BIBLE DOES NOT FLUTTER PRIDE

Tells Us Thai All Have Sinned and Come Short of the Glory of God, Says Rev. T. J. Parsons. "In our journey toward the Holy of Mailt., wo a-d through the only -utc, which typified Christ, in His fourfold character. Then wc came to the altar of acrit'ice just within the court, which alio ?ioko of Christ as the L-amb of 11. vhich ta.kcth away the mii of the world.' siid Rev. T. J. I'ar.wns, pastor of Qulncy Street Baptist church Sunday evening in his sermon "The Ta.herna.ele. of Israel." This was tho third sermon of a series of talks on this subject. Illustrated with a miniature model of the tabernacle. In lart Mr. Parsons yaid: "V! need to rimcmld-r that t)ic order in which these articles ver? Ida cd, as well an their construction, ;vh .specified hy Ood and contain a XTOiOund meaning. The laver could not 'jo placed before the altar, nor taken inside the house. We must not chan ire God's order in the plan of salvation. Home people- desire to have a Christian experience without accepting the atoning blood of Christ, but that is Impossible. "The laver was made of the polished bia.K mirrors donated by the women of Icrael and brought from Kpypt. Thin surely susKcsts that Cod vould have us consecrate to His u:-o the graces, talents and adornments which we prized in our worldly life: also that He will accept these poor earthly embellishments and sanctify til. -in to His Klory. ."The laver. then, was a mirror In whic h the priests were to t-ro. not their bauty but their blemishes. This is typical of the Word of Cod. The Rible does not llattcr human pride: it tell us that human nature is a mass of bruises and putrifyin sores and the righteousness of man but as filthy rags, for there is none righteous, all h;vo sinned and come short of the Klory of Cod. , "Cut the laver was more than a mirror. It contained a cleansing element, for it was kept constantly idled with water. It is not sutlieient to reveal the vilenes,s of the human he-art, the Kreat m:-d Is a, means of lemovinK the stains of sin. That was the (pu stion proposed by Joseph Cook of Boston at th- Parliament of Pensions in Chicago. Me said: 'Mere is Rady Macbeth. See how she rubs her hands. Out, damned spot. Will these hands ne'er be- clean? All the perfumes of Arabia could not sweeten this little hand. And her husband, in a similar moon, says: This red riHt hand, it would the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making th trreen erne red. What religion can wash Iady Macbeth's red riht hand? Dr. Cook put the question to every religion in the world, and then concluded that there; In -only one remedy for the in-stained, and that is found in the c.ospcl of Jcftis Christ. 'Though ur sins be as scarlet, the-y shall be ;;s white as suow red like crimson, wool.' though they be they shall be as "Tills is the unique the Word of Cod. in the living Holy .Spirit. peroative ef which dwells No either book on the human acts as a Fearchllirht heart and at the same time is capable of cleansinp from sin. Such was the symbolical meaning of the laver. The altar spoke of God, the Son, the laver speaks tf (Joel the Spirit. "The laver bore still another significance. The priests were already ceremonially clean and consecrated, hut in the plying of their daily tasks they were liable to become spotted with defilement in the open court, therefore, they must wash before enteringthe sanctuary to serve God in more immediate communion. The Christian is clean through the 'washing of regeneration by the Word, but is liable to become soiled in his daily contact with the world: therefore, he needs constant report to the Scriplures in order to enjoy hallowed com munion with God. It is the Christian's glorious privilege, not only to be cleansed by the blood of Christ, but to bo tilled with the Holy Spirit, and to have the Weird of Cod a sanctify -ins power In his life.'

EVIL HABITS ARE MEN'S WORST ENEMY Get Grip n One That Is Hard to Shake, Say llw. George Win. Allison.

