PAGE EIGHT. SERMON EXCERPTS “Contributions from Ministers for Publication Under This Head Are Welcomed; Manuscripts Should I Xeeeding 250 Words and Should Be in This Office First Congregational REV. ROBERT ALLINGHAM It is with sincere regrets indeed that I terminate today one of the most satisfying and successful pas- torates of my ministry. And I as. sure you that nothing but the time liness of the present offer would disturb me or tempt me to sever our relations. Twelve years of residence in cities of over a quarter of a million serves to broaden ones visions and enlarge ones perspective. I was afraid of Main street. I had some questions about the commercial per- manency of this city. And I w fearful about {ts moral standards. Today these doubts and fears have all dissotved und Casper has wormed its way into cu: interests and affec- tions as a vivacious little fairy of the plains. With some expectations of getting trounced we pulled into Casper last August. In less than 21 days we were fully persuaded that there was a place for the First Congregational church. That a lberal, progressive church with the American spirit In its organization and faith would be no competitor of any church In Cas- per. And the fact that the church was organized within ninety days with the largest charter membership of any church in the city bore out the prophesy. I was astonished to find oppost- tion to my coming from certain ecclesiastical quarters. A .certain misrepresentation over an agreement between the Presbyterians and Con- of Wyoming.” that The fact is the agreement was and is “that in towns of 5000 or less they should mot compete.” I felt that since : had grown to over 25,000 and that there were three resident Presbyterian ministers in it already that that agreement did not obtain Jonger. I was compelled to inform the opposition that if they thought the “arreement” obtained under those cir: umstances I felt tha, tie “geniiemcn” must have fi First church opened its doors on September 9 at 10 o'clock in the ‘centrally located, finely equipped America theater. The finest musi- cal talent in the city was engaged and from the first day the services on Buniiays have been equal to those held in the largest churches of the land. The sermon themes were carefully chosen to give infor- mation on living issues and to place emphasis upon eternal things. Im formulating its requirements for membership the church rever- ently and calmly eliminated all an- clenf theological and dogmatic sur- plus baggage. Careful effort was made to use only the simple require- ments laid down by Jesus, A sim- ple democracy void of ecclesiastical overlords, Welcoming Ught and truth from ony source no wonder that the thinking people found great satisfaction and inspiration in its services. At present the church {s extreme- ly prosperous. Having paid its en- tire local expenses from the very beginning it has now started to con siderably reduce mission aid to its pastor. A.church of a thousand members {s quite possible in years. I am not only leaving this church today but I am leaving the ministry also. I regret it because the world needs vigorous and unafraid moral leadership. An informed and cour- ageous ministry never was more needed than now and really there are few. The serious scarcity of ministers has put men in positions of great opportunity who are tot- ally unfit and absolutely unprepared. Our cities today need great hu- manely—divine institutions in their midst, radiating hope, help, inspir- ation, faith and speaking forth the just and righteous will of God. I have no fear that the denomination will see that the same outstanding service to the city and to the coun- try will be maintained in this pul- pit that has marked it from the be- ginning. You are committed nt to a machine but to a great and lofty Ideal, let me see that you don’t fail. First Presbyterian. REV. CHAS. A. WILSON. Moses was loyal to his race in re- fusing to be called the son of Phar- aoh’s daughter. David's wartors were loyal to him when at the ex- pression of # wish, they made their way through the host of the enemy ‘and brought to thelr leader water from the well of Bethlehem. Danie’ was loyal to his religion, when as the intended victim of intriguing enemies, he refused to observe a roya! decree and prayed as his cus- tam was. with his face toward Jer- usalem. The apostles were loyal to Christ and His great commission when they went forth to exilo and death in fulfillment of their apostleship. Paul was loyal to the Damascus vision, and summed up his loya’ty . in his closing letter to Timothy. “T have fought a good fight, I have finishe¢ my course, I have kept the faith.” Christians can best show their loyalty to their master by faithfulness in and through the church, the body believers of elf the head.

