youth" the desertion of God by
Israel. DR.. Wright described the
growth OF spiritual insight In the
prophet. and said all growth is
BY surges: that the corn leaves
develop first. then the stock. then
the ear. Children grow a few
years and rest a year and grow
more. and the brain develops the
same way, and nations, too. He
said this intermittent growth Is
natural aud necessary. Periods
of prosperity are not periods of
real upward growth. BY a beau
tiful Illustration he showed how
that when mems AFFAIRS are
brightest they are self-sufilcient
and the tendency is downward:
but when reverses come they
turn to their God. and they hunt
out the evil and remedy It AMI
grow until good times come
again.
Dr.. Wright called attention to
the looseness OF moral ties aud
avarice that grew on the bounti-
full times, and he said as pain is
"a manifestation Of Gods mercy,
warning us OF some III OF the
flesh. so these money panics
warn us that there Is something
wrong that needs remedying in
our lives. He said he has no fear
OF the outcome, II We only take
heed to the warning. and he be-
lleves the backset has Afforded
US opportunity to study whittier
We were drifting.
In beginning DR.. Wright said
that while he viii not touch
upon political issues directly or
indirectly. he believes that II a
minister has message 10 de-
liver TO the people. now Is the
time.

Two sermons were preached
yesterday by Paducah pastors ON
subjects pertinent TO the great
political struggle now going on.
At the First Presbyterian church
Rev. W. Il. Cave took his text
from Ezekial, xiv, 20, as quoted
in the foregoing, and preached
on the Limitation OF Gods
Mercy" showing In the words Of
the prophet that on account Of
the moral condition OF Jerusa-
lem the presence OF these three
righteous men would not serve TO
save even their own children, to
cay nothing OF the city Itself
The moral responsibility that
rests on the individual TO pre-
serve the state and the fact that
there Is a limitation to the for
bearanCe Of the deity was the
burden OF his discourse, while he
showed the converse to be true,
that righteous citizenship
would preserve a nation.
