This subject Is a practical one for
everybody Il Is claimed In our times
that men have lett the faith Of their
foreiathers' and are no longer guided
by those principles Of revealed religion
which were the stay Of their ancestors
II Is a subject which We must. should
and can face. There are several class
Is OF persons concerned Ia this aban-
donmont First, those to whom such
a surrender would be a release from all
restraints There are such people,
they are found In every walk OF life.
They wish to have their own way In
everything They represent selfisbness
In lis highest form. In the State they
are anarchlstie. opposing every form OF
government because Il Is Authority In
business they are dishonest. repudlat-
ing every form OF obligation. The
second class includes those who are
Influenced by what they call a broad
ening-l should call Il a lowering of
religion. To them It has become a
mere accommodation to their physical
and temporary needs. With them char
ity takes the place OF Christianity.
The third class Is composed Of those
who are influenced by the times In
which they live. Hard times are al
ways sure to produce an abandonment
OF religion by those who think super
hcially The fourth class comprises
those who are alarmed al the recon
siruction going on In religion. The
Hebrews felt that In giving up the TEN.
pie they were giving up allrellgion. We
are passing through a similar tx.
pericnce. Reconstruction may nsees-
state preliminary and temporary dis.
turbance. but Il always gives Us some
thing better because truer. Let Ne 70
back TO Christ with the recovery OF
faith, and We shall ind the real solu.
ton for all those difficulties that Der.
pick u.s."

The Rev ". Francis Irwin, OF the
Fifth Presbyterian church. Chicago
preached the other morning on THE
Sunshine Of Life" from the text:
Keep yourselves In the love OF God"
lie said:
Like a fash Of sunshine the closing
passages Of this eplstle fall aihwart the
gloomy pictures and predictions OF the
preceding verses. So the declarations
Of the gospel messages OF the love OF
God fall across the gloom and hope
lessness and mystery OF life Dark
ness Is ever the symbol Of ignorance
and sin. Darkness means fear, dis
case. mlasma, death. Light Is health,
growth. beauty. and Joy. What the
sun Is 10 the physical creation God ii
to all his works. He Is over all, dis
pensing life. happiness. power. His
love is the sunshine OF the soul. His
favor is life. To keep In his love pro.
duoes health and growth. The blind
man may deny the existence Of the
sun. but the sun Is not obliterated BY
his denial. God. like the sun, never
changes. He Is the same yesterday,
today, and forever II he is unreal 10
you, the trouble ia not with God. but
with you"
