Cunningham Supplies the Pulpit at Central At the Sunday eyening service at the Trinity M. E. cfurch, Rev. Fred- erick W. Coleman spoke on the De- ceptions of Prosperity. His text was taken from Rev. 3; 17: “Because Thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind ang naked—" He said in part: The days of greatest material prosperity are the days of poverty of the soul. It has been so in the history of our own church; in'the days of the great- est material success has been the least real progress and in the days of ma- terial poverty has come the greatest good influence. The days of greatest spiritual power were the days when in ail England and Ameriea there was not a Methodist church the equal of this ong here, when the preachers were pogrly paid, or not paid at all. People say that with a fine church, a fine choir and a highly paid ister, the public will give its support and. attend services. But as a matter of fact the greatest good is accom- ished by the small, poor churches. is not the church, the machinery the church, which we need, but something beneath the material, the power of the spirit. The world is o pleasant place in which to live, with modern comforts and conveniences. The inventions and discoveries of the past fifty years have made us rich, comparea wrma our fathers. This a rich world today and I' have no ear for the man who s of the “good pld davs. There vere mever better days than these. Riches Religion's Foe. Some say that we camt expect the poor and needy to heed' religion but ther more_ religion | here than amongst the rf Tt is not the need of material things which keeps peo- ple from goodness; riches kee ligion. The need of a mis ifth avenue is just as great as in the lower parts of New York. Man starts out in a humble position, and a good Christian. He becomes pros- perous, and he or his wife or his nily, feel that they must leave the church of his fathers because it is not igh toned enough. In times of ma- nd we are enjoy- present, the satis- ction of the needs of the body, takes e feeling of the needs of the tional calamity would d and to a realization of the spiritual life. we don't think about thi: of our material. prosperity, hid- the insolvency of the soul in out- vard appearances, as a business man olvency by brilliant out- deceive others our prosper- Though we have appearance, in the. y is not e good outward soul we are miserable, poor, blind and naked. We are decelving ourselves and if we ‘wait it will be too late and the door of opportunity now open will be shut. It we are deceiving ourselves, if we are miserable, poor, blind and naked in spirit we can change our condition, there is no mneed to re- main in poverty. God points out to you your poverty and shows how you can redeem your soul with the un- searchable riches of God through Jesus Christ. The time will come when the man of great show, envied by the world, deceiving mself, will find himsel? in his poverty; and he now ignored By the world, rich in Maeart, shali be rich indeed. Let us not boast of our riches, but take the place of the humble one, putting aside all deceiving show, realizing our con- dition, and become rich through Christ our Lord. At Central Baptist Church. Rev. F. O. Cunningham was the preacher at the Central Bap- tist church services, filling the pul- pit because the pastor, Rev. P. C. Wright, had been called to Philadel phia’ to preach. In the evening Rev. Mr. Cunningham’s interesting sermon was upon the Three Tenses of a Hero's Attitude,, which he said were the past, present anq future, all of which was illustrated in his text, which he took from Paul's writings: I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. The preacher drew a contrast be- tween the attitude of Paul who could voice such an optimistic_expression even when chained to a Roman sol- dier, and the poet Byron, whose mar- velous gifts could produce such a masterpiece as the poem, The Battle f Watérloo, and yet in the early thir- My days are in_the y leaf and seer.” The difference een Byron's plaint and Pauls n is explained in the text. What makes man's life worth while is its relation to God. Paul was not a know- nothing Christian. He carried in his heart the knowledge of why he was a Christian and that was the reason vhy he won 80 many victories and served God and man so much. All | the past that we have is the stand- ing ground for the things of the pres- aid the preacher, and he em- phasized the splendid assurance that | Paul expresseq all through the verse. He showed how the latter part of the text was a figure referring to a k deposit and urged that men and women commit their lives wholly to the Lord, who would then be respon- sible for them and would keep their deposit safe for them against that day, the d: wiiich as one writer s: is the day for which all others are made. SPRINKLERS EXTINGUISHED 5 FIRE IN BALTIC MILL Blaze Started In Upper Mule Room— Principal Damage by Water. The residents of Baltic were startled Sunday night when the whistle on the Baltic' mills began to blow, at 7.50 o'clock, signifying that there was a fire in the mills. The fire department responded to the call but was not used s the ‘sprinklers in the plant put out the fire. The origin of the fire, which started in the upper mule room of the plant,.is not known. There was little damage by the fire itself, but considerable damage was caused by the water from the sprink- lers, which leaked down into the lower mule room and into the spinning room on, the ground floor. An amount of yarn in the machines was ruined and the belts were also damaged. It is doubtful if the mill ‘will start up to- day (Monday) or mot, but an effort will be made to get the plant in run- ning order by noon time. One theory that is advanced as to the cause of the fire is that a heated carriage in one of the loomg took fire. This the- ory is based on the fact that a car- riage in one of the looms was com- pletely destroyed as was also the yarn that lay on the top of the machine, GOING TO BERMUDA. Capt. George R.

After reading selections from the Psalms, during which comments were made, Mr. Bishop spoke upon the imagry of the Bible, dwelling especial- 1y on the parables. How wonderful it was that Jesus spoke in parables, he said. It took strength to convey truth in that time. A parable compared to things telis a story and develops a hid- den truth. In your study of the para- bles find the truth that Jesus tried to teach, the answers to his questions and ask yourself “How does it fit me?" The_solo Glory to Thee, My God This Night, was rendered by Miss Jessie Gifford in a pleasing manner. The hymns were much enjgyed, espe- cially O Little Town of Bethlehem. Others in the choir were Miss Abbie Caulkins, Miss Maisie Rider, Miss Marguerite Wulf, Miss Marion Beebe, with Mrs. Dawley at the piano. SECOND HANDSOME COTTAGE Being Completed for John W.

To stand beneath the Toof which has sheltered more genera- tions than one knows, Teaching away back into time, if one has an imagina- | tion, he is inspired with awe and sees | again the spirits of the past people |the house. As we gaze on the walls | bullt ere we even entered the world we feel a respect for the hands which i made them, long since passed through | the short cycle of dust to dust. It is something of this awe and respect which we should feel today for the old- est house in the world. This house is a house not built by hands. Some think of it as the human body. If we | could discover the skeleton of the first {man we would have the beams and timbers of the oldest material house in the world, built by God to house the human soul. But the buman body is, after all, | temporary, impermanent, of rough con- structon, the frame or scaffolding in- {side which -is built the real oidest | house in the world. The mason fash- | fons 2 mould,into which the cement for the walls is poured, and when the work is finished he removes the rough leaves the smooth and lasting cement. Thus it s not simply our body for which we have this feel- | ing. We should have reverence for the body as that in which the spirit of God dwells, but the eternal structure is | the soul, which is being built up in levery man. The body is merely the mould inside of which is being shaped the house which has been in process 1 of construction ever . simce the - first man. The spiritual part of us, the im- perishable, was not begun at the hour of our birth, but has been passed on from life to life since God first took the lump of clay and fashioned man And this will endure when the mould, the body, falls away. Old us'is this house it will be still older, it will endure, and we can add something to it. Every old structure boards, and ed, added to, and before passing on this oldest house in the world-we may add to it something of beauty, of val- ue, of help, something inviting’ to those who shall come after. The immortal soul of man, built up through the oternal ages, shail stand forth eternal, the one time only house, the house of our Father, and this should give us the reverence, the re- spect and the awe which we feel as we gtand in the great cathedral of fu- rope of in the anclent dwelling of our own country, on the floor worn by many who have lived and loved and suffered, and have gone on before, FIRST DIVISION OFFICERS.
