Removing Temptations was the sub

Sunday, the text being Isaiah 57:14, Take
up the stumbling block out of the way Of
my people," Mr.. Hays said in part:
'The Israelites were human. The
prophets, as their religious teachers, had
often to rebuke them. In this book of
Isaiah the cody life is set before the peo-
pie as the summit of a mountain, the
holy mountain at Jerusalem. To attain
to the summit ii is necessary to travel
the road up to 1t, and the road is steep
and full of Instructions. The prophet is
reproaching the people for not attaining
to more of this godliness, when the di-
vine voice speaks and says: Take up

ought to be made as easy as possible.
