REAL BROTHERLY UNITY
 WOULD SOLVE PRORL FMS

Rev. M. Mclean Goldie at the Sum- day afternoon meeting for men in uni form at the Y. M. c. A. took for his text the 25th vercse- of the 12th cha pter of First Corinthians, That there should be no schism in the body; but mat the members should have the same care one for another." The big problems facing our country today will only be solved by a getting together of factions in real brotherly unity. he sald Jesus Christ has pointed the way and though we cannot hone to ever have perfect government and our ideals will always be ahead of our realization, it is through his teachings that we will approach the ideal. It is the duty of individuals to throw their best into the fight for better condi- tlons When men become united and do away with schisrns and work for the good of each other as the members of a strong body working for the good of that body there will be a big gain in the direction of realizing our ideals and the solving of the big problems facing our country today
