SERVICES WELL ATTENDED "Liberty" Is Noonday Topic of Rev. II. R. White. Tre-Lentcn noon-day services by the Brotherhood of St. Andrew in the Baker theater are daily marked by larger audiences. The speaker yes terday was Kev. H. R. White of Ttoseburg, formerly a chaplain in France. Today this week's conclud ing sermon will be delivered by Rev. William E. Hamilton of Medford. Meetings will be resumed on Monday. Rev. Mr. White chose yesterday to discuss "Liberty." He said: "Our hearts thrill to the words of the orator, or poet, or speaker, as he brings our minds to bear upon the privileges of liberty. Our children, and our children's children will hate the thought of slavery. We love in stinctively the thought of liberty; but Just exactly what do we mean by freedom? - There is a need for a far greater knowledge and understand ing of what really constitutes liberty than people have. It does not mean the taking away the rights of others: It does not mean the promoting of ' one's privileges to the disregard of another's privileges. "Freedom is the unimpeded right to realize the felt law of being and becoming our true selves. "Christian statesmanship is coming ' forward In this day and age. We must begin to think of our politics as only being built up on the real- and vital basic principles of Christian principles as you and I understand them." W. G.
