How little he knew of the broad appli- cation that would be made of his view in distant days. Rev. AIr. Worcester likened life to Eapour in a cylinder pushing against resisting piston rod. spent it is true in thrusting the piston outwards but helping to do the worlds work What a force glory is, in world like this. Shall we say our life is a vapour because it is unresisting like the clouds? What is your life while it lasts? asked the speaker. What is the thing that really counts? Is it your business" Is 1t your occu- patton by which you are earning your living? Is your life pleasure, the thing we call good times? Is your life con- trolled al all by any purpose higher than death? Suppose your life is one of unselflsh loyalty, in which you pour out your love, does il count for noti1- inS then?
 In closing, Rev. MT. Worcester asked his congregation to put their lives in Gods power, who can make them mightier.
 After the singing of tine hymn Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus. the bepedic- tion was pronounced by Rev. MT. Cole man

LESSONS FROM THE CALL
 OF THE TELEPHONE.
Drawn by Rev. H. j. Wyckoff at Y.
 M. C. A. Meeting.

A comparison of the telephone call with the call of the church was made by Rev. Herbert J. Wyckoff, pastor of the Second Congregational church at the Mems meeting held in the '. NJ. c. A. building on Sunday afternoon. The service was opened by General Secretary Edwin Hill. All hymns sung at the meeting were written by Fanny J. Crosby, the wonderful hymn writer, who died at her home in Bridgeport several days ago. J. H. Ely, boys secretary, gave a very in teresting account of his visit. in com pany with several other gentlemen to Miss Crosby a year ago last October. MT. Hill then offered an earnest prayer and another of Fanny Crosby's hymns was sung.
 Rev. 3Ir. Wycloff was introduced by Secretary Hill. He said the usages of the telephone service call for i'm mediate response. When the telephone bell rings one has the feeling that it may be vital matter and hastens to answer. A telephone call cannot wait Tho speaker applied these things to other urgent calls that come into our life from some central source. The church bell ringing is a. call from God to get into communication with human souls and many times it is heard in differently. It is a strange thing that the church bell cannot do what the tel phone bell does.
 The meeting came to a. close with the singing of another hymn and Rev. MT. Wyczog pronounced the benedic- ton. The orchestra provided music during the meeting
 Next Sunday afternoon the men will be addressed by Evangelist Carrie '. Wilbur, daughter of Captain F.. w. Wilbur of the local Salvation Army.
