SUNDAY SERMON

The motto of the world is ''Look
out for number one" The motto Of
the Christ is do unto others as
ye would that others should do
unto you" David Harum's motto
DO others as they would do you
and do 1t first" is but the twentieth
century echo of the first murderer's
plea. Am I my brothers keeper?"
In the world of nature and in the
animal kingdom the rule may be
''the survival of the fittest" but just
in proportion as the race advances
in civilization and Christianity does
it deny that law and introduce the
higher principle that the weak have
claim upon the strong, that sick
ness has a mortgage on health,
that poverty is bound up IN the
same bundle with riches, that
ignorance lays obligation upon in
telligence, that all men are debtors
to those who are lower down in the
scale than they are and are res
ponsible in a great degree for their
conduct and character.
