Parents often neglect to have heart to blast talks with their children. He saw the value of a boy, ’There is a lad here!’ He used the boy as a boy and what he had. Ix>ve for Christ gave the incentive to all his work. ” At the ev-' ening service Mrs. Runyan an appreciative solo. Presbyterian Church. Rev. Gleiser spoke last evening on the first commandment, "Thou shalt have none other Gods before me.” The pith of his remarks follow: “How often these words fail to thrill us through and through, because they seem to fall short of us. And this I believe is due in i>art to the fact that we do not fully understand the clause introducing the ten commandpients. ’I am Jehovah thy God.' What does that mean to you? Jehovah is a word formed by the union of three hebrew words and means. He that will be, He that is, and He that was. The heLrew for God is Elohim, and in plural it means, the supreme object of worship. Npw this sentence, ’I am Jehovah thy God,’ means. He that will be. He that is, and He that was. the supreme object of worship. It is upon this that the first commandment is based.” “But let us endeavor to ascertain what the commandment involves? If we accept this statement (I am Jehovah thy God) then. He is sufficient and no other can hold that same place in his life. “Within the breast of every man there is the desire for a God. He cannot survive without having an objtet of worship, though that object may assume various forms, and though the center of worship be a false one. no sooner has man broken the connections with the Wither than does he turn to connect himself with some other form of worship. It may I be himself, or Baal, or MoHoch, or | Mammon Men are worshiping ttyase ancient Gods today, but they give unto them new titles, high sounding names seem to some to take away frem their coarseness. The God of Cruelty is ever at work pressing hard upon the lives of those who are helpless. The God of Bestiality is busy. Think of that horde of fallen women in this land. Who supported them? The worshippers of Baal, the God ol Bestiality, and the lust for Gold has such a grip upon society, that we need to utter loudly these words of the first commandment, and there are people who are making what they cat. alid what they put on their Gods. Many Imlay are thinking only how they may gratify to a larger extent their senses. And to be outspoken I throngs today are making their busi- , uess their God. A man says—‘my bus- . iness supports me and my family.' 1 like the force with which Campbell • Morgan answers that. 'lt is a lie: God supports him and his family. Men deal with God only as a last resource, i and yet go on hoping to sneak into i God's heaven when they are done with . this world, but the God of Sinai is s thundering to this age. Thou shalt t put me first, and business second, i Thou shall have none other Gods be- . fore me.” — o A Glorious Time (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tiie old battleground. on hlih'li b ■ fought the last two days of the battle until wounded In the arm. He was u member of the artillery and suffered a severe injury of the arm, being taken to the hospital. He vis ited the exact s|x>t where he was, wounded and also went over the greater part of the battle field. The occasion was one ol much inspiration j and will be remen’bered by the boys I as long as they live. Pretty little souvenir cards were given out by John Wanamaker. feeing i cards bordered with a blue and a gray i linked line, with the G. A. R. emblem : at the top. The cards road: "On this hallowed ground of Oetlys-i burg, consecrated by Abraham Lincoln, the martyred President, today, j after the lapse of half a century, the north and south meet with the east and west, under the nation's flag, to do honor to the soldiers still living and to pay loving and respectful hom-' age to those who are asleep in the j stillest of all slumbers.
