hearted, luke-warm fashion. Any Christian ought to live these days in travail of soul, with the burden of his fellows suffering and the sin of the world on his heart. We ought to begin to try to live so that by some miracle of grace someone might say of us that we are the messengers of the churches and the glory of Christ. This is no time to take our patriotism or our religion for granted. Surely we must try tc rise to higher things.
 This last week read Look by my friend, Dr. Chalmers of Broad way Tabernacle, a book entitled, "The Commonplace 'Prodiga1 There is good deal in that title. There is the suggestion that most of us ought not to think of the Prodi- gal Son in terms of riotous living. The most of us haven't any taste for that kind of thing. It would bore us to tears. We are commonplace prodigals. We are respectable, stale, uninteresting and unprofita- ble Christians to an alarming de- gree. No one would be likely by any stretch of the imagination to call us the glory of Christ. And that's the pity of 1t! Let's try again, let's begin again, today!

 REHEARSAL HELD
Big Event Scheduled for Thursday Night; Water-
 cade Dates Set

A joint rehearsal of the park de- partment's Combined Circus was held this morning at the Municipal Stadium. Elephants, ponies, clowns, cowboys and all were sent through their paces as the ironing out ''pro- cess for smooth performance on Thursday night at Hamilton park was begun. The Circus is one of the most pretentious summer programs ever attempted by the park de- partment and promises to eclipse all previous pageants and festivals.
 For the past five weeks the youngsters have been rehearsing their "bits" and making costumes. The supervisors themselves have been constructing the animals" under the direction of George Lar rivere, foreman at Chase parks re- pair shop.
 Hamilton park will be the scene of much concentrated activity the next few days as Bill Coss and his assistants make ready for the "big show" The performance will be held Thursday night on the field starting at 730 and will necessitate the installation of special lighting facilities.
 The Hamilton park pavilion will be converted into one large ex- hibit of the handcraft accomplish ed by the youngsters on the play grounds during the summer, while the "side-show," supplement of the circus will possibly be staged in the garden adjoining the pavilion.

You can judge mans character by his loyalty to his friends" stated Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, pastor of the Second Congregational church, in his sermon yesterday morning entitled "The Glory Road"
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 Deliver us from the man who be- trays his friends with faint praise or having used them to his own per- sonal advantage, replaced them with other men who seem better able to serve his present purposes. Abraham Lincoln was never too busy to see his old friends, men and women who had stood by him in the days when many accounted Abe Lincoln of Illinois a failure. In high office Abraham Lincoln was loyal to his friends. Yes, he was loyal even to his enemies, to men who would have betrayed him, who intrigued against him while holding office by his ap- pointment. Generous in his praise, faithful in his affection, great heart ed and understanding in his deal- ings with all men, the Great Eman- cipator's homely, awkward figure looms ever larger on the horizon of American history.
 And now let me bring this story down to date. We live in dark days. The foundations of modern civiliza- tion are shaken. In some lands those foundations are crumbling away. The future looms dark and forbidding for hundreds of millions of people. A few weeks since I saw visitor at the Worlds Fair wearing button on which I read the words: T have seen the future" am not so sure! It all depends. These mechanical triumphs which high light the Worlds Fair do not guar antee our future happiness or peace. An old order is passing away, world revolution is on the march. A civili- zation is always a brittle thing and European civilization is in deadly peril.
 What of the church in these days and what of the rank and file of the church? If you have ever read church history you will know that on many occasions the Christians have proved their worth and strength in just such times as these. It is the faithful people of the churches who have kept hope and courage alive when all earthly help seemed to fail. It has been the Chris tian faith which has served to bring men and women through the dark days and given them victory over the powers of this world. Not only the great and famous, but the hum ble and the unknown, have proved to be "the glory of Christ" That surely is our calling in these days. As was said by speaker on the radio, '"This is a bad time to be apathetic about religion! Indeed I am under deep conviction that there never was day in our life times when it was more dangerous to be apathetic about religion.
 On a summer Sunday and with our common sense of horror and be- wilderment as we contemplate the woes of our world, believe that you will be relieved if the preacher fails to attempt to set the world right in all its national and international relations. if he freely admits that he cannot see the picture. What he does see, quite clearly, is our indi- vidual Christian call and calling. The destinies of nations are not in our hands but our own souls and our own churches are in our keep ing. And surely no Christian with any limited sense of responsibility dare feel that he ought to go on living the Christian life in a half
