Walter J. Damrosch was born January 30, 1862. He is credit ed with many innovations which have become musical common places. He was the son of a conductor and an opera singer in Germany. On his father’s death, young Damrosch took over much of his work. He helped develop both the New York Orchestra and the Metro politan Opera.

BROAD!R Christianity Is not a voice in the wilderness, tut a life in the world. It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground, going God’s way . It Is not an exotic idea to be kept under glass, but a hardy pl;.rt to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling him by great or dear names, can take the place of plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but It is wasted breath and a restless hope, un less we plow and plant in Kis Kingdom here and now. Tc re member Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain every day goodness for we live in deeds, not years in thoughts, not breath, in feeling, no in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts best. Let us pray: Though our sins be as scar let, O Father, Thou canst make them as white as snow. Pardon our past mistakes and give us greater strength and determi nation to live up to Jesus per fect example today and the days to come, vte thank Thee for the oossibilities of human life. Kelp us to be our best selves. Fill us with love, patience and under .standing, so that through us other persons may receive the love with which, we are com forted. Help us to h* holy by forgiving our sins and making us more like our Savior. May Christ daily be seen in un living. Letters known and read of all men and dedicated to Christ daily be seen in as. Living letters known arid read of ail men and dedicated to the our use. for His sake. Amen. # * * WILSON TEMPLE UNITED METHODIST - Church School began at 9:30 a.m. with the general supt., Miss NanieMor gan, in charge.
