The challenge to service ran thru-out his address as he called upon tl" leaders of the people and the potential leaders to remain active ui work of entirely eliminating child labor and in assuring for all people a living wage. "People are eager." he aid, "to receive guidance for the business of life and are ar.xicus to know how to back the realism in the present life. Nineteen hundred years ago men and women tried to see Jesus and are eager to see Him today.

While they can't see Him physically, men -everywhere are able to feel His presence." Two characteristic which Rev. Ma-thias said make Jesus outstanding are His humble spirit and His ability and power to forgive. With the spirit or forgveness in modern life, he rcid the world could be made a far better place. Speaking of wars and international relations, the clergyman declared that diplomats have not seen the spirit of Jesus, a fact that is evidenced by the continued race for greater armaments.
