"Do and Dare In Life's Challenge
With the Strength of God," Is
Parting Exhortation.
I go out from you. never to stand
a rain In this pulpit on a Sabbath morn
Inc as your pastor. I am overwhelmed
with the desire that la the future yo
ntc-ht think of me In this way: 'I once
knew a man who crossed my path and
entered my life for a short while. He
went out of my lit never to return
but ha left Jesus Christ with me.'
T would like you in. trying; to re
member through after years how I
looked to remember instead another
f-ve that of him who I have tried to
interpret. In recalling- my voice
would like yoa instead to hear the
voice of the muter. Beloved, t can
leave but one messace. and that Is of
J"ui cnrist, who waa crucified.
-We shall meet aaaln in the eternal
presence over the Kreat divide.

aid Dr. Boyd.
"I have not pleaded with you to be
lieve In God. I have not asked you
to brin? your sins to be forpiven. pri
marily. I have not asked you to be
lieve In the realities of the spiritual
world. I have asked you to believe in
yourselves. In the divinity of men, in
the greatness of the human soul.
"I have asked you to believe In
worthy character, in the worthiness of
unselfish purity and manliness. I have
believed that if you accept the teach
fnss of Jesus Christ and become con
scious of your own possibilities ynu
would arow out snd for yourselves find
God and spiritual realities. Those who
can see the infinite reach of themselves
can see God. can strengthen themselves
and the spiritual world Is open to
them. Men are what they are because
of a fatal disbelief In their own di
vinity. "1 reerard life as a challenge to each
man of the righteousness of the world.
Those who do not accept the challenge
dr, not dare. Their complaint that they
cannot believe Is not true. They say
there are hypocrites m-lthtn the church
and that therefore Christianity and the
church have failed. That Is not true.
It Is a subterfuge, and they are trifling
with the truth. Though every follow
er of Christianity failed, there would
sltll remain the eternal demand for
you. personalty, to be true and to an
swer the challenge of world righteous
ness. Christ Has Many Likenesses.
"What is the Christ we are to fol
low? There were four Messiahs the
morning that the world first looked
upon Jesus Christ. The simple shep
herds saw one Messiah. Tha wise men
saw another Just as did the caretakers
of the temple. And the face of the
mother looking down at her first-born
saw still another Messiah, f want you
to see my Jesus Christ. But if you
can't I want you to find another and
are him in your way.
"During the eight years of my min
Istery I have tried for three ends. I
war.ted to be to you an interpreter of
Jesus Christ, a leader of the church
with an aggressive ministry and a
friend and a pastor to you. The sue-
cm of our church has been mainly
responsible for my leaving you. It
has grown so large and so exacting
that 1 wonder how I or any other man
ct.n keep up with '.L. During the last
years 1 have lived with a growing
margin of responsibility. But you have
openej up your hearts to me and have
sien me loyalty. Never have I been
anywhere In any pastorate where I
have been quits as satisfied aa I have
hers.
"If I could feel aura that I had in
terpreted Christ to you as I should. I
would be better satisfied. True. I have
tried to make him tbe center of my
teachings and to write his name In let
ters as large aa possible. 1 have asso
ciated myself In my teachings of Christ
lth the Apostle Paul, and I have been
wrong or rmht as the Apostle I'aul is
wrong or rifchL.
"My approach to the Bible has been
throuch the life of msn. Man's life is
the greatest fact and therefore 1 have
devoted my time since 1 first entered
the ministry to a study of life. I have
seen the rich and the strong on one
side and the lowly and the weak on
the other side, and everywhere 1 have
tried to learn the lesson of life. My
culture has been an attempt to explore
literature aa the masters through It
have Interpreted life. I have studied
history because It Is a record of life
and I have studied philosophy because
it is an uncovering to the workings of
man's mind. It has been the great pas
sion of my heart and mind to under
atand man's l:fe.
-Man's life is terribly diseased.
"The disease Is so deep that the world
Is not what It should be. The years of
man's aspirations and striving are
passed in compromise and burn Into
ashes. Kver where Is waste. Human
life is diseased with an inherent weak
ness which results In compromise with
the challenge of the world. Man likes
to find a place of ease and idleness
and he refuses to struggle against the
larger things.
"I find the multitude unsoiled with
corruption and free from evil but con
senting to be small. There are evils
far greater than dishonor and the com
mon evils and vices which are ever be
setting and besoiling us. The content
to be mediocre Is the greatest evit I
find the vest majority are content to
find a small and snug place requiring
little energy, to take life as a compro
mise and refuse the opportunities. In
this majority I find the mass of my
friends, although here and there I catch
the glint of glorious beauty and the re
membrance of man's own Divine
wonder.
Christ Awakeaa Xew Asplratiewa.
"Out of this study of msn's life comes
the feeling that men and women need
help. They need to be awakened to
new aspirations. They need to be
comforted and encouraged. And to this
end I turn to my master. Jesus Christ
-I do not believe Jesus Christ es
tablished a new religion In the world.
He came down and looked into the
multitude of faces which showed fail
ure, and he wanted to tear, them bet
ter how to live and to stretch out un
selfish, helping hands. Jesus Christ
stands against the need of every man's
life with aid to help in the task of
living. He speaks of the hunger which
enters every man's life and calls him
self bread. He speaks of thirst and
likens his refreshing aid to water, and
he speaks of the darkness and calls
himself the light."

