TNO SERMONS Preached
81 REV. W.P. LOCKWOOD.
Chicago Man Occupies Pull
pit Of Local Baptist
Church for Day.
MAY BE CALLED HERE
Congregation Here Has No
Pastor and Is Now Seek
ing Proper Man.
MAY BE CALLED HERE

Two sermons were preached yester-
day at the Emmanuel Baptist church
on the corner of Pine and Woody
streets by the Rev. w. p. Lockwood,
of the University of Chicago. The
Rev Mr.. Lockwood is being consid
cred for the vacant pulpit of the
church. He is now studying at the
university for his masters degree and
has already had experience in the
field.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Lockwood
took for his subject "Our Quest OF
God" He did not confine God to any
material form, but said that people
sought Him in the realm of personal
ity: that He belonged to the realm of
vital human experience and could not
be weighed, measured or found in the
world of reality. He said that the
quest of God was similar to the quest
of musician for harmony. the quest
of an artist for beauty and the quest
of the scientist for truth His SER
mon was full of apt illustrations upon
which he based the thought that the
quest of God is most successful when
combined with an effort to carry love,
sympathy and compassion into the
living relationship of mankind.
Last night Mr.. Lockwood preached
'The Parable of Garden in which
he compared the development or hui
man life through education with the
growth Of the garden plants. He
first took up the law of cause and eff
feet: the planting of the grain and re-
sulting stir of life in the seed. He
then dealt with the law of growth,
telling of the different stages passed
through by the growing plant and the
development of the growing boy or
girl. He used the full grown plant,
brought to it's perfect maturity by
careful cultivation, in comparison with
the mature, educated man or woman
and made a plea for the bringing or
these together in whole souled coop
Grafton for the good of the nation. He
asked for cooperation not only dur
ing the present war situation, but also
in after years in an effort toward IN
creasing the wealth of the nation and
it's capacity for doing good.

Loue and Locks
L4ocksmith Laughs at Sur
reptitious Lover.

Love does not always laugh at
locksmiths. Billy Brown, whom
the proverb should have saved,
was undone by locksmiths
and is now becoming Intimately
acquainted with the work of the
eminent smith who designed the
locks on the cells at the city Jail.
Bills wasn't an amour deserv-
ing sympathy. 1t was of class
prohibited by city statute. Brown,
who Is white, called upon Mamie
Watkins, black, and lately off
cially scarlet. An officer thought
he saw Brown enter the Watkins
door. 1t was locked.
When at last the officer got in
side no man was to be seen. The
policeman searched everywhere
with no success. Then he spied
a trunk.
whats in there?" he asked.
Some cut glass and my dead
sisters Clothes" said Mamie.
The trunk was frightfully
heavy, but with the help of by
stander the policeman slammed it
around the room a little. There
was no sound of glass.
THAT mans in there" said the
cop.
You're liar" countered Mamie.
A locksmith was sent for. He
gave the trunk another thorough
jouncing before he was able to
swing back the lid.
Inside, hot and battered and
cramped, was Brown. The case
will be heard today.

Humming.

Human beings are the only Great
ures born with the ability to hum ex-
cept, of course, humming birds. Hum
ming birds, however, have to hum for
a living, while the average human only
huns at odd moments as a sort of
relaxation 1t seems probable that
most of men could not shave or tie
their ties if they weren't able to hum
a few bars while thus employed. Very
often at such times you find that you
are improvising pretty little snatches
of song that the world should not will
ingIy see die. You feel that If you
had taken the thing up when younger
you might have made first rate COM
poser. You try the thing over and
it seems to want it's first charm. Lots
of little musical gems are lost to the
world in this way. The man who
does not hum Or yodel while busy
about the bathroom is as unnatural a
creature as the women who is not be-
guiled by bargain.

NEW FERTILIZER.

Experiments conducted by the Agricultural Department chemists show that Alaska tundra possesses in a pre-eminent degree all the qualities California fruit soil needs for fertilizer. The report says how ever that it is believed that the freight rates would be prohibitive and shipments not remunerative. Mayor Blake calls the attention of A. Polet to this item. A Cali fornia expert says that the Agricul- tural Department probably overlooks the fact that steamers return in ballast from Alaska and cheap freight rates for the tundra could be arranged.
