Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1903-04-25

Chicago, April 19.-In this sermon
the preacher draws a realistic picture
of the numerous class that dallies with
evil indulgence, making mock of dam
ger and needless of admonition until
il is too late. The text is Proverbs xiv,
9, "Fools make a mock at sin"
There are times when hints and deli
cate phraseology are inadequate for
useful purpose, and when the kindest
and wisest course is TO use plain, out
spoken characterization shot forth on
arrows of denunciation and eXcoria-
ton. SO in my text Solomon says
plainly that the man who mocks at sin
is n fool When the human body is
slowly but surely being eaten up by a
cancer, it is time to use the surgeons
knife. The gangrened limb needs am
putation, not balms or plasters or poul-
tices or fragrant ointments. And when
men and women with wide open eyes
deliberately place themselves in a posi-
ton where they may inhale the fetld
atmosphere, rocking with the deadly
germs of that contagious and fatal
plague called sin, ii is high time that
some one should be bold enough to
stigmatize them by an appropriate
name. They are not misguided chill
dren. who are merely lost in the crook
ed byways of life's journey. They can
see the evil results of sin everywhere
they go If they will only look as they
are capable of looking. They are mol
mental weaklings who have been son
fined behind the iron bars o. a luLitl'
asylum. They can think, and clearly
think. if they will and do what they
ought to do. Such men and women are
displaying suicidal folly. and the only
appropriate name for them is tina
which Solomon applies to them; they
are fools. Going to destruction by
their own choice and volition, mockins
at victims who have already been de
stroved. needless OF the fate impend
ing over their own heads, they are n
foolish rs would be sea captain wh'
In midocean and in the grip of hurrl

When a gigantic sin is working evil t
the body polite and is endangering on
national well being, Solomon's method
is demanded. President Roosevelt evi

lew Presides Mt Bible Celebration.

1t was a curious and significant incl.
dent Of the hundredth anniversary OF
the British and Foreign Bible society
that the president Of the celebration
should have been Jew, the lord mayor
of London, while the chief speaker was
the prime minister Of the empire.
It was said at the meeting that
though the Bible is now circulated IN
400 languages and dialects there still
remain more than 50O,OO0,000 persons
who have never had opportunity to read
any part OF it in their own tongue

Why Noclsers Are Fools.

~
The same kind of warning against
sin Hugh Latimer gave when he sent
TO Henry VIII. his king. the present
OF New Testament. with these pun
gent words written in plain letters up
on tie fly leaf: For this ye know that
no unccan person hath any inheritance
in the kingdom Of Christ and OF God.
The same kind Of warning against sin
in high places John Knox used to give
when as court preacher lie would look
down from his pulpit and denounce the
sins of his ruler until the beautiful
Mary. queen Of Scots. would grit her
teeth and turn pale and clinch her tiny
fists i'm paroxysms Of rage Let me
show you why the Knockers at sin are
fools; also why men and women in the
daily walks of life should kneel every
morning and evening and ask the Heav-
enly Father to protect and guide and
save tEcm from the evil temptations
which bcset them everywhere they 60.
Evil temptations invariably are intro
duced to their victim in a seemingly
harmless way. They seek your COM
panlonship at first as friends, and not
as enemies. They do not approach you
glaring and convulsively working their
claws and leap at you. as the man eat
ing monster might try to get at your
throat when in all his fury he is Gagged
in the geological gardens Of Calcutta.
But temptations come to you at nrst
with the soft fur and the purring salu'
tation of the little kitten which might
nestle in your lap. They come lnsld'
iously, as the cholera germs mlgh'
reach you wrapped in the beautiful
garment which is sent to you from far
off India. They come with all the fra
GRANGE of the poisonous leaf which
brings death to every creature thai
touches it. Dr. Cuyler once gave
wonderful description Of one OF the
poisonous trees, aptly called the Judas
tree. He said that the blossoms OF tins
tree are Of a brilliant red. From raj
and near the fatal beauty of those
flowers attracts the insects. Yet "ev
ery bee wandering in search of honey
that alights upon the blossoms imbiDe'
fatal opiate and drops to the earth
Beneath this enticing tree the earth II
strewn with the victims Of its rata
fascination" That fatal plant is
vivid symbol Of the way deadly sll
first appeals to its victims. Sin In TN
beginning fascifates the eyes as VIII
the brightest of floral colors. 1t fascl
mates the ear as with the sweetest o
harmonies. 1t soothes the sense o
touch as with the velvety softness OF
tigers paw, while beneath is conceale'
the sharp claw. 1t first wooes Its VIC
tim to pillow his head upon the lap OF
beautiful Delilah, and while the SHINE
sleeps his lips are parted in a smile a

Evil indulgences should not be derlc-
ed. They dull the moral sensiDllitles.
Their sinful effects cannot be seen 50
much in the wasting away of the mora
tissues. as BriGLt's disease misih
wreck the kidneys CT tuberculosis mlghi
rat away the lungs. But evil maui
gences have a hardening or dulling
effect. as cirrhosis hardens the liver or
rs parcsis affects tho cell tissues or the
brain. 1t is said that when a man =
right side is benumbed through the ell
feet of a paralytic stroke the DOCTOR
can take a pin and drive it into MS
limb and the patient is oblivious 10 tne
sense of pain. SO when human Deins
is suffering under the paraiy&ing ei'
feet of sin he loses his moral sensiOil'
ties. What appeared to him once as
wrong now appears to be right anu
what was once right now does not ap'
pear to have any special significance III

in the town Of Moreau, Edwin Taylor OF
Dunchurcll, Province of Quebec. has &C.
qured the home of his ancestors, the orig

Of Jane McCrea in l777 is recalled.
In 1893 two families from New Jersey
settled on the west bank of the Hudson
River, Just below Fort Edward. The Widow
Jones and her Ave sons took up tract which
included the recent purchase, and two
miles below them John McCrea, afterward
patriot Colonel, made his home. Residing
with him was his sister Jane.
Before the war seven years later. David.
one Of the five Jones boys. and Jane McCrea.

came the Jones boys were Tories and
several of them took service under
Ma. ior Hugh hunro in Burgoynes army,
David being lieutenant. When on
its march southwark the army was en-
camped at Moss Street three miles
north of Fort Edward. Jones sent for his

was confscated by the State and sold to
