Claude Neely, song director, and soloist, who de- llKhted the cotiKyKation with his voices. Mrs. Neely is pianist for tho visitors, Dr. .Packard's sermon in tho evening was on the subject 'Amer ica's Need of a Great Spiritual Uo vival." based upon- the challenging statement of Jesus: "Why call ye mo. Lord, Lord, and do not the thing vhich I say." .Dr. Packard said in part: "Wo ,aro hearing a great deal today about 1 tho failuro of tho church and men arguo that Christianity i has had Its day. 1 do not know what ."j'our opinion may bo but when ;you'ro talking about Christ ianity, falling, I am hero to con tend that this Kaith can no moro fail than God Almighty can fail. Churches may fall and the sooner moro ;of thorn fall tho belter off Christianity will ho. Tho thing that's wrong with this old world tonight Hs I tint Christianity has never been tried, and nine-tenths of all tho worlds sorrow and pMn wpuld all ho orased if wo put Into practice tho things Jesus told us to do. Jlo gave us principles to llvo b' and wo have ignored them. We have lived as If thero wero no God and tho World war was Just ono price wc shall have to pay unless wo soon como hack to Christian Ideal. TWo Almericau homo has no God and you can talk about modern youth with con demnation all that you will, I be lieve youth has done mighty well considering the example they had.
