physical pre4eminence to distinguish him from the rest of the animal creation. He Is the only being alive today who, after he has been born, has immortality of ex- istence. Man is the only being to whom God has giveRKthe assurance that when he is born he shall live on forever. The eagle is supposed to be the longest lived bird. The elephant is supposed to be the longest lived of the mammals The deep sea turtle has been known to live hun dreds of years. In the Galapagos Islands, off the western coast of South America there have been found living deep sea turtles at least 300 years old. But though mans s earthly life may seem insig- nificant when compared to the longevity of turtle, an elephant or an eagle, yet his immortality stretches on through centuries after the longest lived turtle has died of old age. Man is immortal; he ~never dies.
 Mans Immortality.
 But l am never more impressed with mans immor tality than when I study his existence in the geological library of the rocks. When I tramp along a country road through the dirt, as l walk say: This soil may soon pass away. The spring freshets may come and wash it down into the valleys below" When 1 watch the birds flying overhead or the squirrels and the rabbits scurrying into their holes, I say Every few years the woods have 3. new generation of inhabi- tants. When l look upon the great trees of Calaveras grove say, "Even these trees must die" But when I look upon ths rocks, old and furrowed and with many fluctuations from the storms and lightnings of centuries, seem to see them forever standing there in all their majestic grandeur. I look upon them and say: These rocks were just the same thousands upon thousands of years ago. These rocks may be standing there in all their grandeur thousands upon thousands of years hence. Long after I have been laid in the grave my descendants may be camping under their shadow as Tam do- ing now" But longer than even those rocks will endure shall live. Long after the mighty heights of the Himalayas are melted in the last confagraton of a burn ing world the -meanest and the poorest and the most Insignificant of human be- ings who was ever clasped in mothers arms shall live.
 We honor the vases and the rings and the stones which have been exhumed from the ruins of Memphis, Babylon and Nineveh because they are old, no matter how filthy and defaced they may be. Shall we not honor human life wherever it is found when we realize that man, once born will never cease to exist, no matter how long time may be? Shall we not honor the life which shall last throughout eternity?
 But there is another fact for which we should honor the human race. God has placed within every human heart a conscience by which man, to great CT or less extent, is able to distinguish right from wrong. This conscience fs

quate isstheir human strength to over
 come those temptations. Think of what you would have done had you
 been placed in their surroundings with their tainted ancestral blood. If you do all this. will you not have a better idea of sinful mankind than you ever had in the past? Honor all men" Honor All Men.
 But we should honor all men be- cause we can see the work of grace which the gospel can perform in the heart of even the vilest sinner We see how Gods love can enter a sinful heart and purify it and reereate it. It is not the raw, crude material of phys ical life that is of so much value, but when that raw material has been made
 over by the skilled hand of the divine Workman then the finish ed article be- comes of great intrinsic worth. Man may be in the beginning repulsIve and repugnant to the eyes of others but cleansed by grace he is worthy to be honored not only by the inhabitants of earth, but also by the denizens of the skies
 In the marble quarries near Rome years ago there was cut d massive stone for a great sculptor. But, alas. after this huge piece of marble was dragged from the side of the mountain it was found that an unsightly seam ran through 1t, and 1t was cast aside
 Many sculptors came and looked at its white surface, but rejected it as use less. One day a young man, not yet 25 years of age, named Michael Angelo, came and looked at the stone and or dered it taken to his studio. Then with mallet and >chisel he began to work on
 1t day in and day out. He cut in and around this ugly seam until at last the greatest of his early masterpieces took form and that stone became the marvel of the age as David the Shepherd" preparing for his battle with the mighty Goliath. So God can take man, rough, uncouth, sinful man. man with all his imperfections, and chisel him and cleanse him, and .'man the sinful" will become man the pure" to dwell with him forever.
 Oh if we could only catch an inspired
 vision of what God can do for us, then
 there would be no difficulty in realizing what he can do for others, In the sight of the world little baby does not amount
 10 much. Babies are born by the hundred
 every day. That baby does not know
 anything but to eat and sleep when he IS
 well and cry when he is in pain. But to
 his mother that baby is ordinary child. She hovers over him; she cares for
 him; she has beautiful visions of what that baby in the future may become. And
 when, as time passes on, the baby grows
 into boy and the boy into an intellec- tual giant and becomes a leader of men

