At the morning service at the Uni.
versalist church, the Rev. Otto s.
Raspe preached on the topic: "And
Enoch Walked With God-How May
WEI" He said in part:
This text forms the only biograph-
ical sketch of the sanity life of Enoch,
whi,h is in existence. Volumns have
been written concerning the lives OF
Napoleon, Shakespeare and the mary
other celebrities; butnot one of them
bear 80 lofty a tribute. as the writer
OF the fifth chapter of Genesis has be-
slowed upon the memory of this Old
| Testament character. "He walked
with God" is the only sentence to
give US a clue of his life's history, OF
his outward existence, with all the
perplexities that befall to mankind,
we find no inkling. We know not
whether he was a tender of herds or
whether he earned his daily living by
tilling the soil. Neither ore we in.
formed of his material achievements
his worldly wealth, prestige or
power. But the writer, with one
sweep of his pen, has laid bare the
heart of this primitive man. 1t places
him at once in the category of the
sanity. 1t reveals his inner life; it
bospeaks of strong character. The
very name signifies conservation.
His soul was in tune with the Infinite;
he stands among the faithful on the
great muster roll of Heavens nobil-
ity. How may men reach this exalt-
ed state of walking with God? In
the first place, we need to awaken
our brain and heart. They have too
long been in the hands OF bondage
sleeping, spiritually dead. Man must
surrender his full self to God. The
worlds heart will never throb with
that of God until men exert an en-
ergetic will for good. Evil fees when
men will to do right.
Secondly, association plays an i'm.
portant part In God culture. If we
would walk with God we must &C.
lively persue the companionship of
men who walk in the realms OF spirit
and who think exalted thoughts.
Oh! meD and women, tell me how
they who are not present this morn
ing to praise the Father-the Giver
of All Good Gifts-spend their Sab
baths, tell me their secret thoughts
and the desires, associations and
ambitions of their lives, and l will
tell you their gods.
Let US then surrender ours Ives
intelligently and lovingly 10 God, ex-
erting with decision our wills for
Goodness and Holiness; living in the
company and atmosphere of great
men and great books. And above
all with the Eternal Christ as our
Saviour and our Lord the walk
ing with God will be assured.

and dashed madly across the road,

window and following the side walk
to the Hall & Cheney corner, where
each horse took a side of the large

of the wagon. The horses then ran
