The last in the series of union services
held by the churches of the city was held
last Sunday evening in the Universslist
church, with a large attendance. The
pastor, Rev. William Vaughan, conducted
the service and led the responsive read
ing. Rev. G.. G. Sauer of the Baptist
church read the Scripture lesson. Rev.
{. W. Martin of the Methodist church
offered prayer. The Universalist choir
furnished music and the church was deco
rated with cherry blossoms and Easter
flowers made by the ladies of the League.
The sermon of the evening was by Rev.
w. F. Skerrye of the Federated church,
who spoke on the Liberal Man VS. the
Unliberal Man. The liberal man is not
the product of any belief or of any spec al
period, but is tn open-minded man, ready
to resi- ond to new development and prog
ress. The non-liberal believes in static
faith, which once accepted should be
guarded and not allowed to come in con-
tact with opposing forces. What is con-
sidered goodness and liberality of one age
would not be considered so at another
period. The pharisees were non-lberal
and Christ was liberal. Columb bus, Abra-
ham, Martin Luther, John Robinson and
Roosevelt were cited as liberal men of
pCll lOuS uC uCCO SOu0y fS iOi
men with liberal and progressive ideas
with faith in God and in his fellowmen.
