sermon last Sunday night Rev. NJ. P. Fixes,
pastor of Brantly Baptist Tabernacle, Balti-
more had for his subject "Men We Despise.'
LET no man despise thee" quoted the minis
ter from Titus IL, Is. Mr.. Fixes went on to
say
paul was very jealous for the character and
reputation of men, and as be had previously
written to Timothy-'Take heed unto thyself,
and unto the doctrine'-now he warns Titus
to let no man despise thee Everything in
this world seems to have its opposite. For
every MONDAY there is a midnight for every
summer there is a winter for every flower
there is an insect; for every smile there is a
sob; for every virtue there is q vice. e,
And this principle is none the less true
when applied to the characteristics of men we
meet along the highway life. Some awaken
profoundest pity, for clearly they are thevic-
Tins of circumstances and are fighting a ter
ri6c battle for the right, with all the odds
againt them. Others demand our admiration
for they manifest everywhere the Hottest ambi-
tons and struggle on to the attainment of their
aspirations. But there are others still, whose
principles and practices call forth our unquali-
fled contempt. Let us look at some of the
men we despise.
who can help despising the sneak who
claiming to be your friend, slyly slips up be-
hind your back to stab and STAY you? He con-
not look you squarely in the face; his eyes are
green; his tongue is tipped with venom and is
forked; he is never at ease in your presence,
for what conscience is left smites him with the
consciousness that he is hypocrite.
I'VE despise the conceited fop who is ignor-
ant and insists he is wise; who is blind and
insists he can see; who is child and insists
he is man. who is vicious and insists he is
virtuous. No disease is so incurable as 'caput
magnum,' or, in the common term of our
satisfied with himself is not hard to please
that's the best thing we can say for him.
Young man, if you want to become an OBJ
Ject of supreme contempt mere apology for
strong, independent manhood, all you have to
do is just to do nothing and keep on loafing.
Get up, stir yourself put forth heroic efforts
to make place and name for yourself in the
world; devote time talent, strength, mind
and body to the uplift of the world. Be ener-
getic, active, alert, aggressive; Let no man
despise you, for Incidence. When a man is
low, vile, mean, vulgar and degraded through
is too vicious to care, we all despise him par
ticularly when he prefers to continue so.
There is one degree of infamy worse than
this, however, and that is the condition of the
man who is not only unwilling to. be some
body himself, but positively prevents others
from entering the path of righteousness.
Heaven pity the child of such a father, and
the wife of such a husband. But i have a
message even for the despised of men. God
is more merciful than man; "A broken and
contrite heart He will not despise.' And
though all men have long since given you up,
God has not. He calls lovingly tonight for
your return. Arise and go to your Father
