the sermon was delivered by Rev. Tyler

| Called 10 be saints"
He pointed out the different construc-
/ tons placed upon the word saint BY
the modern world. as compared 20 the
medieval peoples. In the early Christian
era. he said. the name saint" applied
from the world. and Stunned all inter
course with their kind. and who looked
out upon the world from the shelter OF
the cloisters. but took no part in its
struggles.
Were Undoubtedly Sincere.
These saints" he said. We're undoubt-
edly sincere in their manner Of living.
but he considered them selfish. inasmuch
as their endeavors were used solely IN
their own behalf and they cared nothing
for The saving and uplifting OF others.
This. he said, is directly opposed 10 the
teachings OF Christ, who lived not Tor
Himself but for al Of mankind. and SUI
fered torture and death not thar lie Him
self might achieve merit in the eyes OF
the Lord. but in order that mankind
might be saved
He further stated that in his opinion
the modern man Of family has more real
.saintliness In his nature than the ancient
who wore a spiked girdle and fayed him
SELF with whips that ne might acquire
merit. for the simple reason that the mod
ern man with family lives for some
one other than himself. and thinks
and works for the good and uplifting OF
others This, he said, not only violates
no law Of nature. but is also more accept
