Speaking at the Unitarian church Sunday Rev. Earl Morse Wilbur, president of the Pacific Unitarian School for the Min istry, said that if God's will Is to be carried out, it must be carried out ac tively and passively by men. "It is not enough," he declared, "to say: Thy will be done' and then to sit down passively and wait for it to j oe don uy gome omer iiiiiii. ii. vcij i i.nA-tr ahnnM - A n. tMt wa should never see "God's will done among men."

Be hopefult be cour ageous, be earnest, be true-hearted, bo lust, be generous. Remember him who said, 'My grace is sufficient unto you.' " Such were Rev. C. C. Rarick's sug nitinim fnr the New Tear, given in hi sermon Sunday in the Central Methodist Episcopal church. Hayor's Secretary on Laws. W. H. Warren, secretary to Mayor Albee, spoke at the Trinity .Episcopal church Sunday morning, urging that fuller co operation be given officials who are trying to enforce the laws. "Help us enforce the curfew law," he said. "Help us weed out the blind pigs by giving the proper authorities information" as to law infractions. Help us prevent the sale of cigarettes to minors by giving us the location of the places where the law is violated." Mr. Warren said thai he hoped the legislature would pass a prohibition law which would make possession of liquor sufficient evidence for seizure by the police. Consider Passing Tear. Rev. Wil liam R. Reece, speaking before the New ThouEht society In Eilers hall Sunday, emphasized the thought that the ending of the old year was of more importance than its beginning. He said it was the time of summing up, of casting up accounts; the harvest of the year in material and spiritual gain could be estimated. Star of Bethlehem.

Kirtley of Chi cago, speaking at tne wiine Mempie Sunday. He declared, bowever, that with the world the Lord has not done this, but has given the world a chance to develop along its own lines. Dr. Kirtley was formerly pastor of a church in Duluth. He comes here from Chicago, however, and spoke at the White Temple several times last month. Disputes Old Sarin. The state ment that the way to hell is paved with good resolutions is not true, ac cording to Rev. Arthur F. Bishop, pas tor . of the Central Presbyterian church, speafeing in the church Sunday morning. "The way to hell may be paved with broken resolutions, irresolutions and procrastinations," he said, "but never Quality. i VERY person, either consciously or unconsciously,: expresses a 1 certain and decided quality which emanates from depths of mind and breeding. It is found among the highest as well as the lowest caste of humans, and when it is fine and pure, it stands out like a clear moon in a dark sky, radiant and illuminating. When it is coarse and vulgar it mars or malms everything with which it conies, in. contact.

Teachers In the public schools. If they are intelligent enough to study and observe those who come under their supervision, lean pick out the chil dren with quality and were they to give a little time to the special cultivation of those talents which the children with quality possess, would do much for the betterment of the world. Jn the ordinary families, of three or more children there is usually one that expresses? a greater amount of refine ment, sweetness and consideration than the others. As they grow into girlhood and wo.manhood that one will separate itself from the others and will find more pleasure in study or pictures or Contemplation of things elevating than 1n play. I know many families, and In every one I can pick out the star from the others. One family of my acquaint ance has an inspired master of the niano a.1 the age of 1 1. Another possesses an artist of groat ability who lies on his' Dttle stomach on the floor and sketches anyone in the room with ail their pecul iarities no accurately drawn that much embarrassment Is often the result. It does not necessitate a direct talent for art or music to prove quality. Gen tleness, modesty and sweet considera tion are the foundation for a superior lite, and it is born in children and stamps them as charming -all through life. Quality may be discovered in a shop, especially now in these days of holiday shopping when rude persons push and elbow one another an "excuse me" can only be heard on the Hps of quality. It looks straight out of the eyes, it shows In the modesty and style of clothes and is most effectively ex pressed in conversation. . . - A person of real quality has .enough manners to listen attentively when a person Is spaking, to wait until a speaker has finished with" what he has to say befoie breaking In and stating his opinion on the subject. Persons of quality have sufficient re spect and consideration for others to illow that they may be perhaps as good, as well born and intelligent as themselves. Birth has little influence upon certain personalities; often the highest born are the poorest specimens cf society and too often riches and af fluence make hypocrites and autocrats of otherwise decent persons. If you have deiep down in your heart a lespect for age. fur persons and thii.gs of high cultivation and an appre ciation of the fitness of things, express it, prove It in your looks and manners. A regard for situations causes you to appear at your best at all times in th: matter of dresa as well as deportment.

The forming of a good resolution oftentimes marks a turning point in our lives, when we esolve to loose ourselves from the old habits of living and determine upon a newer and better course of life." Time Measured by Good Done. Rev. T. W. Lane, pastor of the Cen tenary M. E. church, in bis sermon Sunday said that time can be meas ured only by the amount of good done and not by the dial or yalendar. "What the new year will mean to us," he declared, "rests largely upon ourselves, and the manner in which we take advantage of the opportuni ties that are offered." Br. Klmson Preaches.
