Ricketts ‘of the Graeneville Congrega- tional church spoke upon the them YGod's Faithfulness and Man's Respon- sibllity,” consldering his thought from tha #landpoint of praise and prayer. We want something to stand upon, the speaker said, and find God's faithtul- ness the cne sacure foundation. All religlons are founded 5pon a personal- ity. The Christian religion stands se- curely upon the one absolute and sure foundation, built upon and around the personality of the Christ in its per- fectness of love apd power, The speak- er then in a forceful manner pointed out by illustration, and otherwise, this thought as viewed from the viewpoint of both God and man.. God's promises are sure; man only is unfaithful. The failure is ours. The pastr then urged those present to firmly resolve to live more as Christ would live during the coming vear, re- alizing that sin is an awful thing and the one and only thing that is keeping the world Christ. from the cross of Jesus You or some member of your family is aMicted with a slight illness and you call “The Doctor"—how many pre- scriptions does he write for the patient—three, four, five or a full half dozen ? ‘Why does he do this, an@ then make you spend still more money for some speclal apparatus that you really don’t need ? Is it not true he does it because he isn't shtisfled with an honest fee, be- cause the interior part of his metacar- pus is affiicted with an awful itch which nothing but your good money can soothe, isn't it true he does it be- cause he has just got to get a big fat rake off on your prescriptions and all other goods that he can make you buy ?
