THE CHURCH" THEME
 OF SERMON BY DR. EDMONDS

The church cannot lose it's inward soul and spirit for worldly greed and outward show and then expect to live, was me message given to a large congregation by pr. Henry NJ Edmonds, pastor of he Independent Presbyterian Church, sun day morning at Temple Emanu-El. pr. Edmonds chose ''The Church as his sup- feet and his talk was very interesting discussion on the mission of the church and how it should be conducted. He LOOK his text from the Book of Revelations using the prophecy and warning given therein to the seven churches or Asl1' "9 the basis of his discourse.
 'aThe Book of Revelation is the breath of inc church, said Dr. Edmonds 41s Is not oniy an encouragement but also warning to the church. It is the picture of :, great battle wherein the church IS introduced as lord and the contesta nus go through trials, tribulations. dlfilcui- ties and burdens. And finally, there 's ultimate victory with sanctions and re- wards or penalties Like the individual, inc church must uRdergo trials and bat tles. and those who work the hardest au.i the longest will get the greatest reWaru'
 "Tha church stands like champloa. Tt is subject to censure and we must see that it does not embrace the tn'hES that are worldly and do away with 'le soul.

Electric Engine Wins

Pushed backward against their ut most pressure. two huge steam loco motives of modern type, immensely powerful, were decisively defeated in Vulcanian tugof-war contest with a single electric locomotive of new de- sign in a recent spectacular test at an eastern city. as illustrated in the Pop ular Mechanics Magazine. The elec- tric. furthermore. gave it's opponents a heavy handicap by allowing them to start first gradually bringing them to a standstill as the current was turned on. and then driving them pro- tcstingly but surely the other way

WHAT WE COME TO-" SERMON
 IS MODEST MAN

D.. J. A. Meesporran. at the morning service at the First Presbyterian Church
 yesterday took his text from Hebrews
 l2'22, a5, 24. His s,soject, What We Come
 To, was in large part a discussion ot
 the val1e of coming to church when one
 goes to the church of Jesus Christ, as IS
 set forth in the New Testament. In this conaecticn he said 'Strang and exas- serated as it may seem, not one in ten CT the regular Christ-loving and Christ serVng worsnppers in the church t0uay
 has clear aud deep understanding of
 what he is coming to when he enters n-o
 the house of God
 The speaker then showed from thls re-
 marfahle passage in the Epistle of ths
 Hebrews what coming to church should
 mean for every enc. "ifhe write here, he
 said, lis addressing Jews who had oeN
 come Christians and who had become dis-
 satished and disappointed with their new
 fata. Christian worship seemed poor aId
 weak compared with the splendor and
 richness of Juaiasm. They missed the sensuous ceremonial and gorgeous ritual
 of the temple W hich was one of the woiS-
 ders Of the world. The new church could show none of the solid and imposing eyi-
 denecs of success and power that were
 to be seen in the established church oI
 their fathers
 ssI'i1e whole ai,r, therefore, of this epis-
 tie is to correct this error. The writer
 argues t0 show that Christianity is in-
 finitely richer than Judiasm, that they
 lose rothins and gain everything and
 come into an utspeakabiy greater fellow
 ship. Ne are come. he said, not will come after death. but we are come now already to the city. of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, the innumerAble hosts of angels, the General Assembly and Church of the First Born, who are enrolled in heaven. and to tfe Spirits ~ jus. men made rerfect and to Jesus. the Mediator of the new covenant
 Think of entering into such fellow- ship, think of the privilege of it! This IS what we are coming to, every time we assemble to worship in his name. The room may be ssnall the numbers may be few, aii the outward things may be mean and commonplace, nevertheless we rise to this spiritual height and hold real and living fellowship with the crowdnS' 1 shining hosts of the eternal-and with the | King of Life himself That is what hap pens, may happen, or should happen to us always when we come to church. This is indeed what coming to church really 1 means n the New Testament
 After giving a rapid exposition of the different clauses of the text the speaker l enlarged upon +he message of this clause 1 in pal ticular: 'Ye are come to the spirits ! of just men made perfect" He said: This | is the most amazing truth of all-the one | the poor bleeding, broken desolate heart of the world is crying out for. The vogue l of spiritualism today, based upon this craving of the heart to get in touch witd those who have gone before and this hun ger the church sof Christ should satisfy We should proclaim the truth that heaven and earth are not separated that they are open to oue another in all sorts v wondrous ways, that the dear ones pas out of sight, but not out of fellowship.

 vinoff. Russian bolshevik representative, conferriug here with James O'Grady.
 British delegates, regarding an exchange Of prisoners and interned civilians, is much gratfied by the announcement
 from the supreme council in Paris that trade relations will be opened between
 the allies and the people of sovit Rus sia He considers the action tantamount
 to raising the blockade, and says it will
 have an enormous effect on the economic situation in Russia.
 Russia has great stocks of goods for export, especially flax hemp. timber,
 bristles hides, furs and platinum, he
 says and particularly needs machinery, agrcuitural implements and railway ma
 terials. He declares there is plenty of
 food in Siberia and other sections, but
 there is d lack of transportation factli-
 ties He urges that it will be necessary to allow sRussia to send representatives abroad if trade with the outside world Is to be a reality. and declares soviet Russia will freely admit commercial and
 other representatives on reciprocal basis.
 MT. O'Grady calls attention to the dip lomatic wording of the councils an- nouncement but Is evidently pleased by
 any step in the direction of raising the blockade He points out he has encount- i cred the blockade at every turn in his work of arranging for the transport of goods to British citizens in Russia. It is expected by the British delegate that wounded British prisoners In the
 hands of bolsheviki will all be out of Russia next week, and that the remain der of the British prisoners will be at liberty in a fortnight. Much depends upon negotiations with the Archangel government, but these are said to be progressing favorably and it is believed they will be concluded in a few days MT.
