FEAST OF PENTECOST
WILL BE OBSERVED
ShabOut is Held to Commemorate
Giving of Ten Command
ments to Moses.

The feast Of weeks or feast OF PEN
tecOst, i'm Hebrew, Shabout. will be
observed at Temple Bethel by the
orthodox Jews May 10 and 20.
ShabOut is additionally held to
commemorate the giving of the ten
commandments at Mt. Sinai, as de-
scribed in the Book of Exodus. An
other view of it's origin is that it was
in ancient days the occasion for bring
ing to the temple the sheaf of wheat.
The first fruits of the wheat har-
vest as il was called. Wheat harvest
"reminiscences distinctly appear in the
old custom of reading the book Of
Ruth in the synagOg at every recur-
renee of the feast.
Within the last seven or eight dec
AIDES the custom has grown up among
the liberal or Reform" Jews of hold
ing confirmation services on ShabOut.
Confirmation is a highly solemn and
impressive ceremony participated in
by bows and girls of thirteen or older
1t is an expression OF the child's will
ingness to love and TO seek after the
higher life. 1t is at the same time
devout recognition of the divine sig
nificance of parenthoOd. COnfirma-
ton exercises viii take place at the
temple Sunday May %. The follow
ing children will be confirmed: Celia
Burke. Elizabeth Rosenberg, Reva
Salinger. Irma Steinfield and Ruth
Marke.
Everybody is welcome TO these ser
vices barring children under twelve
and barring persons who arrive late.
The services will begin at % o'clock
precisely and there Is not admittance
after the service begins.

the theme of the evening sermon
preached last night 10y Rev. John ).
Burns. pastor OF the Trinity Presby-
terrain church in which he pointed out
the origin of the devil according to
the bible and the modern ideas OF tiie
origin of the devil
The origin of the idea OF the devil
according TO the Bible seems 20 have
developed from an indefinite spirit
10 n personal being who rules king
dom OF evil spirits. Evil spirits were
said to possess men and IN the time OF
Christ on the earth In person, 10 nave
heen driven out by Him.
THE devil and his legions is the
enemy OF God and promoter OF All
evil. because he causes men 20 op-
nose Gods Will and leads them TO
fenpt.tiou. Some men seem TO be the
decentralization of Christ. Himself the
devil opposes all movements tendlns
toward Righteousness and leads all
those movements for unrghteousneSs

movements are deep and tiendlsh. but

LIFE OF EN0CH Is
SUBJECT OF SERMON
Rev. T. J. Parsons Delivers Talk For
ChiIdren-ENample should
BE Followed.

a boy looking through a knot
hole in a fence can see all over the
baseball field. A person sitting in
railway car and looking through a
window two feet square can see
vast landscape" said Rev. T j. Par
sons, pastor OF the Quincy Street Bap-
fist church Sunday morning in his
sermon TO children especially on the
subject. "EnOch."
He divided his sermon into five
parts. beginning each thought with
a letter of the theme ne used. as fol-
lows. r stands for Enoch. He was
one Of the great men Of the past and
belongs in a class by himself. In
Washington there is a hall Of fame
where are kept statues Of famous peo-
pie. In the 18th chapter Of Hebrews
there is hall OF faith, and in the
fifth verse we find the name OF EnOch
and a record Of his deeds. Many
generations Of people have visited
that hall Of faith and admired this
noble character.
IN stands for Never Died. We read
Of only two people in the Bible that
never died and Enoch was one of
them. This world is full Of ceme-
teries and dying beds. II is only IFS
years since George Washington died,
and yet / doubt if there is a person
tAhAAb WHO ~ II saw the BIGdL pItSl-
dent. Enoch lived on the earth 365
years-a year Of wears. and then went
20 heaven without dying. He was also
the father of the man who lived the
longest lie on earth. We may have
10 die a physical death but none OF
the followers Of Jesus will ever die a
spiritual death
80 stands for Overcame Sin. Enoch
lived among wicked people. II is
hard to be good when so many are
bad 1t require less effort TO drift
with the current in the river than to
go against il. EnOch rowed against
the current all his life and overcame
sin because he loved God and lived
for Him.
&C stands for Church Type Enoch
walked with God instead of the world
because the friendship Of the world is
enmity against God The church is
made up of those who are faithful to
God
II stands for Home in Heaven. The
Bible tells US that just as EnOch was
taken alive 10 heaven. so the Lord
Jesus Christ is coming again to take
His dear followers TO be forever with
Him.