Today we ob- serve the eleventh anniversary of ‘the First Presbyterlan church of ) Casper. It was organized whengthe Pecity hac 2,500 people, and with a "charter memberrhip of 66. Three Years ago the North Casper church ‘was organized with @ charter mem. s were alty % Typewritten, Not Ex- Saturday. bership of more than 200. Two years ago the Mills church was enrolled h a substantia! membership. Less than a year ago the Kenwood church was formed as the outgrowth of 2 Sunday school previously start- ed, and with a membership of 76. All of these have received sub- ftantial aid and encouragement from the First church, Each of these has justified itself in fine service in {ts community, and not one of these has been built at the expense of membership withdrawn from any local church. The First church admits new members on the simple yet neces- sary condition of faith in Christ, forgiveness through Him. and prom- ived obedience to His will, it stands for true charity and brotherhoot among men and supports every good cause, and every interest of the city, temporal and spiritual. The new house of worship rising to real- ity at Eighth and Wolcott streets will include many new features in church artchitecture and equipment in the interest of men, women, boys and girls. The church faces the mew year with a membership of 800, with high!y organized departments of varied activities. It faces the future with courage and hope for enlarged growth and increasing efficiency In rervice and with the firm belief that the prosperity of the church tn the future, as in the past, will be commensurate with the loyalty of the membership to Christ and the church. GRACE AFRICAN METHODIST REV. T. J. BURWELL “Now his windows were open to- ward Jerusalem,” In view of our general knowledge of architecture {t would be hard for us to conceive of a house bullt for dwelling purposes which aid not have a window or windows. And th’s particular feature of the art has been so long practiced that it is carried out without ‘particular ef- fort. The architect does not have to be told to include windows in his plans, he will Include them anyway, | know just where to begin the story five |ried to They were found in the Egyptian homes, in those of both Greeks and Romans long before our day. We) might say that their chief purpose was for the admission of ght and air. Sometimes the best homes are judged from the fact of the number and location of their windows. One of the most convincing truths about the Bible is that it takes lessons from these things seen and handled | every day, and applies them to the things which ure independent of either time or eternity. Where the casual observer saw the window open only, for the adm'ssion of Ught and bir; the Biblical writer saw in {it something deeper, the necessity of keeping open the win- dows of the soul, so that it might be prepared to enter into something deeper, the necessity of keeping open toward ther Jerusalem, then the best in Jerusalem will be seen from the soul's windows. It is hard to of th's n were open n-Daniel whose windows toward Jerusalem. By ity he was taken her quiet religious rusalem and car- »ylon, Where there was freely pr 1 the belief in a thou-| san the same being en-| forced by the erection of many tem- ples and shrines. What stand was Daniel to take surrounded by such environment? What stand would any of us have taken? Daniel had been taught the worship of the one true God in the home at Jerusalem, and th's had made such an imprint upon his life that nothing could erase it- So we find him praying at the open window following the practice learned back n Jerusalem. I would have you remember that those are: not idl hours which a man spends at the open window of his heavenly hope. Notice what ft did for Daniel. In the great city of Babylon it rem‘nd- ed him of the temple in Jerusalem to the one God, and this he never forgot in the midst of all its excite- ments and inducements. Following his example let us keep open the windows of our souls, so that we shall not forget our God no matter what may be our condition of cir- cumstance, MEX LEADER OF REBELS 1S NOW LINE IN CUBA Flight From Country Re- affirmed By Dispatches From Consuls WASHINGTON, March 31 —tThe report that Adolfo De La Huerta, the revolutionary leader, had fled from Mexi- co, was repeated in today’s consular dispatches from and te department officials were Inclined to believe that the story was true.

DAWES REPARATION EXPERTS BUCKLE DOWN TO FINAL WORK ON GERMAN FINANCIAL REPORT PARIS, March 81.—The Dawes committee of reparation buckled down this afternoon to the work of ironing out the last remaining dl- vergencies among Jts members over thelr report to the reparation com- mission on their examination into Germany's financial and economic position. The desire of all concerned is to decide upon a text to which all can subscribe and the wording of which will not ruffle France or Belgium or Germany. The most extreme care is being taken that there shal] be no phrase in the report susceptible of being construed as interpreting the occu- pation of the Ruhr as either legal or illegal. The British are willing to consider the Ruhr situation an accomplished fact and are desirous that the report shall not consider the past, but only the present and future. It appears that considerable ver- bal camouflage must he elaborated to this end, as well informed quar- ters are agreed that in the last anal- ysis the recommendations of the ex- perts are likely to approximate closely the British reparation plan the late premier Bonar Law offered Premier Poincare in January 1923. If the French premier is going to acceptthe expert's findings it is conceded he must not be put in a position where his opponents would be able to retort: ‘ou now are accepting what you sified Rates ‘Two cents per word or ten cents per line. s NNO AD LESS THAN 30 CENTS.

It is considered likely, however, that President Barthou of the commission will lend himself ‘to such a program although most of the other commis- sion members think a deliberative period by that body would be wiser were it not for the close proximity of the German and French elections. as Johnson Busy On Michigan Primary DETROIT, Mich.)
