Sunday morning | Mrs. Walter Price, the organist, | will play for her prelude, “Our) % Father who art in Heaven,” by | 4. S. Bach and for the anthem, “Break forth O beauteous Heay- enly Light,” by the same compos- er. For her offertory Mrs. Price | will play “Andante Conmoto,” by | Steane. The Pastor will use as his morning topic, “Great Ex- pectations.” Mr. Rogers has out- lined some thoughts along this line. He says, We expect great. things. Why shouldn’t we? Like! the old man dreaming dreams and the young men seeing visions, | ithe incompetent shoot at the suc- | we conjure up in our minds the perfect, the completed picture. We too often fail. to consider the. | means to a perfect end, the blood, sweat and tears so necessary to + attain great objectives. Too often + we are doomed to disappoint- ments. After a youngster emerges from 2 his ‘cowboy’ days, he begins to think about a life vocation. He has between times read the Hor- atio Alger books and has heard of successful men, past and pre- \ sent. He has great expectations of ¢ equalling them in any of his chos- ' en fields. Henry Ford made his millions from scratch with a T Mode! Ford. William Wrigley, Jr. q - sold newspapers, then soap, giv- , ing with each cake a stick of chewing gum, and finally reached world. Scores of others have made good -—in the United States of Ameri- ca, without any capital except a _ will to work and save. Any am- bitious youngster has a right to expect great things of himself in the material world Friends expect great things of us, We may venture out into the field of music and aspire to be a Wagner cr a Mendleschn. We must have the native ability to| succeed. When Fred Waring was @ ‘frosh’ in Penn State, the Glee Clab Director said to him, “Sor- ry, Waring, I know you'r trying but-r- you'r just not Glee Club ' material.” This rankled Fred to such an extent that when he left college he not only organized his own orchestra but introduced the novelty ofa Glee Club in connec- tion with the orchéstra and be- came the ace orchestra leader of! the country. Fred’s friends were Rot. dis inte) in ghgs success. Real success is not found in the business or industrial field, nor can we find it in the arts. Success that counts most is found in char- acter. Too many have succeeded be in their chosen field only come a miserable failure in life itself. Being human and lacking spiritual stamina they have floun dered on the rocks of material : prosperity. God no doubt expected * great things t proved a disappointment. “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and ‘all these things shall be added unto you,” (Lk 12:31) God not only expects good, but to ‘fo tell’ th He warned that men w vile you and persecute you shal} say all manner of evil again- st you falsely.” How true this is in the green-eyed-monster-jeal- ousy, that mocks the meat it feeds on.

It was con- Gucted by the National Council The seminaries included in the survey varied widely in theologi- ¢ai outlook—and ranged in size from the 13 students at Lincoln University theology schoo! in Pennsylvania, to the Southwest ern Baptist seminary in Texas, which reported an enrollment of nearly 1,900 Total enroliment last year reached a record figure of 21,000 The majority of these students will go into some form of pro- fessional Christian service The growth in enrollment is said to have been fairly steady over the last several years, in jealous of another's beauty. Men are inclined to look with jealous eyes upon one more successful than himself. Man is begrudged his good fortune by the shift- jess, the abstemious is hated by the sot, and the virtuous woman is held in contempt by the har- lot. “Be thou as chaste as ice thou shalt not escape calumny.” (Shakespeare). Envy is the arrow cessful, It is the price we pay for success in any field Isaac needed wells to water his flocks. The Philistines came along and claimed the wells because they were good to have. (Gen 26:14). Rather than strive Isaac moved on and dug other wells That is what one would expect of @ greet soul, but it does not in- crease our respect for the robber The tendency in our National life today seems to be that those who do not work eat at the expense of ithe toiler. The idler is cordled, ' the wastrel is encouraged and the successful despised. The sponsors of atheistic materialism have gone mad. They imagine vain things —that civilization can go on with- | out God. God is neither dead nor impotent. Justice will eventually balance the scales and righteous- ness shall prevail. God will not be disappointed. He expects great things of us.
