FATHER & SON BANQUET AT EAKER ST. CHURCH FRIDAY FEB. 14th A Ringing Appeal For Consecrated Christian Worker Vol 6 Number 36 "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY Well might we cry in the language of our dying Savior. But God had not forsaken Him. Even so, he still prayed that God's will, not His, be done. How can we expect to save the souls of men when we are slothful and careless of the will of our Heavenly Father? Dare we live to suit ourselves, carelessly, any act or though all right in our estimation, and yet expect to do work in God's name? How can we expect to do God's work in our own way and be successful? There is no wonder that our revivals are lifeless, no lost souls are saved or even seem to care to be saved, when those who would invite the sinner are his associates and partners in sin? It is marvelous that He, whose name is holy, should labor with sin that is condemned, but not for one moment with sin that is allowed. Not for a moment would Christ tolerate being honored in talk or in creed when there was no obedience in fact. "Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" He asked no aid in counsel from those about Him. On one occasion, when He consulted his disciples concerning a hungry multitude, "He himself knew what He would do." Advice was often tendered Him which He declined to follow. His mission was to do the will of God; therefore it was not necessary to consult with me as to what that will was. "If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine whether it be of God." A feeling of the growing loneliness of the Christian life comes from a sense of the peculiarly personal interest which Christ takes in those who seek to know His will. It seems so strong as to almost make him feel that his life is being detached from all other lives around him; that it is being drawn out of the crowd of humanity, as if an unseen arm linked in his were taking him inside for a nearer intimacy, and a deeper and more private fellowship; not because he is in any way a favorite of heaven, but because as in coming to Christ at first he felt himself the only lost, so now in staying with Christ he feels himself the only found. He feels that Christ has all of him, and he has all of Christ. Christ has died for other men, but in a peculiar sense for him. God has love for all the world, but a peculiar love for him. As Christ prayed to His Father, "I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me, for they are thine. I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that hou shouldst keep them from the evil. This instinct of a near fellowship is true of the universal fellowship of God with His own people. Oh, that men might come into this close communion with God! If the ministers of the gospel could really know God, then indeed there might be lost souls gathered into the fold. Saint Paul says, "Abstain from all appearance of evil. Prove all things, hold fast that which is good. Let all things be done decently and in order." There are those who sin habitually and console themselves with the thought that all people do likewise. They are seriously mistaken. There are many good people in the world, who have principled and are what they seem, but we do not come in contact with them because we do not believe they exist. Bad people and deceivers think that the world is bad and deceitful. Let us wake up and look about. It is true that one must be often alone, because he finds few companions in the narrow path, as did Christian in Pilgrim's Progress. There is God's will in a man's career, just as in his life. The reason why so few have God in their career is that so few have really taken God into their life. No one will succeed in knowing even what God in his career can mean until he knows what it is to have God in the secret chambers of his heart. It requires a/well-kept life to know the will of God, and none but the Christ-like in character can know the Christ-like in career. Having asked, "Lord, what wilt thou THE DAYTON FORUM have me to do?" if any man have an obeying will, a truly single and submissive will, he shall know of the teaching or the leading, whether it be of God. God's will is found in regions which obedience only can explore. In our meetings, our Sunday schools, churches, revivals, in our business and every-day life, we should seek to know His will before deliberating on our own policy. Then we may go forth, not to stand perplexed before problems too hard for us, but in the conscious possession of divine power in a divine Lord. And Christ has promised that "Ye shall be led forth with peace." As God promised Israel, "If thou shalt indeed hearken unto his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries, for mine angel shall go before thee." And at the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and at the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed." Let us remember that a noble and God-like character is not a thing of favor or chance, but is the natural result of continued effort in right thinking, the effect of long-cherished association with God-like thought. Let us get a strong desire to know and to do the will of God, not because we must die, not because we fear future punishment, but because God is our Heavenly Father, and it is our duty to obey Him because it is right. By this means only may we obtain happiness. "Finally, brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked, and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God." We desire this in our every-day life, a close comrade and friend; and when the time of trial comes and all in earth and heaven seems dark, and even God's love seems dim; what is there ever left to cling to but this will of the willing heart, a God-given, bending will which says amidst the most solemn and perplexing vicissitudes of life: "Father, I know that all my life is portioned out by Thee. And the changes that are sure to come, I do not fear to see; But I ask Thee for a present mind, intent on pleasing Thee." Then indeed may we teach transgressors God's will and sinners will hearken unto us.—Rosa Lee Higgins Dugger. LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY.

