walked in SOnship with God. That is
the charm. 1t is above our possibility,
but not above our ideal. He may try

good"
At First Baptist.
There was a large attendance at both
the morning and evening services at
the First Baptist church. In the morn
ing Rev. A. e. Peterson spoke on
Christ's League Of Service. This was
the third sermon in a series that is
being delivered in this church, the sub
JeCt being the Footprints Of Christ. He
spoke Of the league that was formed
by Christ and said that these men in
the league were to preach. 1t was
about the beginning of a preachers
league, and it wasn't made up of a
company Of seminary students, but a
company that was chosen by the
Savior Himself from all manner Of
walks Of life. The charge He gave
them was to preach as they went
along. Christ was to gain his throne,
not by force of arms, but by words
and loving acts. Jesus preached the
gospel of his kingdom and He perform
ed miracles, but He never founded His
kingdom upon these miracles, but upon
the eternal truths that He uttered. The
object of this league was a moral reVo-
luton, for He had looked deep into
the needs of the world-He heard the
worlds cry and He felt the worlds
pain, and he saw the worlds sin and
1t was to reCtify this that He preach
ed and taught. He wanted to effect a
cure. This was a human league, n
that n man could understand, and
SO the league has grown until 1t COW
eTs every country and is heard by
every tongue, and our symbol is the
cross.

his daily life, and he thought the boy
with the guidance of his parents should
