URGES MORE FAITH IN
POWER OF THE GOSPEL

Africa for Christ" was the
theme of a missionary sermon
preached last evening at st. PaUFs
Methodist Episcopal church by Rev.
James l.. Gardiner. d. d. The SER
mon was followed by pictures of
The City Of Cairo" and The Tip
of the Dark Continent"
DIR. Gardiner in part said:
I'm the year 1903 there was held
in Edinburgh. Scotland, the great
est missionary conference that the
world has ever known since the stir
ring days when the church at An
tioch sent Saul and Barnabas forth
on their first missionary journey.
Representatives were there from
every evangelical church in the
world. They, one and all laid aside
there differences in creed and theo-
logy, in a common effort TO answer
the great question How shall we
reach the heather world?' 1t was
as John r. Mott said The decisive
hour in the history of Christian mis-
sions'
ANOh dgOuL IL NtHlhl ia 2
come and gone since Jesus Christ
said TO His disciples Go We into all
the world and preach my gospel to
every creature and yet that mis-
sionary conference discovered that
only about one-third of the world
had been won to Christ Among the
people who have as yet been prac-
tically unreached are TO be found
the teeming millions of Africa. And
why is it that we have as yet not
reached the millions in the dark con-
tinent? There are many reasons but
there is one that lies at the very
heart of our apathy. Ii is this. We
have lacked a vital faith in the pow
er Of the Gospel to save the people
Of Africa
What is the secret Of the mission
airy impulse at home or abroad? 1t
is a belief in the Gospel Of the Son
Of God. 1t is a belief that Jesus
Christ has power not only 10 forgive
sin but that he has power to trans
form human lives. The early church
was a missionary church but il was
first an evangelical church. It was
first a church that believed in the
power of the Gospel and impelled
with this faith went forth to preach
the Gospel TO others. The greatest
need Of the church today, if it would
reach the millions Of Africa is this
"a vital faith in the Gospel OF the
Son of God, That He is the propi-
tation Of our sins and not Of ours
only but OF the sins Of the whole
world.

BLAMES HOME IF
BOYS GO WRONG
Rev. w. H. FreShIey Says Most
Homes Only Place to Eat,
Sleep and GroWl.

Most modern homes are merely
a place for the boy to eat. sleep
and growl," declared Rev w. H.
Freshley. pastor of the First Evan
gelical church. in his sermon at the
special services Sunday morning at
the church for the boys and girls
Rev. Freshley discussed the inhu-
ence Of the home and church up
on the boy and girl
"Of the three institutions respon
sibie for the education of our boys
and girls, the church, the school
and the home, the greatest is the
home" said Rev. Freshley. The
home is the basis Of the commun-
ity Community life rises TO the

Why Boys Go Wrong.
Boys don't go TO the devil be-
cause they have any special liking
for the devil, but because the devils
crowd pays the most attention TO
them" said Rev. Freshley, quoting
DR.. Hardeman. Continuing he
pointed out that if the boy and girl
are TO become full rounded on:
adults care must be taken 70 devel-
op their spiritual, physical social
and intellectual powers. IF the
physical strength is developed alone
the child becomes a brute. if the
intellectual is developed alone it be
comes a fool and if the social is
developed alone it becomes a molly
coddle," he said.
Churches are not built and or
ganized in a way TO attract or sup
ply the need of the boy and girl"
continued the speaker, and in con-
clusiOn he pointed out the import
ant part that the church can play
in caring for the children and stat
ed that criminals generally begin
their career OF crime at about the
age that the average boy quits go
ing TO sunday school.

MAN KNOWS LITTLE IN
EYES OF GOD SAYS PASTOR

That man can know only a few
things and those imperfectly and
that he will be blind to the most i'm
portant facts of life unless he learns
from God, the revealing God. was
the thought brought out in the ser
mon by Rev. G. f. Byrer, pastor Of
the Conference Memorial United
Brethren church Sunday morning.
We learn that much of the pur-
pose of God is concealed from the
eyes of His people. That there is
much that the wisest man does not
know. We find this true every
where" said Rev. Byrer. In the
natural world, in the world Of
ion, how little we know! Wren We
come TO Gods word we cannot I'M
derstand even the first verse. Luther
said he could not understand many
OF the psalms until he had been af-
fiicted. We should not. however, be
discouraged nor led into unbelief
because God sees fit TO conceal from

not intend that we know all about
his works. We must be as children
and work from the point Of trust
and faith and obedience"
Rev. Byrer then went on TO show
the significance OF Jesus taking a
towel at the passover supper point
ing out that this was a lesson of
service to us and concluded by say
ing: There will come time when
we will know. When everything will
oe fully and satisfactorily explained.

closures ray be in thine and il may

Itself Declares Rev. Hunt
in Sermon.

