r MAN KNOWS LITTLE IN EYES OF GOD SAYS PASTOR That man can know only a few things and those Imperfectly and that he will be blind to the most important facts of life unless he learn-j from God, the revealing God, was the thought brought out in the sermon fty liev. G. F. Dyrer, pastor of the Conference Memorial United Rrethren church Sunday morning. "We learn that much of the purpose of God is concealed from the eyes of His people. That there is much that the wisest man does not know. We ilnd this true everywhere," said liev. Pyrer. In the natural world, in the world of science, of thought of self, of religion, how little we know ! When we come to God's word we cannot understand even the first verse. Luther said he could not understand many of the psalms until he had been afflicted. We should not, however, be discouraged nor led into unbelief because God sees fit to conceal from us some of His workings. God does not intend that we know all about his works. We must be as children and work from the point of trust and faith and obedience." liev. Byrer then went on to show the significance of Jesus' taking a towel at the passover supper pointins out that this was a lesson of service to us and concluded by saying: "There will come a time when we will know. When everything will be fully and satisfactorily explained. Just as the child and the scholar will know we will know. The disclosures may be in titme and it may not be until eternity." DISCUSSES THREE CS IN CHRISTIAN CHARACTER "The three C's in Christian character ar exemplifie! in the life of Othnlel, a Judge of Israel, are character, cunning and consecration." declared Rev. Jeor?re K. KnterHne. pas. i:r of the Quincy st. Baptist church, in his sermon on ' The Three C's of Christian Character.' "These three qualities of character are as conspicuous and necessary !oda as they ever were." j ,afd Rev. Knterline. "The mollyn.iii. i ..xiuif i.ui im mure in" a success ioday than he over was. Courage Is necessary in business, social and professional life. "Put vourage alone is often blind. It is frequently true that discretion is the better part of alor. Therefore cunning, prudence and tactfulness are needed. Finally we mut have consecration. Consecration was the secret of Othniel's success for -i years as a judve of Israel. The secret f the failure of many lives today is the fact that they lack consecratio n." The Women's Missionary circle of the Quincy st.

JUSTIFIES U. S.

ENTRY INTO I

Rev. G. VV. Allison Points Out Numerous Reasons for Nation to Fight Germany. "Too lonK have we been busy about many things with the purpose of preparing- men on earth to enter the Kingdom of heaven; too little have w e been busy about that which concerned Jesus most, that is, buildinj a KintrJom of God on earth," said George William Allison in his sermon at Hope Presbyterian church yesterday morning on the topic, "The Church and the Kingdom of God in the Present Crisis". Itev. Allison pointed out the things which Justify America's entrance into the war. He said in part: "The main article in the preaching of Jesus Christ was hts doctrine of the Kingdom. In fact, however, the Kingdom of God had been looked for by Jews throush many weary years of waiting. It was to be a golden age free from oppression, war, greed, selfishness, poverty, and sin in every form. according to their dreams of the future. But that which had been but a dream to the prophets, Jesus began to translate into reality. They had looked for a kingdom wrought by God and readymade; Jesus startled and disappointed some and inspired others by telling them that the kingdom was even then 'in their midst.' Contrast of Ideals. "There is a great contrast in this kingdom'. ideal and the Ideal of the world. One is Christian, the other pagan. The Christian ideal is service: the pagan Ideal is selfishness. A recent writer says. 'In paganism the poor serve the rich, the weak serve the strong, the ignorant serve the wise. In the Kingdom of God the rich serve the poor, the strong serve the weak, the wise the ignorant. The ideal of autocracy is organized paganism; the ideal of democracy is organized Christianity." And as an American I think each of us may be proud to feel himself more nearly than ever betöre lining up national purpose with the gospel of Jesus Christ, seeking to serve rather than prey upon the world. Iloasons for War Many. "And while all war is terrible, and this one especially so. yet I think j the purposes which call u.s to resist ance and even aggression are holy and righteous. As I conceive it here are some of the reasons why we as a Christian nation ought to oppose the paganism expressed in these acts by our foes: The invasion of neutral Pelgium, the ravishing of Pelgian women, shooting of Kdith Cavell and Capt. Fryatt, enslavement and deportation of the Pelgian civilian population, sinking neutral vessels without warning or provision tor the safety of passengers and crew, devastating evacuated territory beyond all possible military excuse, robbing safes and banks of bonds, stocks, mortgages, records, etc., of no value to either side during war, shooting into unfortified cities from sea and air killing non-combatants, sinking lied Cross hospital and supply ships, laing mines promiscuously in the open set. inoculation of French prisoners with tuberculosis, and using their own embassy in our country as a center from which to destroy our factories, warehouses, and transportation facilities and in the meanwhile plotting our destruction while playing up their protested friendship! I Ionic IroblciiiN AI. "The enemies' national philosophy seems to be the 'will to power' without scruple. Jesus' ideal is the 'will to service.' Put even the crushing of the imperial militaristic program will not bring in the kingdom. We must purge our own citizenship as well of selfishness. We must see that the strong serve the weak, the rich serve the poor, and the wise invest their knowledge for the sake of the ignorant, following Jesus dictum retrardinp the kingdom of heaven where 'He shall be greatest amona: von who i servant of all.' We pray freiuentlv enough for the coming of this kingdom, let us translate our prayers into effort to brinsr the kingdom into men's lives and the institutions of society." FATHER McGINN SPEAKS TO SINAI SOCIETY Rev. John McGinn. C. C. professor of sociology and ethics at Notre Dame, adilrexsed the Pinai society at its meeting Sunday afternoon at the Oliver hotel. Itev. McGinn discussed a number of present day social and economic problems. The entertainment program included a piano solo by Miss Florence Gross, a vocal solo by Miss Jane Simon, accompanied by Fsther Abrams. and a reading by Miss M. La Polk of Chicago. A special meeting will be held Sunday for the purpose of selecting delegates to represent the Sinai society at the American Jewish congress in Washington. May 17. At the same meeting a Zionist societv will be organized. Arrangements will also be made for the rir.al affair of the season by the Sinai society, a dance at the Oliver, May 9. Pr. P. K.

