The Heralds Weekly Sermonette
aTHE GREAT RESTORATION"
By REV. GEORGE A. MILLER
Ninth Christian Church
By REV. GEORGE A. MILL
Ninth Street Christian Church.

We are living in the greatest Pc
riod Of the worlds history since
the coming of Christ to earth. There
have been epoch making periods in
the history of our nation. but July
4. I7s, and April 9. 1866. will NOT
compare to November IL. 1918.
From this day forth we must be
a nation of new ideals and new
conceptions; the world can never
again be the same. The same con-
dition of national suspicion and
jealousy, each nation arming itself
against all others. vast preparation
for war, will only bring another
and greater war.
The time has come when nations
like individuals must act like and
be like gentlemen. No gentleman
upon weapons of warfare to pro-
tect himself. There must as, truly
be a league of nations that will
prevent future wars.
Influence Of Church.
The greatest and most far-reac ching
event of our day is national prohfbi-
ton. This has come through the in
fiuence of the church. The w. &. Il.
u, the Anti-saloon League and all
other organizations that have done
such noble work are but the repre-
sentatives of the church-the church
itself in action.
The men on Capitol Hill that voted
for this measure are but giving ex-
preston to that which the church has
taught them. The men in the diner
ent State Legislatures are also mani
Testing the spirit of the Church OF
Christ. The sentiment OF our nation
today is against this curse of any
land.
The greatest insult ever offered to
our brave boys who have gone over
seas to face death for a great prin-
ciple is that of the liquor men in 81.
Louis, who said 30 per cent of them
would be against prohibition on their
return. This is not true and should
be resented by all good people
throughout the land.
Christian union is the great event
ir the present history of the church.

Mother Lorimers physician asked
to have DR.. Certeis called for a con-

Now it so happened that mother
had gone TO her room directly from

missed Chrys' most disturbing seance
She knew nothing OF the ouija board

the story about him which Eloise
had conhded to me.
And such is :he enigmatic behavior
Of fate that when mother gave Ger

naturally explained that the lovely

by the Hun; had found a home with
us, and had only lately resolved 70

N. Y. Food Prices Drop,
But Not for Consumer

New York. Jan. 4.-Wholesale fooo
prices were lower in New York today
than at any time since America en-
tered the war. according to +. @. Foy,
publisher of the New York Daily Mar
ket Report But retail prices were
continuing generally at their old high
level and the consumer, as usual, was
failing to benefit from the decline.
Foy explained that this situation
was the result of removal of price and

ne said, had declined as much as ~
per cent wholesale, without the retail
