interesting sermon on Mans Steward

on the fallacies of the world. the
claims Of ownership by the people who
own nothing but their sin, as every
thing else has come from God. Men
drift far apart from the true church
by following schisms and when they
say II they had the opportunity 10
have lived I'm the days Of Christ how
happy they would have been; but men
refused to hear Christ Just as they re-
fuse TO hear His living, speaking rep
resentative. the church. to-day. We
must remember that what earthly
things we have come from God and
not from ancestors. Thev were stew
ards and we are but stewards at the
present time. The old man at a ripe
old age or the young man just bios
soming into manhood and looking at
things in all the crimson OF their glory
may be the next on whom His finger
NAV fan to render an account of their
stewardship.
