"He who smiles and laughs away
The little trials of life today,
VIII live TO smile and laugh away
a greater trial another day"
The sermon by Rev. Harris Sunday
morning, January 2S, from the text,
The entereth of thy words giveth
light and giveth understanding to the
simple" Il Psalm, 1880, was de
liyered with elouuence and grace. 1t
was a special sermon to the church
ana he spoke of how Christians allow
impure thoughts to enter their minds
and influence their actions. There
were many expressions of affirmation
when he so thoroughly demonstrated
the thought by pouring clear water
into a glass of black water, saying the
black heart can be made pure by
crowding out the impurities with
cleanliness. -. Mr.. and Mrs. Clinton

Rev. Miss Mary Evans, the great
spiritual evangelist of Chicago, ill.,.
has been assigned the pastoral charge
of Wayman chapel, A. NJ. E. church,
in indianapolis. Rev. Miss Evans, who
is widely known in the West as well
as in the East, is well qualified to hold
such a charge as she has fully master
ed theological course and pastoral
training necessary to complete the
work in Wilberforce, Ohio. Success
has crowned women's labors in art,
politics, literature, charity and com.
