Sermon on Roosevelt and Rockefeller.
On Sunday morning last Rev. T. Nc.
Adams, pastor of Holy Family Catholic Church,
az Jacksonville. Baltimore county, preached q
sermon on the vanity of riches and the brevity
of human glory. He took for his text, what
doth it profit man to gain the whole world
and lose his own soul?"
After explaining the meaning of the text he
referred to John D. Rockefeller. the Standard
Oil magnate, as the richest man in the world,
and one who had reached the highest pinnacle
of human glory, as far as the accumulation Of
wealth is concerned.
Yet" said the speaker, fifty years from
now people will have forgotten him. but leav.
ing out political power, he is today considered
the most successful and the most powerful, and
is as we'll the most envied man in the world.
Mr.. Rockefeller is now an old man ana in five
Or ten years he will have passed away from the
scene of his great business conquests and his
body laid to rest in a mausoleum, and after a
few years later those who pass it by will ask
who he was"
Continuing. Father McAdams said: "Theo-
dore Roosevelt is man who occupies con-
spicuous position in the world today and whose
striking personality attracts all to him, either
in admiration or disapproval. Yet in COM
paratively short time he will have passed away
and people will have to 60 to history to learn
of his achievements. We are in this world as
a prisoner is confined in prison, and have to
serve our time, and on how well we perform
our duties is dependent our eternal welfare. In
all of our pleasures in this world there is an
alloy of pain, because this is not the heaven
for which we were created"

flowed its banks in mighty flood of muddy
waters, leaving in its swiftly rushing current
all sorts of small wreckage which came in its
way. Those living on the far side of the rail-
road were detained at the station until quite
late hour, some taking train to Jockeys
vile, while others waited until the waters SUBJ
sided sufficiently for them to be carried across
by gallant rescuers who were waiting on the
other side. B.
