Il we mean TO build that character
which God has meant us to have.
Then the preacher described how
Manasseh became the prosecutor of
Gods elect. From a mere observer he
soon became an active agent in the per-
secution of the reformation party. He
persuaded himself into the belief that
he was acting i'm the interest of true
liberalism and culture within his realm.
The reforms advocated with such eio-
quence by the prophets were the prod
uct of narrow minds, the magnificence,
splendor and power of this world-em-
pire. He appears to be a man singu-
larly deficient in power to recognize the
deeper elements of the national life
and character. He had no eye except
for material things. The laXer moral
ity and the greater license to crafty
his own pleasure and to indulge in his
own pet vices, permitted under the
heather culture appealed to the baser
elements in his nature The prophets
with their stern morality became q
public nusanCe-a disturbing element
in his kingdom-nOt to be tolerated
any longer. Thus Hezekiah's son be-
came the prosecutor of HeZekiahs peo-
pie.
To succumb to the ways of the world
unmeans us all. 1t fashions us into
strange forms far from anything that
we were ever intended to be. 1t de-
stroys our finer emotions, our prcccp-
! tion of right and wiring, our sympathy
with the higher, the more spiritual the
diviner for of life. The young man
! who makes the material pomp and
| power of this world the goal of his ann
! btiOn. the society of his boon COM
/ panions the height of enjoyment. in
! dulgonce in sin in whatever form the
| delight of his soul, little knows the tre-
mendous risk he is running. He may
! gain the world, but he loses his own
| true life.
And, finally, the preacher referred to
| his marvellous conversion, maintain
! ing that il was not so sudden as it ap-
! pears. Early training had something
to do with it. 1t is thought and means
that Gods spirit works
lie earnestly appealed to his audience
not to be deceived by the glitter of ap-
pearances-the pomp and power of ma
terial prosperity, but to be faithful and
steadfasJ in their allegiance to the
spiritual view of life which alone is
! the true Onc-tO look steadily to the
unseen-to believe in God the Father
! as revealed in God the Son.
Rev. ID. j. Williams, of Peckville
| was present and offered prayer.
