that his friend, Rev. Mr. Watts, had

Dr. Hunter'. theme for his mora-
ine
orn-ing sermon was The Value of Re-
ligion," the text being, "Godliness le
profitable unto u,il things" (1 Tim. 4:
8). Religion is a great help, aald the
speaker, in every phase of life if It is
that religion what has for its es.
pression the life of the Lord Jesus
Christ living in these difficult
times, we must hold on to religion.
This world has become so wonderful,
so complex, our knowsldge d the great,
universe has become so wide, that it
is dim ult to believe that the mighty
God Who created and set in motion
numberless worlds can really be Ir
terested In at, Inalgniticaut an atom
as man. As we learn to know God
through His Son, Jesus, the Christ,
we not only believe 1n His power sad
His greatness, but we believe also V
His love for'men tCa Individuals. This
belief in God Iles at the foundation
of religion. Someoue has said we

Religlob is not a matter of creed, et

Religion is a quality of soul. It L

which we call religion enables man
to meet the crises which are always
occurring In his career, and if his re-

he must make will be right and true. r;+.
