COMmEKClALlSm.
BY J. A. EDGERTON
Since first the Sun saw human face,
There never has been in the tides of
Time
So great an advance in the onward race
That leads mankind to the goal sub
lime
Of the Grander Age; there never have
been
Such strides of Science, Invention,
Art;
Such glory Ger allAbut the world
within;
Such splendor in all-but the human
heart.
The Temple of Progress is fair to see;
But in it unclean things nest and
crawl.
1t is built on the bones of Humanity;
"And the trail of the serpent is over
it all"
We herness the steam and the thunder
bolt
And speed away as on wings of
thought.
Transformed to measured ampere and
volt,
Niagara's hurricane force in caught.
Our messages cleave throug the air
and sea;
Our vision pierces through iron and
stone;
We draw the words from Infnity,
And wrest it's secret from the Unknown;
But these results that should all men
bless
We shut from their use by golden
wall
Naught free from the demon of Sell
fishness.
"The trail of the serpent is over them
ALL"
The sweetest of sentiments known to
man,
The love uniting two hearts for aye,
Is placed underneath a commercial ban,
For wealth.. not love, is supreme
today.
All things may be had on the auction
block,
Distinction, enjoyment or worldly lore.
They are held from the many by bolt
and lock.
And the key is of gold that unbars
the door.
Have riches, and you are of men king.
Without them, you are at the best q
thrall.
The creeds of the age have golden
ring.
"The trail of the serpent is over then
all.
God gives to His children common
soil;
God holds for His children common
health.
Cod asks of His children common toll
To add some share to the common
wealth.
But few have cornered the heritage
And on His gifts they exact q toll;
For even his healing they ask wage
And charge for saving brother
soul,
The best and the hottest things of life
The home, press, pulpit and learn
ing's hall,
Alike with the unclean faint are rife.

A Right beginning.

The desire to make a right begin

reformation of the customs and the
habits Of the world. Thus, when be
gan to think upon this subject. this
miracle at the beginning of Christ's
ministry began to grow and widen and
deepen and lift itself higher and high

Why? 1t was Christ's first miracle.
For thirty long years he led the life
Of obscurity. Now Jesus comes forth
and practically says: 81 have come to
reveal my Father to the world. want
to win the belief and trust OF the peo-
pie. How shall I begin my work in
the most attractive and impressive
way? I will do II at the wedding In
Cana OF Galilee." Thus we must ap-
proach our subject with awe and rev.
erence. This miracle Is not mere
happen so. The first miracle of Christ
was one by which we may catch the
keynote for the onward musical move
ments OF perfect life.
Where does the active scene Of
Christ's earthly ministry open? At a
nuptial song. At time of joyful fes-
tivities At a time when not only the
young but also the old and the middle
aged are trying to be happy and to
make every one happy. At time
when laughter and merrlment and
good cheer are making tired men and
women feel for time mt least that
care and worry and anxiety and dis
trust have no part to play in the great
social economy. The celestial song
which was sung on the morning of the
Nativity was no more joyful in note
than the songs we hear as we come
over the hills and see the wedding
party daacing upon the grass upon the
outskirts OF the Galilean village Of
Cana.
Would you have me describe the joy
OF n wedding festival once witnessed
In the east? did not see il at Cana:
l did see II. however. at one of the
neighboring towns of Galilee. First |
found the wedding guests came from
far and near. as they once came TO
Westover, where Colonel William
Byrd. lawyer. statesman and landed
gentleman. married his daughter to II
distinguished representative of Vir-
ginia's aristocracy. or to Mount Yer

daughter. Eleanor Parke Gusts. was
married to young Major Lewis. or to
Monticello when the great Jefferson
and the Randolph families became one
at the marriage altar. There the guests

Not only do the young people often

but they very often neglect to talk to

to Christ TO talk about their coming

their minds to marry whether God
wants them to marry or no. These
young girls will talk about their we'd

talk about them to people who are al

In all probability there was not a
guest at this famous wedding who did
not personally know him. Not

there but had seen him barefOOted

There was not among all those guests
