 The excellent sermon of Rev. J. K. Moore was from Isa. 55.6, 'sSeek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near.n These words of the ancient prophet are call to arouse our faith, and have a power all their own. Is God expected to be especially near to those who turn their backs on Him? Surely God is near when man is in need and He can be found. When ones need is most, spiritual remedies come from the very throne of God. Mans greatest needs are Gods opportunities to show His loving care. Closing with the dear old hymn, "Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing.n
 The meeting in the Hall on Monday evening was addressed by Hon. C. E. Searls, Mrs. Cook of Hartford and Miss Price of Ohio. Topic, Woman's s Suffrage. There was large and ap- preciative audience of those opposed to the idea. Some of the many reasons given were that we have been striving to help womankind to higher, hap pier, nobler life in this, as we'll as other countries, and until that great problem is solved we must guard and sustain God helping usD our God given and man given privileges and opportunities.
