peared before a good sized audience
in the church basement Tuesday eve
ming. He is an excellent reader and
the hearty applause he received was
evidence that he pleased his audience
very much. During an intermission
two vocal trios were rendered by girls
from the Young Peoples society who
jointly with the congregation spon-
sored Mr.. Aakjar's visit here. After
refreshments had been enjoyed, the
audience was again entertained by
seeing several hundred feet of NOV
ing pictures that Mr.. Aakjar had
taken on his recent travels through
Australia and other interesting points,
all of which he explained as the pic
lures progressed.

RADIANT LIVING
POSSESSING THE LAND
BY Rev. c. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely M. F. Church
Ridgely. Md.

There were seven tribes$bf Israel
that had neglected TO take up any
particular section Of the Promised
land west of the Jordan river as a
possession.
Calling the leaders Of these tribes
together. Joshua demanded OF them:
"How long are ye slack to go to pos
sess the land which the Lord God of
your fathers hath given your
This exhortation of Joshua has
snecial meaning to all who regard
The Land of Canaan as symbolical OF
that ioyous spiritual life which is to
he found when one harmonizes his
mind. heart and life with the Christ.
Moses was not permitted to enter
this Promised Land but he saw 1t
spread out before him as he stood on
the summit OF Mt. Nebo. From this
height he could see far up the Jor-
dan valley to the glimmering lake OF
Galilee in the far distance at the foot
of that majestic snow-capped peak or
Mt Hermon.
Could we stand upon the same
height of vision and look out over the
Promised Land of spiritual living we
TOO could see a Jordan valley. 1t is
the Jordan valley of tranquility, that
quality of serenity in which ones
spirit relaxes from the strains OF life
and basks in the peace OF God.
From such a height we could see
the beautiful sea of Galilee, about
which the ministry of Jesus was
largely conducted. 1t speaks to us
Of Christian service.
And beyond that Lake. majestic
Mt. Hermon, the mountain that
speaks of Transforming prayer.
Can il be said of us that we are
like those seven tribes, slack to go in
TO possess the land of spiritual de-
lights which God wishes to give to
us?
The joys of God become our own
possession when we daringly by faith
stake out a claim upon them.
