Almost evervone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound- #d, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray.

Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for veth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound,” you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, im- proved by the addition of other in- gredients, at a small cost, Don't stay gray! Try it! No one ean possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does It so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray halr disappears, and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beantifully dark, glossy and attractive. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance, It s not in- tended for the cure, mitigation or pre- vention of disease.

NORWICH BULLETIN, TUESDAY, ri'ifiam N, VoI 4 SUPREME TASK OF CHRISTIAN CHURCH T0 WORK TO WIN MEN T0 EHRIST\ The pendulum is swinging back to pas- toral and personal evangelism and the whole world is looking to the church of the llving God, declared Rev. Dr. Charles L. Goodell of New York in his sermon Monday night at the United Congrega- tional church in opening the series of meetings at which he s to speak under the auspices pf the Young Men's Chris- tian association and the Protestant ohurches of the city. There is a wide and increasing interest in Christian work throughout the country and it is the su- preme task of the Christian church to work to win mem to Jesus Christ. The meeting: had a good sized congre- gation and opened twith prayer by Rev. Robert L. Roberts after a hymn. Rev. Alexander H. Abbott made a brief state- ment in behalf of the ministers of the dhurches, in which he acknowledged their gratitude to the Young Men's Christian association for its initfative in bringing Rev. Dr. Goodell here for a series of meetings so full of hope. President James C. Macpherson of the association spoke briefly in explaining that the meetings were made possible through the use of a fund given to the association by Miss M. Louise Sturte- vant, a member of the United church, for intensified religious work in this city. President Macpherson announced that Dr. Goodell had agreed to speak on the four afternoons he will be here as well as on the evenings, and that the first after- noon meeting will be held today (Tues- day) at 3.30, when his subject will be Religion in the Homes and that mothers are especially asked“o attend this meet- ing. ter a scripture reading by Secretary Edwin Hill, President Macpherson intro. duced Rev. Dr. Goodeil, who spoke upon The Supreme Task of the Christian Chureh The questions of the da: are not financial and social but sniritual, said Dr. Goodell in his opening words. Busi- ness needs the Holy Spirit, faith ana prayer. Herbert Hoover says we need evangelism. The question is, Have we a church big enough to face this condition and bring trumph to human brother- hood? You may weave or spin or plamt to pay expenses, but your busin is to serve God. Men are seeing this new vision and are kindling to Jesus said My church, T will build The church of the living God w stand forever. supreme over the wreck of all human matter, of all worlds. This church of the church, Is the church equal to the great prob- Yems that are fretting our souls today? ing God, not your church or my There hasn’t been a new sin discovered in 2,000 years. If we were to take some Roman Adonis down through the White Light distni of Broadway and show him all ¢ to be seen there, he would rem ed to do those same ings, on sospel of God' Iy betten - But the salvation was big enough to face the inlquity of Rome, and it is big enough today. Speaking of the ambition for wealth, for social success, for politica] triumphs, all evanescent, Dr. Goodell said that the only thing that will abide is the Book, and the only thing worth while to build your life into is the church of God. Un- legs you do that you leave only that which withers this side of the grave. Anything that interests humanity should interest the church. Labor and wages is one thing but it is better to have good men than good pay, but what good do you do a man if-you glive $20 instead of $10 a week. if it is only $10 more to help him to go to the devil the faster. The church is the mother of edu- cation, the mother of philanthropy, but should it ever fail in either, public grants and private generosity still carry them on. But there is one thing in which the church has a monopoly. It is the only institution on God's earth that trafficks in the eternals, that stands pri- marily for the justification of a sinner in the sight of God through falth in Him. As a prophylactic against despalr. the church w'mgs There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Tmmanuel's veins, and sinners washad within its flood lose all their guilty stains. We talk about your fa#th in God, but what about God's falth in you? Is man going to give as good an acoount of him- self spiritually as he has materially i» developing the materfals and resources that are offered to him in what he finds on the earth? Man's discoveries through science have illuminated the earth, but if the world Is to be illuminated spirit- ually it must be by those who give them- selves to the work. It must be the indi- vidual, not the mass The church was builded on individuals wom to Gjd and that is the way the church is still to be builded. There are two methods, first, the har- vest methods, line upon line and what- soever a man soeth that shall he reap. You've got to bring your children into certain touch with the things that abide. Then there is the law of the late deci- sion, the same law that Paul met with on his way to Damascus, suddenly com- ing face to face with God. If In the next three days as many men as are in this congregation would promise to find some one and bring him to Christ that would change the wHole atmosphere of this clty. Find some one of your own size, the lawyer the lawyer, the bank man the bank man, the social leader an- other social leader. This is the supreme task that by any and all means we win men and women to Jesus Christ. There = nothing ahead of this and everything will flow out of i{t. Everything flows out of the spiritual impact and that is the supreme task of the church. Rev. Mr. Goodell announced that his topic for Tuesday evening's sermon would be the Christian Worker and His Own Soul.
