DEFINES VALUE
OF MAN TO COD
Rev. FreShIey Shows Him Most
Valued of Creatures
on Earth.

From a material standpoint man is
little better than a sheep He lives
longer. has more power Of action, has
more capacity for pleasure. is more
clever and can make the sheen his
subject. on the other hand a sheep
has power, pains, cares. troubles and
sorrows Man is a mere speck in this
great universe" said Rev. w. ID
Freshley. pastor of the First Evan
gelical church Sunday evening in his
sermon on the subject The Value of
Man"
Man is the most valuable of all of
Gods creatures. The devil knows il.
that is why he is trying TO ruin man.
God knows il, that is why he paid
His value from a commercial stand
point is different from the sheep.
Some sheep sell for 5000 or $4,000
while some men can be bought for a
drink Of whisky on election day,
while others in our legislature can be
bought for $50 up TO $4,000 or more.
How much is that man worth is
often asked. The answer may be, he
is worth million or he isn't worth a
cent. We estimate man by what he
possesses and thus we often fail TO
get his true value. Mans real value
is not found by what he possesses. but
by what he is. Some men do not pos
sess a home and yet are worth more
to the world than others who may
possess many millions. Man is not
worth more than a sheep from COM
mercial standpoint, but from the
standpoint of character his value
may be infinite Mans value as
a clean citizen to his home, his
country and his God cannot be calcu-
lated in dollars.
From a divine standpoint. If we
could step up beside the Master who
died TO redeem man and ask how
much better is a man than a sheep,
His answer would be, He is infinitely
better, because he is a child Of God,
he is capable of fellowship with God,
he has an immortal life
I'VE speak of the stars, the earth,
the trees, the flowers, the fish, birds,
beasts as creatures and things of God
but when we speak Of man we say,
He is Gods child Man. has power
TO reason, love and act. He has a con-
science that tells him right from
wrong"

WILL GIVE REASONS TO
SHOW BIBLE is DIVINE
Rev. It. j. Parsons Begins Series of
Sermons on foundations
of Faith"

Rev. T. J. Parsons, pastor Of Quincy
Street Baptist church. began series
of Sunday evening addresses last
night on the general subject "Founda-
tons of the Faith" In these sermons,
Rev. Parsons expects to give his rea-
sons for believing that the Bible is
the divinely inspired word of God.
In speaking on the subject he said in
part:
"In considering the foundations Of
the Christian faith, the first matter
that must be settled is that regarding
the integrity and authority of the
scriptures. This is fundamental, be-
cause there is abroad a refined bias
phemy which praises the Bible and
laudS the character and teachings of
Jesus Christ Of Nazareth and, at the
same time, denies the truthfulness,
divine inspiration and authority Of the
former and the deityship and author
ity of the latter.
For some years there has been
prevalent and a destructive critical
teaching concerning the Bible, origi-
mating in universities then capturing
certain pulpits by its show of learn
ing, then invading the teaching force
of the public schools, and finally in
fecting the people in general. We are
told that the books of the Bible were
not written by the men whose names
they bear nor at the time stated, the
story of the creation in Genesis is a
myth, idealiZed history, or a religious
poem, that men descended Cor ascend
ed from apes or lower forms of Gre
alton, the patriarchs did not exist,
there were not II tribes of Israel,
Moses did not write the Pentateuch,
the tabernacle and priesthood were
unknown until after the exile of
Babylon. that no prophecy Of the Old
Testament has been fulfilled in the
New Testament that Jesus was fall
ible and enormously cherished the
current Jewish conception of the
Messianic hope, as did also His dis
ciples This and much more Of the
same import.
What does all this mean? Such
people do not believe that the Bible is
the Word of God, for their statements
strike at the very integrity Of the
Scripture record. Now listen. The
Word of God must be infallible.
emphasize the word must II is an
axiom that the word or revelation Of
an infallible God must be infalGble;
therefore, if the Bible is the Word OF
God, we have no infallible record of
authority in morals and religion and
the foundations of our faith are de-
Stroyed.
"A new alignment is inevitable. The
line Of demarkation between denomi-
nations is vanishing. but a new di-
vision is becoming apparent; between
those who accept the Bible as the di-
vinely inspired word Of God and those
who reject its integrity and authority.
There can be no trimming or COM
promising. but those who accept the
Bible must take a positive stand
against all who deny, divide. discredit
or distort the word of God. and must
frown upon all jokes. puns and in
nuendos against any part Of the Holy
Bible. II is Gods word, or il is not
Gods word, God willing, I expect TO
give you my reasons for believing the
Bible 10 be the divinely inspired of
God, infallible and authoritative"

