Springfield, Chia. who preached the
baccaulauerate serm6h Sunday MORN
ing, is of the HANNA Divinity school
of the general synod of the Evangeli-
eal Lutheran church, at Springfield.
The subject of his discourse was
~'Some factors in manhood liable to be
neglected" his text being taken from
the Epistle to Titus, 3:8: 'These
things I will that thou affirm con-
tstantly." The sermon was mastery
presentation of a timely subject, and
was delivered in manner which
held the undivided attention of the
large audience.
DR.. Bauslin spoke of some Of the
characteristics of the utilitarian age
in which we are living. It is, he said,
a period of great mental activity, OF
tangled conflict Of opinion, OF much
unsettlemeut of mems ideas, OF un-
certainty and confusion in peoples
thinking. Every domain is invaded
by revolutionary doctrines, beliefs
and unbeliefs Man is confronted not
so much with theory or system OF
life as by spirit of life. The domi-
nant secular spirit of the age is not
conducive to the cultivation of the
higher utilities of life, and men are
constantly under the necessity cf be-
ing called back to think upon some OF
the factors in sound living.
An age such as ours, said the
speaker, makes it both easy and con-
venient to neglect.
In the further development of his
subject DR.. Baus1in spoke of three
factors in our modern life which our
age characteristics render US liable
to neglect.
l. The first of these factors which
man is liable to neglect, he said, and
which needs a constant reaffirmation
