Florizel A. Pfleiderer will give a dramatic book sermon based on Dorothy Graham's "Candles in The Sun.” Across the Florentine scene of this novel pass Americans who invariably prefer phrases to facts. •Jane, who wants romance without regrets: Mr. Trent, whose hobby is the collection of labels for his baggage: Miss Mallory, who looks for beauty. In the strong light of Italian practicality their personalities flicker —candles in the sun By contrast the Italians move with absurdly intense convictions— Olno, who believes in mathematics; Glsela, who believes in passion, and Kitty, who believes in Gino. The characters of the hook in their brief mingling: their intricate purposes and counter-purposes form a pattern of light comedy—a satire in pastels. The Young People's Chorus will furnish the music for this service. At the morning service Mr. Pfleiderer will discuss the theme “Determination."

Weekly Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sundav School Lesaon for March 16. What Christianity Meins to the World. Matt. 13:31-33, 44-52. BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Conjregationalist THE study of what Christianity means to the world in our lesson is set forth in five parables—the parable of the mustard seed, the parable of leaven, the parable of the treasure hidden in the field, the parable of the pearl of great price, and the parable of the net cast into the sea. It will be recognized that these do not necessarily deal with five different or distinctive aspects of the kingdom, for manifestly there is much similarity in the essential teaching between the parable of the mustard seed and that of the leaven, while the parable of the hidden treasure and that of the pearl of great price seem, also, to have similar reference. The parable of the grain of mustard seed illustrates the growth of the kingdom, which, as we read it 1900 years after it was uttered, seems to have been an amazing prophecy. Who could have foreseen at the time that the simple movement of an obscure Gallilean working man would have grown into the great movement comprised in Christianity? Even if we viewed Christianity wholly from the standpoint of an historic world religion without regard to its inner spiritual realities and values, the outward growth from such small beginnings would be remarkable and would justify the prophetic parable of the mustard seed. The parable of the leaven has been the subject of considerable in the morning on “God's Call to Holiness.” At night, "Christ, the Door.” Holy Communion will be observed Sunday morning at the East Park M. E. church by the Rev. F. T. Taylor. At night, the pastor will speak on “The Habit of Blaming Others.” At the Bellaire M. E. church, the Rev. Walter B. Grimes will speak in the morning on "Old Time Religion.” In the afternoon and night, the Rev. S. L. Welker will preach.

controversy by those who bring to bear upon it totally opposite interpretations. The common interpretation links it, as we have suggested, with the pArable of the mustard seed; and the leaven, upon this interpretation, represents the kingdom of heaven gradually transforming the meal until every part is permeated with the quality of the leaven. If it be said that leaven suggests fermentation while meal suggests vholesomeness and soundness, it may be equally noted that leaven suggests also life and vitality. The germ of change and transformation is there, and it was this, evidently, that Jesus had in mind. Other parables present no particular difficulty except that the parable of the net cast into the sea is subject to all- varieties of interpretation of its meaning. Those who interpret such words as “the end of the world" and “the furnace of fire” with rigid literalism will be apt to draw from it something different from those who read the passage as a highly figurative expression designed to portray the

Fortune Telling A popular method of telling fortunes for entertainment is to read the future from a pack of ordinary playing cards. Successful fortune telling requires both imagination and the ability to connect the meanings of scattered cards and some knowledge of the person whose fortune is being told, so that the “reading” will make a smooth and interesting story.

reality of judgment and the opposite poles of human destiny as men accept or reject the Kingdom of Heaven. That there may have oeen bewilderment and some difference of interpretation in the minds of those who originally heard the pars.lies, would seem apparent in the fact that Jesus asked them, "Have ye understood all these things?” They answered him in the affirmative but Jesus would hardly have the question if there had not been in His own mind some uncertainty regarding their understanding. His comment drew forth a sixth parable—that of the householder bringing forth out of his treasure things new and old. It is the difficulty of adjusting new truth to old ways of thought and expression that is most acute in the whole history of religious progress. The supreme need is that we should have sincere hearts and open minds. If the Kingdom of Heaven is to us as the treasure hidden in the field, or as the pearl of great price, in the richness and fullness of its love we shall make our progress in the ivorld of truth.
