At the Sunday evening service of the Luzerne Avenue Baptist church, the pastor. Rev. C, Conway, delivered a patriotic address, taking as his subject, "Lessons from tho Fourth of July." Mr. Conway drew a text from 1st Samuel 7:12, "Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Khen, and called it Ubenezer, hitherto hath the Lord helped us." This was to commemorate a great victory of the Israelites over the Philistines, and as it marks a great period In their history, so our Fourth of July marks a great point in ours; as they observed it. so too ought we. The Fourth of July teaches the recognition of God and recalls to mind the manner in which our ancestors recognized Him on that day. It gives to us the lesson of organization, as a power and as an advantage to men. It recalls the influence of women on our history, then and since. One great object lesson that It gives to us is that it is necessary to give concentration of mind and body to the gaining of our hoped-for end. Another thing It emphasises is the necessity, in working for beneficial ends, of committing oneself, publicly, to support of certain principles. Coming, as it did on eve of our great national holiday, the address was received In an enthusiastic manner by an appreciative congregation.
