STEWART STREET BAPTIST.
At the Stewart street Baptis. church.
Rev. Leo b. Thomas preached striking
sermon which followed n brief service
Mr.. Thomas took as his text Isaiah I, 1,
saying in part:
The woods round about Ms today are
fun Of 5000 and $1,000 and s40oo automo-
biles, and these tell us that we are a pros
porous people. Even the prices OF the ne
cessaries OF life are prosperous, as the
person who purchased his Thanksgiving
dinner leaEed. But Notwithstanding the
high prices that prevail I believe we are
truly in a prosperous time and have rea-
son 10 thank God for our prosperity.
Though we may profit by taking a
retrospective glance at our history now
and then, Il must be remembered that
dead people are the only people bound al
together by the past. Precedents should
not always be binding, but there IL a GER
tain romantic atmosphere about the past
that has a strange hold upon the human
heart There Is not one in this room who
can read OF Miles Standish. OF the Puri-
tan maiden Priscilla. OF Hawatha and
not be fascinated and moved by these
tales OF the past. Look unto the Rock
then whence ye are hewn.'
God was accustomed TO take the great
things or the small things 10 work His
wonders. In a tree. an elephant or a babe
We might see a miracle. The universe
was a miracle; so was the development Of
the acorn into the oak or the babe into
the man. What wonder-work was civil
liza tion from it's beginning TO it's fruition
The development of Christian character
was not less wonderful All the marvellous
works or God were causes for thanksgiv-
ing The past was great factor in in

could be found whose blood did not stir
at the mention OF the name OF Wallace
or OF Bruce"
