HUMAN GRECO IS
DENOUNCED BY
REV. Mr.. LUMBAR
Pastor Says 1t Causes to Exist
Sweatshops, Child Labor
and the Saloon.

1.-The Call of the Nations, or Human
Destiny Greater Than Human Greed
was the topic of a sermon by the Rev.
w. T. S. Lumbar at the Mt. Pleasant
! Baptist Church last night. He said In
part. an
THAT great events are still in store
for the human race few doubt. Both
the nature of the vents and the
method of the attainment is a matter
of great difference of opinion. the
materialist, with a credulity greater
than the faith of his religious brotner,
believes they will be reached by the IN
dividual efforts of man. He sees a on
stantly ascending series of advance
ments, till man shall stand at the apex,
the crown and glory of all things. Inc
student of and believer in Gods WORD
sees God cooperating with mar uhtii
the glory and beauty of God shall shine
forth through man, ennobling anu
GROWING all else.
THE call of the nations is a simple
one. 1t Is a call to the service OIL Ioo'
and the of disobedlence Is
that that nation that will not serve
Him shall be destroyed. This world Is
vet to be made up of nations that love
and serve God. The nations are not
ALWAYS to live in disobedience to the
divine righteousness. After many cen
| turtles Of effort there has been put niue
progress made in saving nations. The
righteousness of God and the 1alth OIL
Jesus have made but little impression.
The destiny of the world is written In
letters as bold and bright as the hand-
writing seen on the wall by beisnazzai,
| and that destiny Is the knowleose OIL
the fear Of the Lord shall cover 'he
| earth as the waters cover the sea.
| Human greed is the n tning tna'

ment than any other. 1t is human sreeo

that made England compel CHINA to

'It is that greed, both individually
and nationally, that keeps the Jew GU
of his own, and refuses him admittanc'
to his own land. But as the greed o
man shall be impotent to Withstand tn
will of God in other things, when !
comes his time to act, so shall it II
this. The day cannot be far distan
when the Jew shall no longer be scat