SIN IN YIELDING
NOT IN TEMPTATION
Many Things Make Their Appeal to
Mans Weaker Nature Says
Rev. j. .. MOsier.

1T is not sinful to be tempted but
the yielding of the person to tempta-
ton is sinful" was a statement of
Rev. John o. Mosier. pastor of Miz-
pah Evangelical church Sunday morn
ing in his sermon on THE Significance
of Temptation
Christ was tempted many times in
a way that would appeal to Him.
When the devil tempted Christ he did
il when Christ was hungry and he
said TO Christ, IF YOU be the Son of
God, command these stones to be
come bread This appealed to His
hunger and His power but he would
not yield TO satisfy the desire Of the
devil.
"Our temptations are not real un-
less they appeal TO US as Christs did,
something that is within US that we
might yield tod. our greatest tempta-
tons are the ones to be found in
amusements. the world is full of com
petition, our pride all appeal to us
The devil will give us that can be
found in these things If we Will recOg-
niZe his powers.
IF you Will but resist the devil he
Will flee from you and the angels will
minister unto you and YOU will find
greater joys and more satisfaction
through this resistance than in any
other way

WORKERS NEEDED
IN CHURCH TODAY
Slow Growth of Christianity is
Due to Lack of Effort on the
Part of the Public Says Rev.
w. H. FreShIey.

"The kingdom OF God has been
growing too slowly because of the lack
Of consecrated business sense to his
service. our talents, our business
sense. our influence. our best. belong
to the Master and no man has the
right 20 withhold from his service. ="
said Rev, w. H. Freshley, pastor of
the First Evangelical church, in mis-
sermon Sunday evening on the theme,
Follow Me: OF the Call of Christ
Matthew. in telling OF his CONVEX
sion. puts the story in this fashion:
Jesus saw a man as he passed by. The
mans name was Matthew. Jesus
said, follow Me, and he arose and fol-
lowed him. Matthew does not tell of
the banquet he prepared for his
friends and invited Jesus so his
friends might learn to know the Mas
ter also.
WHY did Jesus call Matthew?
Because Matthew needed Him. The
same is true of hundreds Of men and
women Of today. they have a soul
hunger and are longing for Christ.
Many are trying TO satisfy their
hunger with pleasures society, money,
but they will never be satisfied until
they do as Matthew did.
why did Jesus call Matthew? Be
cause He needed Matthew This man
had talents for business which if con-
secrated to his service Of the king
dom would be a great asset Matthew
was a publican, a sinner. but Jesus
needed him. Jesus saw him, a great
worker in the world. Men see the
sinner but Christ sees the man."

"CHRIST THE SHEPHERD"
SUBJECT OF SERMON
God Provides Special Means For Pro-
lection OF Man Says Rev.
III. B. HOstetter.

christianity is a personal relation
between man and his Maker" said
Rev. n Il. Hostetter, pastor of the
Westminster Presbyterian church
Sunday evening in his sermon on the
theme, Christ Our Good Shepherd"
"Our Savior and His work can well
be compared with that Of the shep-
herd of the days before Him. AS the
shepherd led his flocks of sheep so
does Christ lead his people and if they
refuse to stay under His guidance they
will be lost as the sheep that wander
ed away from the shepherd.
THE Master feeds His flOcks and
protects them from all harm if they
stay within the bounds given them
by Him. He does not deal with us
by numbers but each individually.
God provided special means for
the protection OF man, a place where
every human being might be kept
from harm and sin-the church. The
sheepfold for the shepherd, the place
where the sheep were put in time Of
danger and for shelter, is the shep-
herds equivalent for the church. The
sheep that did not get into the sheep
fold were often lost as the people of
today are that refuse Christ as their
helper"

MISSIONARY TELLS
OF WORK IN INDIA
Mrs. Florence Mason speaks at First
Baptist Church-Much Good
Accomplished.

