OF our simple childhood faith we
learned at mothers knee Christ would
be a greater reality and greater
power with us. If we could only keep
his sweet face before us in manhood
as we did in childhood we would have
more of God and less of sin and UNI
belief. We close our eyes to the glory
of Christ to behold the glory Of get
rich quick schemes; we close our. ears
to his gentle voice: Follow me and I
will make you fishers Of men,. and
open them to the voice Ut gay world
that mocks simple faith"
In his closing remarks Mr.. Priest
urged men Of weak or lost faith to
go back to the Christ of childhood and
walk with him again, to commune
more with him and less with the evil
one, to feed more upon the word OF
God, which Is "the bread of life," and
less upon the scandal and filth from
evil minds
The subject of the discourse tonight
will be "The Remission of sins
There will also be special music. A
splendid chorus Is being organized.

POINTS way TO
BETTER LIVES
REV. EDWIN PRIEST GAVE a
FoRCEFuL SERMON LAST :
NIGHT; MCDONALD SANG

1--WE close our eyes to the glory Of
Christ to behold the glory of get rich
quick schemes; we close our ears to
his gentle voice., follow me and will
make you fishers of men,, and open
them to the voice of a gay world that
mocks simple faith" declared Rev.
Edwin S. Priest, pastor Of the First
Christian church last night in his SER
mon at the interesting revival in SEES
sion at the church. The services con-
tinue with renewed interest. Mr.. Nc
Donald sang solo last night that was
well received. and the subject of the
sermon, Keeping the Faith, was
handled in forceful manner by the
pastor. In introducing his subject, Mr..
Priest said:
1T is easy to 60 the way of the
world, to do the things that others do
and to say the things others say, but
the real test is to do what is right,
though we are called to stand alone. 1t
Is easier to be Christian while we
are in strong Christian atmosphere,
but very hard to be in the world but
not of the world. The real value of
faith in Christ is determined by the
price we must pay for 1t. Many people
lose their faith because they are led
to believe that religion Is matter OF
getting rather than doing.
Nobody understands weak or
broken faith better than Christ. His
early disciples were both weak and
faithless. Jesus was constantly striv-
ing to aid them in building working
faith, and when they failed nobody
was more compassionate than Christ.
THE first message OF the risen
Christ was to men who had lost their
faith. He said, Go tell my brethren
that they 60 before me into Galilee
and there shall see me- They had left
all and followed him and when they
saw his lifeless body laid in tomb,
sealed and guarded by the Roman gov.
eminent, they displayed a lost faith
by saying. We had hoped that this
was he who should have restored
Israel
"And when he did meet them again
he did not mention the betrayal or
denial. He wanted to get them away
from Jerusalem and it's wretched and
trying environment back into their
boyhood home where they had first
beheld the lamb Of God, who taketh
away the sins OF the world and left
all and followed him The jdstle and
deceit OF cruel world tends to
weaken our faith in him who is to re-
store our Israel to God.
There IN Galilee these disciples not
only found themselves but they found
a greater and more triumphant Christ
than they had lost in Jerusalem. II we
could all live more in the surrounding

Constantinople, Dec 20.-The
Turkish flagship Kheyrh- Ed-Din-
Barbarossa, which, according to re-
ports from Athens. was practically
destroyed in a recent fight off the
Dardanelles. was presented today by
the sultan with the historic flag that
was flown by the battleship Mahmu-
dieb at the bombardment of Sebasto-
pol in 1854 The sultan congratu-
lated the captain OF the flagship and
the rest of the Turkish navy.
The flagship was struck by two of
the Greek shells, but the damage was
insignificant. During the battle the
commanders of the Turkish and the
Greek fleets exchanged pleasantries
by wireless. The Greek admiral tel
egraphed: I'VE have occupied the is
land of Tenedos and await your or
ders." The Turkish admiral replied:
Your shells are falling wide. I'd
recommend that you take better aim"

Joseph Cobb and Paul ii. Jones, both

county Jail al Golden, near Denver.
on serious charge. They are ac-
cused of highway robbery. Chief of
Police O'Ncill is not satisfied with
the statement they make as to who
they are. and has written the chief
of police of New York for informa-
tion and an Investigation of all three
prisoners. Chief O'Neill suspects that
they have been members of the gang
of New York gunmen who figured
in the trial of Lieutenant Becker of
the New York police department.
The three youths arrived in DEN
yer one day last week, and at the
point of a revolver forced a chauffeur
to drive them up into the Platte
canon, where they robbed him OF
Sc They were arrested at Fairplay
up In the mountains and brought to
Golden and jailed.
To Chief O'Neill all three youth de-
MED they intended committing a
crime. but merely wanted to have a
little fun at the expense of the
chauffeur.
When asked by Chief O'Neill if
they were not members OF the New
York gang, Cobb. who seems to be
the spokesman for the three, said
That Is for us to know and you to
find out" Taking them at their
word the chief is proceeding to learn
definitely Just who the boys are They
will be kept confined In the Jefferson
county jail until their records in
brooklyn and New York have been
thoroughly investigated.
