Amid this changing world there are things that 'abide such as the sun­ shine and the rain, the seed time and harvest, the rising and setting of the sun, the song of the birds and the beauty of th© flowers. Also human «love expresses itself as it has all down through the ages. Courage and faith, iprayer, fellowship and communion, the word of God and immortality through Jesus Christ are the same yesterday, today and forever. In the evening Dr. Bryce spo/kie of the place of the church in the life cf the individual and throughout the world. It stands for the public Worship of God; for fellowship, for the development of character. It is against selfishness, greed and sin. It stands tor the ideal of unselfish service; for inter­ national brotherhood; for a love as wide as th© love *of God and for sal­ vation that comes through the love of Christ.
