumors of his return
Fell upon doubling ears,
Hopes were DER borne by fears
The shuddering chillness,
The gloom and the grimness,
We watched for his coming.
Never sound was heard,
Never word spoken,
Silence and darkness reigned,
Mute and unbrOken.
Till from the vale. pale
Floated the moaning wall,
Now sinking soft and slow
Like summer breezes low,
Until the straining ear
Scarcely sigh could hear.
Then whistles loud and shrill
Echo from hill to hill,
Quinebaug's valley thrill
As from the outward main
Thunders the lightning train
We hear the warning bell
Its near approach foreteH.
With clamorous sally
1t wakens the valley
Pauses-perchance to bring
Home the long wandering.
A moments delay.
Then speeds far away.
Now through the lessening mist
Lanterns are cleaning
| Adown the village street
Dark forms are stealing.
Friends kindred, neigh1ors, together
Waiting the tidings to come from the
valley.

Striving in each to trace

A Strong Protest Against the
Town Jail

Editor Clarion: On last Satur-
day night the writer's attention
was called to the fact that two
white women had been placed in
what is called the town Jail just
across from the market on the
west side, and that the place was
unfit for a human being to live,
and requested me to investigate.
I did not know who the women
were, nor did 7 know their
names, but wanted to know
whether or not such a statement
could be true. On my arrival
there, Mr.. Editor, I found the
place in such a filthy condition
that it would turn the stomach
of a healthy man. The stink
that emanated from the room
was sickening and horrible, and
[ feel ashamed and mortified that
the town Of Opelousas should
have permitted these two unfor-
tunate beings to have remained
in a place four days and three
nights where my dog would
have been uncomfortable. Who
is responsible for this, Mr.. Editor?
Did not the judge know when
sentence was passed that the
prisoners were to be taken to a
dungeon worse than the Bastile?
I understand that the arrest
was justifiable and that the
women were living in a neighbor-
hood in which they had no right
but I do not think the judge had
a right to send them to a place
where only sickness and death
could result.
I will add that on Satur-
