A iQrge nunioer or tne members of Jhe Jr. IT. A, M, attended the service at the First Reformed church 'last night to hear Dr. Weist preach a )Krong sermon. "A Momentous Question What TJiink Ye of Christ?" was the subject tised by the, evangelist. The speaker roferrod to many grave questions needing solution in the home, the state and the ehnrchv lie contended, however, that the qaestion of Christ is the most momentous of til, oeosaue of the fact that on its answer de pends the place of every man In the eternal world. "Hew shall wo answer this ques tion?" he said. "In the same way we answer any other question. First call to the mind the claims of Christ. He claims to have existed from all etern ity; to be one with Ood; to have come from heaven to save the world;, to be the way, the truth, the life; that no man can come to the Father but through Him. . How can we es tablish the truth of those claims." Dr. Welst declared that the real depth of knowledge Impelled to faith in the divinity of Christ and he quoted many statesmen, soldiers, scientists, philosophers and literary men who were glad to receive Christ as Son of God and Savior of men. An important feature of last night's service was the solos render ed by Mrs. H. I. Coffleld and Dr Welst. Rev.
