from the text found In Ps. kill. IL, "David's
thirst for God" saying in part: 1.-THE text,
first of all, Is cry to Cos. Bereft Of crown,
Of palace. of power, of loyal people, of a

God still remained for him. Goodness is
life whose earthly pulsation depends upon
the trend Of the souls desires. At mans
seemingly last extremity it is often said
that he has only God to look to. as though
God was the fag end of comfort. If you

Against sFaith Healing"

The Rev. F. M. Larl<in, pastor of Uni
versfty church. preached yesterday morning
on Prayer for the Sick from II Cor. XII.
Sth and 9th verses. The apostle Paul's ex-
ample In praying to be relieved from his af-
Fiction is q model for all Christians. Paul's
example and teachings are, however, in
contrast with modern ''divine healers." He
does not make ths atonement cover bodily
diseases. or make healing fundamental
doctrine of Christianity. The apostle
James speaks Of prayer for the sick In con-
nectioA with q medicinal remedy common
at that day. This remedy has been per-
verted into sacramental Amounting. Jesus
himself never forbade the use Of remedies.
When he opened the eyes of the blind man
he used clay and commanded the man to
go and wash. There is no statement In
scripture which can be rightly used to for
bid the use OF medicines.

The Greatest Commandment

Rev. A. A. Rice, the pastor. spoke at the
Universalist church yesterday morning on
The Great Commandment" Matthew.
xii:32: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart" In brief he said:
This command IL forceful. not because
Jesus called 1t the greatest Of all, though
his saying this must corroborate the truth,
nor because It Is the arbitrary nat Of God.
though we must believe that Gods will is
behind It; but because its force comes
from the fact that 1t is q law touching man
just as certainly and completely as the law
Of gravitation touches his physical being.
Just as the commands Of the decalogue are
stamped as law into the very nature Of man
and as the automatic truths of the beati-
tudes touch him as part of his being. so
this command to love the Lord God Is an
inherent law Of the spiritual universe the
relations Of which man canot disregard.
THE Importance Of this law is observed,
first, in its necessity. Again, its magnitude
Is known when we see it's relations to that
mania for mammon worship which so uni
versally possesses man and stands in the
way Of his spiritual life. The worship Of
God, as the natural outcome Of love for
him, which brings into exercise the higher
and enduring faculties of the being is dia-
metrically opposed to the worship of man,
mon which makes use Of temporary human
forces and absorbs the real life Of man."
