Patriotism Prayer.
Patriotism was spoken of as a pray
err for the attainment of the ideal Of
the nation in the sermon preached by
the Rev. H. H. Frost at the First
Methodist church Sunday morning. He
told his congregation that in the life
of the young American patriotism has
meant little more than enthusiasm,
aroused by the music of fife and drum
and brass bands, or the military drill
and display of the stars and stripes.
He stated that in this crisis the peo-
pie will be taught the lesson that
patriotism is, in essence, prayer,
whose petitions are expressed in any
and every struggle and sacrifice that
are bound to be necessary to bring the
idea of the people to realization.
Touches on War.
Rev. f. G. Ford, pastor of the,
Plymouth Congregational church, told
his Sunday morning congregation that
King Solomon was the first ruler to
use the select draft and that the Unit
ed States is called to this service, to
the spiritual service of the race and
that the call may come in many ways
and find expression through many
professions and walks of life, but that
it is Gods work all the same and
deserves the best efforts Of every one.
Men Not Base Born.
The Rev. DR.. r. A. Beard of the
First Congregational church. in his
Sunday morning sermon said men are
not base born" but that their lineage
is divine"
They have the royal blood Of Deity
with them" said the pastor. 1T is I'M
natural and unwholesome for men to
think low thoughts of themselves. Man
is lord over nature; on him the giants
and the fairies wait. Every shining
faculty of his intellectual nature points
to Him who stitch enthroned above
the stars and whom Jesus taught us to
CALL Our Father"
According to DR.. Beard, mem treat
their fellows according to their ideals
of them and that to raise the standard
of ideal conception of men will mean
for them better treatment. Gods
he said, is the great enemy
of human tyranny.

tinue until May 20, one week. Envoy
