BhILDING FOR ETERNITY.
New Years Message BY r. Z.
BOggs, Aberdeen, o.
9 G @ G G G g 0000ocC

| WnOS0eVer c0meth to me, and
heareth my sayings, and doeeth them,
| Will show you to whom he Is like.
He is like man which built an house
and digged deep, and laid the founda-
ton on a rock; and when the flood
arose, and the stream beat vehemently
upon that house, and coul dnot shake
it, for it was founded upon rock
Luke 6. 47-4S.
All who would build a beautiful
mansion of the soul, which will en-
dure to all eternity, must build upon
the only sure foundation laid in Gods
word, which is Christ Jesus. The
whole structure of life must rest upon
the blessed teachinge and example OF
this holy and mighty Savior. Sin must
be repented Of, and forsaken, and our
hearts must be so closely connected
with His heart Of love that there will
be oneness of thought, aim and pur.
pose which is the vital thing, for by
thus being allied to Him Who Is above
all principally and power, the turbu.
lent forces of wicked world canno'
wreck the house we are building, for
! 1t Is anchored fast to the rock O.
ages. o my dear reader, see to it tina
you are building upon that rich, for
that is your only hope; "all othe"
groun dis sinking sand.
! True religion consists in obedience
To possess the real thing in our
hearts we must obey the Gospel OF
Jesus Christ. Phillips Broows, in ono
of his fine sermons, pictures the scene
when Christ will simply remove the
restrictions and restraints that have
concealed our real natures In this
world, "and each soul seeks its own
place. one by an inner power, to the
right hand, the other by like power,
W the ieit' lN'Sc uu W hcdNtH, lheSt
down to hell" By our obedience or
disobedience, day by day, we are pre-
pairing ourselves for this eternal des-
tiny.
Years ago the writer dreamed that
the end of time had come. That SOL
emn passage in Peter, Oh. 3, seemed
so fividly fulfilled All material things
around were dissolving and vanishing
away. For a brief space Of time il
seemed that there remained nothing
to give support to my feet, while sus-
pended as it were, in mid-air, but in
little while | realized that my feet
rested on a solid rock, Christ Jesus,
the eternal rock of ages. What JOY
and rapture thrilled my soul, while
resting there on that safe foundation,
though everything material was rap
idly disappearing.
Dear ones, where will you stand in
that dreadful day which is surely COM
ing by and by? What will be your
destiny? Eternal life in the mansions
of glory, or eternal death in the re-
gions of despair? 1t will all depend
upon the kind Of foundation you are
building upin in this life. My counsel
to you is, to turn quickly from every
evil, confess Christ, ever love and
obey Him. Cling close to Him through
every trouble and sorrow here below,
and stand on His never-failing prom
Uses, and you shall gain that glorious
inheritance that is incorruptible, and
undefiled and that fadeth not away"

New York. = The night when 1920
says good bys to the world and passes
out may not be as riotous as the good
byes OF former years, but 1t is going
to be just as revelous--in New York,
at least. Maybe the revelry will be
more restrained but it will be par
taken Of by as many people as were
the New Years ewes of memory. The
hotels and restaurants have as many
reservations as they had-well, even
before the war tax went on. Just as
big an overflow is clamoring to get
Into the places which are all booked
up. And as many pleading wires are
coming In to the managers from all
parts Of the country. An extra load Of
racket-making jimcracks are being
laid In at all the dining places. Noise
and the chance to help make It goes
farteher toward making people forget
the lack of liquid stimulant than does
anything else," declared one Of the
chrewdest of the Broadway restaur-
anteurs. "And we sure are going to
give 1t to them"
Has Maude Adams left the stage for
for good? The question has been re-
vived by the opening of Barrie's
MARY Rose" with Ruth Chatterton in
the lead. It has been generally &C
cepted that the play was written for
Barrie's own particular star, and few
of his plays have ever been given first
to anyone else. Along Broadway, is
is believed that this means just the
one thing-that Maude Adams has de-
cided to make her retirement perman-
emit Theoretically, she is still under
the management of the Frohman
Estate, Inc, and is resting to regain
her health. But the Frohman offices
give no spoken expression Of knowl-
edge of her future plans.
Judges are pretty revolutionary
people, after all. Here comes Magis-
trate Mcclellan with the suggestion of
a cotton stocking parade, as protest
against the folly of silk hose. He's
been thinking of the necessity Of some
such thing for long time he says,
but the other day when two eighteen
year-old girls were arraigned before
him on charge of stealing silk stock
ings, rouge, lip sticks and powder
boxes, his patience with feminine friv-
olity reached an end. "Such parade
is more needed than was the overalls
parade" he says.
Realism on the stage? Consider the
role Of the Hoboken Terror in Little
Old New York" Tommy Houck, who
plays the part in this drama Of the
early nineteenth century, is none
other than former star of the roped
ring. His pugilistic career includes
encounters with Benny Leonard and
Jahnny Dundee and other pretty hard
hitters. He was forced to retire from
the ring because of an injury to his
right eye. So he's dropped into place
where his technique is valuable with
out the urgent need of authority" be-
hind it.

ty energetic fight which attracted the
dancers all into the dressing room to
see the mill. Then came the demand
for explanations. The aggrieved boy
told the story. His co-hghter had

got safely as far as the door. Then a
boy politely asked him to wait Sec
ond, rushed up in much concern and
plucked bunch of white threads from
the gentlemans coat. Overcome with
gratitude for having been saved from
the embarrassment of going forth
adorned with white thread the stingy
one always capitulates and tried to
blot out his past. The regular returns
figured about $40 on every spool OF
thread, the boys admitted.

Mrs. Frank Flanders has taken possess
sion of the apartment over the Post Office

War this suite has been known as the
"Service Rooms" During the active
work of the Red Cross there was no
buster place in town. When surgical
supplies were no longer needed the rooms
were remodeled and for short time rent
ed. Later Service Camp was estab-
lished and maintained as rest room and
social center for the Shipping Board men
and Radio boys from the coal steamers.
At the close of the war it was voted to
use the rooms for community work and a
small sum was charged any organizations
wishing their use. A nom -denominational
gathering place of this character met
real need and it is regretted that lack of
funds for its maintenance has necessi-
