too young last year. So imagine our
Joy, being invited this early, and by
two such wonderful fellows. We felt
quite certain we were the real bellies
of our crowd. 1t was a satisfaction,
to say the least, and we experienced
a sense of superiority to all the
other girls. None of them, we know,
had been asked yet, or even were
thinking of invitations. 1t was most
unusual! Our pride knew no bounds.
1t wasn't long after the invitation
had been extended that Emmy man

and she called me- 1t was just that
we might gloat a little.
When we returned. our extreme
happiness became somewhat marred,
for We found Hard and Alonzo peace

Modern minister

You wouldn't think of applying
The word JAZZ" to church sermon.
Yat, that bit OF modern slang is
the word which most adequately
describes the new manner, and
vcice in which pulpit messages are
delivered. "Jazzed" music is
fundamentally simple, and easy to
understand. And that is also ii
description of the modern sermon.
The old style minister. with his
intoning, rhetoric and oratory too
often talked over the heads of his
congregation. He lulled them into
Christianity and sleep at the same
time. His sermons were apt to be
complex and obscure.
The modern minister presents
his message in clear, concise Eng
lish, and in a natural voice. He
talks directly to his congregation
and brings them to Christianity
