crowds once more began cheering and
shouting, tho cheers continuing as the
presidential carriage, with mounted
police before and behind 1t, passed
along.
The President looked refreshed after
his nights rest. Mrs. Wilson was ra-
diant with her thanks. when several
persons threw big bouquets Of flow
ers into her carriage, in which she
was riding with the lady mayoress.
She picked up the floral tributes and
smilingly bowed her acknowledge
ments.
Manchester is in the great manufac.
turing midlands of England. Presi.
dent Wilson, who arrived here last
evening, found in this city a different
atmosphere from that OF London
There his time was absorbed and nee.
essarily by formalities and official
functions. Here, there have been for
mai events, but with more eemo-
cratic air and on a more democratic
scale. Here he found a hospitality
which could not be warmer than that
Of London. but which brought him
closer TO the people.
There is a strong civic pride in this
metropolis. It's people feel that their
city was signally honored in being
chosen from among other English
cities for the Presidents visit.
Guests Of Lord Mayor
The Lord Mayor is a self.made man.
His home, where MIR. and Mrs viii.
son were guests, is in a section OF the
city hall where the mayors live dur
ing their terms OF office. 1t Is typt'
cal English home. The rest Of the
Presidents party was quartered at
a nearby hotel.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson sat down to
an early family dinner last evening
and soon afterward retired 10 their
apartment on the fourth floor where
they could rest. with nothing more
disturbing than the gongs of passing
tram cars. The Presidents days in
England have involved great physi.
cal strain, which was apparent to
those near him last evening.
The most notable engineering works
in Manchester are the ship canal and
docks. The first activity of the day
was an inspection of these and the
party proceeded from the city hall in
automobiles. There were eight cars in
the procession, three of them being
occupied by city officials. Mr.. Wilson
was received by Captain Bacon, chair.
man OF the directors of the ship canal,
and spent an hour on board a sman
steamer which cruised among the
docks After his return to the city
hall, Ross +. Holiday, American con.
sui, presented Americans residing in
the city.
From there IT was short drive to
the Free Trade Hall. After the Cere'
monies there, the official party drove
by circuitous route to the Midland
Hotel where at l o'clock, the presi.
dent was entertained at luncheon by
the city officials and many Of the
representative citizens.
In his address at the luncheon at
the Midland Hotel. President Wilson
referred to unity of command on the
battlefield in the recent hostilities.

DR. SIMPSON USES 4HAGAR" AS TOPIC FOR STRONG SERMON
First Christian Pastor Closes Sermon With an Appeal for Recruits for Teach
 CT Training Classes
.s n.E; RESOURCES .,o oss

Liberty Sunday was fittingly observed at the First Christian church in a com bined service of the Sunday school and morning worship periods in which the buying of Liberty Bonds was urged and the annual promotion service held.
 Dr. Simpsons topic was 'Hagar: A Les- son i'll Hearing. ".' He said in part:
 Hagar was a bondwoman and bond maid of Abrahams patrician wife. She had no liberties save those her mistress chose to grant, and even the girdle of her honor was in Sarah's keeping, who gave her in concubinage to Abraham. She called her child Ishmael, who followed in his freeman-father's footsteps more than he clung to his slave-mother' s skirts. When Isaac was born Ishmael passed through all the moods and mem tai struggles which lad would natural ly undergo, when his dominion has been invaded by more legitimate claimant to the throne.
 son of the bondwoman gave way to his jealousy and his mockeries did not es- cape the sharp eyes of Sarah
 The speaker graphically described Ha- gar's banishment, ''water-skin empty and food gone, no track in the hot sands save their own and no tent on the bleak hills to tell of human neighbor. But
 
 angel spoke out of the cloud:
 There is the attitude of the mother, the attitude of God and the act of a good angel to be found in this old story. The mother was alert, sympathetic with all the pain sharing of real motherly compassion. There should be that same attitude of the church toward youth We say Holy Mother Church, and it is a name worth wearing and worth liv- ing up to. 1t suggests tenderness, guar dianship affection, foresight.
 CHURCH OF TOMORROW "It suggests perpetuity of the species 1.-the church of tomorrow. The woman in the story was in reach of the child, and holy mother church is in arm and bosom reach of it's young people. Hagar went without food for the sake of her child and the church that is moth er-like will go without many things, if reed be, that the boys and girls of it's constituency and its community may have needed facilities in the physical equipment of the church building.
 Charles Dickens describes mother who was busy writing essays, while her neglected children would get their heads fastened between the palings of an iron fence /and remain pilloried until some considerate passerby rescued them. The church can be more of an essayist than a holy mother. It can be more inter- ested in denominational quarrels than in caring for it's youth. The voice of the lad reached the ear of God and the good angel came as a messenger. of the Lord. Teachers of youth in the Sunday school have the opportunity to be Gods good angels responding to the voice of the child"
 The speaker closed with a stirring ap- peal for recruits for the teacher training department of the Bible school.

WHICH is YOUR CLASS.

After the war there will be two
classes of citizens-those who pay
taxes and draw interest, and those
who only pay taxes.
In which class will you be?
The war must go on until the Hun
is whiDpeG-and somebody must pey
the bills.
Net all of US can serve at the
front. Not all of US can make muni-
lions. But every one of us can serve
according to our means by lending
to our country-which, after all,
means lending to ourselves-the
money which will pay for the war.
The purchase of Liberty bonds is a
national necessity, and at the same
time it is a blessing in disguise. To
save now, is to have in after years.
Money is cheap now, It's purchas-
ing power is small By laying it
away now, in the form of Liberty
Bonds, it will be paid to you when
its purchasing power probably will
be higher. Thus you will draw inter
est in two ways. Besides the regu-
lar interest rate borne on the cou-
pons the fifty dollars. worth one suit
of clothes today, may be worth two
suits of clothes when you cash in the
bond at maturity.
The careful trader sells when
things are high and buys when they
are low. He stores his low-cost goods
for a higher market. Your money
stored away with Uncle Sam now
should reap you a handsome profit IN
years to come.
