tut Rev. R. B. Williams De-
clares AL Have Been Fail

ssUE WITH MRS. EDDY
hose Who VIII Not Adopt Modern
Discoveries Oassed as "Old
Fogies," Says Minister.

Rev. R. B. Williams, pastor of the
arst Methodist church, addressed his
aggregation last evening on the sub
sct, odd Time Religion" His text
'as taken from Jeremiah GIG, "Ask
DR. the old paths, where is the good
ray, and walk therein. and We shall
nd rest for our souls"
Rev. Mr.. Williams said in part:
There are some people In this world
mo hang on to anything that is old
IMPLY because it is old. They form
nstoms and habits and no matter
That Is done. they will not change to
ew habits. They love anything that
J ancient. We call them old fogies.
There are other people who take to
IL things that are new. They are Just
ne opposite of those who like the an
ique. II there is a new style in dress,
hey conform to 1t simply because It
new and some one has told them
nat it Is the thing, or else they have
cen 1t in the fashion journal. No
latter what it is or how 1t looks, e
is new, they will get it and wear Il.
NO different In Religion.
1t is this way with all things; not
lothes alone. For instance, any new
sligion will have a large crowd of
blowers if the name which is given
1t sounds good. This new religion
allied New Thought is beyond me
can not even understand it when l

blowers.
"On the other hand, some people
enaciously cling to the old religion
nd customs and will not touch any
hing new, no matter how attractive
r popular it may be. And there are
ome of the old things which can not
e improved upon. Gold has been
sed in the commercial world since
lie earliest ages and has never de-
'riorated in value or been changed.
o it is in poetic literature. Homer,
ante and Shakespeare stand alone rs
riters. Through the long ages no
ne has been able to produce a thing
lat will even touch the lliad and
dessy of Homer, and Milton is the
ally man who has even had a claim

cores Of men have tried but have
lied to even touch the style dis
tayed in the work of these three men.
All Make Failures.

THE Christian religion recognizes

Iat there IS no such thing as sin;

so, for all the times that have sinned
by act or thought would but be mis-
takes or errors and would be pure.
She says that there is no sickness or
death One of the Christian Scientist
ministers while saying this in one Of
his talks fell dead. He just passed
away. The bible says people sinned
Any one who is deceitful or desperate
ly mean is a sinner. They call them
selves followers of Christ. Christ ad-
mitted that there was sin when He
forgave sinners when they kneeled be-
fore Him and sought pardon. He
never said there was no sin. Jesus
was born for the purpose of saving
people from sin. How do we get rid
of sin? The blood of Jesus Christ
cleanses our sins.
Grown I'm Conceit.
"The trouble with some of the peo-
pie in this world is that they have
grown in conceit. The trouble is in
their head. Our heads are bigger than
ourselves. There is no other name
whereby we may be saved except
through Jesus name. Some people
are happy in their religion and saliva
ton and go to church and worship
God because they enjoy doing It.
Others go If they like the singing and
don't go If they don't like it, They
think that the church is nothing but
club, a place for meeting their
friends. Any one who has ever been
able to pray to God and has dropped
so low that he can not now say thank
God is to be pitied more thany any
one else.
THE people who go to church nova
days are restrained in their actions;
they always want to do the proper
thing according to the rules of ETH
quette. There is not the spontaneous
life in the congregation today that
there used to be. l would be scared
to death if anyone should say Amen. .
