Bishop keane delivered the SER
mon. The speaker IS possessed Of
firmly the attention of his congrega-
ton He said in part:
Without faith in men, life and pray
#ers We're impossible, life a burden, and
unsatisfactory motion between the
gates Of doubt.
Take confidence away in the word
OF men, faith in the work of men, re-
.lliance in the possibilities of men, and
the achievements we call history, the
progress of our pride We're impossible
1ngfaith the sailor crossed the unknown
waters and discovered new worlds; in
faith the miner delved into the earth:
in confidence In the word, the loyalty
of men, nations We're built and .he edi-
flee of law and justice reared.
.'And shall we have trust ingsn,en,
faith in the word of man and none In
our Father who Is In heaven? With
hearts and instincts that cry after the
unseen, the spiritmal. the immortal
with inteliects eager for truth, adapt.
ed to its discovery and reception, shall
we degrade ourselves to the earth and
call 1t our father and our brother?
There Is a God. a Creator, a Father,
our beginning and end; and pitiable
md distracted his condition who should
think that Father careless of our fate
and ways, He has spoken and trust in.
His speech and reliance on His word
has been the sole glory and greatness

The man who will not live by faith,
cannot really live at all. He will never
5delye into the mysteries of nature,
or discover anything worth while.
"Iie has no social influence, for the
whole fabric of society is based upon
trust or faith in ones fellows. Why
does a man trust his fellow nano 1t
Is because he believes in moral law.
This leads to the conclusions that.
there must be moral governor, and
this results in belief in a Supernatural
Being, TO whom man Is responsible for.
his acts.
1T is only through faith that any
thing worth while Is accomplished In
worldly sense Faith in the leader
makes success in battle and the great.
est things in the world are acconplish-3
ed through it. Columbus alone be-
lieved in world In the west. He
could not prove it by any system of.
reasoning and yet behold the reward
of his faith.
Faith leads to action. Without 1t,
the world would stand still.
Every faculty of a human being
reaches after God and cries ont for Dr.
vine revelation. II there We're no God,
what would the morrow furnish? 1t
creates the hope OF mans existence
and makes living worth while in the
promise of something better in the flu

.Instinctive love for the beautiful
calls for the unseen Need of Divine
revelation causes one to expect IT,
