guilty because he told the truth.

First Presbyterian Church.

The pastor based his sermon on the
story of Hannah and Mordecia, show
ing that the intolerance, bigotry and
hatred that led Hannah to plot against
Mordecia, has been the cause of all
religious dissension through the
ages. The reformation and the thirty
years war was the result of intoler-
ance for new religious thoughts and
expressions. The revolt of the colo
1ists and the Civil War was brought
about by a difference of opinion of
rights and privileges. The strife be-
tween the Catholic and Protestant
churches was because of misunder-
standings and disagreements. The
small affairs of life are Influenced
practically by the same conditions.
We do not interest ourselves in our
neighbors or in any community, if we

not judge us SO. ne cares notnlns
for rites and ceremonies. He looks
into our hearts and sees our hopes

He understands as only God can.
