The Christian education talk was
made at the morning service by Mr..
H. Wynn Hickey, and at night by
Miss Thelma Cayard.
Miss Cayard said, in part: "In
the cities of Europe are many won
derful cathedrals, built at great labor
and sacrifice. Men gave their lives
to the cutting and rearing of the
stones in these cathedrals, to chisel-
ing the intricate and delicate sculp-
turtles. People poured in their gifts
that the work on these cathedrals
might not cease. The up-rearing
took centuries, and those who planned
and labored seldom lived to see the
end of their labors. These men and
women who gave and labored did so
that others might worship and en-
joy. Their children's children en-
tered the massive portals in silent
reverence and admiring wonderment.
The builders worshipped God through
their toll. 1t is so today. A great
task lies before us. The great struc-
ture of truth, in which Gods place
shall be pre-eminent, must be car
ried on to completion. Our chill
dren's children must be given the
privilege of walking about in the
hallowed structure, a land and at
mosphere where God and love. shall
reign supreme, and where all shall
give themselves to righteous service
We shall not live to see the compile
ton of our labors. but we shall have
the satisfaction of knowing that we
are laboring in His cause; that We
are cutting stones for the structure
of truth through the Christian educa.
ton movement in which our boys
and girls shall learn to know Him
and in which they shall catch the
inspiration of His spirit, and turf
their lives to His worship and to Hi.

1.-The question comes to you ant

ourselves, through our money ant

temple for Gods service, or are ou
hearts immersed in the selfishness o
raising pretentious and comfortabl,
structures for ourselves Are VI

work of that great building for eter

pend not only your own future an,
immortality, but that of your chill
dren's children and mine. Withou
