Isley, of the Second English Lutheran church epoke at the morning services of the Reid Memorial Church on "Why people should go to church." "They should go to church because, in the first place the church is the only institution which affirms the soul and believes in the culture of the soul," said he. "In the second place it stands for the betterment of society, and . third the influence of example that the parents have over the child should make all parents want to go to church." Note 8plrit of UnityThe high places of religion, the altitudes to which man while standing! ''with both feet on level earth can reach spiritually, were described In a sermon by the Rev. A. F. Mitchell, of South Eighth Street Friends church, before the congregation or me irsi Presbyterian church. " ' rJ .' "It is a wonderful feeling to be up above the clouds looking down when they pass away," he said. "But to stand high religiously one does need to go up on a mountain. He can stand down in the low places and soar to greatest heights 1 with his , spirit and his mental vision." Dr. J. J. Rae, pastor of First Presbyterian church was to have preached at the Allen Jay Memorial church at the morning ' service yesterday, but owing to the Influenza situation at Earlham college no services were held at the west side church. ,v E. J. Llewelyn, superintendent of schools at Newcastle In his sermon at First Methodist church, Sunday said giving was the master secret of human life. 8. D. Neff spoke on the "Business of the church, policing or shepherdess." " The spirit of unity is in the air," the Rev. Charles M. Woodman of West Richmond Friend's church, said in his talk yesterday morning at First English Lutheran church. "All that we , need now is organization," Mr. Wood- '. man said he - was preaching to the Lutherans the same sermon that the pastor of the church might preach "not Quaker religion nor Lutheran doctrine but the spirit of Jesus Christ." Summing up his sermon, he said, "the hour of the Lord is at hand if we are only ready to receive him." Generosity to the church was urged by. the Rev. George Burbanck in his morning service at St. Paul's Episcopal church. "It is not the Almighty dollar, but the Almighty's dollar," he pointed out. - ' He urged that each church member given a certain share of his Income to the work of the church. In the evening he spoke at St. Paul's Lutheran church on "The Value of the Individual." "The church Is the dwelling place of God and the meeting place of saints." said the Rev. J. S. Hill of the Reid Memorial Presbyterian church, who spoke at the First Baptist church. "Unless we go to church we will miss the companionship of the saints and the benefits of united prayer." "Seed Time and Harvest," was the theme of the sermon of the Rev. H. S. James, In his own pulpit at the United Brethren church. Meetings will be continued at that church during the week. v Mrs. J.

giance at Praeue. BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets the sobsti tute for calomel are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomeL His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomeL They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomeL but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you feel loggy" and "heavy."
