HARKER TELLS WHAT
 WAR TEACHES Us

What the War Has Taught Us" was the subject . of the sermon preached by Dr. Ray Clarkson Harker at the morning service at the First Methodist church, yesterday. Dr. Harker took as his text: Wait for Jehovah, be strong, and let they heart take courage; yea, wait thou for Je- hovah,'' Psalm 27:14.
 We are living in d time of tumuit, he said. Hatred grows while love lan- guishes. Suspicion and bitterness flourish. The furious barbariity of war curses the nations. The face of the Prince of Peace is eclipsed. But we must not harbor these depressing suggestions. The trumpet call of the Psalmist may. well speak to us: Wait for Jehovah: be strong, and let thy heart take courage: yea, wait thou for Jehovah We need to wait upon God in these frightful days. He alone can give the balm of hope.
 There are some lessons we ought to learn and are learning from this war. We are learning the wickedness of the war spirit Lust and greed and am bition feed this war spirit that rose from the depths of hell. What an en- ticing, alluring devil war is
 We are learning now that the con- 1 dltlonS that SurrOuHu our SO1uierS neeu | improving. They are already much better than they were. Here is an en- couraging fact in our history. A mem 1 Der of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, looking through some dusty | files not long ago, came upon this from l the Western Spy and Hamilton County Gazette of July 16, 1TS9. in an adver- tisement for recruits: Plenty of whiskey and life of ease are provided to citizens who enlist We have cer- tainly improved upon that.
 "A soldier friend of Sherwood Eddy said that in the direct surroundings he felt as if he were in some great cathed- raI with the presence of God all about | him. But it is not thus with very many men. It is said of some mer | that they find in the trenches only profanity and obscenity and they clothe themselves in yne immoral mir,
 of their surroundings.'
 Continuing, MT. Harker said:
 Secretaries Baker and Daniels ar' doing heroic work for the welfare O our soldier boys. Secretary Baker ha!
 made his appeal to every governor O our country to help in making ou
 camps clean and safe for young men

WOMAN AND HER
 OPPORTUNITIES

Yesterday being an annual observ. ance of the Christian Women'c Beard of Missions Day. Rev. Buchanan of the First Christian church took for his morning topic: Woman and Her Opportunities" and as his text "AnI this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for q testimony unto all the nations: and then shall the end come" which is the 14th verse fro mthe 24th Chapter of ' the Gospel as recorded by St Matthew.
 Rev. Buchanan spoke of the women of the Christian Women's Board of Missions having wonderful opportuni- ties in Africa. in India, in China, in South America. in the United States, in Arizona, and, finally, in Phoenix.
 A few of his thoughts follow
 The world is all gates, all oppor- tunities. to him wfv will use them"
 We look too far for things close by"
 Many of us who think we are poor are rich in opportunities if we could only see them, in possibilities all about us, in faculties worth more than dia- mOnds
 The missionary spirit is the spirit of the Bible From the fall of man to the death of Christ, Gods whole thought was to save man. But this missionary spirit was smothered and paralyzed by worldly pride, ambitions. and the divisions of Gods people, If our religion is not true, we are | bound to change it: if it is true, we are bound to propagate it. What is money? An article which may be used as a universal passport to everywhere except heaven, and universal provider of everything ex- cept happiness. | The evening service was in charge of Mrs. George Day. state president of the Christian Women's Board of Missions, assisted by the Girls Mis- sionary Circle

He makes his appeal on the ground that the country owes it to the fam lilies from which they come to keep the young men clean; that they must be kept clean if we are to have an efficient army: and he threaeens to move the camps from those neighbor- hoods where clean conditions cannot be secured"
 In closing, Dr. Harker upheld Amer ica's cause for entering the war. He said:' q believe that America has a mission in this war. I believe that we could not stay out of it and be guilt less, but it is not time for the world, that has tried force and diplomacy and commerce on our world problems, to try Christianity that would make all men brothers, and love each mans ruler"

express surprise that there is so little
snow in the city streets and on the Ken

nearly bare, because the snow on the
roads leading to the city is yet deep. 1t

snow is hauled out of Water street after

across the bridge is hard and some driN-
