SUNDAY SERVICES IN
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
GREAT PREPARATIONS MADE FOR
CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL FRI.
DAY EVENING
(Communicated)

AT Sunday school there was a full
attendance. The Sunday school Christ
mas tree and exercises Friday even
ing at 1880 sharp, are absorbing topics
just now. 1t is to be hoped the par
ents and friends will turn out gener.
ously and help the little folks to have
good time.
Let us all remember the Great
Giver of Gifts, and His great gift to
men and so prompted by His spirit
let us give of our substance and OF
our selves to make glad those hearts
that would otherwise be sad
The morning congregation was
small. | wonder if 1t is a case OF
too much preparation for Christmas.
The sermon in the evening was
from the text Cast thy bread upon
the waters for thou shalt find it afte,
many days" The central thought OF
the sermon was that we should dc
good without hope of reward, but thai
in some way the reward will come.
The Christmas music by the choil
will be rendered next Sunday even
ing. Come out and enjoy treat.
1t seems like old times to see oul

talk of the evening, outlining his
hopes for the alumni association OF

He analysed the structure of a uni

man element, consisting OF its board
of regents, its faculty, its students.
and its alumni, and the material ele-
ment-its buildings and its facilities.
He showed that university could
exist without the material element.

alumni, there could be no results. That

the president emeritus of Harvard University

It's manufacturer -phanthropst, Henry

General of the Navy, who approves the Ford
theory. A heresy trial is in order.
After ALL maybe there's something good in
heresy The rich eat too much, we told.
The poor eat too little. Here is a clear case
Where the rich would lose nothing by giving
to the poor They'd lose only gout and dys-
pepsia and similar things that hardly add to
siithe pleasures of wealth
E The whole subject, however, is puzzling
For instance, we are told that eating too
much leads to drink-alcohollc drink. Yet
for long time we have heard that too little
to eat is the great cause of intemperance-
alcoholic.
Again. for instance, Henry Ford works best
on an empty stomach An army, it is said
marches on its stomach but, If possible. not
on an empty one. Now what's for the good
of the Industrial army?
Doubtless the overeatlng evil is principally
"a matter of how much and not how often

1t wasn't obvious long ago-that villa and
Carranza and the rest Of the gans-warriors
cannot compose their differences. Bitter enc
niles do indeed become bosom friends over
night, but over night they become bitter enc
mics again. The times are calling loudly
down in Mexico, for the great man who, as
Carlyle said, fails to appear even when the
times are calling their loudest.
In washington it IS common talk that the
President. IL Mexico is stili at war next
month, will act In a way that Will as
tonish the country on the north of the RIO
Grande-and the country on the south. Yet
already war has ceased in Mexico; 1t is not
war, though It might indeed be described by
Sherman's short but famous word.

turn over a new leaf is already dated. Evil

is "watchful waiting" now, but ''watchful

Whether it was the sun that mscalculated the

course, in the more northerly part of Alasn

Yesterday was the longest day of the year

Action on Transitl

MYTH all the enthusiasm Of the City Ad-
wv ministration behind it. Director Tay-
iors transit plan has forged ahead through
tthe INSTRUCTIONS and tricSeries of Councils
has received the Mayors approval and now
awaits only the prompt and favorable action
OF the Pennsylvania Public Service Commits
zion. OF such action, not only affirmative,
but immediate, there can be no doubt, The
need Is so great that not sizable element OF
.Philadelphia's life but feels it and responds
to it. The only emotion besides enthusiasm
so far evoked has been shame that the city
should have been held back long There
must be no more delay.
HtrAn accident of the calendar adds to the
necessity for prompt action on the part OF
the commission. Unless the hearing two
s.weelSs hence results In the prompt issue
of certificate of public convenience, work
cannot be started on September 1S, as now
-planned. And unless work is then begun, the
digging of the Broad street subway will not
have proceeded far enough by the time frost
comes as to be carried on below the surface
during the winter months.
Action is still the keynote to the success
of the transit plan,
