At the First fCongregat tiona1 church Sunday morning it was an appreciated privilege to hear Rev. pr. Myers, pro- lessor at Hartford Theological semi- nary. The close attention of the au- dience was held as he spoke from the text For the Jews require a sign and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews stumbling block and unto the Greeks foolishness. The characteristic of the signs of the power of God. he said. The Greeks had a wonderful philosophy they were unknowingly seeking the wisdom of God. Paul knew he had in Christ what Jews and Greeks needed, yet he found as he preached to them that to the Jews Christ was stum- bling block and to the Greeks foolish ness.
 Today the church has stronger power and place than ever in the worlds history. Gods power and wis dom are seen in the little things of life. It is a great gospel to know that God visibiy steps into a crisis; it is greater to know that He is with us day by day. It is easy to trust God when things are going well: in the dark day: what then? God can make our faith in Him triumphant over wha tever comes This is a day when we must take the cross as our symbol of service to our fellow men.
