The Last Things: when evening
calls the glory from the gray" This
was the subject of DR.. F1ewelling's
fifth lecture on Bible teachings.
He considered that much of the con-
ception OF Last Things" was, even in II
this twentieth century, largely medie-

Jesus has three ways of presenting
His kingdom. first as coming sudden
ly. second as of slow growth. third as
spiritual and present, within human 1
hearts.
If we are now in the kingdom, it |

Afternoon Services.
The afternoon service Friday was
in three sections. First came an inter-
esting praise service in the auditorium
led by E W. Naftzger, in which he
introduced the very pleasing feature
of having some 80 children of Mrs
Reads meeting stand on stairs in front
who sang a special song taught them
by himself, gave a special scriptural
yell referring to 2 Timothy 2:15 and
Thess. 5:22.
This song service was followed by
an interesting address by Miss Jo-
sephine Ffske, superintendent of the
Providence Deaconness home. She al
so told Of the work throughout New
England.
The closing address of the afternoon
was made by the General Secretary of
the Epworth League. Rev Wilbur F.
Sheriden. D. D.. of Chicago.

ercises, though these are important in
their time, as upon their after fruits.
The emotionalism of the great reli-

and Moody has long since subsidized.

lowed in universities, schools, hospi-
tails, and men who who have lived
