CHURCH BIRTHDAY
 THEME OF PASTOR
Dr. Walker Prefers Term ''Holy Spirit" for ''Holy
 Ghost"

As regards the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit, which the record bears witness was the dynamic of the events of this wonderful day, and which is mentioned again and again in the book of Acts, we need to hesitate to try to come to some reasonable understanding of
 its essential nature," stated Rev. Dr. John S. Walker, pastor of the Second Congregational church, in his sermon 'The Birthday of the Church.. yesterday morning.
 Rev. pr. Walker said in part:
 When we say in our articles of faith, we believe in the Holy Spirit of God, and that God by His spirit comes into our hearts to restrain us from evil and to inspire up to good ness and truth" we have laid the foundation for our understanding of the Spirit of God. We are saying that God is manifest in His world, that God exerts an intending and gracious presence on human hearts and lives. God is not remote, indef- ferent, neutral but rather present, powerful, dynamic. A most helpful definition or explanation of the Holy Spirit is that offered by an English writer, '"The Holy Spirit is the name given by Christians to God in action in the world of men," cannot con- ceive how anyone reading either sa- cred or secular history can fail to trace the moving of that Spirit of God in the tangled affairs of men.
 Don't let us be alarmed by the word Ghost" Personally rather prefer the term Holy Spirit" be- cause through the years since the King of Jews version of the Bible was brought forward the sturdy old Anglo-Saxton word ghost, which has an origin similar to the German "geist" as in "Zeitgeist," "the spirit of the age," has taken on a special, spooky sort of meaning. Once upon a time is meant. at least primarily, the essential spirit of a man or Q thing. Now as I interpret the New | Testament story the Christians did | not invent this doctrine of the Holy | Spirit. Jesus had promised them a | divine spirit. comforter. In due | course of the day of Penticost, they | were overwhelmed with it's power. | They could not explain all that had | but they had to zine an l honest report. They knew. for Q | truth, tha the spirit of the living | ood had moved upon them. Jesus the Christ had revealed God to them. The Holy Spirit revealed and | transmitted to them the power of | the Christ who had ascended to heaven.

 From time immemorial mankind has dreamed of such land and such fellowship as ours-Now you have found it-and so you are, indeed, to be congratulated.
 It is safe to predict that in the years to come some among you by, your particularly good use of your new opportunities win high distinction and prosperity and your children will do noble and splendid things.
 But though you are fortunate in getting the great privilege of American citizenship so free-a tremendous price has been paid for them by others Hundreds of thousands of brave men have giv- en their lives valiantly to win and to preserve the Liberties and op- portunities that we American citi- zens enjoy today. and millions of our fellow-citizens, yet living, bear on their bodies pitful scars of wounds gotten in the defense of our honor and our institutions; and it is that we shall not forget. and the coming generations shall not forget these noble sacrifices and valiant fellow -citizens-and for this purpose one day in every year is set apart-May 30th-- honored as Memorial Day.
 Upon the right observance of Memorial Day in coming years will depend in no small degree the safety and preservation of our American institutions.

trouble seems to be jealousy.
E. D. NJ: I wish to know what
about me leaving this town? I
have been here for "a years and I
have with me three children.
Youngest is IL years old and the
oldest one is 18.
Ans: 1t isn't advisable for you
to leave unless you have some pros
poets of work in a larger city.
Your children would be more like
ly to get employment in larger
city but an immediate change
shouldn't be made. Make some in
quiries between now and spring
and no doubt you will be able to
work out something whereby a
change would prove beneficial.
M. K. P: want to know wheth-
er should go ahead and accept the
deal that has been offered me or
would win out with a lawyer and
get better results?
Ans: Take what has been of
fered you, for by doing so you will
not have to put out one cent on
lawyer and it is all clear money.
If you were to fight the case, it
would be months before it came up
and then you would have to share
with a lawyer and you wouldn't
have as much as you will get by
signing now.
w. R. D.: Will / be happy again
or will / continue to blunder
through life? Tell me if the boy
/ loved married for love or for
spite?
Ans: There is no reason for
you to blunder through life !.
you must forget your sorrows and
take an entirely different attitude
towards life. The man you were
in love with married for love and
he is quite happy now, SO try to
forget him. Your big chance will
come during this summer.
B. L. H.: DID someone take my
hair out or did it come out? Tell
me what to do as / have tried al
most everything?
Ans: That is one of your chief
troubles you have used so much
stuff on your head that nothing
will do much good. Arrange to
visit a good beauty parlOr each
week and get scalp treatments as
your whole trouble is a condition
of the scalp and not the work of
someone who doesn't like you.

government called on me and of
fered me two hundred and fifty
dollars for tract of my land In
front of my home, and I would like
to know if I should sign for the
contract or will they offer more?
Ans: The price that has been
offered you is very fair and / don't
think that they will bump the price
up any. The land is appraised and
a fair price is decided upon before
any representative calls upon the
owners. Accept the offer.

you with my problem. All of my
present happiness has left me out

and / have three in mind. Help
me, please?
Ans: Right at this time you
aren't as bad off as you imagine
yourself to be a.. none of the three
girls come up to your expectations,
so do not give them any serious
thought. You need to save your
earnings each month and arrange
new social contacts and before the

Miss will come into your life.
A. c.: Do you think my daugh-
ter should take the job she is plan
ming on in the spring?
Ans: Your daughter isn't alto
gether satisfied with the job that
she is on at this writing, and / feel
that the change might prove the
best thing for her. It viii not pat
her any farther ahead but it
will give her new interest and she
will make new friendships which
is important to her right at this

disagreed more than we have
agreed. He curses and accuses me
when angry, which upsets my very
soul, then turns around and tries
to be nice. Will it be wise for me
to go on with him or leave, as /
can't seem to make up my mind !?
Ans: Under the circumstances,
you must make up your mind to re-
main with your husband for a
while at least until after the
baby arrives and you are in a posi-
ton to look after it yourself. Per-
