receive it personally. He spoke as
man to man as brother to brother and
las one in Christ to another In Christ.
HE did not speak Of what this and that
Ivice had done for the country nor OF
what the social evil was doing to the
country today but told only of what

labor, legislation. intemperance, social
leyils. and the church. The problems
Iof the day are how to meet the COM
p,ex demands of this age. How we
can have power as citizens to best
reach this demand. There is a su.
preme need for the solution of the
problem and that Is new man.

God gave his promise to the world
through his son and the two symbols
we're united into one, as a six pointed
star which was an outward symbol OF
al inward spiritual change. The whole
mystery OF Christianity Is found in God
giving his sons life for men. God.in
Christ gives forgiveness; gives the
equivalent OF life of all men dead under
sin. No one but God alone can do this.
He and he alone Is big enough to give
