night.

A good sized Monday night audi
i ence was present at Trinity Methodist
s'church last night The special num-
bers given in the service of song were
s4Whom Not Having Seen We Love"
by Mr.. and Mrs. Conner and I'm Thy
Love-" by Miss Helen Conner, Mrs.
Conner Joining with her in the chorus.
In addition to a remarkably smooth,

The sermon was on the theme The
& Three Degrees Of Faith" and the
story Of the healing Of the nobleman's
son. was the basis. The speaker de-
fined faith as the coupling, the con-
meeting link between man and God
and the three steps or degrees were
named as the faith Of hearsay, the
faith of personal approach and the
Il faith of experience. The nobieman
3 had heard of the works of the Naz-
creme and when his son was grlevous-
Z " i'll he went to Cana, had personal
interview. Christ said go thy way
thy son iiveth," and he went home
with the faith of personal experience
He asserted that you must go your
self You cannot approach Christ by
proxy. And that the lesson of II al
is that Jesus Christ is mighty to save.
1.-THE greatest miracle in the world Is
for Him to take a soul dead in tres
passes and sin and make it saint

night and go home with the faith OF

| These mere outlines fall far short

( series of sermons being preached in
Il these meetings. You must add to
i them the strong personality OF the
I man, his character Of sterling worth,
his logical presentation of these great
truths, his mastery of the English
Language, his complete mastery of his
storic events and intimate knowledge

events.
Tonight will be the patriotic serv-

There will be some especial feature
at every service this week. Tomor-

are invited to be present in a body.
The promise is for treat surpass-
ing anything that has been given and

BY DR.. VIM. A. McKeever.
sIDAD. / wish you didn't have
any reputation. would like
to 20 out and get tough II
people would not blame II on you.p
Thus spoke a fourteen-year-old.
and In this statement he certainly
threw us American fathers a large
amount or food for thought. Now.
what does this choice bit OF youth
ful wisdom imply?
First, that the father and his son
are actually engaged In doing team
work In the making OF the boys
character.
Second. that the boy OF this par
tieular age-just entering adoles-
cence-is not yet concerned about a
good reputation for himself.
WANTS TO BE TOUGH.
Third. that the boy Is seriously
handicapped. II he has not the close
association OF . father or other
man next OF KIP whose reputation
he must honor.
Fourth. that the youth is for q
while actually desirous OF becoming
tough. Anything better than that
looks artificial or eliminate to
him. The world OF rough, bluster-
ing action properly lures him.
Fifth, this boy must be taught by
degrees to understand and respect
decency and sentlemanliness.
He can best be led TO this higher
plane through q guarded experience
OF the ,rougher course which his
heart now chooses. He can have
much OF the semblance OF being
tough without the sctuality and
thus be led TO see the error OF his
crude way.
Low EBB OF INFLUENCE.
Sixth. while / must not speak
disparsgingly OF the mothers in
fluence over her boy. this force is
at its lowest ebb at the time youth
dawns. Conversely. the fathers in
ruences Is at its highest.
Seventh, the distinctive moral"
for father at this critical point is
for him TO think OF way whereby
he may be able to let son have a
freer rein-to go out and rough il
and yet keep clean: to find out for
himself what that larger, Turing
world actually contains.
Ask your boy msny questions
about his chums. taking them up
one at time. Be careful not to
criticise these very much. Let him
do that. Ask him where they spend
their evenings, what they do that
Is good and bad, what lively
schemes they have under way, and
so on.
Go about with your boy. jolly
with his chums. cheer every joke,
laugh at every trick. pull off a
small stunt OF your own and try
to help them like you.
