 A strong sermon was preached Sun day evening by Rev. H. B. Chown who took as his subject "GodlesS Com merciallsm" and in an energetic manner condemned the growing tendency of the age to neglect morality and righteous ness when brlbed by gold. He declared that gold is today held as more valuable than men, while the same selfish spirit of commercialism maintains the liquor traffic. He also took the opportunity to condemn tho use of fireworks and explosives of high power on the Fourth of July giving statistics to show the loss of life and injury resulting from their use, particularly by children.
