There Is no question that the loss Of

serious had happened to one of the

Then Sunday spoke OF the church
and its failure to rescue the per-
ishing as it should. He brought
out the fact that in the fashion

fewer that there are more churches
and in the crowded poor districts
there are only very few people.
He spoke of the non-churchgoer
and the non-going church, empha-
sizing his belief that it is the duty
Of the people in the church to
change the conditions which exist
and get the church livened up so
that there won't be any people who
do not attend.

He paid a high tribute to the
work that girls in the business
world are doing, to their integrity,
their pluck and determination, the
ability, their power to overcome
obstacles and attain great heights,
and added that if the girls stop n
their work, the Cogs of the world
would be clogged and the wheels
would have to stop.
He spoke of her effort to live up
to certain principles and he added
THE girl without principle is a
girl without anchor" He pointed
out the duty of the wife to her hus-
band, the duty Of the mother to her
daughter and of the daughter to
her mother, and every one must
have carried away with her some
new thought or new responsibility
to those whom she holds dear, SO
forcefully was it impressed upon
her.
But why go further into the ser
mon, every woman reading this was
probably there last night and heard
it first hand from Mr.. Sunday. 1t
would have been a good thing If
every man in town could have heard
the sermon. There was nothing
said or done that could not have
been heard by them with perfect
propriety and it probably would
have done many of them world of
good.
The Lend a Hand club of Daven-
port, about 200 of the members,
came in a body as the only delega-
ton. The girls had come prepared
to put on a demonstration, but Mr..
Sunday nipped 1t in the bud and
would permit nothing aside from
the singing OF a hymn or two. The
girls. however, stood up at the in
vitation of Mrs. Asher and one of
their number sounded the bugIe
call.
At the close of the service M.
Sunday, following his usual Gus
tom, gave the invitation to the
women to come forward and they
crowded to the front in such num-
bers that it was impossible to make
even a casual estimate of the num-
Der. in fact the secretaries made no
effort to secure the list Of pilgrims
at Mr.. Sundays suggestion that it
would be next to impossible to
control the crowd to that extent.
The men ushers served until the
time for Mr.. Sunday to take the
pulpit, when they retired to the
secretaries room and remained
there until the close of the sermon
when they again appeared to assist
in handling the crowd.
The police were ordered to keep
men away from the building and
none was permitted to rubber

Good Habits Formed i41 Youth
NeUer C0ra be Changed by DeUit

Mr.. Sunday this afternoon had
another special sermon for chill
dren, many hundreds of whom
fioeked TO the tabernacle TO hear
him. He spoke to them on the
subject of Remember Your Crea-
tor" in which he pointed out to
them. with the aid of many stories
and illustrations, the necessity Of
forming good habits early in life,
which he said would endure
through old age. He said among
other things:
Remember your Creator in the
days OF your youth"
That is. remember God when you
are young. because if you don't and
you go on living in sin the bible
says the time will come when you
will say, y have no pleasure in
them"
The one great time 10 learn any
thing lis when you are young.
That's the time 10 learn to serve

big crowd. There were a thousand
Christian people there. and I asked
this question-they were all grown
men and women:
How many Of YOU became con-
yerted and became Christians be-
fore you were 90 years old?" and
eight hundred ninety-three out OF
a thousand people held up their
hands.
So, most everybody that's
Christian started when they were
young. That's the reason the Lord
says, Remember your Creator in
the days of your youth" and IL
you wait until you get old. your
habits become formed and it is
hard to change them.
If you think it isn't hard 10
change a habit, you get up in the
morning and don't comb your hair.
and don't wash your face. and sec
how hard # will be TO change and
not do that.
So, that's the reason you want
to start in and learn to do things
when you are young-then when
you get old 1t is easy. In the cir

Three or four men with shovels

then by steam pressure pressed it

twelve feet long, just as wide and

just as far apart as they wanted

Immediately follows: Thy will be

Why Oil Floats on Water.

1t seems very curious at first sight
that one liquid should be able TO float
on the surface of another; but IL we
think carefully about it we see ut 0neg
that whether thing floats on the sur-
face Of water or not depends EpUE
two things, writes the Child's Rcnk
of Wonders. First, whether il lis saEu-
ble-that is, will dissOlye-in wafer OF
not. For instance, if we put piece or
salt in water it disappears, because
the salt is soluble in water Ii, h0g-
ever, we put piece of light wood on
water it floats there because it is not
soluble, and therefore remains intact.
and also because the weight of sfse
piece of wood is less than an equaz
piece of water. 1t is much the same
with oil. Oil and fat are quite fTsos-
uble in water, and as the oil is eeFs-
siderably lighter than the bulk of Wa
ter it floats on the surface.
