The proposition to prepare
plans for an industrial draft in
the event of another war will
meet with approval on the part
Of many who feel that there is
certainly as much justice in
drafting a man to work as there
IS in drafting one to fight.
There IS as much argument in
favor Of forcing a man to give
his skill as there is in forcing
him to risk his life.
1t is very easy to point out
the theoretical obstacles to an
industrial draft, but those obsta-
cles are no greater than of a
military draft. And an indus
trial draft would be fully as
much justified. - Valdosta

NEW BRITAIN RECTOR IS
 LENTEN SERVICE PREACHER

If we seek spiritual strength, I am sure we will find our prayers answered, said Rev. Samuel Sutcliffe, rector of St. Marks church, New Britain, in his ser mons Thursday evening. at the united Lenten service at Christ Episcopal church. This was the final in the series of five united services held by Trinity and Christ churches
 Reading of the Psalms was led by Rev. R. R.sGraham, rector of the church, who als2 read the Scripture lessons from Jererr>ah and St. Luke. Prayer was of ferS1 by Rev. J. Eidred Brown, rector 1Sf Trinity church.
 want to speak to you tonight on one i aspect of prayer, said Rev. MT. Sutcliffe, ! In opening his sermon. In part he said: Prayer is a. large and broad subject with good many phases. I wish to speak of one aspect of prayer, personal prayer. Jesus didn't pray that Pe- ter should not deny Him. What He did pray for was that Peter's faith should fail him not Judas lost faith. If you 1 lose faith you will deny Christ. Peter lost the courage of his faith. If you lose only the courage of your faith you have a chance to receive it back again.
 Too frequently you and I let the great prayers of the church take the place of our own individual prayer. Prayer is the most important thing of the Chris tian religion. It is also very important we should not let the prayers we say in church take the place of our own per sonal conmuning with Christ. The thing we should look for is not the removal oi our difficulties and our trials; we should seek the spiritual strength to withstand them. If we seek spiritual strength I an sure we Will find our prayers answered We all hays our trials. temptations. sor- rows and difficulties and sometimes ". feel no man hes greater sorrow than Vt have. Don't yhu see how important i Is for us to go 10 Christ for help il meeting these difficulties and sorrows.
 In your ordinary life aren't there time
 when you think of what people will sa,
 of you if you do this or that, even if vol know it is right? Aren't you then iosin, the courage of your faith Why do "
 lose the courage of our faith? Simpl,
 because we are afraid of what peopl
 will say of us. We are not good sports
 Don't we need to get down on our knee
 and pray that we will have the couras of our faith? That is the great though
 that Is brought out in the three passage I have read to you tonight. You nee
 the courage of your faith to enable yo to stand up and say you are a son C God and to believe it.
 I have seen parents afraid to get dow . on their knees in front of their childrel If parents had not lost the courage (
 their faith there would be no need (
 church schools or Sunday schools Can
 you and I go out and have the couras to stand up for what we know is right ,- Let our prayer be sincere let it be fc j. strength to do right and not be afraid.