Mrs. Florence nightingale Smith
Mason of New York who has spent
several years in the missionary fields
OF Tura Assam. India. gave an inter-
estin0 talk at the morning services on
sunday lt the First Baptist church in
which she told of her experiences in
that country.
She told the story of the founding
of the missions in that country 40
years aSO by two young men of this
country. when the people were what
are called head hunters" She said
the people lived in tribes at that time
and if one tribe or an individual be-
came angered at the members of any
other tribe they would steal up on
their opponents at night and cut their
heads OFF and take the heads back TO
their huts and hang them up around
the wall. believing they had done a
great act for the country.
These two young men worked with
the people for years until at present
there are 125 public schools which are
filled by young and old people. There
are Il churches through the country
with a mem bershi~ of 5000 people.
There are 10000 converts who have
not united with any church yet.
Interesting illustrations OF the
transformation of the heathens by the
influence of the gospel were told by
Mrs Mason.
Rev. Charles a Decker pastor of
the church, preached the evening SER
mon using as his topic. "Naslite. the
Undefiled.' which was a sermon es-
Decially for young women.
Special music was rendered as fol-
lows: "Rebuke Me Not" u. Buck;

RELIGION MUST
Be IN OUR HEARTS
Every Man Has 1t in Him to
Live a Pure and Holy Life,
Says Dr.. ]. L. Gardiner in
Sunday Sermon.

What 10 we mean by the kingdom
Of God We do not mean some hay
mysterious something. We mean sim
ply this-the rule OF God ia human
lives" said Rev. James J.. Gardiner.
u. D., pastor OF ST PauIs Methodist
church, Sunday morning In ME ser
mon on Facts Concerning the King
dom OF God"
Wherever God rules and reigns in
a human soul. there the kingdom is
established. Jesus Christ talked more
about and labored more for he es-
adjustment OF the kingdom than any
thing else The doctrine Of the king
dom as presented by Christ implies
at least two things. First, that il is
the purpose OF God that every man
live a righteous life. In spite of all
the sin and shame Of this world of
SHINING and sinful men and women.
the divine purpose is that every man
and woman live sOberly. righteously
and cody i'm this world.
The other thing implied by the
doctrine Is this-eVery man and Wom-
an is capable no matter what be his
or her hercdIty or environment Of liv-
ing a pure and holy life. Man is
made 10 do right and man by the
help OF Cod can and ought TO do right.
Why do we feel guilty when we have
done wrong? II Is because We are
capable of doing right and ought not
To have done wrong.
Man also bears a relation 20 Cod
Every man ought 10 have "A conscience
and hearty void OF onense toward
God As well as his fellows. Jesus
taught that unless our Righteousness
exceed the Righteousness of the scribes
and Pharisees we could not enter into
the kingdom OF God
The Righteousness of the Pharisees
and scribes consisted in outward re-
ligiOn Such Righteousness is not ac-
ceptable in the sight Of God. God
demands pure hearts as we'll as clean
hands. He demands "a relig ion of the
heart and not a religion Of mere ceTe-
mony. The essential thing about
righteousness is moral and ethical.
Outward religion is not enough. right
opinions about God and about Christ
are not enough but our hearts must
be right toward men and toward God.
Paul said. The kingdom of God is
not meat and drink-nOt something
outward. not mere ceremOny-but
Righteousness. peace and JOY in the
Holy Ghost"
