"SCAPEGOATs" WAS TOPIC
 FOR REV. DR. SLOCUM
Spoke at Shop Meeting at Crescent
 Arms Go.

Under the auspices of the Y IT. C. A. Rev. pr. Joel B. Slocum spoke to men of the Crescent Arms company Friday noon Scapegoats, was the subject he spoke on and it proved very helpful to the eager listeners. In part Dr. Slocum said:
 Under the old Mosaic regulation. two goats were selected. One was was sent away into the wilderness as bearer of the sins of the people. That animal was called the scapegoat. The term has become a very familiar one to people of the present day. By our present use of the word, we mean a person who, rightly or wrongly, is charged with responsibility for the sins of others.
 We are very fond of getting out from under obligations by rolling them over onto other people. That sort of thing got an early start, away back complained that the woman give him to eat So man has been blaming woman ever since. He thinks that she is always to blame for something.
 The Man Higher Up.
 Down in New York city. just as soon as an investigation into the morals of the police department was started, therearose a cry concerning a mys- teriOus being called the man higher up." Get after the man higher up. So far as l am aware, they are still after him. Dickens tells the story of two partners, each of whom always put the responsibility on the other That absent when he was most wanted
 year or two ago, a great many people were saying, Let George do it" That slang expression comes pret- ty near giving correct interpretation of the attitude of a large number of people in this world of ours. If there is anything to be done that involves manhood and courage and includes some risk, let George do it.
 But over against that suggestion. wish to place another, familiar quota ton of the times: Its up to you.' If anybody Is inclined to escape his duty with the complacent remark, Let George do it," 1t is your opportunity to say to him kindly but firmly, Its up to you"
 In all this, am thinking only about the things that are right and noble The other things-the things that are wrong, the things that are unjust, the things that harm-let George do those things if he must. Anyway, make sure that you do them not
 There is still another expression of the street that has been current for some time. I mean the snatch of the popular song, Every ybodys doing it'' As a matter of fact, everybody isn't uolng IT, Ana even IT every body was, that certainly would not be no reason why we should. Indeed, it would be one of the very best reasons in the world why we should not. That which the crowd is doing. is not necessarily the right thing. If the crowd should get the right kind of inspiration and get busy doing the things that will bring the largest blessing to our feI- low men. then, of course, we would want to join the crowd. But the crowd is a dangerous thing when it's activity is in the wrong direction,

goats, no one has ever made a sue cess out of that sort of thing. Each one of us must be responsible for his own actions. While we can and should help one another, there is a sense in which each person must bear his own burden. But One who was greater than man came to bear man s burden. He went into the wilderness of our life, carrying our sins. It is by His stripes that we are to be heal ed. He who was sinless was made sin for us, that we might not be wis tied with. the consequences of sin. 1 ask you men to strike hands with Him. It will be through His help that you will gain the victory over yourself and over every power that would tempt you to do wrong
