I DANCE TONIGHT Moose Hall Townsend Club No. 2 Rose Orchestra Gents 2So Ladles 10c DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS One of the mysteries of Christian history is the power by which men of ordinary gifts have achieved extraordinary things. The New Testament is the greatest of books and the church the greatest of institu tions, but the men who wrote the one and founded the other were for the most part ordin ary men. The man called An drew, first among those who left all and followed Jesus is an example of the extraordin ary use of an 'ordinary man. His name is an encouragement and a challenge to us all. Jesus once told a story about a man whose employer had given him a sum of money to invest. It was a small sum. Others had been given more, and he did nothing with It. When the time came for an accounting he had made no profit and his master blamed him with bitter words. Jesus was not a busi ness man however, and His In terest was not in cash, but In character. The five talent man and the two talent man Invest ed their trust funds shrewdly and courageously. The one tal ent man thought that, being poorly endowed, he need not take a risk or make an effort. The point of the story Is the re sponsibility of ordinary people. In these days we must depend on the one-talent man. Great ability, heroism and work may do much, but they can do noth ing without the help of the or dinary man and woman. They are the warp and woof of life. Amen. Visiting Parents Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Hooper of San Francisco are visiting here at the home of Mrs. Hooper's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Mulholland.
