and not with meat. for hitherto We were not able

preacher said in substance:

CARNAL AND SPIRITUAL REALMS
There two realms In which a Christian may
live; carnal. where one lives In the realm Of the
flesh In thought desire and activity. and the other
where he lives in the realm OF the spirit, We all rec
ognize the carnalty Of and sensual people, bu.
that in Gods sigh; the carnal life OF
the cultured man In tho church Is not worse than

Where have been living? What is my motive In
everything that l do?" Music. art. refinement.

is no room for God there while music and nnc arts

RELIGION AND RIIUALIsM
On my return trip from England the Teutonic
attended the religious service Sunday. as
always do. The Church England service was
read by an Episcopal clergyman of this country.
After he had finished reading the service he walked
eway without even pronouncins the benediction
amazement: "A bcnedicion without an altar? In.
possible That is an up-to-datc incident. II hap
pcned last week. did not get IT out OF news
Mr. Moody-we'n put IT in the newspapers now.
benedction? what is that but idolatry? Nor are
the free churches Of our own land free from these
ornate singing. Carnality works out in envylng
strife, unrest. worry. ennuL
Mr.. Moody-What is that?
Mr. Morgan-In the West End OF London people
are suffering from ennu.
Mr.. Moody-What is that7
Mr. Morgan-Don't you known
Mr.. Moody-No
Mr.. Morgan-That Is French.
Mr. Moody-Talk In English.
DEFINITION OF ENNUI
Mr.. Morgan--I will make II clear for you In
minute. In the West End OF London they call it
suffering from ennui; In the East End they call It
despair. and the meaning Ia the same II is lust
We narrow the term lust TO certain sins. but 1t
goes through the whole realm OF the fesh-hunger
for food hunger for culture. The whole business
is carnal. The Corinthians were lvins where thou
sands OF Christians are living to-day They were
born Of the spirit. but not Yielded the spirit and
their sphere still carnal But why carnaly
Three reasons NAV be given.
