UNIvERsALIsT CHURCH
Rev. A. A. Rice Considers "The Eff
fects of a Wrong Life"

The pastor, the Rev. A. A. Rice spoke
on the Effects of A Wrong Life" from
First Cor, iii-15. IF any mans work
shall be burned he shall suffer loss; but
he himself shall be saved"
He said in brief: st. Paul here indi-
Gates that the works of man are of two
kinds, those which are of an abiding
character and those which are fit only to
be burned, which is no more than saying
that in the very constitution of things
there is written over every act of man
either the word right or the word wrong
and this law is binding upon man since
1t finds recognition in his nature. Ii
every act of man has an ethical bearing
we ask what is the effect of such as are
wrong? How does a wrong life effect
the one who lives it? The text says,
"If any mans work shall be burned, he
shall suffer loss; but he himself shall lie
saved" The loss consists not in the es-
sential faculties which make the man,
but in the dexterity or facility in using
those faculties. The loss therefore is
temporal and not permanent.
The design or purpose of the great
moral law which finds corroboration in
mans being is for mans elevation or the
perfecting of the creature on whom II
rests. If this law Is the occasion of man S
doing that which leads him to spiritual
death, what shall we say of the wisdom
of the author of such a law? No wise
being would institute law which would
frustrate itself.
Again, studying wrong acts, them
selves, we find their effect is not cor
ruption of the moral and affectionate
features of man, but the temporal burial
of them in a mass of animalism. The loss
which the wrong doer eventually sus-
tains is the consumption of his animal
nature and the facility of obtaining
blessing from his spiritual being.

Is life worth living. That depends. If
this life were all, then it is not

taught that mans life consists not in

GA Study of job" the Subject Of Burt
Estes Eoward's Sermon

At the First Presbyterian church
Burt Estes Howard took for his theme
"a Study of Job" He said in part:
There are some ramcs graved into
the ages that the world will not let
die. Few are there in all the centuries
that the world cannot let die. But God
has a little handful of men who are
ageless, men whom time does not con-

are going before the race today into its

vice, thoughthe unnumbered years have
trampled out long years ago the very

to utter to the world he has always
spelled it out in some mans flesh and
blood. The travail of the Almighty has
been manifested in the agony of his
chosen. Moses, David, Job, Isaiah, Je

kershaw was visited Saturday
night by a disastrous conllagra-
ton which swept away thirty
buildings, including three brick
store rooms and most of the mer.
chandise contained in them, en-
failing loss of over $4,000 upon
the citizens, most of whom had
little or no insurance, the total
insurance being less than $15,.

burned four buildings, stopping
at Stratton's brick building, whose
roof was considerably damaged.
and which, by the way. made a
very narrow escape from total
destruction. From the two story
building on the corner of Hamp-

spread eastward on the south side
of the latter, burning three brick
buildings and some six or eight
small frame buildings.
1t was with much difficulty
that Capt. j. V. Welsh's stables,
occupied by II. j, Gregory & Co.,
were saved. Some very fine work
was done, or they would have
gone; and if that had burned, the
fire would have gone on, and every
frame building, including several
dwellings in that vicinity, would
have been swept away inevitably,
and possibly several brick stores.