THEY DOWNED TWELVE HUN PLANES International Film Service Lieut. O. P. Johnson of Des Moines 'In., and Lieut. O. A. Ralston of Lincoln, Neb., two of Uncle Sam's flighting aviators, have returned to their native land after many experiences in France. Lieutenant Johnson is officially credited with downing five Hun planes and his pal gets seven to his credit. ZION BAPTIST NOTES Zion continues to bear out its reputation as the church home of strangers. Large and increasing audiences seem to be the rule with us now. Last Sunday morning's bright weather brought out, besides the usual attendants, many others who enjoyed our services and experienced a renewal of their spiritual strength. The pastor, Rev. T. J. Smith, took for his Sunday morning text the parable of the talents, and drew from it a lesson of service expected of us by the Master. His general theme at the night service was unity, in which he emphasized the necessity for united Christian work. The Sunday-school session was marked by a brisk, happy song service, at which our new songbooks were introduced, and used for the first time. Superintendent and teachers of the Sunday school are working hard in a united effort to accomplish several new and improved features to the school. The prevailing idea is service for every one in so far as he or she can serve. The pastor and officers are urging the registration of all members on blank cards being given out for that purpose. If you are a member of Zion, register and fall in line for service. If you are a well-wisher, we will expect you with us in our services Sunday next. If you are a stranger in Dayton, come with us to Zion Sunday next and we will do you good. A special program and song service are being arranged by the Sunday school for our first "Pleasant Sunday Afternoon" at 3:00 o'clock, Sunday, February 16, 1919. Dr. Moton Returns Home Tuskegee, Ala., Feb. 1—Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, addressed a large audience of students, teachers, and visitors in the Institute chapel last Sunday evenings and told something of his experiences and observations while in France Among other things he told the following very touching and significant incident: "We rode for about a thousand miles in the war zone, and everywhere were graves, razed buildings, fields that had been plowed up bp shells, until it became almost depressing. I afterwards came back down the mountains, riding in the automobile of the commanding officer. After a while this officer told the chauffeur to stop that we might get out, and we went over to a field where was a little graveyard with some fifty graves of colored soldiers. The officer, a colonel from South Carolina and a West Point man, took off his hat, and as we stood reverently in silence, he presently said: "These men, Doctor Moton came over here with thousands of their fellow men to fight for our country, for democracy. I do not know how much about democracy they understood, but to me no braver soldiers ever faced an enemy than is true of these men whose remains lie here. These men gave their lives—all they had—for humanity, and I believe that America is going to record them those who go back, a fuller measure of citizenship than they have ever before received; at least, I think it ought to do it." P. BETHEL BAPTIST We are glad to have our pastor out with us, after being very ill for nearly four weeks. He preaches for us Sunday for the first time in a month. The sermon he preached was a wonderful sermon and one that will be long remembered. His subject was, "Christian meekness" His text was found in Matthew 5:5. We love our pastor deeply, but as good parents always chastise their children, our pastor chastises his flock, and by that we know he loves us. Yes, he loves us so deeply that he has not wasted any of his time in folly, but has kept ever before us the standard of Christ's obedience. He has preached an uncompromising gospel. Yes, we love him, and should be at a loss without him. We are praying that he may be restored to his health. Brother Clark, of Middletown, is here conducting a revival for us. As the old rule, "Prepare for war in time of peace," we did so, and enlisted thirty in the army before Rev. Clark arrived. He preached a wonderful sermon Monday night, one that was full of spirit. THRIFTOGRAMS BY ABRAHAM LINCOLN For Use in Connection with Lincoln's Birthday Anniversary, Feb. 12. Keep pegging away. Answer with facts, not arguments. Get ready, and the chance will come. We all like the man who "sticks through thick and thin." The value of life is to improve one's condition. Nothing is so local as not to be of some general benefit. May the vast future not have to lament that you neglected it. Shall he who cannot do much be for that reason excused if he do nothing? When an occasion is piled high with difficulty, we must rise to the occasion. What is it that we hold most dear? Our own liberty and prosperity. Be a patriot! Don't mar the immortal emblem of humanity, the Declaration of Independence. Every blade of grass is a study; and to produce two where there was but one is both a profit and a pleasure. The hired laborer of yesterday labors on his own account today, and will hire others to labor for him tomorrow. Teach economy; that is one of the first and highest virtues. It begins with saving money. Follow Lincoln's advice—you have the opportunity. All he says here applies to you now. Buy War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. NOTICE NOTICE Y. W. C. A.

