Good evening.

old John Peel, the songs lines say, Now has gone, far, far away. Unhappily there is modern chap, With a foxs brush his cars hood cap. His car is fast and it's painted red And the sound of his horn would waken the dead Which the quick will be if they fail to scram When the horn blares out How Dry Am" He has no horse and he has no hound, But other peoples sometimes found In ditches or hurtling toward the sky, When J. Peel, motorized, passes by The time has for a mighty hunt, With this reckless driver out in front While after him motor cops ride hard And take a trophy his license card.

DR WALKER SPEAKS
 ON LORDS WORDS
Message From Jesus More Important Today Than
 Ever, Says Pastor

Space and time and distance have no power to break the force of words of Jesus," said Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, pastor of the Sev- end Congregational church yester- day morning in his sermon, "A Per- sonal Word from the Master.
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 Always Jesus has something to say!" Jesus speaks 8 universal language. He was only 8 carpenter of Nazareth, only a wandering Jew ish rabbi. He died on cruel cross with common criminals, but His words will be quoted until the end of time. He has something to say to the stricken people of war torn Europe, something more significant than the decrees of any government, the terms of any armiStice. He has something to say to the cannibals of equstorial Africa. When the great Dr. Livingstone penetrated to the heart of darkest Africa he had only to translate the words of Jesps into the local dialect to speak to the deepest needs of the hearts of the most benighted savageS. From the highest to the lowest, from the most advanced to the most back lhishavec etaoin shrdlu aoin tnett ward peoples, Jesus has somewhat to say and we must abide by His teaching. It was a Dean of Vest minister Abbey in London who said of the words of Jesps, They pass into proverbs, they pass into laws they pass into doctrines, they pass into consolation; but they never pass away"
 It does not matter in the last what say this morning. If my voice fades out of your consciousness here and now, so much the betterl The question is, can you hear, do you hear the voice of Jesus? And for what does he plead? Is 1t for sound and sincere rependence? Perhaps 1t is for new windness? Mayhap you have been hard and bitter and unwilling to forgive some slight injury? Can you carry that burden to the Masters tableP It may be that you are giving, oh so litle of yourself and your sub- stance to the furtherance, of Gods work for the care of Gods needy children. Jesus wants you to open your hearts and your se-the need in those days staggers the iln- agination and threatens to paralyze the hand. Every Communion Sum- day ought to be day of new be- ginnings. Every Communion Sum- day should bring. must bring new questions. What is that somewhat" that Jesus hes to say to you and to me today?
