DIR. f. E. TAYLOR
TALKS AT NOON
Opens Weeks Series of Meet
ings at Keith's.

"If there has ever been a time in the
history of the world that men need
something to steady them that time is
now" declared DIR. Frederick e. Taylor,
pastor of the First Baptist Church, at a
noon meeting at Keith's theater. DR..
James l. Vance Of Nashville, Tenn, who
was to speak will not be in the city
until evening, when he will make an ad-
dress at the First Evangelical Church.
DR.. Vance will address the daily noon
meetings, which are to be held at Keith's
through the week.
DR.. Taylor pointed out that that some
thing needed is religion. citing the num-
bers of business men who, through the
medium of trade journals, INSIST that re-
ligion is the only thing which can calm
the unrest of today.
"The biggest commandment is thou
shalt be saved" declared DR.. Taylor,
''and 1t is Christs religion alone which
can straighten out these tangles. This
seething unrest you find alike In the
business Of the world, among the pro-
fessional man and women, among the
teachers and among the Students
In outlining the program DR.. Taylor
pointed out that Jesus began his work
with individuals rather than with the
masses, asserting that great schemes to
reoi ganize the world will amount to
nothing.
so must the church begin its pro-
gram with the individual. We viii never
have the community right un.ess We first
have the individual right. The trouble
with the world today Is the trouble that
has always been the matter with it
namely, sin.
I'VE have gone long way from re-
ligion when we make salvation easy, for
Jesus never made 1t easy. There are
hundreds and thousands of men and
women who are afraid to stand up and
acknowledge Christ because they are
afraid Of what it will cost them in their
business and social world"
