the Universalist church, giving the
sermon. which was very patriotic and
received much favorable commenda-

ject Practical Idealism."
The afternoon services at the City
Opera house are proving as popular
. as the morning services. as there was
a good attendance at 4 o'clock to listen
to a talk by Prof. Herbert c. Libby
who spoke on the subject, Judge
Not"
Prof. Libby said that he brought
this message because Of the times In
which we are living. That war days
are days of great intolerance, greed,
prejudice and hate, and unless we are
on guard we shall be clubbing men
slackers who are heroes, and soothing
men to the trenches who ought to sup
port Impoverished homes. He then
gave several illustrations to show that
men are judges much more on appear
ances than on worth and graces.
