The baccalaureate services at the Cngregational church Sunday morning marked the beginning of commencement week. The speaker was Rev. W. W. Head, former pas tor of the church who now resides at Cathlamet, Wash. He spoke on the subject, "The Call of God," and said in part: "Men have been hear ing the call of God from the foun dation of the world. Kecordea His tory is full of the instances. "Abraham was called out or Ha- ran to found the tribes of Israel; Moses from the burning bush to lead the children of Israel out of the bonds of slavery in Egypt into freedom in the land of promise. Samuel heard the voice of God in the night time and Christ in the light of day; Paul in a voice from the midday sky and the Maid of Orleans from trees heard myster ious and holy voices calling her to the deliverance of her king, her people and her church; Washington felt the urge of an imperative man date to the leadership of a forlorn hope for the freedom of the thir teen colonies against the might of Britain; another Abraham caught in the slave mart the inspiration that finally affixed his signature to the presidential proclamation that declared the freedom of 4,000,000 slaves; Harriet Beecher Stowe in the daily round of housewifely du ties, caught the vision of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and Julia Ward Howe in the far reaching watch fires of the armies of freedom caught the uplift of soul that enabled her to sing "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory of the Coming of the Lord." "These few I mention, but there are so many more that the day would not suffice for the calling of their names. These men and wo men were the voice of God calling the common man to the service of truth and humanity; calling them in their own time and calling them today. "But I cite these this morning not as though you might some day hear the call to the like high posts of service and honor, for this is be yond our present vision, but to re mind you that a universal call has been sounded to all mankind the call to duty and service in places where they are. The time needs common men men and women who will serve in the ranks with the same consecrated and loyal de votion as their leaders." Two special numbers during the services were vocal solos by Lyle N. Riggs. Spring flowers were used as church 'decorations. The church was filled with friends who came again to hear Rev.

Wed. eve.. 8 o'clock Church Night, Thurs. eve. 8 o'clock Sentiment. "There came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spike nard, very precious; and she brake the box and poured it on His head. Mark 14-3. Men of practical mind who wit nessed this incident protested, say ing: "Why this waste?" It seemed all too sentimental to them. Some people pride themselves on being "Practical." They never do anything for the sake of sentiment. If it were left to them, they would turn the whole earth into a corn field. No room would be planned or allowed for a flower garden. Now, assuredly, a cornfield has its place; but without flower gar dens this old world would be a dreary, drab planet. And while we cannot run the world on sentiment alone, without it human society would be intolerable. There may be such a thing as being too sentimental, but we should be very sorry for people who Have no sentiment in their makeup, in their nature. We wonder how such people get any thrill out of life. They must be a misery to themselves; life holding nothing for them except the very practical and stern things of money, proper ty, etc. Certainly they can not make happy companions. Without sentiment the heart becomes cold and hard. Be assured that sentiment is by no means a useless thing. It is a very necessary thing. Sentiment is the poetry that mingles with and makes colorful the prose of every day life. Sentiment makes much easier the prosaic, practical phase of life. The man who has a heart that responds to the tender and the beautiful is the man BEST prepar ed for life's sterner duties. Sentiment is not weakness; sen timent is power. Sentiment is in spiration. It is the motivating im pulse that lies back of the noblest deeds of self-sacrifice and love. The finest and most useful things ever done in the world have been in spired by sentimental motive." People who speak disparagingly of sentiment little understand its value and meaning; and do but dis play their own unfitness for larger living and service. The "alabaster box," to those who KNOW, is 'very precious" Indeed. Do not lose the implication of this sermon. If we wuld be seized of the foundation sentiment underlying a 1 1 real worth-while life and achievement, we must be seized by the Spirit of the Christ, the Saviour of men! Christian Jiving is the only real living! Where do you go to Church? You, Father; and you, Mother; and you, Daughter; ana you, sonr Where do you go to Church? In what Young People's societies, Par ents, are your young folks finding the very best preparation for real ly living? In what Church, Young People, are your Parents setting you a proper example of good cit izenship and helpful service? Get together on this matter, and if you have not now a Church home, come and worship with us. We invite you to our Bible School and all the services of this Church. For the coming Lord's Day the sermon top ics are: For the morning, "Bring ing in the Sheaves." For the eve ning, "Heavenly Dew." METHODIST CHURCH. GLEN P. WHITE. Pastor. Mrs. C. R.

In Jesus' day, and many others since then. But Jesus pointed out In the Sermon on the Mount that there is a higher righteousness than this, one that touches the inner spirit, that is back of all deeds. Religion is ritual, savs another; it is per forming acts of worship that have been prescribed. That is wnai u seemed to those priests and to the people whose ideas the prophets op posed long ago. Against them Isaiah declared that Jenovan wisu- ed not sacrifice and prayers and songs but justice and mercy toward men and Micah spoke his immortal words: What doth Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with thy God?" Not a few in our day wouia mane t simDlv a matter of correct con duct without any reference to God. Jesus' answer reaches deep. Re ligion is not a form, a deed, a be lief: it is an inner spirit and atti tude which Jesus calls love. means humble, reverent, devoted surrender to God, the giving of our selves in heart and mind and will. Religion itself Is the spirit and at titude that lies back of all the ex- pressions of life. You are welcome to all our serv ices.
