BIG MARRIAGE DRIVE

NEW YORK, Dec. "a. An in
crease of 1900 in the number Of
marriages performed in the Episco-
pal church, which was said TO be
due mainly to the rush of enlisted
men TO get married before going TO

of the church, made public here to-
day. If the same increase holds
good in other denominations in
America, il was pointed out war
marriages have exceeded $4,000.
Candidates for the Episcopal min
istry have fallen off markedly, due
to young men going 10 war. Three
hundred ministers of the church
named are in the service and more
are going. or Offering TO do so. The
prediction is made that next year
Will show an even more notable de-
cline in the number of candidates.
Episcopal communicates number
1.09O,555, according to the figures
for 1917. The income was Just un-
der S21.OOO,OOO. the largest in the
history of the church, but Episco-
pal missions ended the year S175,-

CONTRAST BETWEEN
INFINITE AND FINITE

Great is the mystery OF Godli-
ness; God manifested in the flesh. q"
Timothy SIS. was the text Of the
sermon delivered by Capt. y.
Brookes at the Salvation army sun
day evening. He said:
There is great contrast between
the works from the finite standpoint
and the infinite. Mons capacity in
knowledge, understanding and vision
is limited. while Gods powers are
unlimited in knowing the beginning
and end OF things and those that are
endless or etrnal, which accounts for
man not always understanding the
why's and wherefores regarding the
works of the Lord"
In the career of Moses. God used
the burning bush incident. The
sound OF voice like unto mans arous-
ed Samuel The flash Of bright.
shining light effected Paul in two
Vays-that Of stopping mad perse-
cutiOn Of the Christians, and Of his
conversion of newness of life and
action; while William Booth was
moved 10 unusual activity by vision
OF the sad plight of people out of
touch with church influence"
Almighty God saw the need Of
being manifested in the flesh
through Christ, and arranged ac-
c"Idingly, and at appointed time
angels proclaimed fulfllment Of the
plan TO the shepherds at work I'm
the fields with their flocks by night.
The wise men Of the east saw the
promised star and journeyed with
gifts of welcome 70 the new born
King Of Righteousness, and at this
Christmastide the message still peals
forth throughout the land"
Sing. sing, we angels sing.
And men join IN as WELL"
Make earth and heavens arches
ring,
Christ born in Bethlehem"
No cold indifference Of man. nor
their hot fiery darts OF persecution
Will ever be able to stop Gods work
manifested in and through Christ
from having desired effect in all time
and eternity"

BETHLEHEM STAR
MARKS THE WAY
Minister Says That the Star
Has Guided in All
Ages.

FOLLOWING the star was the sub
feet chosen by Rev A. y. Babbs for
his sermon Sunday az the Stull Me
mortal church Going back 20 the
earliest references Of the Star OF
bethlehem and tracing 10 down TO
is present DAY effect on the people
was the purpose Of the subject
Reference 20 the star Of Bethle-
hem Is first found in the account Of
BALKAN and Balak. stated Rev
Babbs. BALKAN was a mobile king
and wac anxior- that he should per-
suade Balak curse the children
Of Israel. but was prevented each
time ne tried by the divine power.
Then he prophesied great things to
come in the future and made it clear
that Israel would not be fOrsaken by
Jehovah. and that a star would arise
out OF Jacob which meant Judea.
Going back % the star Of Jacob,
we are 10 remember that this prOph-
ecy OF Balaam's was uttered 400
years before the Christ; and that il
had been handed down by tradition
from that day until the very birth
Of our Lord
Tradition says that there were
three wise men from the east, who
presented Jesus with gold, franklin
cense and myrrh. Gold because He
is king F'rankincense because He
is priest. Myrrh because He is
man OF bitter sorrows.
The star Of Bethlehem has pi-
oneered the way i'm science. II one,
at the development Of science in
these modern days. the men who
have brought science 10 its highest
have been men Of God and believers
in Jesus Christ. Let it be shown
that Atheism and Mohammedanism
or any beside the Christian cult have
perfected any of the sciences of to-
day.
The CLEAN OF the star is going in
the forefront OF the progress of the
church. The church is today tenfold
more the servant helper OF human
itv than il ever has been. IL is now
proved that the mission Of the
church is to render the best and
highest service that may be given.
This Star OF Bethlehem has been
shining OF late with great intensity,
not only on the Flag. but on the
evils OF the country. IL has not only
shone upon African slavery and
made il wither, but IL has been shin
ing on the American liquor traffic,
and there has come that new, great.
glorious amendment 10 the constitu-
ton making our country bone dry
as soon as the Sc states have rau-
fed. Twenty-seven states are now
dry and we have only nine more 10
gain; and before this congress has
adjourned the same ones that pass
ed the amendment with eight votes
TO snare Will give us prohibition as
a war measure TO save our grain,
not 10 guzzle and make swine of
ones self with. but for good war
bread.
Let us therefore follow the CLEAN
Of the star. giving as We never have
given. consecrating as we have never
consecrated, until the light of the
Star OF Bethlehem rests on every
city and town and hamlet and island
OF this round earth; and the king
doms OF this world are become the
kingdoms OF our Lord and his
Christ. When this day comes. the
star of Bethlehem VIII go down no
more forever.
