"GREAT EXPECTATIONS"
 SERMON DR. MacSPORRAN

Great Expectations" was the theme of a strong sermon preached yesterday morning at the First Presr byterian church by pr. J. A. Mac Sporran, pastor.
 Dr. MeSporran's sermon a few Sum days ago was filled with the sense of the journeying Of life, and his message yesterday morning was equally filled with the ceaseless searching for something that all men feel while on that Journey.
 And that something" he said, "is deeper than love or happiness. It is for some universal thing, something that organized religion ought to give, yet frequently does not. It is the search for light, revealing God, a seeking for & home for the spirit, for a city that hath foundations.'
 He pointed out that people come to the church, yet may miss the bread that they crave. But true religion, whenever adequately pre- scented, truly interpreted, does meet this need, is what we are ell look ing for" he declared.
 He explained that in the great ex- pectations of Gods people were two great things. First, the hope of the coming of the Lord. "The early Christians" said Dr, MacSporran, looked for Him in the final, wind ing-up sense; the judgment sense, with some attendant dread and fear. Ii was unreal, unrelated. But what we must learn and know is that the Lord is always at hand We have the sense of fulfilment .. This is our present business, 8 condition al- ready existent. We are to be ready. eager. equipped, believing it already here"
 Speaking of how Christians must learn the. limitations of money; of how money cannot buy the invisible things, and of how money cannot operate in the things of the spirit, which Is the place where the prin- ciples of democracy all really opef- ate, the minister came on to the sec- ond great expectation.
 "As life goes on," he said, Tt will get better" He entrusted the visw of many that all of joy was in youth. With them is the fear that the fu- ture life will be an anti-climax, that they will have already tasted of the deepest joys before they come to it.
 He dwelt again on how we do not know what God has planned for us. But the glories are all ahead. Al ways the best is to come because of Him who is with us and the iourneyfs endib

DIR. GEORGE STUART ON
 RELIGION IN BUSINESS

Displaying hif old-time form and using many characteristic illustra- tions, Dr. George R. Stuart, pastor Of the First Methodist church. Sunday morning preached to capacity au- dience on the subject of Religion In Business"
 Dr, Stuart based his sermon on the parable of the rich man. who in- vited his friends to the feast, as found In the fourteenth chapter of Luke, but whose invitation was de- clined for business reasons, where upon the rich man sent out and brought in all the lame, halt and the blind from the byways and high ways of the city. the special text or the sermon being the twenty-fourth verse, For say unto you. that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper"
 In opening his sermon pr. stuart drew word picture of the scene at the feast to which the saviour nao been invited in the house of big Phar;see, showing that Jesus paid little attention to people and GUS toms, but always dwelt on great ,principles.s It was pointed out by Dr. Stuart that when Christ saw some guests crowding into the best seats. He told them to take the less conspicuous seats and wait until they were invited higher up, ratner than face possible insult by being asked to give up their seats for some guests of honor. He also pointed out to the host that when he should give feast in the future, not to invite his rich or ihfluen- tial friends, from whom he ex- pected fayors but to bring in the lame, the halt and the blind.
 "Every parable that Christ gave IS as true today as on the day He gave it." said pr. Stuart. science and philosophy have vainly tried to overcome some of them, but they are as eternal today as on the day they were uttered. I have heard many preachers refer to these excuses given in this parable for not at tending the feast, In sighting manner, but believe they were per- fectly valid excuses
 "Pa1estine was a land of a~ricul- ture and its means of transportation were the OK and the ass, and when the first man said he had just bought a farm and wanted to look over his land. he showed good busi- ness sense. So also did the next man who bought five yoke of oxen. and wanted to try them out: He did not wish to cut his friend off. but merely asked to be excused from accepting this invitation this one time. But God says Make no apolo- gies, for If you do you may be cut off
 pr. Stuart read from the twenty fourth chapter of Deuteronomy, re- ferring particularly to the verse in which 1t is commanded that when a man has taken a new wife he shall not go to war or engage in any

BOLD ROBBERY AT
 DOWNTOWN STORE

Aided by the racket of the pneu- matic hammers of the track repair gang working on the tracks in front of the Reynolds Haberdashery at 210 North Twentieth street thief broke into the showcase in the entrance to the store, making away with sew eral dollars worth of neckwear and socks on display.
 Police officers on that beat last night stated that they had noticed the display of wearing apparel in the showcase at about 12:15 o'clock as they made their rounds. At about 12:40 o'clock upon starting into the store entrance to try the door their attention was called to the case by the empty appearance of the case. Investigation showed that the door in the rear of the case had been pried open by the thief.
 The workmen on the tracks knew nothing of the robbery, but thought that 1t would be possible for a man to break into the case with the noise that the hammers made. The store entrance was we'll lighted.

