Sermon
By Rev.
Frank De Witt TalmaGe. d. d.

Los Angeles, Cal, June 8. That
worldly fame and repute are evanes-
cent and that even the greatest services
one can render to his fellow men are
apt soon to be forgotten is the lesson
of this sermon. The text is Exodus
4, 8, "Now there arose up a new king
over Egypt which knew not Joseph"
If there is any country which pre-
eminently built its monuments to en-
dure as long as the world lasts that
land is ancient Egypt. When the
Egyptians planned a monument to COM
memorate a victory or the glories of
their kings or national heroes they
seemed to say, 1--WE will erect this
monument out of such massive stones
that the foundations of the earth shall
have to be moved before they are rock
ed down." These graves like those of
the ''tombs Of the kings" were eXca-
waited from the sides of the mountains
themselves, To break them down the
iconoclast must rip open the earth and
tear down the foundations Of the hills
and destroy the unbr0ken rocks which
have never been disturbed since the
Divine Mason mortarGd them in at their
laying. Yet there is a strange irony in
