tCODtinucd from Page Five)
 eighth verse of the fifteenth chapter of First Corinthians as follows
 Therefore. my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast unmoyable, always abound ing in the work of the Lord, for as much as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord"
 The statement of session in full follows
 The sermon at the South Highlands church yesterday was preached by the Rev R. F. Fry of Gadsden, who chose for his subject "The -Eminence of the Lord Jesus" the text being found in Pauls letter to the Galatians.
 Sermon by Rev. Frye
 We note in the first place. the life which Jesus lived with God before He came into the flesh to walk among men" said the minister. It Is beyond our con ception to understand the expression of the phrases which describe this pre-in- carnate pre-eminence. He is the first born of all creation. In Him all things consist. A picture of infinite glory. or. infinite majesty is painted for us with those phrases. He was pre-eminent in his life before he came into the flesh.
 ''The Son of Man came not to be min istered unto, but to minister. This de- scribes His pre-eminence in His family life in the days of His walk among men as a man.
 The Christian life as a programme is life of blessedness in the first place. In the second place. the Christian life as programme is life of mission. 'Ye are the salt of the earth: the light of the world; no man liveth unto himself or dieth unto himself
 We all have an influence for good or evil, His life is one of mission and purpose, of responsibility. In the third place, the Christian life as programme is life of absolute sincerity There must not only be the outward form, but the inward righteousness
 christ Jesus Is the only one who has ever fulfilled tho commandment of God with regard to every law and inward sin cerity and motive Who among us has ever seen the man or woman who has been free from anger, who is perfect? There is none righteous, no, not one The Lord Jesus was righteous. He alone of all men in the flesh was perfect. None other has equalled Him. or come near Him.
 "I have painted before you from the word of God 8 picture of absolute hope lessness for you and for me. But. friends the Joy of it is that l can pass on to present before you this morning the fact that the Lord Jesus was not only pre- eminent fin life: He was pre-eminent in death. He gave us His life as a ransom An, friends. the glory of it and the wonder of 1t. as it unfods to us. Jesus has given His perfect life as ransom for us to accept We only have to accent iL to be saved''
 The South Highlands church was about half filled at tho beginning of the service yesterday but many of those who had in- tended being present at Dr. Edmonds' services were turned away and visited his fc, mer church.

that tho men of yesterday have not bound me to any theory, but have left me their testimony of this great fact of our religion and the liberty to in- terpret 1t in the spiritual light of to- day.
 Divinity Is Central Theme
 As to the question of the divinity of Jesus. that Is the central theme of all our preaching. We would allow none to surpass us in our exaltation of Him as the Savior of the world and the Lord of His disciples. There is none other to whom we call the sinful to come in the penitence of faith--none other to whom we call the Christian to surrender his all. We do not ask for confession of belief about Him, but for confession of faith in Him. It is not primarily what we believe, but In whom we believe. 1t Is not the longest creed of Christendom that concerns us but the simplest and most compre- hensiye of all creeds that we profess. We believe that Jesus Is the Christ, tho Son of the living god. and to this confession, for which these is the full soriptLra1 warrant we would neither add Tor take away.
 "To us these facts, and not theories about them, are the fundamental truths of our religion, and we shall watch, as we do watch, with prayer ful interest and concern every step that Is taken by men of every faith toward that consummation for which Jesus prayed-the union of all those who believe in His name, that the world may believe that God has sent Him"

 the dramatic climax: ''rhe tragedy of the world Is the tragedy of sin"
 Chief Theme of Sermon
 The love of God that surpasseth all un- derstandng-the unreasoning and un- reasonable love which prompts the Mas ter to sustain the world even when the world is in the depths--that parental de- votion which expresses itself even when man Is so ''disreputable that he cannot look a good woman in the face." was the chief theme of the great sermon.
 God loves us,' said Dr. Edmonds, whether We sin or not. He loves us even when we cannot look a good wom- an in the face. It is an unreasonng and unreasonable love.
 A young man. having taken his bride. in part begins to appreciate the nature of the love of God. When the boy is bern, when the little bud shows up be- tween the two white roses. he declares that at first he did not know of the love of God. but that now he Is beginning in measure to understand. And later comes the baby girl. and the father begins to realize what really is the love of God.
 And when the children grow up the parents point to them with happy pride. Where is there manlier man than heY

 Ono day, however, the artist. wanderIne about the London Geological gardens, came upon his old model with a broom In his hand looking very disconsolate.
 "Halloa. Smith," said he; you don't look very cherry. What are you doing now?"

