SIN AND PHARAOH ARE
COMPARED IN SERMON.
Rev. Mr.. Christie Pleased Large Con-
SregatiOn Last Night.

Rev. MIR. Christie Pleased Large Com
gregatiOn Last Night.
In another strong sermon. logically
built, Rev. Mr.. Christie last night in
terested a large congregation at the
First Baptist Church.
The subject of the sermon was 1.-THE
Intolerance of Sim" A comparison be-
tween sin and the Egyptian King
Pharaoh, who held Israel in bondage,
was drawn. Among other things Rev.
Mr.. Christie said:
Moses first request of Pharaoh to
let the children of Israel depart from
Goshen was met with contemptuous
refusal. Who is the Lord that I
should let Israel go?'
"Paraoh is a life-like portrayal of
sin. Only invest sin with sufficient
power and instantly it becomes blatant
and God defying. Never does it agree
to so much as a compromise until con-
cesSions are eXtorted.
Pharaoh. when terrorized for his in
tolerance, began, like sin to-day. to
propose compromises. Go sacrifice in
your own land, rather than go a three
days journey in the wilderness. This
is the same compromise sin offers to-
DAY. 1t argues the needlessless of
separation from the world; the need
lessness of church membership. AS
well serve the Lord outside the church
as inside.
Failing in this proposition of COM
promise, Pharaoh proposed another
Co. he says, but do not go far So
says sin to-day.
"If one is going to leave the world
any way, sin tries to induce them to
encamp as closely as possible to its
precincts. Some do not want a repu-
tation for piety. They could not in
dulge their worldliness without no.
toriety. They want to be just good
enough to get into heaven and just
as sinful as possible not to get into
hell.
Failing in this, Pharaoh proposes
that they go, but leave their flocks be-
hind them. Likewise sin to-day in
sists that if man gives his heart
and life to the Lord that is quite
enough, and he can afford to leave his
property on the worlds territory. IN
happily the devil has persuaded many
good people to do this.
Failing with Moses in this, his
next compromise was that they leave
their families behind. So with sin to-
day. When it discovers that it is
about to lose one of its votaries, it
seeks to silence his interest in taking
others, even those of his own house
hold with him.
But all these compromises Moses
spurned. And now the whole situa-
ton has changed. The uncompromis-
ing autocrat who could defy the AL
mighty a little while ago, Is now
kneeling before the prophet of God
begging for concessions. But
Moses was leaving the accursed land
of bondage with his face set toward
the sunrise of Canaan, and he never
faltered till from the nights of Pisgab
he saw the travail of his soul and
was satisfied. Surely If you will resist
the devil he will flee from you"

PLEASE KEEP OUT.

We are surprised to learn from
one of our patrons that the editor
of an esteemed contemporary was
seeking 70 invade our job printing
field by soliciting work from this
county. We hope it is because he
supposed we had no facilities for
doing jobwork, or that he thought we
had more of that sort of work than
we were able to do. We therefore
take this means OF informing that
gentleman and all others, that we
have good Job printing plant, and
feel that we are competent to Go as
good jobwork as the average coun-
try printer at least, and there is no
more work OF this class in our coun-
ty than we can do.
If our patrons are dissatisfied with
either our prices or our work, and
will say so to us, if we do not give
them satisfaction we have no grou-
nds for complaint if they apply else
where: and when they do so it will
be in order for orr neighbsrs to chip
in and they will be welcome to do
so with the best of feelings as far as
we are concerned. And now to the
people of our own section we have to
say gentlemen and ladies' send in
your orders for job work; and we
will try in the future, as we have
done in'thel past, to give you salts.

have been accustomed to see taught

as reasonable to claim that the chill

refreshing in these days of disagree
ments and deadlocks to see a body
OF public servants who realize that
their first duty is to the public in
the discharge of their official work,
and who are willing to pull togeth-
err for the public welfare regardless
OF private interest or party prcju-
dice. In line with our views on the
salary question, we take this oppor-
tunity Of suggesting that it is a good
idea to keep compensation for pub.

that is paid for similar work by
private individuals. When there is not
