A FAREWELL SERMON

Seventy-five people gathered at the
Cleland Presbyterian church last ev-
ening at farewell service conducted
by W. S. Carpenter, who took as his
theme, Claiming the Goal" Mr.. Car
penter is a student at the Mccormick
Theological seminary in Chicago. He
took up his work at what was for
merly the Aiken street chapel, last
June, when everything was at stand
still. He started out by working
among the young people, forming two
strong organizations in the Young
Ladies' and Young Mems classes,
which have a membership of 20 in
each club. He also organized base
ball, tennis and basketball teams for
each club, and also gave many social
affairs which were successfully car
ried on, the clubs assisting in all the
undertakings. Mr.. Carpenter made a
splendid impression during his brief
stay in the city and the friends he
made greatly regret that his studies
prevented him from continuing in the
work.

social aspect OF christianity and the
need of its emphasis"
Convincing Speaker.
A large audience heard Rev. Schaad
both in the morning and in the even
ing. At the latter service, following
the singing OF familiar hymns under
the leadership Of A. J. Lindstrom. and
the QUESTIONABLE feature in which the
missioner answered queries relative tC
religious themes, Rev. Mr.. Schaad, in
his sermon discussed other phases OF
the Lords Prayer, In which the real
requirements OF Christian life were
considered.
Rev. Schaad has made an suspicious
start OF the mission. Straightforward
plain and convincing in his style, calm
and unsensational in his manner, SYM
pathetic and tactful in his method OF
handling truths as taught by the Epis-
copal church, he is ideally fitted for
the very important work he Is doing
and he is bound to leave a lasting i'm
preston on the lives of those who
hear him.

daily held at the chapel at 10 O'Clock
and children's service at the same
place at AIS daily from Monday to
Friday inclusive There will be nc

Not Individualistic,

Special Sermons.

at is as much your duty as a Chris
tan 10 include in your daily petition
10 deity for help and strength, the DO
liceman that walks your walk, as it is
10 refer 10 your immediate family cir
cle,r was the forceful way in which
Rev. J. NJ. SChaad. St Paul, Mimi.
drove home the point that religion is
not primarily individualistic, but So
cialistic as well, yesterday morning
at Trinity Episcopal church in the in
itial sermon Of the mission which he
is TO conduct here through next Sun
day.
Rev Mr.. Schaad took as his theme,
The Social Aspect Of the Lords Pray
er" and showed that until within com
paratiyely recent times the duty of
the church toward society had not
been emphasized. He stated that the
Lords prayer contained all Of the es-
sential elements of religion and ex-
planned the difference between the
Apostles Creed and the Lords Prayer
BY saying that the former is a state
nent Of faith and the latter is an ap-
plication Of faith.
Plural PrOn0unS Used.
The Lords Prayer contains SO
words and one-eighth of them are pro-
nouns. Is it not significant that all
OF the latter are plural?" continued
the speaker. The prayer states Give
us this day our daily bread 1t does
not state Give me this day my daily
bread No one has a right to say the
Lords Prayer if he is getting his daily
bread by depriving some one else Of
theirs. 1t is not strange that with all
the grain raised in this country,
enough TO feed the world. men, women
and children should be starving?
What is the trouble? This country has
not yet learned the social aspect Of
religion
Turning from the material petition
to the spiritual, the Lords Prayer
states Forgive us our trespasses.' 1t
does not say, forgive my trespasses.'
The whole sin-sick world is included
Here the priesthood Of the laity can
be manifested and each one carry his
share of the sorrow of the universe.
Lead US not into temptation but
deliver US from evil is another phrase
Of the Redeemer's petition. Those in
rivil authority should be included.
What is the general attitude of the So
called good citizen toward officers of
1he law? 1t is usually one of criticism
and fault finding. Many officials
doubtless have gone wrong because of
{he absence of Christian sentiment in
the supposed Christian church.
Use of the word our which opens
the prayer, makes brothers of us all
Christ intended the church should be
social. 1t was so In the first era Later
there was few chosen leaders with the
horde outside. Then came to the 9TH
er extreme in which the individualistic
idea was over estimated and the duty
of religion to others was overlooked
The church is now awakening to the
