individual ships permanently station
ed in western waters, as the desire
of the men and officers will be to

In this connection some navy men
look to see some ships almost COM
pletely manned by officers and crew

east many times ships have been
transferred from one base to another
because OF a prepondedance of crew
and officers lived at certain base.

Rather an unusual request came to
Rev. ]. Ebert Wells, pastor of Dia-

church, yesterday afternoon when a
woman from out OF the city called upon
him at the parsonage and asked that
the congregation pray for her as she
intended to live the Christian life ano
at the same time urged prayer for her

The facts were related last evening
at the East, Side union evangelistic

supplications were ffered for the wom-

half dozen voluntary prayers were
offered while the congregation stood.
The story was rather pathetic al

impressed with the effective work
that is being done there for Christ.

Rev. R j. Meyer, Of the Lutheran

scripture lesson was the third chap
ter Of Johns gospel. The text was
John 3:3, Except a man be born
again he cannot see the kingdom Of
God"
The sermon was short, clear ana
definite. Some particularly pointed
ideas presented In the discourse were:
"a person in heaven with an unregen.
Grated spirit would be out Of place.
"a man is changed the moment his
purposes changed. Regeneration has
been wrought for us by Jesus Christ.
Regeneration is the act by which faith
is given. When a man is changed and
is living new life great happiness
comes to him."
At the close Of the sermon Rev. l..
A. McNemar took charge OF the SER
vices. During the song and praise SER
vices several persons expressed de.
sire to live new life.
