EVANGELIST URGES
PEOPLE TO Do BEST

Excerpts from the sermon by Evan.
gelist Sayres at the East Main Street
Friends church are as follows:
She hath done what she could, or
according to the boys version-"She
did her best"
Our best is not to be measured by
some cne's else best, but If it is our
best, God sees it and gives u credit.
We must be at our best all the
time and every where.
We must be at our best for the
sake Of the rest.
There is no such thing as standing
still: when we try to stand still we go
backwards.
We never make the same goal of
the day before, it is better or worse
than yesterday.
We car't get a man to Heaven until
we get Heaven in him, and then all
the way to Heaven Is Heaven.
If go wrong it is no ones fault
but our own. We must see our faults
and then have them removed-elim-
mated. Some people seem to have
lost their eliminatOr No ono can get
to Heaven on the good reputation of
their parents. it depends entirely upon
ourselves whether we are saved and
there is only one way. through our
Saviour-Jesus Christ.
God always raises our best to a bet
ter best. Our lives are just as We
please tonight, just as good or bad
as we want them to be.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-Following the
departure today Of the French pre-

leagues. who took part in the allied
war council yesterday, It was learned
that France has not yet fully endorsed
the plans Of England to tighten the
blockade Of Germany because of the
deleterious effect 1t would have upon
United States commerce.
The situation in Sweden. where anti
British fe, '1g has crystallized into ac-
tive measures Of reprisal was also
thoroughly discussed. Sweden has not
yet released the great quantity of
British mail matter that was seized in
retaliation for the seizure of Swedish
shipments by England.
The British government Is deter
I, ined to cut off all shipments of mer.
chandise into Germany even II 1t has
to establish q blockade of the ports
OF Holland. Denmark and Sweden.
As the situation stands now, the
Greek waters filled with English and
French warships and the Greek nation
filled with Anglo-French troops, the
fears Of Greece's entry into the war
on the side Of German have been re-
duced to a minimum.
