Prov. 10:18 and "And who-

: never shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humbule himself shall be exalted.” Matt.

2312.

Rev. Bruner said in pail: "An inti ible enemy with smokeless powder makes the bravest man quail, and those tin- which, somehow, we cannot put our fingers on at all times, are tre ones we need to fear most. Such a feeling as this way back in the Middle Ages led many of the theologianto the task of singling out the most insidious sin which war against thi mil. In the course of debate seven were agreed as the subtlest and worst;

and the treatment of these sins—The I"''*'

1 thou" type of religion which has on mnl Thanksgiving Proclamation indiabled many people to get by in th( | 'ate that we are a penitent people,

oretty much adrift'.’

Dr. Taylor showed how one aftei another religious cu-toms and instituions which formerly functioned fot he strengthening of the religious lief if our people, have been abandoned. The American Sabbath has given place to the Continental Sunday, a lay for recreation and sports. Does lot the religious situation in Ameri:i afford to a modern Jeremiah us much occasion for Ids ancient accusation as was afforded by Israel of that ancient day. “Ye have forgotten God

Jays without number.”

If this is so, what of it? What does it matter? There are certain noisy groups in this country who insist that the sooner our people forget God the better. They advocate the hasty throwing off of all religious restraints and the giving of a free rein to nature’s impulses. But this is not the voice of experience. History evidences the fact that not nation has long enduured after its religion had become a dead issue. It was the voice of experience

! Church on Sunday as saints and livi like the devil in their community all the rest of the week. There are fewer jof these people in the Churches today i today because the Church is getting more uncomfortable for them every

year.

There is yet an other way in which this sin manifest- itself, and that is in the pride of power. History has many illustrations of both men and

SERVICES nations which have come to ruin he-

j cause of their pride in their power. The penalty of this sin of pride is always the same. It leads to utter ruin and closes the door of salvation to the

soul.”

I he word lost is art adjective,

lot a noun. The noun is the thing. The -oul is still a soul, though a lost soul. The word lost describes only a relation, not a change. The boy in the far country was a son still. Sin had not destroyed the possessive case. Saved men do not become angels, nor do lost men become demons. Men are lost here and now. They are out of right relations with God. Men are not as burl us they cun be—not so bad as they might be if left to themselves. They are not beyond t hope. They are yet on this side of . j the judgment, and are to be sought

Our educational system is nothing more than an organized search for our children, and he is the best teacher—not who imparts the most information, hut who finds the child. The history of the whole world is the history of the search for man. Paul joins in this search. The passion of his soul was to find Paul. He tried many ways of finding what he sought, only, at last, to find himself in Chri-t. On the Damascus road Christ found him. The son of righteousness, with healing in His wings Hushed into his soul. Then and not 'till then, he found himself, and became another man. It is not until a man finds Christ, and in Christ finds himself that he finds rest. The righteousness' that is in Christ becomes his when he surrenders to Christ. The strength that is in food becomes ours when we take it in our bodies. The life that is in the air becomes ours when we breathe it in, and submit our blood to it. The harmony of life’s music becomes ours, when we lend our ears and hearts to it. So Christ

"1‘iide of material possessions is one of the most deadly sins in America tr day. Most of the real snobbery in our country is amo ng the “newly rich." When great fortunes are made < vet- night and people move out of a live room flat into a mansion, they eannot stand the pre-sure. This sin of |.i ’ !e of great possessions makes the problem of law-enforcement very i < utc in America and is doing more than alrno-t any other one thing to breed social unrest and religious in-

difference.

"Pride of intellect is another com-

tiod”. He took for the text Jeremiah’s accusation against Israel, .Ter. 2,32, "My [leople have forgotten me day without number”. He said in part: This is a strange accusation against a people who were much given to boasting of the fact that they were the chosen of Jehovah, a people whose history evidenced so much that seemed to be Divine interference of their behalf. Of all people they should he the last to be quilty of forgetting God at the point where loyalty to their religious convictions involved a loss of popular favor. They were trim liters. They had forgotten God at the point of their social contacts. They were oppre-sing the weak for the promotion of their own selfish gains. They had forgotten God at their very

A like unhappy end await- our America, if we heed not thewarning voice that bids us return and recover that controling consciousness of God, which unhappily we are losing. Presbyterian Church The services in the Presbyterian Church on Sunday were devoted to the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the birth of John Bunyan, which is being observed in every part of the world this year. In the morning Rev. V. L. Raphael spoke on the theme: "John Bunyan, Puritan”. He said in part; "There was something almost thrilling to me this past summer at Auburn Theological Seminary Library when i had the privilege of contact with a wealth of Bunyan material, some of it a hundred and twenty-five years old bearing the date of 1804. To rightly ccmpreheml the importance of the subject of this message, it is necessary to know something of the time in which he lived. Succeeding the great days of Elizabeth came the notorious immorality of the court of the Stuarts. Against this the Puritans set their faces like flint. The pendulum probably swung too far, but the Puritan rule steadied the nation. With the coming of the Restoration the old evils were again rampant. Cheever says ‘It was an age of great revolutions, excitements, genius, talent, extremes in good and evil; great piety and great wickedness; freedom, tyranny and oppression.’ John Bunyan was the son of Thomas and Margaret Bonnionn (old spelling), an itinerant tinker. He was born in Elstow, England, in Di28, prob : bly in November, as the Church Register records his baptism on the 30th of that month. He was given an education accorded boys of poor parent-. This lad of humble birth was destined to the contemporary of Milton, Baxter Owen, Howe and George Herbert. From His Book “Grace Abounding” we learn of his early profligracy, sincerely told of his sensitive nature, with an imagination quick to realize impressions. He gave himself up to our sing, swearing and blaspheming the holy name of God. Philip tells us that upon advice of his few friends he married at the age of 19, having in mind that such a step might reform him. They had neither dish nor spoon, hut his wife brought him two books which played an important part in his life. His process of conversion was a slow one, as it involved many ups and downs. Eventually he gave up his unfortunate habits and passed into a moral state. Through the influence of three old women and Rev. John Gifford he accepted Christ and united with the Baptist Church. Very shortly he began to preach, hut within a few months after the Re.-toration he was arrested for refus-

“Pride of spiritual perfection is one of the mo-t deadly form- in which this sin works. It was against this sin, embodied in the Scribe* and the Pharisees, that Jesus of Nazareth fought for his ideals and his life, it wa - thi- led on to his crucifiction.

It is this sin that nukes hypocrite* in the Church today i- for a genuine reality in religious experience, and not for that "holier-than-

Dr. Taylor raised the question as to whether or not there is in the life of our American people any likeness to what Jeremiah found in Iris people I-raol. He pointed to the fact that we in America have not been slow to claim that we are a nation whose God is tire Lord. We have inscribed upon our coin the motto, "In God We Trust" And yet is our conduct in keeping with our claims? Are we as a people governed in our religious activity by the dictate* of conscience or the dictates of expediency? Do we bend all the other interests of our life to conform to our religious convictions, or do we bend our religious conviction- to conform to our pleasures? Are we guided in our social end economic relations by the service motive

He often preached to his fellow prisoners and through the kindness of the jailer was permitted to leave the prison frequently during the first half of hi.sentence hut not during the latter part. Many of his writings like those of Paul bear the mark of being written in bondage. Among them is that matchless book "The Pilgrim’s Pro-

John Tnebout said of him “The whole compass of biography exhibits not a character more interesting than that of a man converted from singular depravity of manners to eminent piety; and raised from deepest ob scurity to be an author celebrated for genius and uncommonly useful to
