All Things Work
 Together pr. EdmOndS

Dr. H. M Edmonds of the Independent Presbyterian church preached a striking sermon last night at the Lyric, using the text, 'All Things Work Together for Good to Them That Love God"
 Tt is essential that men learn to accept the universe" said pr. Edmonds, which make it appear the reverse The spring
 is friendly in spite of happenings that
 is friendly with it's showers and sunshine. in spite of the fact that snakes and spiders turk beneath the rotting log. Life is friendly in spite of things that cause the heart to bow down, and the back we'll nigh break We cannot explain these things to our satisfaction, perhaps. We only know that it is so.
 This does not mean that we are to ac- cept as relentless fate, sickness and death and pride ourselves upon being resigned to everything that comes along. Illness must be fought, definite complaint must be made of things that cause the evil, not resignation to it, sometimes through ways that are bitter and hurt our very souls, come message if only we can sec What do we mean usually when we say for good, referring to this text Not good for your business, perhaps bigger thing, your good. not your pleasure.
 We have such mistaken notions of life, we seek happiness, as the chief thing in uLe. WHeTedS ndppliIeSS IS dIl lHCluSHt. It is discovered indirectly walking by your side, when you are doing nobly and firmly and have forgotten your quest for
 it. then it is yours. The good that is meant is character, strength and faith, which are often attained through dark ness, from which you emerge into a larger light
 ''The worst thing in the world is fear. We are cowardly. We lie upon couch of fear when we ought to be on a throne, full of courage and of faith. The man who loves the Lord, thinks not only of his own little life, he t~iaks and acts for the good of the whole community and for the world All the spiritual forms are working together for your greatest good"
 Captain Negre of the French high con- mission addressed the audience in behalf of the fatherless children of France, pleading their cause in convincing words as one who has seen all the horrors and suffering of war-torn France.
 Captain Negre touched the hearts of the large audience when he spoke of the bond of blood that binds the two coun- tries" The American boys are buried beside the French, he said. Their blood was spilled there together, for common cause, and the children of these heroes must be in your charge, not for one year, but until such time as reconstruction shall have been brought about and France can herself shoulder the burden.

Saturday,

Lausanne, Switzerland, Saturday. April 5.-.Announcement that the inter national Olympic committee had chos- en Antwerp for the Olympic games In 1920 by Baron Pierre De Coubertin, president of the committee, at meet ing here to celebrate the twenty-flftn anniversary of the re-establshment of the Olympics, was applauded warm ly. The baron said that he had sent telegram this morning to King Albert of Belgium announcing the decision CT the committee Neither the united States. Great Britain nor the centra. powers were represented at the meet ing this afternoon.
 Baron De Coubertin denied the truth of the report that the French would refuse to participate in the next OIym- piad if the Germans take part. Sport ing circles here doubt that the British and Americans will enter the games with the Germans and Austrians next year.
 The Olympic committee is making an effort to prevent the hatred engend- cred by the war from ruining the sporting spirit after the war, but rec ognize that it has a difficult task ahead of it.

Courage" Subject O f
 Dr. MacSporran's Sermon

"Couarge" was the subject of Dr. John A. MacSporrans sermon at the First Presbyterian church last night He cited Christians journey from the City of Destruction to the City of God, DOT trayed in Bunyans Pilgrims Progress, as an illustrious example of courage.
 Through the slough of despohdency, up the hill of difficulty, through the streets of Vanity Fair beset with hardships, trials, pitfalls. urged to abandon the hard way and seek rest and ease just over the edge of the path, Christian, nevertheless, pursued his journey until he was admitted within the gates of the City of God.
 The book was written, Dr. MacSpor- ran said, in one of the most trying periods in the worlds history, when the true followers of Christ were persecuted and forbidden to worship according to their beliefs, their churches closed and those who defied the authorities were inn prisoned Bunyan was confined in prison F years although at any period during that time he would have been given his freedom had he compromised or for saken his faith.

