TOKEN 0F REGARD
 GIVEN DR. EDMONDS
Members of Independent Presbyterian Church Enter
 Conspiracy of Kindness"

My friends have entered into a conspiracy of kindness to me and mine," said Dr. Henry M. Edmonds yesterday morning, while expressing his appreciation of the gift rendered him by the membership of the Inde pendent Presbyterian church, in the form of a substantial purse to be used by himself and Mrs. Edmonds during their vacation trip to Scot land.
 As & token of regard which the con- gregation holds for pr. and Mrs. Ed monds, the board of deacons presented the gift at their last meeting, at the same time assuring the minister of the continuance of his salary, and of the supply of his pulpit during his absence from June to September l.
 In the large congregation that filled the auditorium at the Ii o'clock service were numbers who had witnessed an hour before the attractive programme presented by members of the Sunday school in observation of Mothers Day.
 At the close of the young peoples service. Dr. Edmonds delivered a ser mon on "The Source of Power" that proved to be an eloquent appeal for the priesthood of every man, with no other to stand between him and God
 To his text chosen from 1 Kings 1S-15, pr. Edmonds pointed out, in re- vealing the secret of Eliah's success. which the speaker claimed is the secret of every mans permanent success, as he stands before God"
 "'Before whom I stand a mans con- ception of God and his attitude toward God are the secrets of every life's sue cess or failure" said Dr. Edmonds
 Tn deploring the unwillingness of people to be free, and the tendency of priests of all denominations to assume the responsibility of standing between tho people and God, pr. Edmonds de- clared his philosophy to be that every man should be brought into the pres ence of God and left there.
 I refuse to be the keeper of your consciences," said Dr. Edmonds, at the same time reminding his hearers of his willingness to guide them by way of the cross to happiness and peace through suffering and sacrifice