That the church must tight real

made by Rev. Melvin C.. Hunt OF tny
Trinity NJ. f. church sunday morn
ing. in his sermon on The Living
Church"
Rev. Hunt said in part. There
are two views of the church that
have held sway from earlier times.

Now. while much OF this is an es-
sential part of church activity and
ideals, let us apply this point Of
view 20 an army IN war time sup
posing the general and his staff
should measure the success Of their
army by keeping enlistments up and
desertiOns down. by having regular

and maintaining "a fine looking. well

ers in the division according to Colef
Campbell, director of the bureau OF
military relief for the division. Hith.
erto no distinction as to the state
from which soldiers came has been
made in the apportionment of Red
Cross garments. As a result many
of the men from the division are
without knitted articles while SOL
diers from other states have been
supplied by women Of the division.
I'm the future, !" declares Mr.. Camp
bell, 1--WE will give our own boys the
preference, without Of course cur
failing shipments overseas. We have
an abundance of our men and be-
lieye it is our duty to supply them
first
Farmers from Washington county,

M. Joyner of the Twenty-fifth I'm
tied States engineers, tells Of open
ing his comfort kit sent by the Red
Cross. 'I opened my Red Cross COM
fort knit" he wrote, with all the
anticipation of child exploring his
stocking on Christmas morning. My
surprise and appreciation were equal
to those Of a child. I wish I could
extend my gratitude to the Red
Cross chapter which made the kit"
Eight van loads of Red Cross sup
plies, sweaters, shirts, socks, surgi-
cal dressings ,and other things made
by the workers, reached the division
supply house every day. A small
army Of men, women and girls,
working under the direction of Mrs.
Laurence e. Horton, chief inspector
for the division, are kept busy from
morning until night, unpacking,
sorting, inspecting and finally re-
packing the supplies and shipping
them to their final destination,
either across the sea or to the SOL
diers in our own training camps.
AS the boxes come in they are un-
packed and the different garments
assembled together-the sweaters
in one pile, surgical dressings in an
other and socks in another. Then
each garment is inspected to see that
it conforms to regulations. The sur
gical dressings are inspected more
minutely than any other article.
Women, most of them nurses, trained
in the work, go over every gauze
compress seeking for stray threads
that the workers may have over
looked.
Finally the goods are repacked in
huge boxes, lined with waterproof
paper, nailed and bound with strips
of metal A printed list, showing
Morris tribune., 1917-12-07

what each box contains In included
in the contents. The address Of its
final destination, together with an
announcement of the contents is
stencilled on the outside Of the box.
From 35 to 40 of these boxes are
shipped from the division headquart-
ers daily. During the rush of
Christmas goods for France the out
put was even greater.
Frequently the inspectors discov-
er notes attached to the garments,
written by the women who have
made the goods. Contrary to the
popular belief. 1t is extremely sell
dom that a mash note" written by
a girl seeking to strike up roman
tic correspondence with a soldier,
Is found. More often the notes seem
to be written by elderly women. wo-
men who have sons, husbands or
brothers in the army These mes
sages are full of encouragement and
good cheer. Occasionally the work
ers write hteir messages In poetry
some good, some not so good as to
rhyme and meter. Often placards on
the garments announce that the
knitters are men or women past so
years old.
A wolf hunt for the benefit of the
Red Cross is planned at Fessenden,
N. D. In Lake Crystal township
farmers have complained for weeks
OF depredations on chicken coops
and sheep pastures by coyotes and
even timber wolves. They appealed
to the sportsmen's club Of Fessenden
and a big drive drive is planned this
week. Every man in the county
who has a gun Is invited to help in
the wolf roundup. Proceeds from
the sale Of the pelts and bounties
will be given to the Red Cross.
An army of Aberdeen. s. D., school
children have begun a search for
hidden and unused dollars" with
which to swell the Red Cross fund.
Homes, vacant lots, alleys, sheds. and
barns will be searched for metals,
magazines, rubbers and anything
that can be sold. The plan has the
approval of the mayor and police and
fire chiefs. In addition to being a
benefit to the Red Cross, the cam
paignN will help to "Clean up the
Town." 1t is declared.
Reports that scraves and wrist