MARGARET'S NEWS Rev. Father J. N. Samuels-Belboder Vicar. Beauty in holiness was a chief item in the Candlemas service last Sunday illustrating the psalmist's ecstatic exclamation: "O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Let the whole world earth stand in awe of Him." To have seen the little ones marching behind the choir, in their white dresses, and each with a candle in its little hand, was a scene to touch and move the thoughtful to think of the real meaning of the commemoration of the day and of the symbolism of the service, namely, the presentation of Christ in the temple by His earthly parents. The program of the service was in two parts. The first, that of the Evensong, shortened; the second, that of the children, in which the vicar successfully effaced himself. The recitations were brief but devout and dignified. Shabby, puerile, and dribbling sentimentality was never once heard in any of the selections. We were grateful, ye, happy to see and hear these children perform their parts so simply and naturally and heartily. With such endeavors God is pleased. This service will be repeated each Candlemas. It will be always the first children's service of the year. Parents were reminded by the vicar of the great trust that God has given them in their children. How careful they ought at all times be in bringing them up. Clean words spoken to them; clean deeds done before them; with great inspiration and encouragement to noble ideals of life, to fill their hearts and minds. And with all this love for the little ones, stern discipline to teach them respect and obedience to duty. "Being up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord; and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As M. man, so are children of youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them." The sermon on Sunday morning was "Freedom in Bondage." The laws of life are a bondage to men in whatsoever sphere of life one considers them. But as soon as one discovers a way to fulfill these laws, they no longer become a bondage, but are practically non-existent. One moves freely about plucking joy from the very things which are regarded as a menace. Moving free in the very sphere in which others are veritable prisoners. Happy and successful in the very things in which others are miserable and unsuccessful. It is these miserable people who by some mental legerdemain fill the world about them with black goblins, imaginary devils, and all that brood of hell's spawn. They largely are of the school of that ancient doubter and cynic, Diogenes. This man was such a doubter in the goodness of mankind that he carried a lighted lantern at high noon about the city of Athens, I think, looking for one honest man. Misery of mind was his lot. He died in the tub in which he lived—a blasted miserable wretch. Intellectual dishonesty is the cause of much pain. It is the worst form of sin, and Jesus Christ invigorated against it without Christ invigored against it without mercy. It makes the most dangerous kinds of hypocrites. It makes one hard, self righteous, cynical, and a menace, a grave menace, to all about one. Heaven does not admit such a one, and hell disgustingly chucks such a one out to stew in his own juice. His only safety is a radical change of mind-method; a regeneration and rebirth of thought processes. A new way of thinking, a new outlook of life, a new view of God and life's verities. A new hope in the success and ultimate salvation of men. It is here that Jesus Christ becomes the sheet arrows are in the hand of a mighty Anchor, the Light, the Way, the Truth. It is by Him, through Him, that the bondage of life's law becomes all but non-existent, and all life becomes a realm of spiritual freedom. It is through His holy church that this freedom is developed. It is there cynicism is destroyed and hope reborn, faith rekindled, and love realized. "Come unto me, all ye that travail and are heavy laden—come unto me and rest—take my yoke, my law—it is easy, and my burden is light." Remember the St. Valentine dinner on the 12st instant, at the Parish Hall. An appetizing menu, with a memento from St. Valentine, awaits you. Sunday is the fifth after Epiphany. Regular services: 10:00 a.m., Sunday school; 11:00 a.m., morning prayer and sermon; 4:00 p.m., Evensong and sermon; subject, "The Great Adventure." The afternoon service will be an echo of the Commemoration Service for the late Colonel Roosevelt. The entire country will hold such a service on this day. St. Margaret's is your church, if you will accept its hearty service, orderly, devout, uplifting, intelligent, and soul-saving. Come. We wish your presence and participation.

