THE SERMON
Last Sunday morning was upon
the responsibility of the church
and upon the parents for the sal
walton of the children.
The text was Deut 6: 81, And
these words which | command
thee this day shall be in thine
heart, and thou shalt teach them
diligently to thy children, and
shalt talk of them when thou slttest
in thine house and when thou
walkest by the way and when thou
hest down and when thou risest
up.
Having promised the discussion
with the statement that the future
of the family, the church and the
State will be precisely what we of
this generation make of the child
rem who are to take Our places, it
was remarked that something OF
far more Importance than the well
fare of even empires is the ques-
ton, is it we'll with the child?'
now, and will it he we'll with its
soul a thousand years from this
time?
THE SOLICITORS FACT
Was shown that in view of the
tendencies to evil which are wrap
ped up in the human soul, and the
adverse environment of the sinful
world it is a moral certainty that
it shall not be we'll with the chile
unless the nature shall be changed
and the soul brought into unison
with God.
But the infinitely wise and loving
God has provided two agencies by
which these adverse influences may
be counteracted and the rudder O
the young soul may be so set thai
it shall reach at last the safe por'
of heaven.
One of these agencies is
THE CHURCH.
1t was shown from plain Scrip
ture teaching that when the churcl
was organized the children wer,
included in the covenant of grace
and together with the parents re
ceived the sealing ordinance which
was a sign and seal of the right
eousness of faith. If the sheep o
his pasture are within the fold o
lhe visible church, it would b.
strange indeed if the lambs als'
were not within.
But membership in the visibl
church does not necessarily involv'
membership in the church invis

Shepard For Bryan

New York, Sept. 9. In a statement
given out to-day Edward NJ. Shepard
announced his intention to support w.
j. Bryan for the Presidency. and while
paving high tribute to the character Of
Mr. Taft. he told why he cannot sup
port him. Mr.. Shepard in his state
ment said. in part:
II shall support Mr.. Bryan. The is
sues being at last fully made up, am
unable to see that Americans who
cherish the traditional and beneficent
Democracy which was signally repre-
scented by Mr. Cleveland. can rightly do
otherwise than support Mr.. Bryan. If
MIR. Taft's solemn statement of his
program be sincere and intelligent, then
his very gifts and virtues would, in the
White House. be used to promote pro-
gram. the chief items of which every
Democrat and every other good citizen
ought to deem dangerous to the future
welfare of our country.
THE first of these is the protective
tariff. with its corrupting preferences
and socialistic character, and its newt
able and enormous results in monopoly
and governmental extravaganza and in
iquity The second policy which Mr..
Taft avows with honorable frankness
is called the ''imperialistic program.
which means the perversion of the Ameri
can Government from its true and
traditional idea of Democratic and equal
rights.
The third point made by Mr. Shepard
is the perpetuation of my policies, 3"
and he believes Taft too sincere to go
back on ante-election promises.
Mrs. Clarence NJ. Taylor and son
returned home Tuesday night from a
pleasant visit of three weeks to Oxford.
