Pastor Tells of Modernist Faith ••Dr. Frank Smith Delivers Third Lerture of Series to Large Audience. "The broadening Influence of Jesus Christ In spite of the fact that 20 centuries have elapsed since He com pleted His short public ministry Is sufficient challenge ot any Intelligent person to give to Christ and what ■has been said of Him the most earn <st consideration.” said Rev. Frank ‘I. Smith last night at the First Cen tral Congregational church In h!s lec ture on "What a Modernist Believes About Jesus Christ, Including His Pre-Existence. His Divinity anti His Second Coming." Dr. Smith said that practically all religious modernists believe in the divinity of Christ In the sense that they believed that In Hint was the finest revelation of the kind of life (iod wants all men to live. lie said some modernists believe in the story of tile virgin birth ns a blologlcnl miracle; others do not. Those who do not do not thereby hold the brief record «s given in two of the gospels as being untrue, but that we have failed to properly understand and in terpret It when taken in connection with the rest of the record. He said practically all religious modernists, however, unite on the Idea that tt is unwise to base faith in the divinity of Jesus upon anything so unstable as a physical fact that is subject to change with the Investigations of the coming generations. If, instead, we 'Aasc faith in Christ’s divinity upon a spiritual truth, the great truth that in Him was light, the moral and spiritual light, of God, then we are upon a foundation that can never be moved. He said modernists as a rule did not believe in tlie second coming of Christ in the sense that lie would come again in the flesh and set up a temporal kingdom here and rule the world, but they believed that gradual ly His spirit Is making its way Into the world, and that, age by age, men will slowly progress from grace to grace and from glory to glory until the kingdoms of this world shall be come the kingdoms of Christ. ■Ten asliington Counties Endorse Calvin Coolidge Tacoma, Wash, March 23.—Repub licans of 10 counties in various parts of Washington state held county con ventions yesterday and without an exception endorsed Calvin Coolidge With colds and influenza all too common just now, it pays to take regular preventive measures against them.

Oh!"—with sudden com prehending remembrance of the small structure half way to Hie bay which the driver had told me was bout house—“you mean they're to gel away by boat." "Kxactly!" she said. “Mrs. I'ndor wood in this note tells me that pas sage is all arranged on a ship, and that she herself will be out in the bay near here to-night on board a good-sized boat which will stand by ours until they both get . to a land ing place where your people can be transferred to the larger boat. After that it will be easy." “But suppose"—I began, then stop ped diffidently. “That the people trailing yon also think of the bay?" she said. “Well, that’s a risk we have to take, but 1 think it’s a light one. In the first place, they’re not absolutely certain you’re here. In the second place, they haven't had time to do much more than arrange for your trailing by auto, and besides, I don’t think It would occur to most men thai women would be willing to take a lot of children on a small boat Into the bay. They’d figure we'd be afraid of upsetting, or afraid in the dark or something.’’ That little Mrs. Bird had battled often with masculine disparagement of her courage and her ability, was easy to guess from her weary con temptuous tone. But the next sec ond she had dismissed from her mind whatever grievance she hail and she rose to her feet briskly. All Skill Needed. “You have a good two hours be fore it will be safe to start." she said. "Dinner will be ready to serve in an hour. You can get everything packed for them ready to go In that time, can you not?" “Ob, surely!" I promised readily. “Th^n I’ll just help you over to the rooms w ith the bundk s," she said, picking up the packages near est to her. “I ought to warn you, however, that the boat will be very crowded with your six passengers.” “The bulkiest of these things nri pATARRH 1 of head or throat is usually benefited by the vapors of— VICKS ▼ VapoRub Over 17 Million Jar* Ueed Yearly outer garments to I* worn by the children," 1 returned, smiling. "And I can have them wear double ward rob. - if necessary. Besides, one of my few accomplishments Is packing for a journey." "That's good. You’ll need alt your skill,” she replied as we started for the rooms where I had left lJr. and Mrs. Bralthwait* and the Harrison children. I paused with my hand on the doorknob. "Mow much do they know?” I asked. ■"Nothing save what you told them before you left." she rejoined. ‘‘Yoar sister-in-law said you had told her to start gt any time, and she looks ss if she would accomplish any task well." "She is very efficient,” I comment ed. and in another minute we were Inside our rooms, the parcels had been deposited on chairs and tables, and Mrs. Bird was outside again. "I* Kverythlng All Right?" A glance told me that Harriet, In deed. liuti followed instructions. The children, washed and brushed within the traditional inch of their lives, sat emurely around a small table ab sorbed in a game which Harriet had slipped Into her suitcase.
