Mr.. Williams began his sermon with
Illustrations of the destructive power of
sin, showing how in one mans life good

instanced the case of Ingerson Poe ana
Napoleon. He said that the main value
of an individual is his moral worthiness,
and that this Is priceless, but yet the lives
of some men are such as to destroy this
worth.
THE true moral value is in happiness
and helpfulness" This Is shown in the
affection of the mother for the child. but
this affection can be put TO a crucial test
and life blasted and family wrecked as
the result of the wrong-doing of that
child.
Sin In its social influence was consid-

duces a miasma that causes infectious
disease. Business is suspended. lives
fail as sacrifices to the malady and many
are left forlorn and bereft of friends and
relatives. Just so the infection of indi-
viduals. Mr. Williams said, is communi-
Gated from one sinner to another, and
sin becomes diffused just as the plague.
The influence of sin is as an electric

said, is the basis of eternal punishment

that we have the enemy on the run, out
we are not going TO relax out diligence
on that account. We expect TO have the