"In the Toils of Habit," was the topic of the sermon last evening at Hope Presbyterian chapel by the min-ii-ter, George William Alh-on. In part he said: "There is a story by Mary Shelley called 'Frankenstein,' which relates an imaginary creation of a giant similar to man who was then endowed with life. This gitrantie creature then demanded of his scientific creator the cnation of a mate, that he might beget progeny. This wa: refused by Frankenstein, who then becomes the victim of a series of tragic incidents both directly ;uid indirectly. "There are more "1-rankest iris.' in the world than tlif imaginary one of ; Mary Shelley's. Kvery man who is submitting to the creation of an evil habit Is putting himself in exactly tb- position of the one who was h rs euted by this monster. He will sooner or later find himself in the throes of forces which he is no longer able to control ami which are wrecking his life. "In the Vatican at Rome, this same theme is impaled in marble in the famous 'baocoon Group,' which shows a father and his two sons strugglingto free themselves from the roils of a powerful serpent which are slowly j y t ce rtainly crushing them to death. So with habit. Once in the toils a man finds himself cruelly helpless. There is no escape. 'Occasionally a man will declare his freedom and reform. This, a-ain reminds us at an ancient legend, that of Promethus. Promethus was bound to a rock on account of rendering service to a man contrary to the wishes of the gods. Here each day a vulture was sent to devour his liv r, which Zcnus caused to grrnv acain each night. So he was forced to endure this unspeakable agony without end. Here is the picture of the man who in a moment of decision decides to reform. Hut with the coming of another day he is forced by habit to endure the shame ef fallin into his old depredation again in spite of himself. He is in the toils of habit, 'gripped hy coils as cold as stony steel!' We pity those whom habit controls, who have become the creature of their circumstances, rather than the master. More to be 'dtied are they than blamed, yet they are not without responsibility. "We see thus how literature and art confirm, the Christian gospel. It was because of the habit of sin incarnated in his fleshly body that Paul was forced to cry out that the things he w ished to b he failed to do; while things he wished to avoid, those he habitually did. We have all felt ourselves within the toils, of sin. And there is no other way of freedom than 'in the name of Jesus.' And the man who would be free, can be free only as he avoids the formation of habits which degrade. Fur habit is a tyrant; while, Tis as easy to be heroes as to sit the idle slave, of a legendary virtue carved upon our father's grave,' as the poet has it. Hear Paul's further words: 'For freedom did Christ set us free; stand fast thcrefoi and be not entangled again in the yoke of bondage!' " The sermon in the morning was upon the theme "Liberators and Freedom." and was of a patriotic nature. AMERICAN FLAG IS THE GREATEST EMBLEM One Dark Spot, the Saloon, Still "Old Glory" Says Itev. W. M. lYesliUw. on "Old is the Glory," our national emblem, greatest Hag that is unfurled over any nation," said Hev. W. M. Freshley. pastor of the First Fvangelical church Sunday evening in his sermon on "A Clean Flag." "Its white stands for purity. its blue for loyalty and its red for blood that purchased the liberty for which it stands. Purity and liberty were bought by the loyal patriots who shed their blood to make the country the land of freedom. "Jesus believed in liberty, but not in that liberty calh d "Personal lihertv.' Jesus met the two devil us met the two devil-pos-n of Gadaria and drove the , sessed mi til t l w IMH VJV L.i ; K- ,in -.! f iir.' ti- n t ltit t M r 1 swire, the swine went into the sea. Then these hog tenders went into the city to tell the hog owners what happened te the hogs. They went out and asked Jesus to leave their country and destroy their personal liberty. "There were two b!a'k spots on our Hag. Abraham Lincoln wiped one out when he signed the emancipation proclamation. The other will beforelong be wiped out by the American voters when they sweep the liquor tratlie from the coluntry. "The Chicago Tribune kept a record for 10 years and found that .... murders were committed v drunken men. In a certain state prison So per cent of the prisoners were users of liquor when they committed the crime. Out of 25 life termers 24 of them were under the intluence of liquor when the crime wa-s committed. "The saloon is a big rat hole, where men dump their hard earned money and get nothing but bhered eyes, red nose, empty pockets, shame and disgrace. In the insane asylum they test the inmates by putting them in a room with cement Moor and give them a mop and turn on the water and tell them r, mop up the water. If a man is crazy he will keep up mopping, if not ho will turn off the faucet We have been mopping at the saloon for a leng time, but now it about time to turn off the faueet. ne out of every four boys becomes a drunkard. 1 s.;y unfurl 'old Glory' over every factory, store, shop, school and church, but f..r the sake i oi ue ceiu may u' cm. mm o; noenv soon cea.M1 to protect the mot gigantic evil on this old earth, the liquor traillc.'

