e God Men frequently bank on the gold
en- rule and ignore the church, the on
great blessing to humanity.
t There is really no golden rule that cal
eliminate God. There is gospel rul
5 that embraces the golden rule.
< The basal principle of the golden rult
is Love. Love is God-given and no
man-conceived, hence there is no ruiz
that makes for the good of humanity
: except rule Cod given and God-love6
and not man-loved and man-conceived
Again, there is an increasing tenden
cy with mothers to magnify the advan-
tage of social standing. This is harm
full.
Remove from the world the religious
influence of mother and wife In the
home, substitute for 1t love of the world
and its harmful destinations, and the
degeneracy of both men and women
will be rapid
Home ought to be heaven in minia-
ture. The fireside's magnet is love.
Undue regard for society's fasclna-
lions is a reason why the church does
not reach more men and women.
So long as woman lives will ambition
and struggle for social position some
what dominate her life. Amidst her
persistent efforts for social recognition,
II she retains sweetness and innocence,
If love in it's noblest and deepest sense
actuates effort, then the prize is worth
the cost.
But if worldly thorns and weeds are
allowed to grow in the feminine heart,
if arrogance and pride have been sub
stituted for humility and simplicity, if
Christ has been dethroned and mammon
worshipped, then woman, the enchant-
ment Of the f1reside-wife, the husbands
! inspirer; mother the boys oracle, the
girls idol-woman, unnatural because
| irreligious, will drag husband, lover or
friend to her own cold low level of
pride and vanity
Again, form of harmful love indulg-
ed by men is ambition for place and
power, regardless of method of proceed
ure, as, for instance, along political
F! lines.
| Politics and religion ought to drive in
tandem, and it is Christians duty to
| see to it that they do.
! My brother, in ambitions ocean reefs,
rocks and bars exist. Remember test
ed chart is necessary-even the Bible
that 1t Is madness to sail without the
| one commissioned pilot, Jesus the Saw
Jour Of men.
In ambitions road perplexities, dis
turbances and dissatisfactions exist.
See to it that when all is over you
may realize that Eye hath not seen
nor ear heard, neither hath entered into
the heart of man the things which God
hath prepared for them that love Him."
I have talked of harmful love, of love
of the world and the things that are in
the world.
All! there is another love. 1t is the
manner of love the Father hath bestow-
ed upon us that we should be called the
sons Of God. It's the love of God, who
gave His only begotten Son, that who
soever believeth in Him should not per-
ish, but have everlasting life.
1t is an everlasting love. 1t is Gods |
loving kindness, and yet sometimes
there is an overweening trust in the |
great Fathers love- as indicated in the |
following parable by Saadi:
"Once as l staggered, blind, upon the |
breath of hell,
Above the everlasting fire floods awful
roar,
God threw His heart before my feet,
and, stumbling DER
That obstacle divine, I into heaven fell
DR.. Burwell we'll said:
"A groper for the light might stumble
and enter heaven thus, but this would
be very, very rare"
We cannot be called the sons of God
without we ourselves so elect by our
fo, tba Go x,{o ~
What of our love this Sabbath morn
ing?
Let us see what the word of God says
about love.
There are hundreds of passages in
which the verb or noun love and the
parts of the verb are used. We will only
quote very few.
but whose hath this worlds goods,
and seeth his brother have need, and
shutteth up his bowels of compassion
from him, how dweleth the love of God
in MP. John, 317
But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy,
peace, long suffering, gentleness, good
ness, faith, meekness temperance:
against such there is no law."-Gala- ,
lions 5:22, %.
Jesus answered and said unto him, j
If a man love me he will keep my
words; and my Father will love him, {
and we will come unto him and make [
our abode with him. st. John 1923. s
Love worketh no i'll to his neighbor; i
