are the chronic grumblers and complain

the world place of torment

happy as well as ourselves. No man has
a right to complain, IL by this. others are
made unhappy. There is enough of suffer-
ing at any rate. without the additional
burden which the grumblers lay upon the
world People who complain should keep
their complaints to themselves. They
should not be allowed to faunt their bill
of complaints before the world. They are
public nuisances and a disgrace to Chris
tianity The church would be better on
without the chronic grumblers.
8. The sin of complaining destroys our
influence as Christians. No one is likely
to have any confidence in the piety or
the prayers of a chronic grumbler. The
truth is, their prayers and their piety do
not amount to much. These people are
drawback to Christianity and hindrance
to the progress of. the church. They are
unfit for service.
6. The sin of complaining against God
is a great sin because it shows lack or
faith in him.
The children of Israel lost faith in
God. They doubted Gods word and mis-
sion, and this unbelief was at the root Of
all their trials and sufferings.
This unbelief is the cause Of all COM

Sermon


The children of Israel had been safely
brought out of the land of Egypt and out
or their bondage. They had made only
three-days' journey from Mount Sinai
when they began to complain of their lot.
God had been so good to them, guiding
end protecting them by day and by night.
He had caused the ark of the covenant to
go before them to search out resting
place for them, and He had fed them with
bread from heaven. Yet in the face of all
this goodness they complained against
God.
Their sin was inexcusable. They had
no cause for complaint. but were guilty
of the meanest ingratitude. No wonder
God was displeased with them and His
righteous anger kindled against them.
The sin of complaining is in the church
today. Perhaps 1t is one of the most COM
mon sins and certainly one that is dis
pleasing to God. The sin of complaining
is aggravated because:
/. 1t is against God Israel complained
to Moses, but after all IT was against God.
The blame for bringing them into the
wilderness was laid upon God This COM
planning was reflection upon Gods good
ness, wisdom and faithfulness.
g. The sin of complaining is prompted
by ingratitude, and no sin is meaner than
ingratitude. God despises it and 1t is
hateful to men. Nothing Is meaner than
a child's ingratitude to a parent. God is
our Father and when we complain we
are guilty of ingratitude to a good and
kind father.
8. The sin of complaining is injurious to
ourselves. 1t keeps us from the enjoy

nevertheless to say It.: Mathematical
happiness is one Of the highest forms OF
happiness which the human conscious
ness is capable of realizing. The square
root, the cube root and all the other
roots, are roots of exalted felicity. Geom-
etry is full of squares, circles. triangles,
spheres and many other figures OF happi-
ness; and the infinitesimals Of Calculus
are but the crumbs Of which the colossal
loaf of transcendental Joy is composed.

desist from further specification; and In
order not to be tiresome, reserve for
another occasion the balance Of my pre-
pared speech. II any time is left which

It among them as may be agreeable to

A VIRGINIA WoMAN'S WISDOM.

For twelve years 1 have had the following
rules in my family of five children no child
under eight years of age is allowed to enter a
schoolroom from eight to twelve years, three
hours work daily; from twelve to fifteen
years, four hours daily. No lessons are pre-
pared at home: no school-book Is allowed to
be brought home under any circumstances.
All lessons that cannot be learned and recited
properly in from three four hours remain
unlearned. To demonstrate that four hours
time in school, properly applied is sufficient,
7 give an outline Of the work actually accom-
plished last session by my little daughter Of
thirteen years:
Hours: Daily, from 10 a. m to p. m.
Daily: Geography and Spelling.
Alternate days: Arithmetic, Writing, Latin,
French, Grammar History.
~ In addition, there Is a music lesson of half
an hour twice each week. and one hours prac-
tice daily When this Is over she goes out

he served a term with great credit, re-

returned TO his home in Tennessee, be-

bore itself with conspicuous gallantry.
Colonel Bate was severely wounded, with
his horse killed under him; he fingered
for four months between life and death.
1t was thought he was permanently dis
abled, but he finally recovered. For his
conspicuous gallantry President Davis
made him brigadier general. He was
again wounded: this time at Hoover's
Gap, June "a, 1868.
In all the maneuvers which followed till
the great battle Of Chickamauga, Gener-
al Bate was actively engaged. In this
engagement, September 1920 1853, he was
prominently brought to notice by his ac-
tive service. Gen. A. p. Stewart, in
whose division General Bate fought his
brigade spoke of him in his official re-
ports as the 'indomitable Bate" He had
three horses killed under him on that
bloody field.
Following that came the fight of Mis-
sionary Ridge, where General Bate again
distinguished himself. At Dalton, Ca,
the Confederate army being in winter
quarters he was in command Of the d.
vision till January, when he was commis-
stoned major general.
In the notable North Georgia cam

tie of the war.
General Bate has been conspicuous
since the war in public affairs in his ma
tive state Of Tennessee and the nation.
He served two terms as governor of Ten
nessee, and was shortly afterward elected
TO the United States senate, being the
junior member from his state till the
death of the illustrious Isham g. Harris,
when he became the senior member. 1t
seems he is destined to retain that dis
tinetion for life. as he is one of Tennes-

ognized as the choice Of the people.
