DIR. HUrcHINs breaches IN MAIN
CHAPEL

Or. r. n. utchins-preached at
she chapel service on last Sunday
evening. His sermon was very
forceful. and his subject was timely.
Luke 1918 was used as a text and
his theme was Excuses for Not
Being a Christian" The usual ex-
cuses given were discussed and
shown 10 he worthless. Eight ex-
cuses were mentioned and COM
mented on as follows:
4. 81 don't want TO sacrifice plea
sures." The speaker did not be-
lieve this TO he true, but being a
Christian brought greater pleasure.
But supposing Il were true, he pre-
ferred rags for a day that he might
have beautiful apparel forever, or
10 live in a hut for day II he might
thereafter live in a palace, or 10
eat husks for a day 10 be feasted
the rest OF life.
.. There is time enough yeti To
give the nectar OF ones life TO the
devil and the dregs 10 Christ would
not he decent. No one has doc
tors certificate that he will live TO-
morrow. Delay lessons the proba-
bility Of ever becoming a Christian.
3. 81 haven't time" This is alb
surd, for this purpose time was
given 10 everyone.
1. TOO many hypocrites." A
compliment 10 religion. Men do not
try 10 counterfeit a worthless thing;
don't counterfeit a bill on broken
bank. You don't throw away q
whole basket Of fine grapes because
you find few semiAdecayed ones.
5. Don't understand the doc
trines." "He that willeth 10 do His
will shall know Of the doctrine"
A drowning man does not insist on
knowing whether the rope is hemp
or cotton. A starving man does not
hesitate TO eat till he has had an
analysis Of the bread.
6. "So much religious doubt" II
is safe 70 follow Jesus who was per-
feet in life and in precepts.
Z. 81 am afraid that 7 can't hold
out" Can't of course, IL you don't
begin. Christ has promised to help.
8. 81 am harboring purposes and
habits that I don't mean TO give
up A young man was told that
unless he gave up a certain habit,
he would lose his sight. He kept Up
The habit and lost his sight. A man
chose to carry out a vow to kill
man that killed his brother and
could not therefore become a Chris
tian.

ANTI-TOBACC0 LEAGUE

Sunday was certainly beautiful
day but its fascination did not cause
everyone 10 go 10 the mountains,
for there was large number at the
Anti-Tobacco League Sunday az
ternoon.
The program was decidedly the
best that has bee rendered since the
League has been organized. The
meeting was opened with prayer by
Wisdom Bilbrey. Miss Blanche
Osborne sang a solo which penetra-
ted the hearts OF all with feeling
Of deepest inspiration. Sam Hughes
made a speech on the danger Of de-
laying the fight against tobacco.
He brought out some facts which
were very surprising and even
alarming. Miss Ora Garden was
next on the program, and read a
poem entitled, The Bad Habits Of
Men" The poem was somewhat hu-
morous, but carried the point. The
burden of it was that we, who are
pleased TO call ourselves human
pollute ourselves with tobacco while
dogs, horses and other lower ami
mails follow rigidly the doctrine OF
total abstinence. After this, Ralph
Rogers made a talk on "Tobacco's
Defensive Program" He showed
how the Allied Tobacco League OF
America was spending large sums Of
money, and putting forth a strong
effort TO thwart the work Of the
Anti-Tobacco League. They are al
so seeking the repeal of Anti-To-
bacco laws in the states where they
exist. The entire program was &C
companied with deep interest and
enthusiasm both on the part Of the
audience and OF the speakers.
The League was disappointed by
the news that their president, Miss
Lena Roberts, has, on account Of
i'll health, resigned Her earnest
endeavor and leadership will be
missed, but we have the assurance
that her hopes and prayers are still
with the work Of the League. Bur
ton Johnson has succeeded her as
president. Miss Susanna Shultz has
been elected 10 III the Office Of vice.
president.
The next meeting Of the Anti-To-
bacce League will be held In the
Parish House, Sunday afternoon.
February is, at $3.50 o'clock. The
leading topic will be Tobacco and
Efficiency" a subject which should
be OF especial interest TO prospec-
tive employers. Watch for our pro-
gram and cartoon on the bulletin
board at the post-offlce. All are
cordially invited TO attend these
meetings.

