A TRINITY OF DUTIES.
Rev. Mr.. Friemail'S Lecture Before

An Interesting Subject Presented In an

GA Trinity of Duties" was the subject
OF d lecture by Rev. Luther Fireman Of
Newton Centre, before tho Epworth Lea
que of the Mathewson NJ. 4. Church last
evening.
The first duty, he said. was the love OF
ones self. There was the greatest need of
this now among the young men and
women. This duty is not mere selfish
ness it is something deeper and stronger,
love Of ones own great intrinsic value.
The weakness and vice Of the world
would disappear II men loved themselves
more. Men would not be bad II they had
"a true conception of their own real value
IL was because men sold themselves SO
cheaply that their morals were SO bad. a
man should love himself best from "a
boi lily standpoint II no other. Only Hs
men loved themselves first did they have
the power TO love anything else. Until
man loved himself and did something for
himself first he was unable 10 love or do
anything else for others. No man ever
did for the world what had net been first
done for him. The trouble of III odern
civilization was that there was such a
constant demand for pouring out on the
part OF a young man that there was no
time for him TO pour into himself that