Rcv. Alexander Beers Brings Clarion
Message of Peace.
Rev. Alexander Bears, pastor of the
Free Methodist ehirrch at Alberta, has
Just returned from attending the gen
eral conference of his denomination
that met at Greenville, I1L, and
preached his first sermon in the new
church yesterday morning, taking for
hla aubject "The World's Crisis and
the Church's Mission."
Rev. Mr. Beers said in part: "The

IS GLAD I TOOK
FRIEND'S ADVICE
Wfiat Portland Man Needed Was
an All-Round Building: Up
and Tanlac Did That
Very Thing.
"I needed a general all round build
ing up, and Tanlac has done that very
thing," said J. D. Wall of 42s East
Harrison street, Portland, Or., while in
the Owl Drug Store recently. Mr.
Wall is employed by the Cutter Manu
facturing Co. in Portland and is in
charge of the wood-working depart- j
ment.
"Up to about a year ago I had al
ways been pretty strong and healthy,"
continued Mr. Wall, "but at that time
I Just seemed to lose my appetite en- I
tlrely, and what little I did force my
self to eat didn't appear to do me any
good, because my entire system got
terribly run-down and I was troubled
with a tired, draggy feeling most all
the time. When I would get home at
nights from work I Just felt all tired
and worn-out and, as this wasn't aM
natural way for me to feel, I got to
looking about for something that would
help me.
I had been reading about Tanlac
and what it wab doing for others who
seemed to b troubled like I was, and
a friend of mine also told me I ought
to try it, aa It had done him ao much
good. He said he had been down flat
on his back for several months with
rheumatism, but that Tanlac had cer-
tainjy put bim on his feet again, so
I decided I would get a bottle and see
what It would do for me. and I am
sure glad I did, because after I started
in to take it I began to. pick up right
away. I kept right on taking it and
now I've got a fine appetite and relish
everything I eat Just like I used to
and what I eat does me good, too.. I
Just think Tanlao is the best thing I
ever came across and my wife thinks
he same, because she suffered terri
bly with rheumatism In her arms and
shoulders, but since rhe has been tak
ing Tanlac I never hear her complain
bit. I have told lots of mv friends
bout Tanlac and 2 know a number of
them who are taking it on my recom
mendation, and I will gladly tell any
one what it did for me."
Tanlac is sold in Portland by the
uwi vrug Co. Adv.
