At the Bradley M. E. church last night Rev. L. J. Naftzger spoke to a fair-sized congregation, despite the unfavorable weather. His sermon was based on the texts, "Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee," and "Wherefore shall a young man cleanse his Ways?" "The way for a young man to cleanse his way is no different from any other man. But the Psalmist appreciated the fact that it is more difficult for an old man to change bis ways than for a young man to do so. An old man ought to be able to change. The man who cannot change is fossilized and has no further chance to build up, and there's no hope for him. "The preventive of all this is in the first text. Prevention is better than cure, for many ills may be prevented that could not be cured.

Many men are but shadows of what they might have been, for completecure for the sins of the life that is past is impossible. Lost time is lost forever. The grace of God can save a man, but it cannot restore the past. When we are wasting our time and opportunities now. they can never be made up to us. "We will begin the active duties of another year soon. Many of us are missing opportunities. "The science of medicine is wonderfully changed from a century ago. It used to he the function of the doctor to cure diseases now it is to prevent disease. Lawyers used to be hired to settle cases in court now it is more to settle disputes out of court. TI|e same tendency to prevention now prevails in all professions and vocations. This is true also of religion. "Christ's mission was not Much to save men from sin as to save them from the need of sinning. Heaven rejoices over the saving of

any man, no matter how bad. The whole city would be electrified over! certainly worthy of si-iiou the saving of our worst sinner, and '-'ration. You may not. hau all would rejoice. "But if we could bring children to Christ, and thus keep them from sin, it would be a greater achievement. An old sinner is saved from death, but the child is saved for life." "The greatest fact in the world is sin. It is the great problem that the world is trying to solve. How shall we get rid of it, is the question that confronts us all. It is difficult to cure sin and correct a life that has gone wrong. A deformed arm may be corrected in childhood, but if allowed to go to mature age it would be impossible to correct it. Let us learn from 1 nature and experience that it is .easier to prevent than to cure. Let us begin the New Year with the .'^.determination to keep out of 6ur :4lives those things which may grow ^.-inlo moral diseases and deformilies. Let us realize that some 'things will destroy us if we don't destroy them. ••....• "The great difficulty is that we are trying to keep out only the things which will destroy our happiness. Usefulness is more important than happiness. The great 7 mission of life is to fulfill the purposes for which we were created. and the greatest happiness is found in the greatest usefulness. The stillest thing in the world is perfeet mechanism, where there is no friction. And so is nature. God intended that human life should be just as free from friction as the

great universe. It is because humanity sins and gets out of touch with God, loses its proper relationship with the great heavenly Father, that friction and discord come9 into life. The way to be happy i9 to be good for something. "This is to be brought about by fixing the Word of God in a man's heart. Ordinary good resolutions will not work the necessary reform. Our good resolutions don't change our natures or resisting pow,er, nor a man's life or purpose, fully. With resolution, put something else into your life—the Word of God, which will enable you to carry our your resolutions. "The heart is the seat of both the physical and spiritual life. Therefore His word must be centered in the heart, or planted, so it will germinate and have life and bear, fruit. In the parable of the sower Jesus said the good seed is the truth therefore we must so receive the seed of truth that it will grow and manifest itself in our lives. The difficulty is not a lack of purpose or desire. Many lives are comparative failures, and most of these men would like to do better. They are not satisfied but they lack the strength to do better. "The human will will do much, but desire only is not enough to save a man. lie must seek higher strength than his own, and my prayer and great desire is that each of you shall seek for the light of the Truth of God and that He may take possession of you during the

New Year, that you may bear rich fruita«e fur Ilirn."

The Hesperian Club held its annual Christmas Jubilee at the residence of Mrs. Hiram Eshelman. The hostess was assisted by the committee, Mesdames Iduna Barrett, Clara Strickland, Willard Pugh, J. F. Mitchell, Marshall T. Smith, and the Misses Nell Baldwin and Marion Bottsford.

The house was gay in Christmas dress throughout—holly, mistletoe, bells, tinsel and ribbons. The Ilesperians make these yearly jubilees an all-day affair, so at high noon an elaborate turkey dinner, embracing all the delicacies of the season, was served in seven courses and covers were laid for twenty. The table was arranged in the form of a "Y" at the Iread of which were seated Mrs. Eshelman and her assisting ladies. Mrs. J. F. Mitchell served "Cafa Noir" from a large silver urn at the foot.

