The theme of the assembly was “Take No Anxious Thought.” The program began with a period of fellowship during which those present became acquainted. Dr. E. M. Moffett, a returned missionary from India, spoke about that country. Dr. Ira Barnett, s retired execu tive secretary of the Florida con ference, made an address, “Shall We Substitute Faith for Worry?” O. A. Jeff coat, Jr. of Colum bia, spoke, on making wills and investments. This was followed by discussions. “Shall we Lead our Churches into a Larger Service for Older Adults,” was the next topic used by Dr. Barnett, dean of the Flor ida Older Adult Assembly. A play, “Joint Owners in Spain ” was enjoyed by all. Sermons by Dr. P. E. Cook, superintendent of the Orange burg District and Dr. Francis Cunningham, president of the Conference Board of Education, were heard. Features of the three- day meeting were basket-making, leather work, weaving, braiding, sermons, lectures, games and tours. Mrs. L. G. McCullough and H. L.

Sligh, Mrs. Je rome Harmon, Mrs. Bessie Floyd Mrs. L. G. McCullough, Mrs 5 . J. W. White and Mrs. H. D. Wil liams. REV. ROBERT H. HARPER CALLED TO BE SAINTS DAUL addressed Christians al L Rome as “called to be saints.” At the time he wrote, Rome had a population estimated at from one to three millions. It was the greatest city in the world and the capital of the Empire. It was also the center of the world’s vice and cruelty. Yet Paul addressed the Christians there as those “called to be saints.” The many do not think of the average Christian as one called to be a saint. This is not due to the exalted idea of a saint but to the low estimate of the Chris tian. A saint is not such because he is lifted to such a high plane that he is not subject to the dif ficulties and temptations of ordi nary and lesser mortals. Far from it. A real saint is one who dwells in the midst of his fellows and learns his wisdom and attains unto his saintliness from the lives of man, men his brothers, all around him. Every man should strive to be a saint because it is possible for him to be a saint. And for a man-to realize that he can be a saint is to realize that ho ought to be a saint. If men could be Christians in the city of ancient Rome, they can be Christians any where.' Men are called to be saints, to live and serve as real Christians. Resolve to be a saint, and by the grace of God begin now to work on your resolve. TOP CADET . . . Robert Stewart of Washington, D.
