REVIEWS HISTORY OF
VASHTI AND ESTHER
Rev. j. w. Shoaff Draws Lessons
from Fall of Ahasuerus as to
the Evils of Drink and
Ambition

Rev. ]. w. Shoaff, d. D.. pastor OF
Trinity Methodist church south, corner
South Grand avenue and West Ninth
street, delivered the second of his series
of lectures on the Life and Times OF
Queen Esther" Yesterday evening. He
said. in part:
Last Sunday evening we mingled
amid the gay and festive scenes OF the
Shushan palace. The most brilliant
woman in the throng was Vashti. The
monarch, in the midst of his drunken
revelry, ordered Vashtt to appear III
his presence, but she refused to appear
before him and his royal guests who
had turned the feast into wild de-
hatchery. Stung to anger by Vashtl
refusal to appear before him and MS
tening to the counsel of unwise as well
as wicked advisers, the king mace q
decree of divorce-issued royal COM
mandant and had 1t inscribed among
the laws of his kingdom, that every
man should bear rule in his own house.
Thus this fair woman was set aside by
the one who should have been the de-
fender of her name and the protector
of her character.
'Impelled by ambition that relentless
spirit which putting on the very pomp
of Lucifer turns the heart to ashes,
the king made war upon 'beauteous
grace and met with inglorious defeat
With the disgrace of irretrievable de-
feat upon him the king made forced
marches to Shusan. With energies inn
paired by over exertion with his spirit
broken by misfortune, Ahasuerus en-
deavored to drown his disgrace in the
revels of a voluptuous court. In his
waking thoughts and midnight dreams
conscience haunted him for the cruel
wrong committed against Vashti. His
counselors suggested the remedy OF
the expulsive power of a new affec-
tion.'
Fair maidens from every part OF
the empire were brought before the
king, and among them Esther. The
king made her his wife and crowned
her queen. Suddenly stepping from OBJ
security to world wide glory and honor
Hadassah, the Myrtle graced the
splendor of a Persian court. AS Es'
ther 1.-The star she assembled to hei

Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-08

blessings upon her beloved people ana
through them to the world.
And now let us reduce the historic
review of the evening to some practi-
cal account.
I'VE learn that the wine cup is the
enemy of domestic peace and happi-
ness. 1t transforms the affectionate
husband into the unfeeling monster and
turns home, that should be the dearest
place on earth. into hell of horror
1.-THE review of the evening reminds
us that proud. imperious ambition in
stead of being a constructive, is de-
structive force in life.
Fling away ambition!
BY that sin fell the angels. How can man.
The image of his Maker, hope to proft
by it?
Again let us remember that con-
science haunts the soul with the UNI
righteous deeds of the past. Time and
again the king thought of Vashti and
the law he had so cruelty written
against her Thus, conscience quick
ened by the bitter memories of the
past, planted his crown with thorns.
Foul deeds will rise.
Though all the earth overwhelm them,
To mems eyes.
Learn again that our providential
stations in life mean ,proportionate re-
sponsibility and corresponding sphere
of usefulness. Queen Esther was to be
power for God. With her fair hand
she was to overthrow the plot to de-
stroy her people. Remember this, your
opportunity is your throne. Live for
others. gladden. the world with your
smile. Fill your place in life by con-
secrated ministry to others. Let us. in
the fear of God, try to make the world
better and brighter by our presence"

The public dance halls are traps of the
devil and should be one and all sum-
marily suppressed. The Los Angeles
Times some time ago, referring to these
dance halls, said. Dancing, at best, is
an amusement that has certain dan
gerous lure about it. We do not hest
tate to say that no young man In this
community who has the faintest sus-
picion of respect for his own sister
would allow her to enter these places
and to associate with the people who
are to be found there regularly.
Some of these dance halls are run
ming Sunday evening. In the interest
of personal purity the dance should be
eliminated from all society. No self
respecting young woman should be
willing to dance with any man. 1t is
not forgotten that in the DEVILS last
unsuccessful attempt to capture st.
Anthony he sent a group of handsome
women to invite him to dance with
them"
DR.. Locke also, in severe language,
denounced social wine drinking, and
cordially commended President Taft
on his recent resolve to become a total

CIVILIZATION IS DUE
MAINLY TO SKEPTICS

Yesterday morning Reynold E.
Blight. minister of the Los Angeles
Fellowship, delivered the first address
in series on 1.-The Religion of the
Skeptics." taking as his topic What
the World owes to the Skeptlcs. he
said:
THE glories of our present civiliza-
ton are largely the achievements or
skeptics and skepticism. To whom are
we indebted for the present era Oh
enlightenment? Darwin, Wallace, Tyn-
dali, Huxley, Hackel and others
skeptics all. The real skeptic is not
an atheist or a cynic. He is doupter
of tradition and authority. and chal-
lenges every voice and every teaching
until proved true by reason and ex-
perience He is a seeker after truth.
"All the men and women who have
made a lasting impression on the minds
of men have been denounced by their
contemporaries as skeptics, atheists,
heretics, blasphemers The world can
never pay it's debt to them. They have
been the light-bringers of the race.
Strong, sturdy, self-reliant, indie
pendent heroes, they have rendered
inestimable service to the world.
"The skeptics have broken the power
of dogma and authority, and freed
the minds of men. They have purged
religion of superstition. The skeptics
have given us a new world; a world
of law, of purpose, of progress and of
eternal hope.
"The true skeptic is at heart a man
of faith; a man whose sincerity will
not excuse hypocrisy, whose earnest
ness will not permit any compromise;
an exposer of shams that truth may be
revealed He does not rest in the
sunless gulf of doubt but presses on
ward to the heights of affirmation and
faith
mo skepticism will ever shake the
principles of genuine religion. No
skepticism will ever invalid2te the
moral law. No skepticism will ever
deny the sympathes of the human
heart. Religion. pure and undefled,
comes from and goes to God and is
eternal.
