SECRETARY HILL SPEAKER
AT '. M. c. A. SUNDAY

AT \. NJ. C. A. sLNDA1
 The program of the Y. M. C. A. mems rally Sunday afternoon consisted of music by Swahns orchestra, singing of popular hymns, prayer and scripture reading. and a brief talk by Secretary Edwin Hill
 The speaker took for the topic, How Can I Know That I Am Christian Man? In part he said, There are cer- tain tests by which, may know whether or not l am Christian. One of the vi- tai tests is love; first love to God and the love to man. It is possible for me to love men and be kind to them, and at the same time not to love God as l l should, but if I love God first as I should I will naturally love my fellownan. We are not Christians because We love oth- CTS, but we love others because we arc Christians.
 Obedience Is another test of a Chris tian life. John tells us not to love in word but in deed. I am not a soldier | because l say I am, but because I am i ready to obey whatever the orders am not an American, because I say am, but because I will live and die fol the ideals of America: so in religion. am not a Christian because I say so, but | because l obey the teachings of Jesus Christ. Faith is another important test ] we are tolu that without faith, it ii l impossible to please God and so it is Business is largely done on faith; W, place great faith in our fellowmen bu too often we lose faith in God: we re along all right when the weather is fai 1 nour experience, but when the darl hours, and the problems of life come.
