The morning subject. The Absent
Landlord. was founded on the text
Where is the promise of His Com
ing?" II. Peter "a.
The nature and validity of the Di-
vine Title were first brought out.
Though still valid as compared with
other religious and myths of the
a%ncients, Gods claim to our devotion
and loyalty is not merely based on
the marvels of nature and the won
ders of creation and providence but
enters into the realm of revelation
centering in Christ. Gods claim ia
an unfinished story and far from be-
ing outlawed or buried like so many
myths. superstitions and speculationa
of men. His claim is still binding
in spite of attempts to- set it aside
and the inclination of our pleasure
bent and money-mad age to ignore
it.
These attempts killed the Christ.
They constitute the greatest fraud
of history. greater than any Teapot
Dome or other grand swindle. This
is the deliberate denial Of God or
rather our trying to do without Him.
AS a consequence the world is in
serious trouble today. The way out
is the same as In other ages. This
is mo- the first time that men are
beginning J ask What is the Nat-
ter with the Times?" and What
shall We do to be saved?"
The willingness to be saved in
Gods way is the only tribute or re-
turn He asks.
The evening theme who is Free
was based on Galatians ST.. The
sermon was largely a symposium of
current opinions and incidents show
ing that out boosted modern free
dom in church and state is largely a
case of kidding ourselves"
In the case of the church, the
preacher had found that the chief
difficulty in having a community
church is just the opposite of the
old drawbacks. Now the church is
so strong and SO intrenched behind
UNCONVENTIONAL walls hat the public
every day sort of people. have no
easy time getting in. The pastor
himself had an amusing incident IL

Illustrating this.
The laughable reception pulled off
by the boys Sunday School class in
his honor gave point to the plea for
a larger welcome and a bigger spirit
in our churches and for a sympathy
which knows no class creed or fraud
imposed by man.
Next Sunday morning at the Parco
Community church DR.. Geo. Bergen
will deliver a sermon entitled THAT
Little Habit" In the evening the
special talk for the workers will be
Fired for Cause"
The Community Church is fast
building UP and DR.. Geo. Bergen's
sermons, especially his evening talks.
are fast becoming very popular. The
young folks will have a Junior
League in short order and a resur-
rection of the old bible class Is now
taking place. All the Sunday school
classes ire running in good shape
and the Pastor is very much en-
%couraged with the progress. The
choir seem to be a little slow in
materializing as the singers and
players seem to be a trif1e backward
in coming forward. This is rallyine
time in all churches. why not we?
