[SUNDAY’S 1 | SERMONS | Christian Church Mrs. Munro chose as her text for the Sunday evening worship the passage from Mark: “The chief priests, the scribes and the elders * * * said unto him, by what authority dost thou do these things?” The Jewish people were at this time subject to Roman rule, represented in the procurator Pointius Pilate. While the Hebrews “paid tribute to Ceasar,” yet they obeyed their own ruler, the represen tatives of their religion; the Phari sees, Sadducees, scribes and elders. These various orders had become so accustomed to obedience that they had come to consider themselves the court of final appeal in all religious laws and practcies. Having mastered the Jew ish law they based their authority upon this knowledge. Then comes Jesus, who ignores alike their authority and that of the Cea sars, and presumes to set his own teachings over against theirs, and he was obeyed. Not only that, He takes charge of the temple and says what shall and what shall not be done in it. No wonder the chief rulers are shock ed! No wonder they asked, “By what authority?” Jesus had the only au thority needed then or since to dictate human actions. He had the authority of a perfect life, of a clear conscience purged of any self-seeking or policy. Christ offers that same authority to day to any of his followers who are willing to pay the price. A few years ago President Wilson offered John R. Mott a most important amtassador ship, but Mr. Mott refused, saying that he felt he had a greater work to do as President of the Y. M. C. A. Today we are all thanking Mr. Mott tor the splendid work the Y. M. C. A. is doing for our army and those of our Allies. To just the extent that we pay the price, to just that extent will we have authority and power. A ♦ Methodist Church * Divine Source of Redemption” was the theme at the Methodist church Sunday evening. Text, I Timothy 1:15. “It depends a great deal,” Rev. Pat ton said, “how an act or deed of hero ism came to be perfromed as to the amount of honor in men’s lives who hold chief distinction in the world’s history. If Hobson had been compell ed to sink the vessel in the channel in an attempt to block the Spanish fleet, the world would think but little of his act. The text tells us that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sin ners, so we at once grasp the facts as so many times repated in the Bi ble that our Saviour had a willing pur pose in coming to earth. He realized that wicked men would put him to death. Christ announced that fact early in his ministry. He makes it CABARET TOO MUCH FOR AGEI) ARMY OFFICER ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 12, (Mail Correspondence).—Capt. F. C. Desum ichrast, 73, English army officer and a former Harvard professor, who is in St. Louis to make several addresses on England’s side of the war and con ditions in general, could not reconcile bare legged cabaret with patriotism. He departed abruptly, without having delivered hi$ scheduled address, from a banquet of the Rotary Club at Sap pington Inn. The first part of the program was a military tableau of the spirit of 1917 and was very interesting. Then came a group of young women in scant attire who danced and sang and sat on the laps of the men, hugging them, and at this juncture the captain left. -* A. Mclver, licensed undertaker.

It still costs to carry this blessed gospel; nevertheles, Christ realized that men would be ready to go to any part of the world to declare this unprecedented love to a sin-cursed world.” J UI I UI J UU-I ui—J UUU Ul_ ' w. • —i M-U — ■» ■■ —— PHONE MAIN 134 FROM YOUR ALLOWANCE iiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiMimimiimiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiii When we supply the groceries.—Make this Grocery your Grocery, and Reduce Expenses. iimmmiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii BORGEN GROCERY STORE OF PROGRESS TIT thoughtless talker is like a blank cartridge.
