Presbyterian Church

Rev. Thomas J.. Simons. Minister.
The success of our last Sunday New
Years services was beyond our ex-
pectation. We regret that all the
people did not hear the excellent pro-
grams. The singing of the Adult
choir both morning and evening was
OF z high order. We must not fail
to commend the young mems quar-
tette Of the evening service and the
sextette-male. We do not know
which to commend the most. We
only wish we may hear them often.
In the next hour of the night-you see
we continued our program until the
New Year-our Young Peoples pro-
gram was of the same high order.
Especially was the playing of MaS.er
Russell Danberg worthy Of note. He
outdid himself in facility and techni-
que. OF course too the little girls
sang TO the delight of everybory. And
everybody enjoyed singing the coroIs
of The Opening and Closing Of the
year. The next hoUr of bible connum-
drums and the sharades put lots Of
innocent life into the last but one hour
Of the year and the refreshments and
final prayer and songs up to the end
gave the whole occasion just the right
finish.
Next Sunday morning the minister
is going to speak on Glossolaly. The
Schools will meet at their respective
hours. They should make a big DEM
onstration in numbers and interest
the first Sabbath of the year.
The Christian Endeavor will meet
at its hour, six forty-fiye. Much of
the success Of the Watch service was
due TO the G.. e. president, Miss Es-
Their Harris.
Next Sunday evening there will be
at the preaching hour a stereopticon
lecture on THE Tribe of God in Afri-
ca" This is q new lecture and slides.
Nothing like it has eve been shown
in Miller. II is the record Of a won
derful work. Here is the same sincere
invitation to come.
\ Week of Prayer Services
Beginning next Tuesday evening at
the usual hour there will be in the
Presbyterian church preaching SER
vices until and including Sunday fol-
lowing every night except Saturday.
The Rev. Paul S. Johnson of Madison,
s. OAK, will be the preacher. He is
one of the ADLER younger men OF the
state. We want you with us to hear
him every time. 1t will be just the
stimulous you need to start the year
right. He comes with the preparation
of the latest scholarship and a devout
heart and mind.

consider setting aside one week OF the
year to be known as home consump-
ton week"
Among the subjects taken up in the
address was cooperative
intermediate credits; cost
of production; highways urging COM
pliance with the federal laws with ref
erence to maintenance OF state and
federal highways. Drainage and food
control; Richards primary law, urg-
ing less time be given between con-
vention dates and the primary cleo
ton; changes in laws on removal or
county officers; state repositories;

islature by the republican caucus OF
the house. This virtually Is his cleo
ton, members pointed out. because OF
the minority of other political parties
in the hohse.

ANXIETY FOR TO-DAY

One of the secrets of success, nay a
very important secret and a funda-
mental one, is to put the right value
on things. things inside and outside
Of one. That Is to say, put the right
estimate on what the value is. II Is
another thing to arbitrarily place a
valuation on a thing. II Is true that
one can increase or diminish the value
of many things. The different COM
ponent parts of ones being should be
the first to have the right valuation In
our eyes. The spirit is of more value
than the animal life. the animal life
than the body, the body than the cloth
adornment. Think first of the interest
Of the soul and not the comliness
OF The body. Consider the true inter-
ests of the body first and not Of the
style of the clothes you put on 1t.
One can pay so much attention to
the less important things that the
whole life becomes an anxiety about
the lesser things. And thus the whole
life IL a failure, a vacuum, a bauble,
a travisty, a dismal failure.
Anxiety is that thing that has no
friends and yet is cherished by so
many people. II has no virtues and
yet il is coddled and cherished by vast
numbers of people. II comes mighty
near to being of the same tribe as
wickedness itself. 1t Is at least a
near-sin. IL does anything for
anyone. II degenerates the person
who harbors ii. II takes away siren
9Th instead Of adding to 1t. II pro-
duces fear instead Of courage. II
makes darkness out Of light. 1t pro-
duces death where there should be
life. 1t is a great nightmare and de-
ceiver settling owe one. BY II one
cannot do anything to increase the
size Of the body in IN direction. II
does not enlarge the soul. 1t shrivels
it. II will not get one food. nor cloth
ing, nor houses o fuel. .
But what are the things that will
do these things? Here is the way te
the answer. The person who thinks
on great things is not prone to anx'
iety. He who dwells In thought or
I, the glories of the illimitable physical
universe is taken out Of the realm o.
! the petty and inconsequential. II
who studies the stars is Influenced u
greatness by them. He takes on some
thing OF greatest from them. Thei
light enters his soul. And how Is !
possible that God who brought then
all into existence will not also II
them impart himself to the n WIN
really lives among them. The on
who sees the magnitude and the ma
iesty of the universe and therefor
the God of the universe and througl
a. his majesty comes to trust that In
Nnita power and wisdom and glor
iof the infinite deity and SO has hi
petty worries OF anxiety taken ava
from him.
