LAST or UNION SUMMER SERVICES
Rev. C. H. Ricketts Preached at Second Congregational Church-Stabity His Theme-An Important Element of Character of Nations Well Indviduals-A Source of Strength in Anslo-Saxon Nations Lacking in Mexico

The sixth and last of the union ser vices for the Congregational churches was held Sunday morning st the Sec ond Congregational church There was a good attendance and a good sermon by the Rev Charles H. Ricketts of Greeneville His text was from Genesis 49: 4, Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel"
 Water is a great natural force of the world It is essential for all phy- sical life. All forms of organic and even inorganic life depend upon it ab- asolutely for their existence. And the industrial and commercial world are equally dependent upon water. It is absolutely essential in manufacturing of every kind. Together with light and heat, it is one of the foundation pow CTS of the world. And yet it is the weakest thing in the world Like the clinging vine, it is one-n not the greatest-leaners. It has no direction nor shape of It's own. but always takes both of these from the vessel which holds it.
 A Character Like Water.
 To this unstable element Reuben is compared. We think of him as treat ing everything in spirit of levity. He had the same weakness of will. He began many things exceedingly we'll but he never brought them to a sue cessful issue. He was not bad man, if we judge him by the standards of his day-the only right way to judge him. He merely saw nothing grand and mighty in the world. He scattered himself over too wide an area. Per- haps he settled on the wrong side of the Jordan, in country as unstable as himself. Certainly neither he nor his descendants ever amounted to any thing very great.
 Nations Must Be Stable.
 This parallel of his instability con- tains mighty truth which is applica- ble to all ages and all people. The most conspicuous thing today in hu man government. The power of any government depends upon it's stability Q nation that has one idea today and another tomorrow, that pursues ore soon drops from the ranks of first class power Why is little England so much more powerful than the physi- cally magnificent Mexico Is it not the stability of England which gives all others confidence in her? While Mexico, favored by nature with great wealth, an extent of coast line, good climate and fertile soil. lacks the stability which alone can make her a great nation. People who would in vest all their savings in United States government bonds would not invest a red cent in those of Macedonia What 1 makes the difference between our and the Balkans?
 A Stable Theology.
 So, too. a church must have stability ! It must not run after every new fad. ! The theology of the church makes for | stability. A church must believe some 1 thing and there must be something

ultimate in this belief Pickle church members gain no spiritual enlinence. Being Christian is not easy. But the valuable things are those that cost something.
 Safeguards to Faith.
 The biggest thinz: in the world is a mans faith. There are several safe guards which may be used in pfeserv- ing this faith and preventing insuabili- ty One is clear perception of the supreme importance of the Christian faith. To one who has this everything else is subordinate. God and what God stands for is permanent Noth- ing else is permanent. Those who built the pyramids would not recognize the Egypt of today The old Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam would find Broadway much changed. People are shifting who tie up to shifting things. Carlyle and Emerson tried tying up to philosophy and turned out agnostics. Others have made music, poetry. or oven pleasure, their god and all these have failed them at last.
 The One Great Steady Power.
 How may one have the conviction that he has this clear perception? He will feel the one -reat steady power which when once grasped makes ev- erything else subordinate. No man can serve two masters. Church mem bers are divided into standbys and but terf1ies. The trend today is towards butterflies The nation seems going pleasure mad. Moving pictures are not wrong in themselves, but too great indulgence in them destroys the power of deep and connected thinking. Many people get sidetracked Another safe guard is the strength of will that helps in attaining the Christian life. The idiot goes after every fresh gewkaw he sees and the drunkard is swept off his feet by his passions. Neither can at tain stability, It takes prayerful ex- ertion to resist evil and the willing
 Positive Resistance to Evil.
 The third safeguard is the concen- tration of our souls upon the attain ment of the Christian life. It is not enough to outwardly keep away from evil There must be positive resist ance to it. One must not be scatter brained. A boy studying compound fractions ought not to have his mind on second base, although second base is all right in it's place. A man must not only not go into the saloon but he mustn't be thinking about going It is being rather than doing. It is lively being good A man cannot be at a church service all the time, but he can be religious all the time-just as surely over the counter as in his pew at church. He may be as poor as Lazarus, but if he has these three to his faith God will call him a success and reserve for him the crown of life. May this be the future in store for each of us.
