FOR SINGLE MORAL STANDARD.
Rev. DIR. PETERS COmbats Idea That
Men Must Sow Wild Oats.
Baltimore SUM-

Rev. DR. Madison G.. Peters preach
ed last evening at Emmanuel Baptist
Tabernacle, North Avenue and st.
Pauls Street, on 1.-THE Pace that
Kills" taking his text from Galatians
81, For whatsoever man soweth,
that shall he also reap" Dr. Peters
said:
"One of the most thoroughly abom-
Unable and dangerous maXims is
the very common one that young
man must SOW his wild oats. 1t is d
notion that has ruined thousands. l
have somewhere seen sculptured
representation of Bacchus, the god of
drink and revelry. He is riding on
panther at furious bound. How
many man thinks as he begins his
fast life that he has mounted we'll
broken Steed and that he can stop 1T
when he pleaSeS. But he finds when'
he approaches the chasm that he is
astride a savage beast that no human
power can pull up.
There is an awful mystery in the
downward progress of sin, and how
often do we see that men who were
once the masters of sin become its
slave. They never intended to be
bad, but step by step, they lowered
themselves, freely indulging their bas-
er passions until a vicious life became
domineering, then uncomfortable. If
the sum of all the pain that comes
from the sowing of wild oats could be
harvested it would rend the heavens
with it's cutlery. The harvest that
comes from sowing wild oats is bitter
disappointment, a loveleSs home,
heart consumed to ashes, the misery
of the unsatisfied, and the shame of
the unclean.
Nothing ever comes from the
SIRENS maddening song except misery
and disappointment. Edgar Allan Poe,
one of the most brilliantly gifted men
of letters America ever produced.

What "a price to pay for few days
of sensual delights? Young men make
a sad mistake when they think it ne
cessary to have a personal acquaint-
ance with the seamy side of life. The

1t may be said in this connection
that inasmuch as competition is the