LIFE OE CHRIST PUREST AMD BKT

"The Certainties of Our Faith" is Subject of Sermon' Delivered by Dr. James L Gardiner. "The Certainties of our Faith" was the subject of the sermon delivered last night by Rev. James I,. Gardiner. I. L., pastor of St. Paul's M. K. church at the Grace M. K. church. In speaking on his subject he said: "Tiiis age has been frequently dcj .-cribed as an asje of doubt and scep- ' ticism. 1 think, however, we would ! be nearer the truth if we spoke of it j as an ntio of intellectual and theological unrest. It is an age when many I beholding' one position after another giving way in their creed are asking with much concern is there anything of which we are absolutely certain in the Christian faith? "Let me say in reply I am not here to preach my doubts. I am here to preath my convictions. 1 believe there are many things of which we are certain in the realm of religion. "Wc are certain that the Pible is 1 1 oils uigiiesi ami dim ieciauvn iu the children of men. During the past IT. years it has met with much criticism, but it still stands intact. Compare this book with the Koran, the Mormon Pible and with other religious books and you will ;.ml that it towers above them as the mountains tower above the sea. It has been well said that a tettcr book than the Pible will never be written until a better life than that of Christ be lived. "We are certain of the great fact of God. In Him we live and move and have our being". We knov that He is our Father and that Mis highest attribute is that of lovr. The love of Cod is one of the greatest facts of Holy Scripture. Xo man comes into the world hated of God. Kvery man is born loved by the Heavenly Father. "We are certain, toe), of the fact that the life of Christ was the purest and bist life ever lived on earth. He was without sin. All other men have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Nineteen centuries have tried to blacken the white name of Jesus, but He still stands without spot or blemish. , "We are also certain of the great fact that Jesus Christ is able to save men from their sins. The world is a great sinner, but Jesus Christ is a great Saviour. Xo matter how far we have wandered from God He is aide to save us. We are lost in sin. but we are not hopel-isly lost. Jesus Christ has come into the world to save that which is lost. "Let us, therefore, amid the theological changes that are ceuning to us from elay to day hold to these great fundamental facts of our religion the Pible is Clod's highest and best revelation. God stands in the relation of Father to us all; that Jesus Christ has set before us an example of a life without sin; and that we though sinners may be made whole through Mini, who said, 'I came to give my life a ransom for many.' ' ,. i i,tu.. ..-,-1 i.. .. t, MEN OF VISION ARE NEEDED IN COUNTRY Honor of American Citizenship Should Not Be Lightly IWMowrd. "Citizens of the Times." was the subject of the sermon delivered by Pev. Chas. A. Decker, pastor of the First Paptist church Sunday evening. The services were' of a patriotic character cTnd the choir sang sevral appropriate numbers ineluTing the national anthem and Kipling's "Recessional." Rev. Decker said that the citizens i neeelcd in these times, as in all others, i are men who have knowledge, sympathy, courage and vision. Xo real and useful citizen will bewail his lot as did Hamlet when he cried "The tiim.s art. out of jointf 0 cursed j itt that tV(.r l w;f, 1mrn to sot thern right." He dares to look the facts in the face. What he sees is often ! very discouraging, but he knows he 1 cannot act wisely until he knows the whole situation. The men of '76 took ' all the facts into consideration be- ; fore they signed the memorable docu- ' nient, and now- we know they acted I their part we ll. , , , This country does well to welcome iall w ho wish to i ome here to make homes and help to further the jro.r- ! ress of humanity. Put she should demand of such future citizens a ! knowledge of her institutions and a j sympathy with them which wfll make j tiieui helpful citizens of the times. Xaturalization, including as it docs ! the ballot, is a precious boon, and i - tiould be guarded witn all tho care its importance deserves. The ignorant and unsympathetic cannot be good citizens especially in these times of great achievements and great crises. One of the great, nee-ds of the times is an increasingly large number of i citizens who have vision, as well as practical sense and a grasp of everyday affairs. We need men of vision more than we need men of war. A sensible idealist does more for his country than a great military genius. The country does not advance by the brutal force of military power, but bv the quiet, compelling power of i great ideals. We should honor the j seers thinkers and idealists of the i past much more than we de the warriors Important as they are in their place and time. The Chinese put the lighters Tift 1 1 ,in the scale of Importance, they put the prophets first. And in this they do wisely. The men who know wh;t America ought to do are the men of the hour, if coupled with that k iowbdu'e they have sympathy, courage and vision.

SUPERNATURAL IS PART OF RELIGION Is Spoken of in All tho Rooks of tho llible Says Itcv. John O. Moicr. "The true element in the Christian religion is the supernatural. We cannot he true Christians in the sense of the Xew Testament without believing in the supernatural." said Rev. J. O. M osier, pastor of Mizpah K an-relical church, Sunday evening in his sermon en the subject. "The Supernatural in Religion." "We rind that the supernatural element is spoken of in ail the books of the Pible in some form or .another. In Genesis God speaking to Abraham as a man talks to another; in Kxodus the giving of the Manna for 40 yearu; in numbers we read of the brazen serpent and the healing that came to all who heeded it, which must have been supernatural elements manifested everywhere. "When Jesus was here He turned water into wine, gave sight to the blind, unstopped the deaf ears, made the lame to walk and raised the deael, all of which was supernatural. "Taking the supernatural out of religion leaves it with a form, but with no life. It is like shutting ed'f the current, it leaves the machinery all intact but no power. The church of today needs power and this power is pronounced through the Holy Spirit." DETECTIVE BREAKS FINGER Dive r Says He SiilTerci Injury Crankin Auto.
