ASTDR TELLS Rev. Parsons Says it is Not the Revolting But the Insidious That is Dangerous. "More ouls are lured to wreck and ruin by the seducive soft south wind than by all the blasting storms which threaten destruction. It is not the devil of horns and hoofs that we need to be on the lookout for. but the de il w ho appears as an angel of liqht. It is not the revolting, hideous, f t I sins which catch the unsuspecting youth, but those which are perfumed, attractive and apparently Innocent. and lead t false suppositions." These w ere the words of I lev. T. J. Parsons, pastor of th Quincy Street ltaptist church, Sunday morning, in his sermon on the huhject. "Tern-pest-Tost." This was one of a series of marine sermons, based on St. Paul's voyage and shipwreck. In c"t'.nuing the address Itev. Parsons said: "First, the destructive power of a mo ft .south wind. The 13th verse rearisi: 'And when the south wind blew softly, supposing they hal obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and Railed alontr Crete, close to the shore.' And thereby hangs a tale, ami a. terrible one. too. The preacher prisoner had uiven his warning, hut who cared for thut. and now that the balmy southern jephyr seemed to call Paul a croaking pessimist, the captaän gave orders to "heavc-ho." and soon the sails were ilappinc and cracking in the autumn breeze; the ship heaed and fell on the blue waves of the

Mediterranean as the happy passengers waved farewells to the port of Fair Havens. I-Ynrvd MrrnV Call. "Clysses was not nearly so afraid of the wrath of Neptune as lie was of the winsome call of the sirens off the coast of Italy. It is the faNe supposition hy the engineer that lie has the right of way that tills the night air with the piercing shrieks of disaster and death; it is the superb appointments ami intoxicating pleasures of a Titanic which hliml the passengers to the dangers of the deep until the mountain of ice unsheaths its hidden Made and, like a giant gladiator, disembowels the leviathan at one stroke, and tills the sea with its silent dead. Just so, you see the glaring lights and inviting entranc to the halls of sin, but not the back alley of shame and suffering and death. The underworld seldom has a funeral; it cannot afford to. "Second The Cruelty of Sin. It rirst allures and then mocks its poor dupe. 'Not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind.' That self-deceived load of human freight was caught in a ruthless storm called a typhoon and wis d-iven lfeiie the hurricane. What a picture of sin. You cannot trifle with it. tx't fouml that to pitch his tent in the direction of Sodom soon brought him within its gates; Samson learned that Delilah's caress was swiftly followed by Ielilah's treachery, and the projiidal's ruin soon followed on the heels of his rioting. Sow to the wind. even though it be soft and balmy, and you will reap the whirlwind. Diin't play rluvkcr with the deil ami rIxM to iii the- game. "Third The Struggle for Life. First they tried to keep the boat from Ri'hc to pieces by putting cables about her. then threw out the freleht. then the furniture, and finally gave up all hope of being saved. Here again Is a parable of spiritual experience. Many a man. caught in hell's euroclydon casts out manhood, honor, self-respect, character, and then sinks in utter .ipr,ir

SOME THINGS WORSE THAN WAR SAYS HOSTETTER I Ilotlor to Mourn, 1ass of Soldier Than That of Liberty and Righteousness. "America, the Land of Liberty," was the subject of the sermon delivered by Ilev. II. H. Hostetter, pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian church, Sunday evening. He said the study of history reveals the fact that every nation that has risen to prominence has been guided by some great central idea. 'This dominant principle has given a character and direction to all their institutions." he said. "With the ancient Greeks the central idea was beauty; with the Hebrews it was (Jod; with the Persians it was life; while among the Romans law held the dominant place. "Germany, in recent decades, has btood for organization, scholarship, srientitic research. France has been the world's center of art and fashion, while Knirland is the great colonizing power. "l:ut how about the l,'nitod States? Is there any great central controlling idea in otir national life? From first to last the dominant principle in America has been individual liberty. The thought of freedom has made a change in all our laws and institutions. The first colonist who came to settle this country left the old world to erape its tyranny. "Just now we are hoping and praying to avert war with Mexico; but who can prophecy what the outcome will be? Perhaps America has something which Mexico needs must have, and which only war cn carry to them. Awfni u war in. there

are some things that are worse than war. Iietter a thousand times that .a nation mourn tb."i death of her sons than that she stand disconsolate at the grave of liberty, or truth, or riRhteousness. Character is worse than continued existence. It is better to lose l;fe Itself than to sacrifice the great principle that alone can make life worth while." FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD PREDICTS GOOD BUSINESS Cro Reported IVtter. While In. ilutrles Are 1 Said to he Working to CaTaity. WASHINGTON. July ?,. General business conditiors continue gooI and the outlook for next month is excellent, according to oiticial reports of the fedeial reserve board, made public FTunday night in the board's monthly statement. Crops are reported better than normal in nost sections. Ir.duFtries are said to be working to capacity ami further increases are noted in building construction. FY Dm nearly every reserve district, there is a call for more labor, with wages mounting. "Some of the munition plants are anticipating the end of toe war and making plans to manufacture commodities for use i:i times of peace," the report says, "a iding to the grow ing feeling that the end of the war will not have the disastrous effects on the industries which some interest. feared." There is no perceptible leerease In business in th-? Chicago district where labor Is well employed and a number of strikes have been settled. The banks in the larger centers still have excess fund? but a demand i9 growing which has trer.gther.ed rates and a stronger money market H expected.
