BRIEF ACCOUNT OF
 SUNDAY Y SERMONS

Down Your Nets for Drausht.' Luke
 5-4. He said in part:
 The two empty boats on the beach
 and the dispirited fishermen nearby
 washing their nets after night Of fruit
 less toil interested Jesus in that morn
 mg hour when muItitudes were pressing
 upon him to hear his words. Convert
 ing Peters boat into a rostrum he
 preached to them the glad tidings of
 salvation, but he felt that he must offer
 to these dispirited fishermen something
 more than mere words. So he ordered
 them to launch out with their nets for
 a draught
 With characteristic candor Peter
 said we have toiled all night and taken
 nothing; nevertheless at thy word l will
 let down the net. With sublime sim
 plicity St. Euke tells in this brief sen
 tence how defeated fisherman came
 back finding in the presence and word
 of Jesus a satisfactory reason for be-
 ginning again
 This simple incident strikingly epit-
 onnizes the whole Christian enterprise.
 When Jesus came to this world it's moral
 and spiritual leaders were discouraged
 and defeated The moral and religious systems that they championed were help less in the rising tides of skepticism and unrighteousness among the classes ana the masses. They had no great word to speak about God. they had no great hope with which to rally their discour- aged followers. The empty boats and the nets hanging in the sunshine by the lakeside sadly illustrate the futile efforts of the church in that day to save the people from their sins.
 Tt is saying only the simple truth to declare that 19 centuries of undisputed history bears out the assertion that humanity really found place and a | fp, at.1ri frac a r. nection with the earthly ministry of The Man of Gallilee.' When Jesus left this world a superficial observer would have . pronounced his ministry faTiure pu' history has changed that verdict He l left among men new notion of Goo | that has been at work and will continue l to work until all our man-made theolo-
 gies are humbled in the presence of The God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ. "IIe left another ideal of humanity thai | has been working through the ages creating the classes and races anew lntc | the brotherhood of man.. He opened the gates of eternity, kindlng in the hearts | of men the immeasurable powers ot al l endless life. At the heart Of all oui l progress in civilization are the dynamic l words of Jesus, the words which are | spirit and life.
 "Nothing could so accentuate our re- | turn to 'normalcy' as whole-mlndeo and whole-hearted study of the persor and teachings of Jesus the Christ. IT the confusions of the present day we | must see beyond the province Of econ omics We must hear voice above the i cry of race and clan
 70 Master from the mountain side, | Make haste to heal these hearts of pam Among these restless throngs abide, 1 O, tread our city's streets again,
 | Till sons of men shall learn thy love, l And follow where thy feet have trod; Till glorious from thy heaven above l Shall come the city of our God.

V The Worlds Greatest Market

;.
 An awakening China is the worlds
 biggest market The change of nation
 of nearly a. half7billion souls from the
 worlds oldest civilization to twentieth
 century standards will increase it's de-
 mands hundredfold. China has only 5000 miles of railroad. Think what it will mean to supply the steel, the bridges, the locomotives and all the equipment Of
 an adequate railway system!
 The new China will need modern farm ing implements, machinery for her fac tories, all kinds of electrical equipment the telephone talking machine, moving picture, automobile and all the every day appliances of western living stan- dards. No other country is so well equipped as the United States to> supply these needs, and no other nation Stands in so favorable a relation to China. We 1 have never sought to exploit the Chinese. ] Twenty-one years ago Secretary of State John Hay announced the Golden Rule policy of the 'open door for China. The next step was our renun- ciation of the Boxer indemnity, followed l by the education of Chinese students in American colleges by the use of this fund. The Senate debate on the Treaty of Versailles brought out universal con- demnation of the Shantung settlement. Later still on the initiative of the | United States, Great Britain, France and | Japan joined us in a consortium, by which strong banking groups are to give aid to China in building of railroads and creating of modern industries Japan checked the plan by her declaration that the Chinese provinces of Manchuria and 1 Mongolia should be excepted from it's l operation. Here again we showed our friendship for China by securing from
 Japan, through the efforts of Mir Thomas W. Lamont, withdrawal of these reser- vations.
 China rightly looks upon America as
 her best friend. Ours is the unique op-
 portunity therefore. to be the leader in
 supplying the diversified needs of the
 new China, and in helping China in or
 ganzing her industrial life.

$31,6 ,632 STOLEN FROM
 CLEVELAND POSTOFFICE

Cleveland, Ohio, January 2-Theft of $31,632 in currency and Liberty bonds addressed to the federal reserve bank of Cleveland, from the mails by a for mer employe of the registry department of the local postoffice were revealed to- night.
 Postoffice inspectors are conducting nationwide search for a man who gave the name of William Lucey, all legged to be responsible for the disap- pearance of four packages. A woman, said to be his wife, and who is declared to have aided in the thefts, also is be- ing sought.
 Lucey came to Cleveland last spring when the postoffice was short of help, and got a job without difficulty, be- cause clerks were needed to keep the mails moving. He and the woman fled last June.
 The four packages disappeared dur ing April, May and June. The biggest was consignment of $13,000, from the federal reserve bank of Boston.

Unique Astronomical Clock

An Illinois artisan, formerly a mas ter clock builder and instructor, has. after five years effort produced an unusual astronomical clock in which the earth is illuminated by phosphor- escent rays from the sun and moon, states Popular Mechanics Magazine in an illustrated article. By means Of correctly designed pinions the mioia- ture earth is made to revolve S65A times while making one circuit of the sun and as it is tilted at 23h degree angle, the seasonal changes are plainly shown. The moon makes the circuit of the earth in exactly the right lime, keeping one side earthward continu- ousIy and going through all the phases and eclipses. A large dial above the regulation clock dial keeps accurate track of the seasons, months, days and hours.

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

ONLY FANCY. They have established tiffin at Harvard. Where is Forward Tigerface, who on the hockey team,
 Would dash and glide and slip and slide,
 And swing his stick from side to side, A tower of strength, fair Harvard s pride,
 A human walking beam? From three to four each afternoon you Il see the hero sit, A teapot just within his reach, crumpet in his mitt! Where is Stroke McBrawneyarm who pulled the forward oar, Who sent the shell along pell mell, Whose giant muscles heaved and fell And finished with an awful yell Three lengths ahead or more. At Tiffin every afternoon he takes leading place, A spoon half hidden in his hand, a bis
 cult in his face! Where is halfbacll Mussumup, who in the
 days gone by
 Tore through the mud amid a flood Of arms and legs and blows and bloot And landed with a crurching thud On some Yale players eye? You'll find him every afternoon at jus
 half after three; The hand that tackled Callahan now lift cup of tea!
