UNHOLY VENTURES AS OF OIL

Trusts and Corporations same rs
OppressOrH of the Ancients.
Beginning with the earliest Bible history
and advancing step by step through that
Chronology up to the escape Of the Israel
ties from the Egyptians by passing through
the Red sea, while their pursuers were
drowned In the flood Of waters, Rev. NJ. V.
Higbee at the North Presbyterian church
Sunday told of the holy and unholy ven
lures OF Bible times and compared the I'M
holy venture Of the Egyptian slave drivers
to apprehend the Israelites and keep them
In captivity to the opp tssive rule of trusts
erd corporations of the present day.
Mr.. Higbee took bis text from Hebrews
11:2s, by faith they passed through the
Red sea as by dry land; which the Egypt
iaps asssying TO do, were drowned" At
the outset OF his discourse the pastor
called attention to the fact that the chosen
people passed through the Red sea by
faith and made the statement that It was
no more wonderful or no more of a miracle
for God to part the waters of the sea and
let His people pass through on dry land
than it is for Him to cause the century
cactus to bloom but once in 100 years.
The sacrifices of Cain and Abel, the
acceptance of Abel's sacrifice and the
bupSeQueul muTQeT OF ADel Dy cam was
but the beginning Of a period of great sin
which in ever increasing sway ensnared
the hearts of meR until only one true
family remained, and Noah built the ark
and rode out the flood of forty days n
forty nights. 1t was a holy venture Of
Noah's, but the most holy venture was
that of Moses when he led his people up
to the shore of the Red sea and the waters
opened and they passed through to safety,
the water closing over the Egyptians who
followed. 1t was a holy venture of Moses.
but 1t was an unholy venture of the Egypt
ians.
There are many unholy ventures now,
and anyone who would become a reformer
must recognize this and must also recog-
nize this one principle: The greatest good
to the largest number must be continually
and assiduously sought. Anything to keep
the people from worshiping God on the
Sabbath day is a. unholy venture.
Egypt held the Israelites in slavery, to
grind down and get out of them all that
they could. Whether conditions are the
same now I do not say, but they tell me

CHRIST CONCEPTION OF RELIGION
''Follow Me" ia the Summary of the
SaviOr's Doctrine.

''FollOw Me- is the Summary of the
Savior's Doctrine.
THE Christ Conception of Religion was
the subject of the sermon Of Rev. ]. w.
Conley at the First Baptist church Sunday
morning. The text was from Galatians
WIG, For as many as walk. according to
this lie, peace be on them and mercy, and
upon the Israel of God" DR.. Conley said
in part:
las you have received Christ Jesus the
Lord, so walk with Him. The subject Of
religions is very comprehensive. Many of
them are false. The religion of Jesus Christ
was summed up in two words: Follow
Me-
my purpose is to give you an outline of
the essential features of the Christian life.
The false religions are not alone the
heather religions. We have them in
America. and there is much falsity in some
Of our so-called evangelical churches.
THE Pharisees' idea of religion was that
of something to be taken on and not within.
It was with them a l gall 3m. the whole con-
ception being in the observation of some
form. They had no idea Of the Astounding
life In the soul or of an outKrowing life
from the soul. The faithful of the Phara-
siacal churches were admonlshed strictly
to observe the ordinances of feast lays and
all other outward manifestations OF their
religious ordinances. There is in the church
OF today too much of he superficial ex-
position OF ecclesiasticism So a religion
that puts form above life cannot endure.
Religion is a power within the soul. as
interpreted by Jesus Christ. It is the en-
ergy which works within. a power within
the soul.
reason. Truth Is so immense tina we can
not take II all In. The truest faith Is that
faith which thinks. 1t is wrong to think
that our colleges and universities are prone
to Influence a lack OF faith in religion. On
the contrary. in these Institutions are beine
laid the foundations for the sublime
truths"

VIENNA, Nov. 16.-It is semi-ofticillly

These measures will be purely of a de-
