Last Sunday morning Rev. j. l.
Hudgins, pastorof the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, this city
delivered the following sermon tC
the graduating class of the Unior
City High School:
No more beautiful or appropri
ate custom is associated with oul
own American educational system
than that of making divine serv-
ice part of commencement exer.
cises.
The language to which ! call at.
tention to-day is found in the Acts
Of the Apostles, chapter II, verse
20, and reads as follows: tForas-
much then as we are the offspring
Of God, we ought not to think that
the Godhead is like unto gold, or
silver, or stone, craven by art and
mans device" !"
The thought that | hope to fas-
ten upon the minds of my audience
is that of High Ideas Of God.
Mans moral conduct is always in
harmony with his moral character.
never higher, nor lower, brighter,
nor darker, and mans moral char
acter is largely shaped by his con-
ceptions of God. If man has a
low idea of God he will possess a
low form of moral character and
live in low moral atmosphere,
while if be has a high idea of what
God is, his character and conduct
will be correspondingly of high
nature. This is evidenced by every
page of human history and by ev-
cry record of human progress, for
mans progress upward in the scale
Of morals and civilization has been
IN exact proportion to the height
sning of his ideas of God the Su-
preme Being.
Go wherever you will, among
he heathen IN the nations that sit
n darkness, or among the nations
hat have long had the light of the
gospel, and wherever you find de.
BASED human life, you will find
ow and false conceptions Of God. |
Now, | suspect that some who hear
ne to day accept this with mental
reservation and feel like saying
what has so often and so untruth-
ully been said, that men have
Ugh ideas of God but do not live
Ip to them. 1t is true, very true,
hat men may have high theories
bout God, but theory is but
peculation, while an idea is an
mage or picture formed upon the
nind, and the Scriptures say of
1an that ''as he thinketh in his
cart so is he;" as is. his idea of
Tod so will be his character and
0nsequently his conduct.
In his little book, The Religions
{ the World, DR.. David j. BurreII,
+ New York, has clearly shown
lat mans progress since the fall
as been in exact proportion with
is ideas of God.
Little by little man got better
leas of God, and little by little he
rose in the moral scale until in /
le fullness of time Jesus Christ
sme as fuIland complete revela- ,
on of God. And when Jesus ,
lme as full and complete revela- /
on of God, he also came as a re- /
alation Of the dignity Of man, Z
lowing by His incarnate life that ! !

Bordcaux's Son Warranted.

r. ]. Bordeaux, son OF j. 5. Dor
deaux. former manager OF the Home
Purchasing Co.. is supposed to have
skipped out and cannot be found by
the police, who have warrant
charging him with obtaining money
by false pretenses.
Mrs. Georgiana Pearson claims
that young Bordeaux came to her
and stated Mr.. Louis Clark held two
contracts on which he had paid $50
each emitting him to a loan OF 81
600 and that he wanted TO transfer
them for the same amount he had
paid in and a bonus of $40. She al

young man last night and today but
they are still searching for him. He
is thought to have left the state.

AFTER INSURANCE TRUST.

The state administration seems dis
pleased with the fire insurance com
panies doing business in Kentucky,
and Governor Beckham has address,
ed letter to the state insurance com
missioner, saying that numerous
complaints have come TO him about
the rates charged by fire insurance
companies upon property insured in
Kentucky. that the rates are out of
and considerably higher than the
same companies charge in adjoining
and other states and requesting
that the commissioner make investi-
cation to the end that il present laws
are not sufficient the matter may be
laid before the general assembly at
the approaching session and recon-
mendations made as 10 needed chang
es in the statutes.
There may be good grounds for
taking cognizance of the insurance
question. but IT is doubtful if any re-
lief can be afforded without doing
more harm than good. The dispro-
portion of premiums and losses does
not appear to have any bearing on
the matter. however The losses
might be nothing, while on the 9TH
er hand they might be double the
amount of premiums. Then there
must be taken into consideration the
cost of doing business. which is paid
out of the premiums, and does not
figure in the losses. This includes
rents. commissions, licenses and
such things.
Usually where rates are high II Is
the fault of the insured. All rates
are supposed to be regulated on
scientific or statistical basis, and
where they are not it is the excep-
tion rather than the rule.
But the question for those who
now propose TO go out after the in
surance companies to answer is,
What is TO be done? If too heavy re-
strictions are placed on the compa-
mics they may withdraw from the
state entirely, leaving property own
ers without any protection. and
majority of the property owners
would prefer paying high rate TO
going without Insurance.
II seems that the main thing TO
do is to dust up the combination
or insurance trust, and force the
companies into open competition.
