OF right instead of from a standard OF
policy There are many Who fost
along serenely up the tidal wave OF
social society and church ethics, bat Tor
earnest. sincere, aggressive Christian
work they are about as helpless "a
butterflies N shower of hail.
The faithful pastor does the work
and his people do the "rest." We need
seven day Christianity We need
honesty spread over all the days. IN
stead of extra thick" on Sunday.
Are we really a Christian people in
the true sense Of the work? When We
hear the good old deacon speak IN
prayer meeting, Ne say yes; but when
We see HIM clip into places where he
would not want his family 10 see HIM,
we simply say no. Does he not know
that the God 10 whom ne has so earn
eslly prayed, and worshipet, one hour
in the week, does not see hum IN his
evil ways? ., man; where Is thy con-
science?
Sin becomes more Of a sin, because Of
the age, opportunity, culture and pro-
fession of the transgressor. We some
times, and perhaps rightfuily, do excuse
the young and inexperienced, but there
comes n time 10 every man, and every
life, when we have right 10 look Tor
thoughtfulness, caution, consideration
and honor-a time when man should
reason concerning the relation of cause
and effect. We have, ana with just
reason, little patience with the man
who processes one thing and dellber-
ately does the other. A man who is
callow at 50, and causes the younger TO
follow HIM on the road to destructlouo
Every man has his vocation in life and
every vocation has its compensation;
that is, every man works for wages,
many for the wages Of sin. The more
worthy the employment, the nobler the
intent, the more satisfactory will be the
recompense, although financial or so.
ciai reward may be small, the con-
science of having done our best, Will IN
the end prove the most valuable
of all returns. A clear conscience and
a clean character will at last Offset the
millions and all dishonest unlawful
| pleasures connected with 1t. Money
and pleasure may be considered Al
good things, but they are by no means
the best things. Human life Is not
worth the living. nor the trouble and
constant struggle it costs to make il
good, if there Is nothing beyond the
present. Our work, to be effective
must be done in the believe of the
everlastingness of the human soul with
in us. Be not deceived, for God is mol
Knocked.