MORAL EARNESTNESs
 OF JESUS--DR. EDMONDS

In discussing "The Moral Earnest ness" of Jesus Sunday morning in his sermon before the Independent Presbyterian congregation. at Tenn pie Emanu- El. Dr. Henry M. Ed monds said in part:
 This is time when there Is a lack and need of moral earnestness. May I say that I stand before a group of men and women this morn ing where there is a need and lack of moral earnestness? This is a day when people laugh too much. a day when we avoid too much the house of mourning:' 1t Is a day when we need the stain of the drops of blood upon our faces.
 We are too clever today, too bright. too sarcastic, too cynical. We had rather turn a happy phrase than tell the simple, old-fashioned truth.
 1t came He meant that it should teach us lesson of moral earnest ness. When you told your sons good by and bade them go and do theil duty, you had 1t thenl But since the war 1t has been slipping through your fingers.
 "When you and I look to Jesus and find moral earnestness in Him, we need not conclude that for that moral earnestness to be In us we need be , heavy. Look for a moment at His repartees, look at the parables of Jesus. Do you think they could have been spoken without a change Of countenance? Could He have held children in the crook of His arm? Could they have come to Him of their own accord and He been Son of the tomb, a man without smiles and change of countenance? Could He

These are just a few of the things that Birmingham Macca- bees, who are just moving their pay office, give us why they joined the organizations:

 Everything looks so pretty in there, 1t would just be a pleasure to be waited onw
 This from a group of merry girls who were attending the State Fair, and had paused to examine tho Red Cross booth.
 The girls were testing. without really Knowing that the Headquarters at the fair actually took care and gave first aid to a number of cases. Among these were persons who had tainted and who had suffered minor accidents,
 The booth was put up also with an ilea of giving the general public eAnpse at Red Cross work in gem cral and hardly any young girls, as we'll as a large number of women. could repress exclamations of how much they'd love to be a nurse," and how attractive they knew they would find such service, because it was service to all the people.
 The booth was under the official auspices of the Jefferson county Red Cross organization, and the first aid hospital was fully equipped. The workers on duty were Mrs. A. Nelson, Miss Sadie Ash, Mrs. ". Clayton, Mrs. T. M. Mcclellan, Mrs. Sid Streit and Miss Trueheart.
 A trained nurse was wkh the booth night as well as day--Miss Susie Guise. Free ice water was dispensed to the thirsty in charge of Mrs. Brooks.

large undertaking for the period of one year, but shall be devoted to his wife, thus pointing out that the man who had declared that he had just taken 8 wife and, therefore, could not attend the feast. also had offered a perfectly valid excuse.
 Jesus intended to make a point here, when he gave the three best excuses" continued Dr. Stuart. He wanted to impress His hearers with the fact that the business of the Kingdom of Heaven comes first. That is why He says If you want to fellow me, you must sacrifice, you must disregard claims of kindred and other ties.' God will not have any competition. Why? Because His Kingdom is so big and so important that He will not brook any business axcusen

have had that genius for friendship and have been a man full of gloom and sorrow?
 Here Is the secret of Ills moral earnestness: In the garden and in going up to the hill, we see a man with a quIckened) love for men, sort of h1adcap, adventurous, self forgetful love for men. He knew what was in men and loved them with a sort of laughing love. Yes, he loved the men of His own set but His set was the whole world.
 And with,>Him 1t was always fact and God. He was always trying to do Gods will and get himself in touch with 1t. No matter what kind of problem they brought to Him, He would lead them right up to God with it, and let Him settle their questions. Your social. business, po- 1itical and personal problems today bring them all and put them down before God and get His will with ref erence to those things.
 Jesus Christ was no trifler with life; he had moral earnestness in all He did. And I say to you, cease llv- ing little, poor, impoverished lives and come join the hosts of God"

 You men and women should be at the polls tomorrow to vote your enlightened convictions as to the best persons to entrust with the affairs of this great city.

 Watch out for the professional politician He is usually great mud-slinger.
 "The man who boasts will bear watching. Promises arc easily made and as easily broken by unprincipled men; weigh the men.
 Watch out for the man who capi- talizes his church membership. If q man asks me to vote for him because he Is a Baptist I am against him.
 we want men of high moral char acter. Shrewd thieves have some times gotten in office. Brilliant >wickedness has disgraced many /city, so has ptous incompetence.
 we want men of ability and ex- perience in public affairs. The job Is not as easy as some think. don't understand surgery, that is no dis grace; but if l were to attempt an operation for appendicitis that would be a crime. So for a thoroughly in- competent person to try to handle the delicate affairs of this city.
 Look up the mans record, he Is not apt to turn bad over night Find out what bunch ho runs with, who active supvorteH H Birds of | feather do not fly in different directions, especially at election time.
 NO man deserves to live in good city unless he doSs his best to help make and keep it good. You are re- sponsible for the evils here unless You do your best to eradicate them, Love your city or leave it.
 Pray for your city and its offl- cers; obey its laws and help enforce them; help make it easy for those who do right and hard for those who Intentionally do wrong. When the righteous are in authority the people rejoice; but when the wicked bearetn rule tho people mourn"
