wicked examples The mixed multi
tude who affiliated with the children
of Israel at their exodus from Egypt
set to them such examples as caused
them to forget and neglect themselves
and their Redeemer.
Wicked examples were, are and ever
will be detrimental to individuals as
well as to societies. Wicked examples
have always, like deadly poison, de-
stroyed the souls Of our young and
old who follow them. Hence the great
men of every age have cautioned US,
saying, DO not associate with the
wicked and goddess" Patriarch Abra-
ham, scripture tells us, when having.
in obedience to Gods command, start
ed on journey through the land Of
Canaan, took with him his nephew
Lot as his fellow traveller. While on
their travels a strife arose between
Abraham's and Lots shepherds. And
Abraham said to Lot: Separate thy
self from me-"
The reason for that separation was,
according to the old commentaries to
scripture, because Lots shepherds
graZed their cattle on strange fields.
Abraham did not allow his shepherds
to do this because it would sanction
robbery. Abraham therefore severed
his connection, for he feared that Lots
wicked example would corrupt the NOR
ais of his household. The children Of
Israel when sojourning in the wilder
ness in the company of their ungodly
neighbors the mixed multitude, were
constantly exposed to the contagious
effect Of their evil examples.
Parents whom heaven has blessed
with children have imposed upon them
the sacred duty of bringing them up
as good and law-abiding men and wo-
men. In order to be enabled to per-
form that duty they should keep their
offspring away from undesirable asso-
ciates. Then the old ones will justly
pride themselves in the new genera
ton, who will be a praise and bless
ing to their parents and to the city
in which they were born and educated.

little life means little work can be

Introducing a Lecturer.

Bliss Knapp lectured on Christian
Science to a very attentive audience in
Music Hail. Fall River, Mass, Monday
evening, June l. He was introduced by
Rev. DR.. !. F. Packard formerly a Bap-
fist clergyman, who said in part
| have been asked To introduce the
speaker of the evening, and 1t Is with
great pleasure that have accepted the
invitation. But had such an invitation
come to me two years ago, not only
would not have accepted it, but would
have remained away from the lecture.
Having been reared according to the
teachings Of one OF the strlctest of our
so-called evangelical denominations, and
having occupied its pulpts as a regular
ly ordained minister for nearly eighteen
years, had come to regard the Christian
Scientists as a people who were making
a very great mistake and tor whom
could see only a miserable hereafter.
Hence ielt 1t to be my duty to warn the
people to whom mlnlstered, from the
pulpit and in every manner possible, to
beware of what | regarded as mon
strous deception. Need | tell YOU that

| had not even read 1t. Since that time,
however, circumstances have occurred
which have led me not only 70 read but
to study that book and it gives me
great pleasure to say to you that hon
estly believe that Christian Science
teaches the very same truth that Jesus
the Christ proclaimed hen his feet
pressed the hills and valleys OF Palestine.
"a truth which shows most clearly the
true relation existing between God and
man; a truth which will transform this
world and bring in that glad hour when
the Kingdoms of this world shall be
come the Kingdoms of our Lord and of
his Christ"
To me, Christian Science has been a
great blessing, physically and spiritually.
