My text Is the question of the Sage:
 How do you spend Gods timer
 Man devotes the years of his life to various objects. He spends good share of his time in business. The question of bread and butter presses on his soul and he labors to i'll the want. He devotes some time, also, to rest and recreation. He must, on the average, spend six or eight hours of the 2i in sleep and he must also unbend the mind and rest the body In some sort of recreation. Now all time. But some men do not seem to have time enough in ordinary life and so they steal time. That Is, they take Gods day as time in which to do their own work or to seek their own pleasure. God gives us a good fair share of the time for our use. Six good solid days, His.Word says, are for us in which to do all our work. But the seventh day is the Lords day or perhaps, better, the first day Is the Lords day and then six days are for work days. Now, beloved hearers, Is 1t not n shame that some people will cheat God out of HIS time. There IS Bob Jones, who spends his Sundays doing up odd jobs in the cellar or out at the barn, never giv- ing God thought all day long. There Is spruce young Tommy Wildfire, who sleeps until noon Sundays and then hitch es up his colt and drives around all the rest of the day, while giddy Miss Daisy Dimple does nothing all day Sunday but parade the streets, dressed in her best, with never thought that Sunday is a holy day and not holiday. How our old Pilgrim Fathers would frown to see our modern dissertation, for they, when coming to this land, though in danger and peril, yet remembered when Sunday came around and kept it holy to God. So l say to you, What are you doing with Gods timeY