CELEBRATE DAY OF LINCOLN'S BIRTH Great Emancipator Said "Get Ready and the Chance Will Come." Today U. S. Treasury Offers Chance of Emancipation From Debt Through Government Securities. EMANCIPATION THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL FROM THE BRONZE STATUETTE GROUP BY THOMAS BALL. "And upon this act I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God." Abraham Lincoln, whose clear understanding of right and wrong, whose great qualities of heart and mind and character finally succeeded in liberating an entire race, was born just 110 years ago, February 12, 1809, in a rough log cabin in the undeveloped farmland of Kentucky. The commemoration of his birthday will this year, as in every other, he marked especially by the recollection of the Emancipation Proclamation, which gave us our freedom. to the cause of his fellow humans, fat his brothers in such a task? Had not all of us done our part in liberating the oppressed countries of Europe, by now France, Belgium and other entire nations would be challenged in slavery to the Germans. Then, alone the United States would have to wrest with the tyrant. Fifty years after Lincoln devoted his life to the liberation of a race, that race had the opportunity to assist in liberating the world. Can anyone imagine Lincoln stopping half way in such a task? To complete it, 1019 must be a year. In Lincoln's own words, this emancipation from slavery meant for the Negro "the right to eat the bread, without the leave of anybody else, which his own hand earns." * * * This was 56 years ago. Today, by summons from the Federal Government, amounting almost to a proclamation, the right is urged upon us not only to eat the bread we earn, but steadily to set aside a part of it so that eventually we may achieve our emancipation from economic dependence. Money invested in government securities—War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds—is the key which will unlock for us financial liberty. Out of the fund they create we can get homes, comforts, education, advancement and recreation. As Lincoln said: "The hired laborer of yesterday laborers on his own account today and will hire others to labor for him tomorrow." Not mere labor alone is necessary. To be ready to use an opportunity the products of one's labor must be accumulated. Again, as Lincoln said: "Get ready and the chance will come." There is another reason, a still better one than that of personal profits, why we should make every effort to save and invest in Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds. Money loaned in this way to the government—to give us a share in that for which Lincoln gave his life—will help to pay off the enormous costs of the war for which many negroes have given their lives. They gave themselves gladly. They have made a wonderful, never-to-be-forgotten record of patriotism and bravery in the war. Unless we do our full part, which, after all, is extremely small compared to what they who shall never return have done, we shall have broken faith with them and tarnished the splendid shield of patriotism which they harpished so brightly. Can anyone imagine Lincoln, who devoted all his time, energy and talents to the cause of his fellow humans, fall his brothers in such a task? Had not all of us done our part in liberating the oppressed countries of Europe, by now France. Belgium and other entire nations would be chained in slavery to the Germans. Then, alone, the United States would have to wrestle with the tyrant. Fifty years after Lincoln devoted his life to the liberation of a race, that race had the opportunity to assist in liberating the world. Can anyone imagine Lincoln stopping half way in such a task? To complete it, 1919 must be a year of real thrift for everyone. By spending wisely—getting the most of what we actually need for the amount we can afford to spend—something will be left over to save. By saving intelligently, giving attention to the important things and eliminating uncessaries—something will be accumulated for investment. By investing safely—in Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps or Liberty Bonds—we shall help complete the task, win personal prosperity, and assist in gaining national prosperity. The remembrance of Lincoln's Birthday should be a reminder to prove ourselves worthy of his great faith. If Lincoln Could Speak Today He Would Say to You— Encourage yourself from money worries by saving into Thrift a linge Stamps. Have a personal charm in government stock—Thrift and War Savings Stamps. The money you pay for them is a loan from you to the government and pays you interest. Be active, good citizens—partners with your country in finishing up the war job and carrying out the peace program. Thrift and War Savings Stamps give this partnership. Spend your time and energy as well as money wisely. You will then be able to buy Thrift and War Savings Stamps. Steady saving will bring you prosperity.

