Don't get hung up on a snag in the

so dangerous-it's the debris that
tclings to them that makes the trouble.
Pull yourself loose and go on"
In our judgment we must first get
rid of the eternal self; we must learn
to look at the fault wholly in its rela-
ton to the person to whom it belongs,
not in its relation to ourselves. None
of us is created perfect, and few-if
any-attain perfection. The most we
can attain is a perfect understanding
of this fact, and a self-control that will
enable us TO pull loose from the snag
and go on with the main stream of the
life which in other respects is in har-
mony with ours; not stay hung up, em-
phasizing the snag aud giving it more
weight than the stream itself. 10 be
able to ignore is often the most saw

Diphth.ris Increase in State.

Diphtheria increased considerably over last week in the state, according to the report of the state department of health, but this increase Is similar to the one which occurs each year dur ing September and October. This year, however, the increase is coming about ing period in 1928.
 Of the other Important diseases, slo- bar pneumonia Is the only one which Is showing a tendency to increase over last years cases.
 There have been fewer cases of meas les reported throughout the year and at the present time there is no indica- tion that this disease will become un- duly prevalent.

the men of the audience participated freely. Among other points brought out were the following: That while men and nations really need Christ, oftmes they Net as though they did not need him In the present time nations seem to be anxious to get everything for themselves without regard to others, and this is simply a selfish spirit and not the spirit of Christ. Industry is grapplng with great problems, and too often they for get and almost ignore the need of Christ's spirit in settling their dis putes; that the problems of industry and great national problems will never be solved unless they are solved in the spirit of the Golden Rue laid down by the Master of men. The question arose as to whether man could be success full in business and at the same time follow closely the teachings of Christ. this question was fully discussed from various angles, and the opinion of the great majority was that religion and business are not opposed to each other. but that man could maintain his Christian intergrity and be a successful i business man. It was decided that sue
 cess was measured far differently by
 men than by God: men too often meas .ure a mans success by the amount of cash ne accumulateS. Wna God counts
 that man successful whose character is Christian in every detail of is life. If an individual needs Christ, city. a [state, nation and a world needs him also too often men do not admit that they need Him, but the need is there just the same, and the only secret tc happiness Is the enthronement of Jesu: Christ in heart and life.
 After the very interesting discussion
 a social period was enjoyed and light
 refreshments served.