Weekly Financial Review

New York, April 6.-Econonaic events of vital importance engrossed the at tention of banking interests last week, while the stock market continued its advance, with such pauses and varia- tions as might naturally result from realizing for profits and the, tentative aggressions of the bear faction.
 The extent of public interest was again a matter of debate but all avail able information confirms the belief that participation on the construction side continues to have it's main impulse from other than local sources
 Accession of bullish sentiment from interior points coincides with the great CT optimism engendered by the grow ing crop outlook and the more stable conditions reported from important in dustrial centers.
 Although a confused situation exists in the steel trade due to the contro- versy over prices precipitated by the railroad administration trustworthy reports concur that leading mills are operating at comparatively high rate of capacity. A very favorable impress ion was created by the remarkable financial exhibition of the United Steel corporation for 1918.
 Shippings, oils and metals were gov erned by the influences applicable to those issues, but the breaking off of the mercantile marine deal, uncertain Mexican conditions and further read justment of the market for copper ex- erted no perticipible effect.
 Rails were the prominent issues of the later dealings, their strength sug- gesting something more tangible than a raid against the shorts. Buying of tranSportationS of the investment class was almost without precedent in the movements of the past six weeks.
 Rapid absorption of the notes offered by the war finance corporation testi- fled to the underlying strength of the investment market, which is soon to be put to greater test by the inaugu ration of the "Victory" loan.

HARRIS BOASTS REED FOR RECENT SPEECH

 for Good
By Associated Frels

Jefferson City, Mo, April ,6.-Answering the recent speech of United States Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, before the legislature in the house chamber today Representative Frank H. Harris said he and his associates had no apology to of fer for leaving in the midst of Senator Reeds speech and denied that their ac- tion was preconcerted.
 But the recent efforts pn his part, Farris said, have so satisfied us all that he is animated by spite rather than prin- ciple, that he is moved by malice and i'll will rather than friendship and love; that as far as we are concerned the curtain for the future has fallen and neither time nor opportunity will ever again present req son for recommendation of his own self opinionated greatness"
 Farris said Senator Reed gave the news paper men the manuscript of his speech and then said the best part" of his speech was not included in the published manuscript
 This part, termed by him the best Farrs went on, was vitroidlic abuse and islander by innuendo and insinuation, as well as by open expression against the men representing our own government in the task of formulating a policy and ac- tion that might insure peace to the world.
 Tt was such" he contended, "as if made by a private citizen prior to Novem- Der Il would have subjected the maker to a term in the Leavenworth penitentiary, v and added, it was to these things we took exception"

 The secret of the Christian religion is that it is a religion of the concrete, a manifestation of it's truths in living per son, before living men. So if the truth
 of our religion is to effect others, it mus.
 be embodied in our lives before men, the preacher, must have his grasp upon facts, upon experiences. upon life, and must il- lustrate his theories with living exper- Hence and concrete incidents.

CARRIER PIGEON IS HERO IN RESCUE OF
 LOST NAVAL A|RMAN
Flutters in Hotel Window Bearing Message of Seri- ous Condition of En-
 sign Out of Gas

Atlantic City, N. J., April GA blue carrier pigeon was instrumental in saw ing the life of Ensign Finch, a nevy air. man, adrift in flying boat without fuel in rough sea late last night while Judge E. Joseph Burlington of the United States circuit court of appeals for Penn sylvania, and his cousin, Lieut.. Matthew Taylor late cammonder of land forces afloat in the naval district, from Cape Hatteras to Florida, were supporting actors in one of the most remarkable rescues ever made off the South Jersey coast.
 William Lyall of Toronto was seated in his beach front room at hotel, late last night, when an exhausted carrier pigeon fluttered in through an open window. Judge Burlington and Lieutenant Tay- Tor, who were at the hotel found a small cylinder of aluminium about an inch in length clamped to it's leg. Upon a piece of paper not much bigger than a special delivery stamp in the tiny re- ceptacle was this message of appeal from the sea:
 "Down 10 miles west of submarine chaser at AIS p. m. No gas.
 ENSIGN FINCH.'
 Lieutenant Taylor communicated with headquarters of the Fourth naval dis trict, at the Philadelphia navy yard, on the telephone. Instantly the news was flashed to the Cape May naval base.
 At 1 o'clock thie morning the Cape May naval base called Lieutenant Tay- Tor from his bed to inform him that submarine chasers, hurriedly dispatched off shore had found Ensing Finch and his disabled machine and returned them to safety
 Naval headquarters asked that the bird in the case be given the best care possi' ble and returned to Cape May.