Have Two Funnels and Make 24 Knots on Surface Under Steam. London.—The admiralty has permitted to be made public the real story of the submarine cruisers the British successfully constructed at the time the Germans were boasting of their super-submarine. The British craft have two funnels and make 24 knots an hour on the surface under steam power. They carry from eight to ten torpedo tubes, two or three four-inch guns and also are equipped with internal combustion motors for surface cruising. The batteries for the undersen power can be charged from both the steam and combustion engines and an ingenious scheme has been devised for quickly dismantling the funnels for the purpose of submerging. The vessels displace 2,000 tons on the surface and 2,700 tons submerged. They are 340 feet long, have a beam of 26 feet and a cruising radius of 3,000 miles. They are designed to be even a match for torpedo-boat destroyers in surface fighting. It is also known that the British have successfully built a submarine carrying a 12-inch gun, although the details of this craft have not been made public. The new ideas embraced in the construction of the craft include the "cushioning" of the boat to withstand the torrential expansion of the gun. This idea is represented unofficially as having been successful. So far as is known the new craft was never employed against any enemy vessel. M. Sir Arthur Pearson, famous blind publisher and educator, arrived in America recently to lecture for the Red Cross on his methods of educating the blind, a task to which he has committed his life and fortune. Sir Arthur founded the St. Dunstan's hospital for blinded soldiers and sailors in Regent's park, London. Despite his affliction he reached the highest pinnacle of English journalism, owning the London Daily Express, Pearson's Monthly and 19 other publications, all of which he has recently sold. He will tour America, lecturing for the benefit of the American blind, to stimulate interest in the training of those unfortunate according to the St. Dunstan hospital plan. LAUNCH 26 STEEL VESSELS All Records for Shipbuilding Broken by Skinner & Eddy's Big Plant at Seattle. Seattle, Wash.—Smashing all records for shipbuilding, the Skinner & Eddy corporation's plant No. 1, in this city, launched 26 steel steamships in the year 1918. The vessels had an aggregate tonnage of 232,400 deadweight tons. As the plant has five shipways the average tonnage for each way was 46,480 tons. Nothing approaching this average has been accomplished before in the history of the world's shipbuilding. No other five shipways at one plant have averaged more than 40,000 deadweight tons in a year, according to marine experts. There have been records of a single way of more than 40,000 tons in a year, but that was where one large ship was built in a year. The last of the vessels constructed at this plant for the year was the steamship Edgefield that was delivered on the last day of the year. She is a 9,600-ton vessel.

A few days ago he was standing alongside his train when a sudden jerk of the engine threw a brakeman standing atop a boxcar into space. He landed on Johnson. The brakeman, a careless fellow, is uninjured. Johnson, the careful, is in the hospital. PLAN CLOSER UNION Movement to Draw English- Speaking Peoples Together. First Branch of Union to Be Established in America is in Philadelphia. Washington.—It is the general feeling that the foundation on which the proposed League of Nations must be built is a complete understanding and friendly co-operation between the two great English-speaking peoples; that on the Americans and the British will fall largely the task of making the world safe for democracy. Realizing this, a group of Americans and Britishers have started a movement to draw the English-speaking peoples of the world closer together in the bond of comradeship and have organized the English-Speaking Union. The aim of the union is, briefly, to make the English-speaking peoples of the world better known to each other, whether they be Americans, Australians, Canadians, New Zealanders, South Africans, 'Newfoundlanders or the inhabitants of the British isles and their dependencies. It does not aim at formal alliances, nor is it concerned with the relationship of governments; it is solely and simply a good fellowship movement among the people "who speak the tongue that Shakespeare spake." The aim of the promoters, American and British, is that no citizen of the English-speaking world should ever feel lonely again after the war, that no American visiting the old country should ever want a friend, and that no Britisher should ever want one in the great republic. They plan to make these peoples better known to each other in various ways—by the interchange of visits, by correspondence, by the printed word, by lectures, by an interchange of professors and preachers, by sporting contests and by every other possible means. It was Admiral Sims who said the other day that "If only an interchange of 100,000 young men from our leading schools on both sides of the Atlantic could be made annually there would be no possibility of future misunderstandings between us". In 95 per cent of the things that matter the English-speaking peoples, whether they come from the United States, from the British dominions in the far antipodes, or from the mother country, have the same outlook, the same ideals, the same conceptions of right and wrong, the same laws, the same literature. It is only in the remaining 5 per cent of superficial things that they differ. The first branch of the English-Speaking Union to be established in America is in Philadelphia and the first European branch is in London. Its monthly magazine already has been started. BRITISH DEFY FOE'S MINES Invention of Naval Officer Enabled Ships to Push Into Helgoland Bight. London.—Mines and mine fields were rendered obsolete by the development of the "paravene," the invention of Lieutenant Burnley and consistently urged upon the British navy by Admiral Sir Hedworth Meux. This instrument was officially adopted by the navy early in 1916 and was so successful that special factories were built for its construction. It is now learned that the British grand fleet on several occasions pushed right into the bight of Helgoland, which, if mines mean anything, would have been a death trap for ships. German experts never solved the mystery. From the time of its adoption to the close of the war only two warships were reported having been suk by mines. The most recent use of the "paravenas" was on the occasion of British warships entering the Battle through a closely mine-strewn area. The steel wire mooring ropes of the mines are said to have been cut by the paravenas as a string is cut by scissors. FOR SALE—Second-hand Furniture and Stoves.
