That the European war is not a collapse of civilization, but merely one of the "growing pains" In the progress of the human race, was the thought expressed by Bev. J. W. McDonald Sunday morning in the Second Presbyterian church on the subject. "The Growing Pains of Civilization." He likened the war to a boil on a man's neck, which is very painful, but gets rid of a great deal of poison.

"We sometimes think if we are advancing in the right direction and make no mistakes that life should be easy said Mr. McDonald. Mistakes Are Not Difficulties. "We think the difficulties of life come from its mistakes. This is not true.

Any person who holds this position Is constantly accusing himself and others for air the difficulties encountered. The fact is that the stress and strain and the tragedy of life are essential parts of it. God put them In life because he wanted them there. "You may bo good and you may be doing the right thing, but you will have difficulties to overcome. If you grow, you will have growing pains.

If our nation grows, it will have growing pains, and if the race grows, it will have growing pains. Easy Life No Useful. "Men in history who have grown most and have accomplished most have not had easy lives. The periods in which the human race has grown most have not been periods of quiet ease." Mr. McDonald's sermon was the first in a series on a number of subjects bearing upon each other which he will preach for a number of Sundays.

Beception of members will take place In the service next Sunday morning and an offering will be taken for women and children who are suffering in the war zones. To Union Meeting. There will be no service Wednesday evening, but the entire church membership is requested to attend the union meeting in the First Presbyterian church on Friday evening, at which time Dr. Bobert Wells Veech will make the address. The choir will practise at 7 o'clock Friday evening on account of the lecture.

The social circle of the church has arranged to give 10 per cent of what it makes on magazine subscriptions to the missionary society. Women of the church are planning a new "stunt" to make money. They will have a rummage sale of books in the church each Wednesday evening. All members of the congregation who have books worth while that they have read and do not wish to keep any longer are asked to bring them to the church, where they will be sold.

W. Carter of Decatur has for the position, which is the only elective office and the one which leads to the grand chancellorship.

MA1ENTHAL BROS, TAILORS. Town Talk. Says That Victim is Needed to Make Him Grew Beyond Confines of Small Mind. John B. Golden of Bloomington, Prohibition candidate for governor, spoke in the Central Church of Christ Sunday morning on the subject, "The Christian's Vision." He said in part: "The effort of God to lift man out of his narrowness has been the struggle of the ages.

The Bible is the story of that struggle. The one thing necessary for the growth of man is a large vision. A vision without limita tions or bounds; a vision large enough to let God into It. Vision Beyond Reproduction. "The painter paints a masterpiece only when there is a vision of the perfect picture which he cannot put on canvass.

The singer pours out a great melody only when there is a vision of a perfect song that cannot be uttered. The preacher, lifts his hearers into a new lite only when he has buried In his soul a sermon he cannot deliver. It is the pull of the larger vision that gives power in the work of life. We have been so slow to realize this truth in our Christian work. A self-satisfied Christian or church cannot have any power on the lives of people.

"It is the upward pull of high ideals that brings results in Christian life and work. Criticises Handling of Children. Bev. Mr. Golden criticized the present day teaching regarding the "teen age" problem.

He said that if people were more careful to tie the soul of the boy and girl to some high ideals at an earlier date, there would be no "teen age" problems. "These problems are here because our children drift and have nothing to help them overcome the temptations of life; If the child has a worth-while ideal, the temptations and hardships of life are but stepping stones on which they climb to a higher life. "The call is to the individual and the church, to teach the vision and then with their faces set toward that vision, press on toward the mark. Paul's life stands as the example or what one can do when one Is willing to forget the things behind and turn the face toward the prize." To Come Next Sunday. Bev.

Mr. Golden also spoke in the evening, his subject being, "The Choice of the He will occupy the pulpit in the church next Sunday. The church interior presented a pleasing appearance with its new decorations and carpet, and fair sized audiences attended both services of the day.

Eli.sha Safford Preaches Fine Sermon At Pretty Service In Church Decorated in Foliage. Referring to this season of the year, when the words, "We all do fade as a leaf," have a peculiar power and appropriateness, Bev.

Elisha Safford preached an autumnal sermon Sunday morning in Westminster Presbyterian church, giving a pretty interpretation of the association of the fading leaf with the waning life. "We can observe something of human nature in the leaf," said Mr. Safford. "Some leaves, like the oak, seem to struggle against the approach of winter. Others, like the maple, give up without a struggle and are transformed within a few hours from their green to brown and gray.

The same is true with people in regard to death. Impresses Lesson of Life. "In explaining a sort of indefinable sadness which many people feel in connection with the coming of autumn an analysis of the failing leaves, leads to the conclusion that the whole world of nature has entered into a conspiracy to impress the great lesson that life is passing away. As a rule, the preparation for the passing of a life is made up of gradual changes, just as the preparation for the removal of the leaves. "The conditions, chiefly atmospheric, to which the leaf is exposed, have to do with its beauty.

In the tropics there is no such gorgeousness of foliage as in the more temperate climates. In human life, the storms, disappointments and trials of life have a part in the development of the beauty of the soul, and some of the most beautiful lives are those whieh have met with the most storms and have triumphed over them." Foliage In Decorations. Decorations of foliage and flowers were used in the church, and the choir sang appropriate music. Rally day will be observed on Sunday, Oct. 29.

The Sunday school will give a program at that time. The ladies' aid society will meet Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 In the church. Business of importance will be transacted. The subject for the Wednesday evening prayer service is "The Bible Teaching of the Doctrine of Hell or Eternal Punishment." A Hallowe'en party is planned by the woman's Bible class for Oct. 26, and will be given in the home of Mrs.

Edward Wilson, 1174 St. Louis avenue. PLAN FOR RALLY DAY St. Paul's Sunday School Shows Increased Attendance. Services in St.

Rigg Refers to Decatur Predicament in Sermon on Precious Wells. In speaking on the subject, "The Water Decatur Needs Two Open Weils," in the Grace Methodist church Sunday Rev. N. M-Itigg said: "Wherever Abraham went he built an altar and then digged a welL The Philistines tore down his altars and stopped up his wells. Why.

I cannot tell unless it was a streak of pure yellow in human nature. There are two wells of living water, open today for everybody. One is the Bible and another. Prayer. What a great well our Bible is! It took a shift of 36 men 1,600 years to dig it-Moses dug and blasted with do-my-might (dynamite).

Paul reamed and drilled in prison. John's experience ranged from university professor to imprisoned exile. David passed from a cave to a king's palace. Daniel slept in a lion's den. Isaiah slaved in a logging camp while Jeremiah wept in a wailing place.

But tney gave us the Bible with its waters of life. Try to Fill It L'p. "But the Philistines of the world try their best to fill up this precious well. The dirt of worldliness, a busy life, pleasure, sin and folly are all hurled in. Have you let the rubbish of life cover your Bible? Then be an Isaac.

Dig it out and never permit it to be stopped in your life again." Both Sunday services were well attended in spite of the threatening weather. W. B. Olds fui fished special music in the morning Miss Lois Wasson sang In the evening service. Meetings This Week.

Rigg will begin a series of sermons for young people next Sunday night, the general theme to be "Grit and Grip."
