Pastor Breaches on the Urgency oi Life--Joint Meeting at Parsonage.

The morning service, Sunday, was unusually interesting. The pastor spoke on The Urgency of Life', and said, When Jesus was here among men, the urgency and constaney witt which He pursued all His tasks as a living example for His brethen to fcI- low. Every man is member of so- ctety and if he refuses to comply with its requirements he becomes a par iah, an outcast. He is not only a member of the earthly family but also of the heavenly family, and if he would work out his personal salvation. it must be with fear and trembling.
 First, a man is to be a good citizen. Second, he is to be a good Christian, but he cannot be good Christian without being good citizen.
 A man who draws a distinction be- tween his political and religious con science, between what is right and what is expedient is dangerous to so- ciety and all true progress. A man Sould stick to his common tasks. When he puts himself outside his common task he puts himself outside happiness The standing prtce which God and na- !! ture has set upon every pleasure this side of heaven is that a man must | labor to achieve it.
