NECESSITY OF RELIGION
EXPLAINED BY PASTOR
Il Am Good Enough Already" Used
as Text by the Rev. DR.. c.
Everest Granger.

Those who claim to be as good as
many church members were told in
what ways they were not so good, in a
sermon last night by, the Rev. DR.. c.
Everest Granger, pastor of Gunton-Tem-
pie Memorial Presbyterian Church, Four
teenth and r Streets Northwest.
The sermon was entitled 81 Am Good
Enough Already" 1t is the first Of a
series of Sunday night lectures to be
delivered by the Rev. DR.. Granger on
Popular Excuses
After quoting from Proverbs l4:12,
There is a way which seemeth right
unto a man; but the end thereof are the
ways Of DEATH" DIR. Granger, in part,
said:
Here, indeed. is a popular excuse. II
is not SO often spoken, but it is acted
every day by millions.
Good enough already Who :old them
so? Surely not a Christian friend or
loved one, for they would know better,
for down deep-rooted in the soul of every
Christian is the consciousness, the strong
consciousness, the awful consciousness
of human guilt and sin.
Good enough aIreadt' Who told
them so? Surely not the Christian
church; surely not the Bible, for the
Bible is ever announcing the rebellion
of man and demanding repentance.
Surely il must have been either some
enemy to Christianity, to the church, to
the Bible, or to their own soul, or It
must be a base and shocking self-fiat-
tery.
= Society abounts with men and women
who give evidence of many worthy i'm.
pulses and virtues, but at the same time
who make no claim to religion Far be
it from me to disparage the good works
and noble purposes of these, but at the
same time must vehemently deplore
and as vehementiy descry the popular
mistake that a man, because of these
virtues and moral excelIencies, may ex-
pect salvation.
Jesus was asked on one occasion:
What is the first and great command
mentY Ills answer was positive and
clear: The first and great commandment
Is: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, mind, soul, and
strength; and the second is like unto il:
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
Eelf.' The moral man loves his neighbOr,
but forgets his Sod. He keeps the sec
0nd, but negledts the first, and yet he
claims, I am good enough
There are those who maintain that they
make no claims to personal goodness, but
they base their confidence upon, the inS
tgrity Of the race. They say, Are va
not God made men?"

on YOUR WAY TO
THE PANAMA CANAL
Start Any Time, Stay as Long As You
Wish, and Return at Your
Leisure.

All aboard! Get ready for a trip to the
great Panama Canal.
1t isn't boat trip. nor is it a trip by
train.
What then?
Why, nothing less than a step into the
front door Of Panama on through the
lsthmus by easy stages, and out into
the Pacific Ocean without even wetting
the sole of a shoe.
How's IL all done?
The Herald gives you the opportunity
through a beautiful big illustrated book
called Panama and the Canal in Pic
ture and Prose" This book tells you Of
the strange natives of the Canal Zone,
their characteristics and customs; also
their costumes, which are designed to
show more of their anatomy than is
shown even in polite circles of modern
society; II portrays the beauties of the
jungle, the floating islands, the flowers
and trees of this wonderful tropical
country. All of these features are de-
scribed in beautiful word pictures, inter-
which are made from water-color
studies and reproduced in splendid full
pages in their natural colorings.
This volume then becomes a source of
education TO every one who Possesses 1t.
Everybody should know of the wonders
Of the great canal and its surrounding
territory. The entire story is told in this
magnificent book.
The Herald has arranged to present
these volumes TO readers as explained in
the Panama certificate which is printed
daily in these columns. Six of these GER
tificates are required. Together with a
small expense amount to cover the mere
items of the cost Of distribution. No
such opportunity was ever before offered
to get a volume of this character for
only the amount of the expense involved
in the transaction.

NO MATCH At THIS

There doesn't appear to be much
likelihood of Luck McCarty, the now
recognized heavyweight, formerly of
this city, and Bombadier Wells. the
British champion, coming together in
the immediate future, u they may
get mixed up in July, although at
present negotiations are not progress
ing nicely.
Mccartney and Luck have been in
New York for several days dickering
for a match, for a bout between Nc
Carty and the big Englishman would
be most profitable.
In an interview at Chicago, recently,
Billy Mccartney, manager of the white
heavyweight champion declared that
McCarty was entitled to a rest and
would not defend his title until next
July, when he would most likely fig
ure in a bout with Bombadier Wells in
California. Mccartney added that Nc
Carly would be in New York in a short
time and might figure in a bout or two
but gave the impression hat Luther
the kind who might cause him trouble
That Wells is more likely to bother
McCarty than any of the other white
heavyweights is fully understood by
Mccartney, and when they come togeth-
err it will be over the twenty-roun6
route. Unless McCarty could stoI

A new firm
. FOR FARGO

Fargo may have another machinery
house. provided negotiations now go
ing on are successful.
Archibald L. Law, assistant sec
rotary and saIesmanager of the Hack
ney Auto Plow Co., of st. Paul, Mimi,
has been in the city for few days
looking over the ground with an idea
of establishing an agency and house
of the firm in the state of North
Dakota. The company at the present
time has 275 men working in the state
but they are doing business through
the st. Paul house, and it seems that
1t would be desirable to have such
a house right in North Dakota.
Grand Forks is after the company
to- open the house in that city while
the business men of Fargo are also
seeking to have the house located
here.
This is the pillow that is known as
the "one-man plow machine" and is
finding a big sale in the state.
Should the company locate its house
in the city it will mean that twenty
Ave more families will reside here, as
it will require that many statesmen
and people in the office force to
handle the business that would emf
nate from the establishment. Nego-
tiations are at present pending.