The table was beautiful in snowy damask, china, cut glass, silver, smilax, holly and other Christmas decorations, while here and there silver and gold tinsel ribbons1 and balls, sparkled and scintillated amid the green and red of the holly and mistletoe. Twenty-five wax candles in cut glass sticks added brilliancy to the decoration. Happy little surprises are always held in store by the committee on entertainment for the rest of the members of the club, but the hostess on this occasion surprised even the committee by having, after all were seated, a photographer appear with his camera and make two flash-lights of the dining room and its merry guests. The room always attractive to the eye, was especially beautiful in its holiday attire of red and green. Beautiful Christmas place cards indicated the seat for each guest dainty little envelopes were also at each plate containing Xmas greetings from one of the absent members, Mrs. Maude Rhoadarmer, who is wintering in Florida.

After several hours of pleasing conversation and keen enjoyment of the many good things supposed to contribute to the joy of the "inner man" [but which do not— a-l-w-a-v-s ], the hostess with her well known sense of discernment and tact, catching a warning note of the stealthy approach of those deadly enemies to the human race, viz: Mental and Physical Indigestion, gave the signal to repair to the parlors, where another delight-

eeeiled to transfer the gifts from the tree to the guests. Then came l'he unwrapping of packages, amid .joyous exclamations as to the beauty mi* utility of each article. The old story of the mother crow,

blackest, was demonstrated as each recipient earnestly insisted her own gift was the very "sweetest" and most beautiful of all. A glimmer of disappointment clouded all the brows an instant as the president, Mrs. Barrett, called her adherents down from the Christmas clouds, and requested them to be seated. But their ruffled spirits were soon appeased when the secretary began opening the letters from the,absent and far-away members. Greetings were received from Mrs. H. B. Cole, of Tacoma, Wash. Mrs. Jerome Kaley, of Alliance, Ohio Mrs. Maud Rhoadarmer, St. Petersburg, Fla. Miss Hannah Test, of Asheville, N. C., and a long and beautifully descriptive letter of twenty-six pages from Miss Etta Barrett, of Flagstaff, Arizona, telling of her visit to the Grand Canyon and petrified forests, and describing the Moki Indian village, in which she spent a day. Her account of a Moki Indian snake dance which she witnessed, was deeply interesting.

The members present were the Misses Margaret and Yernie Baldwin and Daisy Harlan Mesdames Tduna Barrett, S. S. Boots, Hiram Eshelman, Lemuel Gooding, John H. Groff. Alice M. Glascock, E. B. Howard, J. F. Mitchell, John Weir-

New was called to join her husband in Denver. Mrs. Permelia Thayer is with her children in California Mrs. Maude Rhoadarmer is in Florida Mrs. Forest Monger, Mrs. Edgar V. Toms and Mrs. Geo. Radcliff were also absent.

As the entertainment was in the nature of a Colonial festival, the guests had been notified to appear in Colonial attire, hence some very handsome and elaborate 1776 costumes, decorated with much "lavendar and old lace" were in evidence, especially in those of Mrs. George Washington, Dolly Madison and other noted Colonial dames.

The Wm. Mitchell Printing Co. remembered the club with some handsome calendars and motto cards. The Ilesperians, wishing to share their Christmas cheer with some of Greenfield's less fortunate citizens, had each previously sent in -to Mrs. Eshelman some Christmas remembrance which were put into eight baskets and sent to the committee on charities to be given out where most needed.

Instead of a "Christmas' Jubilee' next year, the club decided to hold its annual turkey dinner at high noon on New Year's day for its members, and keep "open house" to its Greenfield friends from 3 to 6 p. m. The day set down in the calendar as the shortest day of the year proved its fee simple to the title, as the happy day drew to a close all too soon, and the Ilesperians, ever true to their love and loyalty to each other, were confronted with the fact that they must bid farewell to each other, and another Christmas Jubilee, and as December carries away the old year, they must turn their faces to greet the young January and bear in mind that "r^here is too much said at New Years about turning over a new leaf. Are the old leaves all so badly written that we must hasten to forget them? Is the blank whiteness of the untouched page more pleasant to the eye or more fortifying to the will than those closely written, underlined, untidy, but familiar pages which make up the story of our life?"

Presented Pastor with Bible. The members of the Pierson St. Mission church presented their pastor, Rev. Scott Fuller, with a handsome teacher's Bible as a token of their appreciation of his efficient work during the revival that has been in progress there for two weeks.