Compared to Wife,s Devotion

the art of the man kept his people at his feet as If they were children again, and the story was one of tho nursery classics which have never lost their power to hold
 But as if there was stil a nearer pos- s.ble conception of the love of God, pr. Edmonds spoke of the devotion of a de- voted wife. It might have been trus story as it is a. common story. The man drinks. He is soon careless. almost in- different. His clientele deserts .'The town reelss with the plight. tho degeneration of the man." pr. Edmonds continued The woman hears and trem- bles. She cares no more to appear among her friends. She suffers under tho pang Of poverty, under the more poignant pain of humiliation
 But the wife so the story was told, with constantly renewed strength. goes about her task of redemption She re- sists the opportunities of her friends--of her her psrsnts-that ssn she desert ths with him until death us do part And then one night she bends over the fallen as he lies asleep in the gutter. tear arouses him from hts drunken sleep. In a flash he seems to realize and for the first time to hate his thirst.
 Own Joy Great
 As if the story was actually out of life, Dr. Edmonds. by light infection of his voice, impressed the congregation that in the redemption his own joy was as great as that of the wire
 Tfere was distinct note of gladness, of music or sunshine or laughter, iu his voice. The congregation shared with him the sublime satisfaction. The eyes that had been wet were sparkling with a sense of Joy. and about the lips. which had been drawn. were tender smiles of happiness.
 And such, In a measure the pastor concluded. "is the love of God which prompted Him to give His only begotten Son that whosoever beliaveth in him should not perish, but have everlastinx life"

Heat a Menace to

People Of advancing years should
be very careful of their health during

realize that these are the hardest
months of the year for them
1t is most important to the mainte-

to avoid constipation with its accom-

blood congestion. This can be best
accomplished by the timely use Of
a gentle laxative, such as Dr. Cald-

SPOKANE BURGLAR GETS
AWAY BUT RECAPTURED

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Aug t.
Harry Hunter, Spokane burglar,
made a flying leap for liberty
through an open car window Of a
moving train near Prescott and
three hours later he was taken to
the state penitentiary securely held
by a country town marshal and lock-
ed up.
Just after the train left Prescott,
its last stop before the pause to let
prisoners allght at the foot Of tho
prison hill, Hunter took advantage
of the momentary absence OF Guard
Crosno to slip the handcuff which
bound him to another prisoner ana
took a header through the window.
Crosno saw him and ran to the end
of the car, emptylng his revolver at
him. Hunter later was taken, by
Marshal Pray of Prescott.

MoLLYCoDDLES

~ ROOSE EVELT recently
VI. gave strenuous voice to
his belief that America,
in carrying out a policy of
peace. is developing nation
of mollycoddles. In contrast to
this utterance is a statement
made by DR.. David Starr Jor-
dan before the National Con-
ference of Race Betterment.
"War makes mollycoddles, "
he said. "Men who are left
after a wasting war are too
weak in personality to think or
act"
Between the two views there
is wide divergence but the logic
seems to be all on the side Of
the Stanford educator. There
can be no question but that a
nation in war sacrifices the
flower of her manhood. The
army in action demands the
men who are most fit and,
when hostilities end, the toll
taken from this class is appall-
ing. The colossal task of
building up the country anew
is left to the weak.
Roosevelt did not back his
statement with argument be-
yond intimating that any man
who is not willing to fight on
the slightest provocation is
weakened" and "sissified. )"
Such a conception belongs to
the age when man was still a
savage. 1t is an indictment of
civilization, for all of civiliza-
tons processes tend to remove
man farther and farther from
the savage and the animal.
The highest product of civil
lization is the temperate, mod
crate, deliberate man, the man
who exercises his intellect and
who loves the pursuits of peace
so much that he is willing to
fight to preserve them when his
Judgment tells him that he has
exhausted all other means that
comport with dignity. Such a
man, when aroused, is to be
feared.
It is such a man that the Am
erican policy tends to develop
and he is anything but a mol
lycoddle.

nual imitation. The claim OF
that town to originality in any
