Zion church, when an interest- of rare mttractiveness; it was built for the King of Kings, and vet when he went there, to a very great extent there was no room for Him: it has al- ways been 80, and whatever we may say about the cause of the terrible conflict in Europe, the bottom cause 7| is that there has been comparativeiy little room for the Christ in some of those countries. - The universities, the colleges and the books of the nations most responsible for the awful war have had no room for Christ; they bave crowded Him out. In our own land He is also crowded out in some quarters: in many of the public schools of our country the Bi- ble is not allowed, and the-only re- ligious instruction many of our chil- dren get is for twenty minutes in the Sunday school each week, and yet we expect our children to be religious. The family altar or as we call it in our: church, the mornins and evening prayer, is a thing of the past. We need to make room for Christ in every department of our lives; in our mental part, we must give Him more room than He has had; in our physical part we must make room for Him, 1f we would be clean, and cer- tainly we must enthrone Him in our spiritual lives if we would develop our souls. It is possible for us to go to church and take regular part in the services, and yet to keep Him out of our lives. Let us is this thee fold way give Him large room, and then we will glorify Him in our daily living. Swahn’s orchestra furnished fine music as usual. : CITY BIBLE CLASS HEARD GREENEVILLE PASTOR. Rev.
