DR.. Howard Cites Fate OF Lots
Wife to Show Danger of
Looking Backward.

The congregation in the Halsey
Street Methodist Church was delighted
last night when the choir repeated the
feature was the violin solo impressive
1y rendered by Mr.. Gill.
DIR. Howard chose as his theme THE
Fate of Looking Backward" from the
text found in Gen. xix. rs. He said
the theme was most fitting for the &C.
casion of transition from the old year
to the new. In part he said:
Looking forward and not backward
inspires hope and faith. The highest
ideals of life have for their direction
always the forward look. Forward is
the w%atchword of civilization. For
ward is the note of commerce; forward
is ever the theme of education; for
ward was the great commission of
Christ to His disciples.
Forward from the wicked and cor
rupt city of Sodom to the holier at
mosphere of the mountains was the
command of Jehovah to Lot and his
household.
Dangers to life, moral and physical,
abound most in the plains and con-
gested centers of population. When
this call came to Lot and his family
less than half were willing to leave
theig alluring environments for a bet
ter life, a fact marvelously typical of
conditions as we find them today. Our
great cities are crowded with men and
women who once lived better lives,
coming from the country or rural dis
tricts as did Lot. They and their
families settle down to a life of pleas
ure or perhaps absorbing industry, and
forget God. 1t is to all such that the
call of God to look up and move
forward to the hills of Zion for safety,
GOD warned Lot and his family
against looking back. The warning
was especially given that temptation
to return might be avoided. 1t is in
the looking backward to old associa
tions and environments that most per-
sons make the fatal mistake of apos-
tacy. Most failures in life can easily
be traced to the backward look.
Lots wife looked backward and was
turned to a pillar of salt. In this
marvellous visitation of Gods wrath
the cities and all the plain was con-
sumed by fire:
J Nothing is more useless than salt
when destroyed by fire. 1t is this kind
of salt that looses its SAVIOR and is
thenceforth good for nothing but te
be cast out and be trodden under the
foot of man. Lots wife as a pillar OF
salt consumed or destroyed In the fire
is a fitting type of the utter destruc-
ton that follows disobedience of God
and Is set as a warning against look
ing back to the enticements of sin.'s
