Year Alright, however, fairly large
crowds hurried to fill the pews as

At the Central Methodist
Reverend L. A. Hill selected for his
text Joshua ga, For ye have not
passed this way before" He express
ed his deep gratitude that he had
lived to see this year, when whiskey
was as nearly out of the United
States as it was possible to get it, and
that this great war had shown us that
we could live and prosper without
the sale or manufacture of intoxi-
cantS.
Another gratifying result of the
war, said Reverend Hill, was the
growing spirit of unselfshness that
people were showing. People were
aiding the Y. NJ c. A., he noted. who
had never helped anyone in any way
before. And, in the Red Cross, people
were working side by side in one
common cause who had never work
ed together before, and were exhibit
ing the first signs of unselishness bv
making bandages for the wounded
soldiers. and knitting garments for
those who greatly needed them.
He longed to see the members of
his church get right with God in the
beginning of\this new year, when, he
SAID God was always the same, al
though his manifestations were diff
ferent, and this new year promised
such different manifestations than
heretofore" Almost the entire con-
gregation assembled at the altar to
pledge themselves anew to Gods
service in silent prayer, before the
close of the service.

The text for this sermon is found

things which are behind, and reaching
forth unto those things which are
before, | press toward the mark of

Perhaps you are discouraged bv

to rise above them during the wear
that is before us. Who can say but
what we might succeed along the
same lines whereby we failed before"
