sern,ons to Young Men.

On lastSupday night. Rev. DR.. HAYES preach
ed the first of a series OF sermons addressed spe-
cially to Young men. His text was Genesis II:
the ground, and bresthed into his nostrils the
breath of life and man became a living SOUL"
The first questions to be considered are: Who
we are; aohat we are; how we got here; and
where we are going? He alluded to the modern
theory OF evolution for accounting for The
formation of man by improved development
from inferior organizations. and said it requir-
ed more faith to believe that than the more
simple mode given on ihe text; and that it was
repugnant, as it derogated from the dignity of
man. It was more agreeable to attribute our
parentage to God than to a chattering monkey.
In thinking of the oary-bearded patriarchs,
we are apt to lose sight of the fact that they
were once young men. Even the primal man
Adam-though he attained the age of9S6 years,
was once young man. The important thing
for the young man to consider is, that 1t is 'the
first step that costs'-it is the yielding to temp
tation for the first time that opens the way to
an evil life 1t was the first yielding to temp
tation on the part of Adam that filled the
world with woe. The young man should guard
against taking the first step in the path
OF sin. Young men should remember the in
huence they exist upon the characters OF each
other. Companions in youth bless or curse.
save or damn. each other. They cannot be too
careful to avoid yielding to mptation and In
f11eacing their eornpz Essons To do evil. They
should strive to save each other.

either the Republican or Democratic party or
their leaders. We do not propose to be drawn

aspirations, and hopes Of either Malone, Bar

who charge us with being other than what we
claim are, as they well know, manufacturing
their hearts they know to be false Our efforts
are made in a noble and holy cause, and If we
are not successful this time, we intend to fight
it out on this line, if it takes ten years contest
in the faith that God can defeat both the devil
