Let the young people speed up
the gaiety this winter. 1t will do
them no harm and will serve to
tighten the burdens of their labors
and studies. To a certain degree
young people are like young colts,
If they are lively and skittish they
have promise Of a useful career,
while if they are constantly kept in
subsection and treated as hot house
plants they will be just about as
virile and as useful when they grow
to maturity. And that brings out
the thought that the young people
are not the only ones who need
more life in order to produce the
best that is in them. We older
heads need it even more than they,
for we are growing older, and our
Joints need exercise, and our brains
are crying for relaxation, and ma
ture just naturally wants us to
shake off that spirit of lethergy and
brush the cobwebs from our vision.
The brightness Of social jolity
would put new life into us, too.
For nature, you know, is inexorible
in its demands.

EvANGELIsTIC CAMPAIGN

EN ANU NAbAiAlO
The three weeks' EvaDgelistic Cam
paign, with Rev. Fred ST. Clair of Berke-
ley, CAL, as evangelist, opened on the
Sabbath with three servces-morning,
afternoon and evening.
At the morning service, in a brief in
troductory address, the Evangelist asked
that his audience grant him the favor of
suspending judgment upon him for at
least week. At the end of that time.
he assured them that they might have
the privilege of expressing their opinion
of him and that perhaps he would tell
them what opinion he bad formed of
them.
His message for the morning was a
clear presentation of the fact that re-
vival in Morrisville must come, not from
the human, but from God. He also said
there we're three ways in which to hinder
the revival-by disbelieving God, by dis
obeying God, by being dishonest with
Grd.
In the afternoon an audience again
gathered and listened TO a heart-search-
lRg message from Pisa, 1923 "a.
In the evening, before the hour. an
nounced for opening, the church began
to fill and soon nearly every seat in the
house was taken. Mr.. st. Clair's theme
for the evening sermon was Confession
and Restitution" He held the close at
tention of his audience as he brought
them the truth, illustrating and enforcing
it by many Incidents which had come
under his personal observation in differ
enr parts of the country.
Not only was the congregation in
tensely interested in the preaching of
Mr. ST. CLAIR but his singing was much
appreciated. The solo sung at the morn
ing service was especially enjoyed by his
audience.
Bible readings will be given by the
Evangelist Tuesday. Wednesday, Thurs
DAY and Friday afternoons of each week.
A cordial invitation is given to all who
are interested in Bible study to attend.
These readings will commence at 2:15
and close promptly at $3.50.
The hour of service on Sabbath after
moons will be 2:30 instead of o'clock
as advertised. Services every evening
except Saturday at 1880.

A four-fold lesson was brought from

between the ''corn of wheat" and the
life of Christ, and applied to individual
experience. Which of these four is the
guide of your life-self destruction, self
qualification, self reservation or self dedi-
cationP That which briDgeth forth much
fruit is most highly pleasing to the Re
deener.