ü Rev. VV. H. Freshley Says Most Homes Only Place to Eat, Sleep and Growl. "Most modern homes are merely a place for the boy to eat. sleep and growl," declared Rev. W. II. Freshley, pastor of the Fiist Fvanfcelical church, in his sermon at the special services Sunday morning at the church for the boys and girls. Rev. Freshley discussed the influence ,if the home and church upon the boy nnd nirl. "of the three institutions responsible for the education of our boys and girls, the church, the school and the home, the greatest is tho borne," said Rev. Freshley. "The home is the basis of the community. Community life ries to the highest or sinks to the lowest, acc ording to home conditions." To substantiate his statement about tiie failure of the parents in many modern homes to properly rear their children. Rev. Freshley quoted statistics to the effect that in 500 cases of juvenile delinquency examined in San Francisco, all but 1 If were due to parential neqlect. Why Hoys Go Wrong. "Hoys don't go to the devil because they have any special liking for the devil, but because the devil's crowd pays the most attention to them," said Itev. Freshley, quotin? Dr. Hardeman. Continuing he pointed out that if the boy and i;irl are to become full rounded out adults care must be taken to develop their spiritual, physical, social ami intellectual powers. "If the physical strength is developed alone the child becomes a brute, if the intellectual is developed alone it becomes a fool and if the social is developed alone it becomes a mollycoddle," he said. "Churches are not built and organized in a way to attract or supply the need of the boy and girl," continued the speaker, and in conclusion he pointed out the important part that the church can play in caring for the children and stated that criminals generally begin their career of crime at about the a?e that the average boy quits going to Sunday school. URGES MORE FAITH IN POWER OF THE GOSPEL "Africa for Christ" was the theme of a missionary sermon preached last evening at St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church by Rev. James L. Gardiner, I). D. The sermon was followed by pictures of "The City of Cairo" and "The Tip of the Dark Continent." Ir. Gardiner in part said: "In the year 1909 there was held in Edinburgh. Scotland, the greatest missionary conference that the world has ever known since the stirring days when the church at Antioch sent Saul and Parnabas forth on their first missionary journey. Representatives were there from every evangelical church in the world. They, one and all laid arlde there differences in creed and theology, in a common effort to answer the great question 'How shall we reach the heathen world?' It was as John R. Mott said 'The decisive hour in the history of Christian missions'. "Xow about 19 centuries have come and gone since Jesus Christ sahl to His disciples 'Go ye into all the world and preach my gospel to every creature' and yet that missionary conference discovered that only about one-third of the world had been won to Christ. Among the people who have as yet been practically unreached are to be found the teeming millions of Africa. And why is it that we have as yet not reached the millions in the dark continent? There are many reasons but there is one that lies at the very heart of our apathy. It is this. We have lacked a vital faith in the power of the Gospel to save the people of Africa. "What is the secret of the missionary impulse at home or abroad? It is a belief in the Gospel of the Son of God. It is a belief that Jesus Christ has power not only to forgive sin but that he has power to transform human lives. The early church was a missionary church but it was first an evangelical church. It was first a church that believed in the power of the Gospel and Impelled with this faith went forth to preach the Gospel to others. The greatest need of the church today, if it would reach the millions of Africa is this a vital faith in the Gospel of the Sm of God, 'That He is tho propitation of our sins nnd not of ours onlv but of the sins of the whole world.'
