 Willis P. OdeH of BrookIine. Mass, was the preacher. His text was 8 phrase in Matthew 10; 39. For My Sake" These are the words of Jesus. The speaker opened with descrip- ton of the famous picture. Diana or Christ. The beautiful Christian young woman shows by her raDt gaze that for Christ's sake she gives up her friends, her lover and her life. Christian motive makes men make enterprises.

The church is the biggest institution on earth. The men with Christ in them are the people we admire rather than the bloody warriors of old. The audi ence followed closely the words of the eloquent speaker.

But they had not gone | far up the road of faith before they | ha of only one however. went back to thank Jesus. There. is more praying than praising in these days. Human in
