A SATURDAY SERMON.

Now the works Of the flesh are mani
fest, which are these: Adultery, tornlca-
tion, uncleanness. lasciViousness, ldo!atry'
witcheraft, hatred, variance, enulatlons'
wrath, strife, heresies, envyinSs, murders,
drunkenness. revellings. and such like,
of which I tell YOU before, as l nave also
told YOU in time past, that they which VIII
do such things shall not inherit the king
dom Of God Galatians 10, 20 and p
Thur wrote the gifted Paul With
seventeen words he sets forth the
frailties and faults of humanity. Ha-
tired and envyings. wrath and revel-
lings. these are classed in the same
car CORY with murder and the grosser
crimes against self and brother, as
making one unworthy of a place in
the kingdom Of God. How constant
and incessant should be the striving
then on the part of every person to
guard his tongue and his temper. his
hands and his passions from leading
him into doing any of these things
that is sure TO mark him with the
brand of Cain; that viii deny him the
JOYS of life and the rest of a here
after.
For the kingdom of God must be
ubiquitous It must be omnipresent-
everywhere. Surely it cannot be linn
tied to such a heavenly city as was
revealed to st. John which he so
graphically describes: And the build
ing of the wall of it was Of jasper; and
the city was pure gold. and like unto
clear glass. And the foundations Of
the wall OF the city were garnished
with all manner Of precious stones -
And the twelve gates we're twelve
pearls: every several gate was of one
pearl; and the street of the city was
pure gold, as it were transparent
glass"
The kingdom Of God must be the
realization Of true happiness. Not the
happiness brought about by fulfilled
desire which is styled heaven by the
loft-quoted Persian poet Omar Khay-
VAN. unless the desires are only fol
those things that are good. True
happiness is alone to be found in the
pursuit and the enjoyment of every
thing that is pure in social, benevo
lent and religious activities. With i
comes a peace and contentment tina
is without price.
= Life becomes filled with JOY for thu
man or the woman who earnestly
strives to do right in all things: who
shuna the glitter and the dross who
fights temptations with that success
full weapon. an honest will. Doin'
ones full duty to ones neighbor an'
ones self is the great panacea. 1t i
the cure-an of those bodily ills tina
are Induced by mental Woes.
In the kingdom of God there ma
be a final resting place in cit.
whose gates are pearls and who's
streets are paved with gold. but tn
kingdom OF God is also living real
ity. a vital place. It is. where tru
happiness reigns. The spirit of Low
which prompts right-living. right
thinking and the right-dealing of ma
with man, is the key that unlocks it
. doors. Admittance to this kingdom
of God is denied to no man. Nor
the way to it so difficult If earnest et
forts are made to follow it.

The difference between the rich mail
order houses and the average local
merchant is this: the mail order houses
know that advertising is an invest
ment. whereas the local merchant too
often imagines that it Is an item of
expense.
That is. why the mail order houses
are so hard to compete with. Their
advertising goes on forever, and draws
like mustard plaster.

merchant say: AZ haven't any money

that she knows how to keep house,

GROWING BETTER.

There have been some important
changes in the social life of the capt.
tai of the United States. A little more
than one hundred years ago Thomas
Jefferson was president 1t was not
out of the ordinary for bibulous scenes
to accompany state dinners. So much
so was this true that it was the RUE
for the women OF the company to re-
tire to their homes rather early in the
evening, leaving their lords to stay by
the board and engage in high revelry.
It was no uncommon thing Tor IN
leading public men to become maudlin
drunk insomuch that they fell from
their chairs and rolled upon the floor
Nor did such action materially affect
the political standing of those so en-
gagged Today it would not take many
public sprees to become the political
undoing of the participant Dan Web
ster would be regarded as an old soak
were he alive today. Family men who
love their own wives and who are
sober and religious never exerted a
greater proportionate power in the
history of the nation The world
