"SCHOOL OF CHRIST" SUBJECT OF SERMON
 BY DR. MACSPORRAN

sToday's social unrest Is due very largely to our lack of good man ners." declared pr. John A. Mac Sporran at the morning service at the First Presbyterian church Sun day True manners are of the heart. And if men would have less difficulty in living with each other they need the school and teaching of Christ"
 Continuing, he said. in part: "One of the surprising and baffling things about Christianity to many people is that what appeals to one generation fails completely with the next. The predominant interest and motive is continually shifting. What excited our fathers leaves us cold. The older methods of evangelization no longer work except in the more backward communities. The old way of preach ing no longer grips an audience. And the older people wag their heads despairingly over this, while the younger are confused, perplexed- and feel no urge or response.
 What does this gulf mean? Only this: that there are twelve gates into the four-square city of God. Each generation enters by Its own gate. but each leads to the throne of grace. God loves variety. He keeps His children on the march. It Is easy, then, for us to discover whae Is the best gate for our day.
 You find it by asking, What Is the dominant hope and interest to- day?' And the answer Is. education. Schools and colleges are swamped. We are all determined to get an education. As people we are so o rx1ht Ca h.k rifice for it. True, some of 1t is for selfish, sordid ends, but there Is something deeper and better in this quest. There is genuine hunger for culture. real culture: not the dilettante stuff we hear affected, but something far more thorough going and radical than that.
 But great change has come in America. We want something. Un- til recently we were proud of our crudeness, our vulgarity. We looked down on those who really loved poetry. art, the finer things. We took pride in being practical That was the day of the country's youth. Now we know better. We have come to ourselves as others see us and as we would like to be. The result of the old scheme was men who knew how to get money but not how to use It.
 We want school that will pro- duce character and personality. That Is at the root of seeking education. Colleges alone won't produce 1t. And that leads up to this: Christ's invi- tation Come unto Me and learn It is to everyone, high and low. It is a school that will give the culture of Jesus Christ: manhood. character. personality are it's attributes. When before"

scores street Dance


 The street dance in Bessemer last night, held as a closing feature of Armistice Day anniversary celebra- ton, was scored by Rev. l.. F. Stan sell in his morning sermon at the First Methodist church Sunday.
 The minister declared that the dance was 8 disgrace to the city and no fitting part of celebration of the day, and approval of his state ments was expressed from the con gregation by numerous "amens" from different parts of the church. He expressed his satisfaction at the ac- tion of the board of stewards of the church in voting against the dance being held.
 This was the last sermon which pr. Stanseli will preach as pastor of the church and at the close of the morning service. which was concluded with the rites of baptism, practically every member of the large congre- gation went up to say words of fare well to him.
 Dr. Stansell will have charge of the First Methodist church in Jasper and with his family will leave soon for that city.

1t is further pointed out that the

ignored. In addition it is said that
even the Ottawa members are inclined
to agree with the Quebec group, and
that both blocks nre essential to the
program in Parliament Of the Liberals.
Another curious development accord
ing to the unofficial reports reaching
Washington from Canada, is that Mac

There are those here who are wonder
ing if the Premier, who is represented
as being one of the cleterest and most

attempt to play reel procity against the

is the more interesting because 1T is

to Canadian reciprocity, and in which
