Yesterday Is golden.
Hope illumes the morrow,
Eyes are only holden

That from me are hidden.

Coming back unbidden.

Richer in its way
Than this open handed.

PAULINE ABILITY

In his sermon yesterday morning at

S. w. Traum emphasized the import
ance of adaptibility TO all conditions,
and cited as an example Pauls ability
TO get along with people.
'Adaptibility is behind all personal
service said the pastor There must
be respect for other peoples views, and
for other peoples conditions. The prin-
cipal OF adaptibility lies at the root
OF all evangelistic work. II applies TO
the problem of the church amid the
workingmen and it is the very kernel
OF the missionary problem.

FRIENDSHIP THEME
OF REDDICK'S TALK

"Friendship" was the theme taken
by John Reddick, delegate to the
Friends Yearly Meeting at the Second
Presbyterian church yesterday.
He used as the tenet for his sermon
the remark was made by Jesus: You
were my servants but | now call you
Friends"
Mr. Reddick explained that on this
statement, the society of Friends was
based.
Mr.. Reddick spoke of Robert Inger-
soil, whom he said was one OF the
greatest men of modern times.
Because the great man had no re-
1igion except Infidelism," said Mr..
Reddick, 1.-The friends of the family
could not solace his wife after he had
died, because, according to his belief,
his soul had ceased to exist"
Mr.. Reddick said one can be reli-
gious without losing the appreciation
of the practical side of life.

Sunday in Richmond Churches
By WARREN BECK
By WARREN BECK

spoke at the First English Lutheran
church on the value of prayer.
Prayer is the secret of power, and
the most effective means of service for
the Master" he said. When the
church devotes itself to prayer as ear
nestly as to other activities of service,
the Kingdom of God will come on
earth. By prayer we discover God and
what God intended us to be. We catch
his vision for the world by coming to
his presence in prayer. A life of pray
er is broad life. 1t is life of victory
in crisis. The Master gave himself
over to prayer in the great crises of
his life"
Prayer has the same power today
as always Nothing lies beyond the
reach of prayer except that which
lies beyond the reach of God. Boys
and girls, who wish for success, use
the power of prayer. 1t will mean sue
cess, power and service for your lives"
