Everybody is welcome.

The club room and athletics depart­ ment will soon be open. Mr. Moore. the Boy Scout man, is to be here next Tuesday for some demonstrations of his work. Every boy from > and ! yean of age up to 1C and 18 is ex­ pected te be out.

Next Sunday is going to be aa im­ portant day. The pastor wffl speak in the morning on "God's Storauoem,." In the evening the talk win be espe­ cially to young people OB "Little Things." Every young man and young lady is cordially invited.

The Old Testajoeat idea of God was that of a king seated upon a throne. Boaor a»d majesty are before Him. In the New Testament, without de­ nying this description of God. Jesus taught His disciple* to call God their Father. He taught mankind to say Oar Father in Heaven.- God is pres­ ent everywhere in the universe of His n^fciag He does: not dwell n some itmott part, careless and indifferent to the welfare of His children. Jesus taogtat SB that God cares more for His children than He does for thej birds of the air and the beasts of the Odd. God is »ot 90 present in His world tfeat we may say Nature is God and Uod is Xatnre. The carpenter builds a boose; it is his idea, his con- reptioB of what a house ought to be. Bat he and the house are separate. So man is one being. God is another. Uan is not God. and God is not man. The child inherits his father's nature. He is his father's flesh and Mood.

i But the father is one person, the child jis another prison. God is in us. but jwe are not God. He is oar Father, jwe are His ehiMren. ; The intermediate C. E. prayer meet- jing was led by Miss Leila CTQuinn, the topic being The Word-of-God

(Psalm.'1 IB the morning the pastor spoke on jthe subject. -God Forward."

Last Sunday evening the pastor be­ gan a series of sermons on the Chris­ tian doctrines, the first one being on "The Personality of God." Many per­ sons, even educated people, hare vague ideas of God. They cannot an swer satisfactorily to themselves, the questions, "What is God?" and "Where is God?" Several causes for this may be given: the greatness of the sub­ ject, ignorance of the Word of God. and lack of religions faith and expert enee. God cannot be comprehended, but He may be apprehended. God re* veals Himself in the natural world and in His written word. God hi a person. He baa a mind aad a will.

-BETTER BABIES DAY"

The child welfare department of the Torranee Woman's dub, in conjunc­ tion with the Cbember of Commerce and the Parent-Teachers* association. will hold Better Babies Day Oc­ tober ».

All mothers of Torraacc and vicin­ ity are invited to bring their babies to the Ugh school building to have

Dr. Maude Wilde of will be present to score

the hshirs. beginning at 10 o'clock.It is thought that this may lead to

the establishment here of a mothers' center, as there are from fourteen to eighteen Torrance mothers who take their babies every month ta Los An­ geles or some other nearby center.

This work does not take the place of a doctor, as it is wholly educa­ tional aad not clinical

When clinical intervention is neces­ sary the parent is requested to take the child to a physician aad have the

cause removed, then return to the center for Instruction in how to prevent its recurrence. It is not to core the child when ill. but to teach the mother bow to prevent such ill-

that such centers are estab­ lished.
