Sermon ON American IdOIatry.


Let us be personally acquainted with
our Bibles, follow the deeper conscious
ness of our natures lllumlned by truth and
be honest with one another and with our
God" was the advice Rev. DR.. Wheeler,
preaching In the First Presbyterian church
yesterday morning, gave the American peo-
pie. He was preaching on the subject,
Thoughts on American Idoatry," and Sc
lected his text from the first Epistle to
Corinthians, tenth chapter. Neither be We
idolators as were some OF them; as It is
written. The people sat down to eat and
drink ana rose up to play"
Idolatry he pointed out was a product
The first stage Of its growth was insn-
certify, our appearing to be what we were
not Next came, he said infldelity, a care
less disregard OF our obligations, political
and religious. When a man was Insincere
and was not possessed Of fidelity and
separated himself from God then he had to
have an idol made for himself. An idolator
was one. affirmed the preacher who had a
passionate devotion for something beside
God He pointed out the insincerity OF the
public in regard to many of the questions
OF the day and as an Illustration alluded TO
certain politicians who claimed to belong
to the party Of JeffersonIan simplicity and
yet because Of election victories sat down
to a banquet which rivaled the feast of
BelshaSzar. All through life he declared
there was lack of that sincerity which
characterized their fathers. Emphasizing
infidelity he said there was a carelessness
of the obligations one citizen owed TO
another. Then there was a decay of
respect for the laws OF the country. and
the operations OF the courts and those
beneficent legislative acts by which we
we're blessed combined with a decay of
reverence, the child for the home. the
woman for her husband and the man for
his God.
