introduced by Miss Preston. DR.. Calkins,
who Is renowned as one of the country's
greatest orators delivered an eloquent
and inspiring address on the subject
Come and Suffer" He began by telling
of st. Pauls epistles to Timothy, sup
posedly written while ne was a prisoner
In Roman dungeon not telling Timothy
that the dangers were fewer and the
road less hard than that which Paul
had Travelled. but telling him that be-
cause of the dangers, the difficulty, and
the suffering. which was in the world,
Timothy should bear his share as a good
soldier OF Jesus Christ These words,
DR.. Calkins said are the only ones which
should be addressed to the young peo
pie of the church. and they should re-
spond readily to the call to come and
suffer, to take the hard things with the
rough and not TO attempt to have an
easy time and live life of luxury
The speaker also said that since the
life of a Christian day was haz-
ardous occupation, the bravest act
was to become a Christian and that
the rest of the struggle was to be ex-
pected as routine. He said that no
child Of God mentioned in the Bible
was also true to-day, but that with
the unparalleled example Of the hero
ism in the life Of Jesus Christ to spur
them on. the dangers and suffering OF
Christian work to-day should fire the
minds and hearts Of the young people
II their moral fibre Is not weak and
that Jesus appeals to men at their
best when he invites them to come out
| and suffer for Him. The world is
glutted with bright sympathetic and
amiable people who wiring their hands
and sigh in the face Of the unequaled
and collosal suffering in the world
to-day, but do nothing to alleviate II.
These terrible conditions, however,
should make profounder appeal to
| our young people who have each his
share of the suffering to carry and
they should each be ready to do the
work. DIR. Calkins mentioned three
| ways in which the work OF the mis-
sionaries in reducing the amount Of
suffering in the world could BIO aided :
! first by feeling tho suffering, soaring
| II into hearts and souls, and then
asking in prayer for it's relief: second
by gifts to assist In the work. the
average weekly gift of Congregational
members to foreign missions being
about three cents weekly; and third,
by enlsting for work in the foreign
missionary service. The need for
these workers Is greater to-day than
ever before, and while Jesus offers
nothing but danger and death in His
service. all true soldiers should be
eager and willing to follow Him.
The closing hymn, I'm the Cross Of
Christ I Glory" was then sung. after
which DR.. Calkins pronounced the
closing prayer and benediction and the
meeting adjourned.
