the chuch and Christianity todaythC speaker continued, You send your goods for money you have never seen, you send your money for goods you have never seen Why' Because you have faith in some one, You must have faith i'm the church, also. Have we got a gospel that Is big enough for Wall street for Washington, for Lon don, for Paris, for Berlin and TokO 9 What IS the supreme task Of the Chris tan church2 Most of you have spent 30, 40 or 5o years Of your life chas- ing the almighty dollar, What have you got 10 show for it2 Statistics show that Go per cent of the people over 60 years of age are being sup ported by their children or the state"
 Service in Politics,
 These are the days when men seem 10 hc trying for political positions, Somebody must have the political po- sltions. IT you are going into poll ties for what you can get out Of 1t for yourself the chances are against you. Washington is called the city of broken hearts. When Henry Clay left Washington he said, "I go home to my family for the peace and comfort have not found here" Abraham Lincoln said. "If, to be the head Of hell is as hard as what l have suffer- ed every day then l could find it in my heart to pity the devil" Roose- welt said, "They shout for me but they don't vote for me" l am satis- fled that the last man who left the White House did so with heavy heart
 The Eternal Organization.
 The speaker gave an amusing de- scription of a man entering a hypo- thetical secret organization, where he was compelled to give a password at an outer door, a different password at an inner door, and then was ushered into large room where the grand mogul sat with q ChapeauX on his head and enough high sounding titles to make an African chieftain turn yellow with envy. T have nothing to say against these organizations" he said, but the very books your titles are written upon will crumble to dust in time. Give yourself to the church of the living God that is the only organization that will stand"
 Scoiiers ts. Consistency
 In telling of how the light of the Christian church would burn un- dimmed before the living God when the planets have marched to their burial along the milky way and the lights of the stars have burned down into their sockets" he said. There never was a scoffer who had the ef- trontery to carve a dollar mark on a graVestone. He never had the eff trontery to say the things that dis this man are the things he left behind him
 Church Has No Successor.
 The church has an interest in everything The oldest university in America and the oldest university in England have mottos on their buld- ings, Christ and the Church. The church stands back of hospitals and asyums as well as schools. If the church would fail in helping educa- ton, private grants and gifts would make up the deficiency; but there is one thing of which the church of Christ has a monopoly. It is the only institution on the face of the earth that traffics in eternity, and makes it her chief concern to look after the sous of men. If she should fail in this there is no institution anywhere that could take her place.