air tributary to his wealth and to nis power.
 Man looks upon the mighty mountains and says: ''I must have gold for the basis of my monetary system. Ye mighty hills, ye must open your sealed vaults and give me your treasures" Then the miner lifts his plckax and begins to tap ac the huge doors of rock and they open, and the hints of the world send out the gold in coins stamped with their signs of monetary value. Man comes down to the sea and says, 70 sea. thou must feed mel" Then the great matching plants are built and the small fish are developed in the same way as the farmers wife matches out her chickens in the barn yard Man says to the fields, "Ye must support mel" Then the blows go forth to turn over the soil and the harrows with their steel teeth crush the big clods into pieces, and the sower scatters his seed, and the reapers cut down the heavy grain, and the mills grind the wheat in white flour, and the ovens are heated. and the bread comes forth crisp and brown for the table. Man says: T must have the treas ures of other regions brought to me. l must sell my goods in foreign lands. So he gathers together his iron ore and melts it and molds it and tempers it, and the iron rails are laid, and the steel steamships are launched, and the Atlantic ocean becomes ferry, and San Francisco and New York are made next door neign- bors. Wherever mans magic wand is lift ed the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, are compelled to do his bidding. Wherever we turn we see man intellectually supreme over the ani- nal, vegetable and mineral worlds.
 Mans Perfect Hands.
 What do you consider the most con spicuous sign of mans intellectual emi- nence?' I once asked the most brilliant physicist l ever knew. That he can do this," he replied, touching each one of his fingers with the end of his thumb. Do you know that man is the only animal in the world that has perfect hand? At the base of mans thumb God has placed a little hypothenar bone about the size of the half of a small pea This little round ball of bone allows man to fashion and to do. All other animals have paws simply for motive power But man 8 supremacy is revealed in his perfect hand" Thus whenever you look upon mans moving thumb you can see sign by which God is saying to him: You can now mold iron, tunnel mountains, conquer the wild beasts of the woods, sail across the seas, blow fields build cities, lift throne which shall dominate all the animal and vegetable and mineral Kingdoms. By the joint of your moving thumb I have given you power to do all these things" Thus whenever you see man, even in his vilest and lowest form, you see an animal that, by the power of brain and hand can accomplish what no other living creature upon the face of the earth can do. Therefore .shonor all men" Honor them on account of their Intellectual and physical suprem- acy Honor them wherever they may be found.
 But man has more than intellectual and

to man what the mariners compass IS to the sailor at sea. It tells him what he should do and what he ought not to do, where he should go and where he ought not to go, what he should say and what he ought not to say. And the more the man truly follows his conscience the more if will point out the true ways of life to protect him from the shadows and the destroying rocks of error and sin.
 Mans Conscience.
 Have you ever watched the wheel
 man in the pilot house steering the
 ship? In all probability he will not
 see you or heed your presence while you are watching him. His whole mind and thought will be concentrated upon the quivering needle in the square
 box just ahead of him. Every wave. every current every gust of wind that throws the brow of that boat even a few feet off its course. that trembling
 needle at once shows the change. At
 once his strong hands grasp the han dles of his wheel, and the boat is pulled back upon It's right course. These currents and winds and waves are con tinually causing the brow of the boat to head wrong. Thus the quarter
 master has to be always needing the warning of his compass. So with the
 
 every human breast moral compass called conscience. That conscience is unceasingly at work. It is perpetually showing man the error of his way and pointing to the right course. Con science Is continually saying: You ought not to do that because 1t is
 wrong" And no man, I care not how low he may be in the scale of humani- ty, is without this flaming torch of con
 cpfa towing him the path or DurlTY and truth. Is there any other animal on earth that has a moral compass quivering and trembling in his heart besides the human animal?
 If you are careful student of zool- ogy you know that without excep- tion~ the material instinct of all anil mals but the human being ceases when the young are weaned and able to care for themselves. Among the birds. aft CT the fedglings have been taught to fly. the parents have absolutely no use or love for their young. Among the fishes, which are a lower form of life, we do not find the parents caring at all for their young. The salmon swim up the rivers at spawning time. They deposit their eggs in the shallow wa ters. Then thes mother fish at once be- comes a cannibal and will eat her young if she has the chance But in the human family everything Is changed Tn ere love has it's throne. There human heart clings to human heart. There the old love the young and the young love the old. There the strong help the weak and the weak help the strong Though in some human hearts you find the love power stunted in it's growth, yet everywhere in man you can find the moral compass telling him what is his duty to his fellow man.

 A There are three great sources of Knowledge Though the intellectual re- |servoirs may be wide and deep, yet Nor the most part they are fed from the Bwaters of three streams, which, like | |bure, sparkling fountains bub bling out | |bf the mountains of perpetual youth, never seem to lose their strength or to exhaust their source. The first Etream of education is that which we .Eeceive from the old homestead. Though we may live on to our three Hscore years and ten and our hair be- rome white as snow, yet what our mothers and fathers taught us contin- IE1ally recurs to the mind with new sig .hificance.
 The second stream of knowledge comes from books By that l do not Ilrean simply what we learned when jwa ware at school. The teachers of ! Io,r youth imparted comparatively 1it- .tla knowledge to us.
