sonalitleS of the individual being "The higher self craves for the spiritual and strives for those things which are ideal. The lower self, being associat- ed with the flesh and the world, seeks only those things that satisfy the de- sires, or. appetites in this life. Thus man is continually at cross purposes with himself, one side trying to achieve goodness and the other side seeking that which is not good That is why the Psalmist sang, Unite Oh Lord, My Heart It is not possible for any man to be perfect, but every man can strive to make the good that is within him predominate. That is the great purpose of Christianity-to build characters and unify personali- ties
 Amongst you there is the man who may be counted as a good neighbor, because he is kind to and considerate of those about him, but it may be that he is not a good citizen because his business methods are not honest; there are amongst you the man who IS regarded as a good husband, be- family, but it may be that man is not a good neighbor because he does not obey the law. Each one of these per. sonalitieS may be represented by a circle and the circles may be added to until the list of individual virtues is 1 o1y !, fnA 4l1 could be drawn great circle, repre- senting the Christian character, union of all the virtues, the aim and object of religion. The man who places himself in the circle of Christianity will strive to be good in all things, and while a good Christian he also will be q good neighbor, a good citizen, good public official and a good husband"
 That was the kind of a sermon the bishop preached, and the thread of his discourse hung together like love story. He told in a plain, earnest way how character may be developed by thinking about, looking at and hearing only that which is good, and how the forces of good when they are develop ed, may master the evil inclinations Love, he said, is the greatest unifier. Man should love intensely his God, his church, his country, his family, his neighbor, his fellow man and all that is good. Love is a greater word than duty. It is the greatest word in the English language.
 Every little thing that we see or hear makes an impression upon our minds and shapes our personalities. We may not be conscious of these im- pressions, nor may their presence be manifested, but they are there and they play a part in the moulding of every character If we do only that which is good, think only about that which is good, and, as far as possible, see and hear only that which is good. our characters are bound to be good and unified to the one great purpose of serving Christianity, which stands for everything that is good.
 And one likes tneway Bishop Mouzon pronounces the amen of his prayer and benediction. There is an empha- sis to the last syllable of the little word that wakes you up and reminds you there has just been finished a prayer and a sermon A way back wonder somewhere there was an amen corner Methodist who occasionally in- terjected "a-mens" of the bishops kind into the middle of the pastors invoca- tions, but lately it seem that it nas been the fashion of preachers to speak the final word in whisper, or omit it altogether. There is strength and freshness about sermons like the enc Bishop Mouzon preached in Pulaski Heights Sunday night. They set men to thinking and uplift the mind.
