MANS HIGHEST DUTY
SERMON OF THE REV. vi. c. PEARSON
AT FIRST FRIENDS CHURCH.
ScripturaI Injunction. 'Fear God and
Keep His commandments" Is Elo-
quentIy ExpOunded.

MANS Highest Duty" was the theme of
the Rev. NJ. c. Pearson before a large and
interested audience at the First Friends
Church yesterday morning. The message
was full of practical suggestions as to
mans chief concern in life and left its inn
preston for good on many hearts. The
theme was based on the text from the book
of Ecclesiastes. Let us hear the conclusion
of the whole matter; fear God and keep
his commandments for this is the whole
duty of man."
The speaker said in part: The purpose
of the book of Ecclesiastes is to solve many
of the difficult problems of human life and
deals with some of the saddest facts of
mans earthly career The author, whether
Solomon. or a later writer, here portrays
In very striking manner something of
his own experience I'm his quest for the
eternally profitable things of life. His
argument is that material things and earth
ly enjoyment are not to be condemned, but
rather that men should seek for and use
them in legitimate ways for their own good
and for Gods glory. He pronounces his
Judgment of vanity upon them only when
men find their supreme satisfaction In them
instead of in Him who has created us for
his honor. If we find in Him supreme Joy
and delight in His service, gratefully
acknowledging Him as the author of every
good and perfect gift, the study of this
DOCK Will reveal some wholesome lessons
which are worth while.
The author finally reaches the con-
ciusion OF all his argument in the sublime
sentiment of the text Mans highest duty
In life Is to fear God and keep His COM
mandments Men are always differing
even on important subjects and on the
thought OF mans chief concern I'm life
humanity divides into at least five groups
each with its chief end and aim in life
They are these: The quest for self-culture:
the quest of gain; the quest for pleasure:
the quest for fame; the quest for righteous
ness of character.
The fear of God might properly embrace
three conceptions: A recognition of God
and His relation to us; a recognition of our
relation to Him; an answering loyalty to
Him and to His church in the earth.
when Lord Wilson was about to enter
one or the great naval battles of his life
he had flung from his flagstaff a streamer
with this inscription: England expects
every man 10 do his duty When the bows
saw IL they greeted the sentiment with an
piause and each man vowed eternal LOYALTY
and faithfulness to his flag and country.
THUS the sentiment of the text comes
from our great commander to-day, God ex-
poets every man TO do his duty What is
mans duty? Fear God and keep his COM
mandments, for this is the whole duty OF
man.. "
