sermon and all members are urged to be

The fourt1 sermon in the series on the

church last Sunday morning by the pas
tor, Rev. A. C. Elliott, to a large and
appreciative congregation. The subject
dealt with was "The Coming Kingdom"
and in graphic and forceful language the
preacher portrayed the glories of the
coming kingdom and the greatness of
King Jesus. He pointed out the urgent
need of thorough application of the
principles of the Gospel of Christ to our
individual, national and international life,
reminding his hearers that doctors, law
yers, politicians and business men were
here in this world to look after Gods in
terests and to help in establishing His
kingdom The hearts of the people were
moved as towards the close of the sermon
it was predicted that time was coming
when evil would be cast out of individual
lives, national life would be purged from
those evils which degrade; jealously, hate
and strife would be no more, and the peo-
Piles of India, China, Japan, Africa and
the islands of the sea, would unite to
place the crown on the brow which bore
the scars of the crown of thorns. The
teams appointed to canvas the North
church parish in connection with the
Congregational World Movement met at
the close of the service and received their
lists of names and final instructions from
Mr.. Morris L. Slugg, Campaign Director.

The stereopticon lecture on "The Pill
grims in the Wilderness" last Sunday
evening was heard and enjoyed by large
number of people. What contrast be-
tween 1920 and 1920. How much we owe
to those splendid men and women who
suffered the hardships of the wilderness
for conscience sake and laid the founda
tions of this great nation. God give US
men and women of like spirit in these
