We find ourselves

II the spiritual. We find ourselves
almost unconsciously drawn to .
higher power. We cannot escape the
Impression .that q supreme power
IL above M. We feel the immortal
ity of life. We are impressed With
the conviction that this life does not
end all.
The soul In her existance smiles
At the drawn dagger and defies It's
point:
The stars shall fade, the sun him
self grow dim with age
And nature sink In years but thou
shalt flourish In immortal
youth
Nnhurt amid the war of elements.
the wreck OF matter and the
crush OF worlds.
As all this becomes a part OF our
very life. We find a desire to relate
ourselves TO the Infinite. This we
may do In the office OF prayer. De-
velop a sense Of the Infinite. Beyond
creed or denominations, whether
Catholic or Protestant. always keep
your life open to God. Dark days may
come. Discouragements may come.
You will then want a strong faith,
and be able to say:
will not doubt though sorrows
| fall 1ike rain
And troubles swarm like bees
about a hive;
I Will believe the heights for which
] strive
Are only reached by anguish and
by pain;
And though I groan and tremble at
my crosses.
yet shall see through my sever
est losses
The Greater gain.
In conclusion the speaker gave a
very eloquent and impressive charge
TO the class. closing with the words
OF Van Dyke:
Four things a man must learn TO do
II he would make his record true:
To think without confusion clearly.
To love his fellow men sincerely.
To act from honest motives purely.
To trust in God and heaven securely.
At the close OF the sermon Rev.
Payne offered a prayer OF thanks
giving and inspiration. followed by
the anthem. God is Love" by the
glee club. the hymn. Come. Thou
Almighty King" by the oongrega-
tion, and the benedietion by Rev. j.

The food problem is one of the vital
issues today. 1T is a problem from
which none Of us may escape. Each
has an individual responsibility in the
situation. 70 win the final victory in
the great war, America must feed not
only herself and her fighting forces,
but She must help TO feed the people of
France, England, Russia and perhaps
other countries. To do this with the
highest measure of efficiency is the
real problem. There must be no lost
motion. Every move must be made to
count Every act must he a blow for
democracy to save and redeem our civ

should be alert to the food needs of
America and our allies We must back

Some exacting critics would have it
that the British navy ought to have
crumhlcd Heligoland to dust, have
steamed to within firing range of Ham
burg, or gone through the Kiel canal,
but they are talking Of the impossible.
II has been great achievement to
keep the ocean open TO all commerce

George has declared. il has been made
possible safely to transport $4,000, 600
men for the British and allied armies,
2,0oo0oo horses. 2j,0oo.o00 tons of ex-
plosiycs and supplies and u. 900, 900
tons of coal and oil. Only $500 men
out Of the vast total Of 100000 have
been lost.
These figures are impressive. 1t is
not to bee gainsaid that if it had not
been for the British navy, France
would have had to stand the Germans

would have been crushed long ago. 1t
