ca ths eve of his departure for Livingston, Tenn, where he has been called to occupy the professor ship of New Testament at Living ston Academy. and as pastor of the First Christian church of Livingston. Dr. W. A. Bverhart. the beloved pas tor of the Fifty-seventh Street Chris tian church, woodlawn. leaves message to his many friends and ac- quaintanoes, which will be held in pwesk remembrance long after he has assumed his new duties in his dis tant home.
 To so back to bit of history in regard to the pastor of the Fifty- seventh Street Christian church. 1t may be mentioned in passing, that Dr. Everhart Is native of the state of Indiana, which gave to the world such geniuses as the late General Lew Wallace, author of Ben Hur;" Booth Tarkington. Harry Leon Will son. George Ade, many presidential celebrities as well as notable minis- ters and politicians.
 Grew Up On Farm
 Al North Vernon, Ind. pr. Ev- crhart9 first saw the light of day tho fifteenth of September just passed. marking his fortteth mile stone--a young man-in the prime of life. vigorous, youthful. energetic. earnest
 pr. Everhnrt will tefl you with pride that he grew up Ion a farm" --an Indiana farm, ana attended the tx hA Ifffia tv xuhInh he was born.
 Ills first intention was to be a oarpenter-and under his father he learned this trade. and was suffi- cientiy accomplished to hold posi- lions with local contracting and building firms for some time.
 After his marriage, Dr. Everhart went to Parker. sInd.. where he spent two years in cabinet shop and upon removing later to Muncie, Ind, he obtained employment in the Muncie Wheel works. where he was soon advanced to the rank of foreman which position he held for four years.
 During this time, Dr. Everhart took 6 course in architecture in the International Correspondence school at Scranton. Pa. and he has had wide experience in this interesting line of work.
 Training for tho Ministry
 Dr. Everhart received his training for the ministry in Pennsylvania university and the College of the Bible at Lexington, Ky. He has held charges in Lexington, Brooksyille and Augusta, Ky. He was called to serve as pastor of the Fifty-seventh Street Christian church of this city

and began his services October 10, 1920 having lived here within ten days of being two years.
 Interesting Subject
 In talking with Dr. Everhart a few days ago regarding Modern Prob lens of Christianity and How to Handle Them" Dr. Everhart said some very interesting things which are helpful as well as optimistic.
 'In attempting to discuss the sub feet of Modern Problems of Chris tianity and How to Handle Them" said Dr. Everhart, "it is first neces- sary to find definition of Chris- tianity that will serve as a working basis for our thinking. Of course, by Christianity. we mean the Chris tan religion or the religion of Jesus Christ. Webster defines 1t thus: The precepts and doctrines taught by Christi
 Some one has said that religion is mans response to God. Jesus, in Ills precepts and doctrines, empha- sized right relation with God and man. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind.' this Is the first and great command nent and the second Is like unto 1t: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self Tn the Sermon on the Mount Jesus taught all things there fore whatsoever ye would that others do unto you do ye even so unto them
 When the man asked Him if. WI sn he had forgiven one of his follow men who had wronged him seven times, he had not discharged his duty to- ward him Jesus said I say not unto you until seven times but until seventy times seven Jesus made right relation to God contingent upon right relation to man. If ye forgive not men their trespasses neither will your Heavenly Father forgive you your trespasses,. and He also said that by which we would be known as followers of Him would be love for one another.
 Thus Jesus in His teaching and also in His dealings with men made the problems of life forever the problems of the Christian religion. Time will not permit us to consider all of these. so we must select those that are of the most vital impor- tance. The Church and the Social Life of
 the Community
 .-The Christian church and Chris tianity are not identical though 1t would be difficult to conceive of the l Christian Religion existing without the church. The church is the agency for promulgating the teachings Of Jesus Christ and the spread of Chris- tianity. Man Is a social as well as moral and intellectual being. He craves social intercourse. he needs it; indeed his better self can be devel- oped only through the association
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-09-24

with his fellow men. If the church is to succeed as the promoting agency of Christianity it must minister. not alone to the life of the individual importatnt as that is, but to the whole life of the whole community.
 T am not advocating that the church enter competition with the theatre, movie, and club houses. That would only be lowering the dignity of the Church of Jesus Christ and weakening the influence of the Christian Religion. Nevertheless we might profit by lesson from the Mormon church and it's community many places throughout Utah. These are places where the social life of the community is provided for and supervised by the Mormon church. The primary function of the church is the promulgation of the gospel and by all means this must not be sacfl- feed to anything else. The church may, however, so minister to the whole life of the community as to augment her opportunities and abil- ity for preaching and making effec- tive the gospel message. In doing so it would take another step toward the solution of our next problem.
 Divorce

 York city.
 The Funk & wagnalrs College Standard Dictionary Is designed primarily to meet the needs of the student in college or university. Such student requires two things, as a rule, of his dictionary-first, that 1t shafl be small enough to handle and carry -about with comfort, and sec- ondr that it shall be comprehensive enough to answer every question he may ask of 1t as to the pronuncia- tion, definition, spelling, etymoiogy' technical and other uses, etc., or any v0rd he may encounter in the course of.shis~ studies. These two essentials handy size and wide-ranging vocab- ulary. have been met in this new volume in manner never ap- preached by dictionary not of un- abridged size. The fact that this book weighs only six pounds. mak- ing 1t possible to slip 1t easily into a small handbag. and that it never theless defines more words than sew erat of the celebrated unabridged volumes of a few decades ago, about ten times the whole vocabulary that Shak espeare used, Is ample evidence of the skill with which these exact ing requirements are met.
 While 1t is the one English refer ence work that every student must have in order to be effectively equipped this volume Is also ad- mirebfy adapted for use in tho home. the office. the library, the factory in fact wherever dictionary of reasonable cost and size Is needed that shall at the same time be ab- solutely comprehensive, authorfta- tive. and up to date. Those who he's itate, for one reason or another. to provide themselves with a large un- abridged dictionary will find this semi unabridged -work-for 1t Is lit- erallyi that-just the thing to give

In this fifth edi- tion there has been careful revision of the text, with addition of all available data; all immi grafton laws and regulations from those Of lSlI to the now law of Nay 1921, have been added to the appendices; ana three important new chapters by Professor Smith-Immigrati Prob lems of Other Countries.

 fishers, New York city.
 The authors give us history of in- dustrial developments during the war and since the armistice was declared; presentation. in an unbiased and on-partisan way, of the problems in the present relations of labor and capital, the principles that apply, and the enlightened opinion of different social and economic groups. The book is written with due regard for the claims of both sides and Is a con structive one. taking up such oues- tions as collective bargaining" the Kansas industrial court, the Esch- Townsend railroad act, the right of labor to living wage" the right of labor to a voice in the control of in- dustry. "the work of women," etc, and furnishes a code of. principles for the future working relations be- tween labor and capital.
 The position the authors occupied, as mediators between capital and labor, gives them peculiar authority and unusual breadth of vision. W. Jett Lauck was secretary of the na- tioilal war labor board and associated with him as joint author is Claude S. Watts, who was chief of the division of investigation of the same board. This was the board organized to bring about a settlement. by media fxw, or, ni1 ir, tnra 1f al fr+~ versies arising during the war be- tween employers and employees in all industries pertaining to the conduct of the war