HOW YOU MAY BECOME AN ErFI-
GENT CITIZEN IN YOUR
COMMUNITY
By Miss Elton Dameron

II is never too early TO begin 10
prepare yourself TO become an eff
flcient citizen OF the community in
which you live. Start out in early
life TO get the best education that
the public schools OF your own home
town can give, take an interest In
your school and church activities.
Join the Girl Scouts and the vari-
Gus leagues and societies OF your
home community, for IL is in such
organizations that girl can get the
best knowledge OF what Is going on
around her: and il also teaches a
girl to express her thoughts and
ideas before large groups, which IL
a great attainment. I know OF no
better thing TO do than TO have
your time scheduled. In this man.
ner one can become more and more
efficient. Then, too, a girl should
have her own bank account. She
can sell little handmade novelties,
candy. cake, and doughnuts. She
can he independent, which is indeed
a start on the road TO efficiency.
Study your community. Find out
IFS weaknesses and its needs. Visit
the school. theatres, play grounds,
children's homes and churches. Or
ganize clubs. Get every woman in
terested and then begin TO work.
When a whole community OF wo-
men are interested. wonders can be
performed. For instance, il your
community needs library, or per-
haps a play ground, or even public
drinking fountains, IL can be easily
done through the interest Of the
woman's clubs. The woman's clubs
can also set apart certain days in
the spring and fall OF the year as
cleanup" days, on which every
one in the whole community is ex-
pected TO take an active part. Get
the women together and have a
community kitchen in the public
schools where the children can get
hot lunches at a reasonable price,
and also where mothers can buy
their tomorrow's meat roast, or
their Sundays cake. Help 10 get
recreation building and a children's
fresh air camp. Investigate tho
city hospitals and insist that they
he more sanitary. Vote IL you can,
and abide by all the laws. Have az
your motto. "Others; Service"
When you have graduated from
the schools Of your home town, go
away 70 a good school and continue
your preparation. II you can't at
tend school long enough 10 complete
your course. 60 10 summer school,
or take correspondence courses. US
ing all Of your spare minutes 10
some advantage. Join the Y. w.
e. A., and engage in Red Cross work. !
Graduate with The highest honors,
IL you can: and come bMk 10 your
community TO aid your people, who
will he calling TO you for help.
Your community will expect great
things Of you. and You must set a
true Christian example for those
with whom you come in contact.
Don't let anything spoil their ex-
pectations Of YOU. Live up 10 what
they think You are. and you will
gain not only The friendship OF the
men. women. and children. but even
the dumb animals will know and
learn 10 love you. Apply your
knowledge 10 the needs OF your
community. and above all pray 20
God for The strength and will 10
serve.

DISTRIBUTION
OF IMMIGRANTS
Now Flowing in at Rate Of Million

Their Labor May be

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The re-
Spouse to Commissioner Frederick A.
Wallis suggestion that immigration
be distributed according to labor
needs has been immediate and gen
eral throughout the country, he in
formed the United Press today.
State and municipal officials, manu-
facturers associations and farmers
organizations have endorsed his plan
and urged that the proposed system
be made effective as soon as possible,
Offering all possible cooperation.
This plan contemplates diversion
of immigration flowing IN at
the rate of million year-from
the congested centers of population
to sections where there is demand
for labor of specific classiications.
This would not only prevent add1-
tional unemployment in the larger
cities and tend to reduce high prices
and high rents, but would furnish
farmers with skilled agricultural
workers, manufacturers with artisans
and so on.
Wallis said he hoped to have the
plan in active operation shortly. The
first step will be a series of trf-
weekly lecturers for immigrants at
Ellis Island, which will be instituted
next week. These lectures, under
the direction of the war branch OF
the Y. M. G. A., will provide the new
corners with specific Information re,
garding industrial social and eli
matte conditions in various parts OF
the country They will be illustrated
with motion pictures. State, city
and commercial bodies have been in
yited to send lecturers.
The commissioner is also seeking
to obtain national legislation at the
next session of congress to aid in
carrying out this work and to pro
vide for closer inspection Of immi
grants ..fv r.sg
