! Allnsion was made to the scripture
Witch saws God will visit the sins Oh
ma fathers upon the children unto the
third and fourth generation. People
+ sncently carried pplicat ton Of this TOO 90
far. a study OF slang expressions @ re-
/ yeaed the fact that many OF them
( originated in truth, but the truth mas
beer, lost sight of, In ancient Israel
Il used to be said, The fathers have y,
eaten sour grapes and the cflildrenis
teeth are set. on edge. The speaker
then read from Ezekiel chapter is the
word Of the Lord in reply thereto, which.
4 said they would not have occasion %
use the saying any more, and that II
man walked in the ways OF the Lord
he SHALL live on the other hand If he
have a son who is wicked he shall die.
Il And again, ifshe who Is wicked. have a.
son who does not go after his fathers
WAYS but does right and keeps the
commandments of the Lord, he shall not
. bear the iniQuity of his wicked father.
EXCUSES FOR WRoNGDoING.
He referred again to tho tendency
among men to excuse themselves Tor
their wrong doing, and said that chill
dren who want to place upon their pa
rents the blame for their condition,
when the parents have done the best
they could, will have to answer them
selves for their sins. On the other,
! hand, no one can appropriate the good
his father has done to his own ac-
count
Reference was made TO the oft quot
ed saying that God has created all men
equal, which the speaker said was not
{ true in the manner in which 1t is gem
traily used. No two men are created
EQUAL as it is generally understood.
The pre-existence of spirits and the
vision shown to Abraham concerning
this subject We're then touched upon
He saw among the spirits who were to
z come on earth some noble ones, from
whom God said he would choose his
Z leaders. HereditTis5 believed in. There
J Has progression in the state of primeval
children Man shall continue to pro-
sless, He is not justified in wholly
Ii lQr what he is. All men are reSpon- \
able. for their own acts because God
has given to them their free agency.
The heather who blindly bows down
q wood and stone, if he acts up to the
highest conscience he has, will be en-!
htled to receive opportunities for great
II light. An upright. honest heather
/, Is worth more in the sight of God
man an enlightened hypocrite. II a
man Is given men with whom
70 do work, in order to be responsible
4 ne must have control over them. Men
= nave their agency and may control
K themselves. If they make the wrong
ehoice they should not blame their
ancestors for their own folly.
De speaker then referred to the APP
Loaeh Of Independence day, in which
.feedom and Independence Will be laud-
~ slnterdependence is found to be tho

s'unaed by the rights of others, Men

He referred to the effort to have tho
~, ,ssislature pass the Sunday law, clos