CHRISTIAN LIFE
ONLY REAL ONE
Rev. a. f. Thomas Speaks on "Christ
the Life I'm Sermon on Gospel
OF St. John.

Rev. A. E. Thomas, pastor OF the
First Brethren church. delivered the
second OF his series of Sunday morn
ing sermons on the gospel Of st. John,
the subject of the sermon beipz
Christ the Life"
When a man is a Christian" said
Rev. Thomas. ''he is living witness,
not a dead one, Of the living Christ.
Jesus Christ was the creator of all
natural life. He was in the beginning
with the Father. as a coordinate part
Of the God Head. The Christ we wor-
ship is not a mere dead Jew, but a
Deity pre-existing and now existing.
Christ is not only a creator of life
but is also a recreator of life. The
changing of the water into wine at
Canaa is a symbol of the regenerating
power Of Jesus. The first wine used
at the feast is the natural life of man.
This wine is exhausted, this natural
life plays out and falls us at the crit
ical moment Then Christ steps in
and 'pours out the new life the 'di-
vine spirit Of Jesus in man The
best wine is the last after all.
Christian life is the only real and
worth while life after all. Christ
changes us from water into wine by
a process of regeneration He is the
Author of regeneration in our lives.
Christ is the very necessity for the
sustenance of our souls. We cannot
do without bread and we must have
Jesus in our spiritual lives. He ere
ates. gives the new birth and makes
us grow.
1.-The Author Of eternal life is He.
We are living that life now by being
in communication with God. Our
bodies are not us, they perish, we live.
We are commanded to present them
as a living sacrifice. We ought there
fore to have great regard for our
bodies, the physical temples Of our
souls. Jesus is the Master Artist who
perfects the picture, which we have
but crudely painted and makes a
beautiful work of art. We can tell,
oftentimes, from the excellence of the
production that the hand of the Mas
ter had been upon il. The only true
convert is the Christ-touched convert
not the preachers or a church con-
vert.
Christ is the resurrection life-the
life beyond. He gives us hope Of
something better than we now ex-
perience. The greatest incentive in
my pastoral career is that l want to
is to believe only in Him and by be-
lieving in Him have life through His
name"

COMMUNION Al
ST. PAUL'S M. E.
Rev. Gardiner Delivers Interesting
Sermon on Desire to Know
Great Men of World.

Communion service was held at st.
PauTs Memorial Methodist Episcopal
church yesterday morning. The pas
tor, Rev. James L. Gardiner. D. D..
was assisted in the administration of
the Sacrament by Rev. NJ. c. Beale.
DR.. Gardiner preached brief sermon
on the subject. Intimacy With Cod
81 have often thought that would
liked to have had an intimate ac-
quaintance with some Of the great
men OF the world. 1 would liked to
have known Abraham, the friend of
GOO, the man who went out into a
country at the command Of God. not
knowing whittier he went, only that
God went with him.
4 would liked to have known
HOSES, the shepherd man, whom
called to leave his father-in-law's
focks and become the leader of his
people-MOses, the ma nof God who
endured as seeing Him who was in
visi ble-Moses, who having seen God
in the burning bush, never once fall
tered in the great task of leading his
people toward the land of promise.
II would liked TO have known Mar
tin Luther, the great reformer--
Luther, the little German monk, who
having had a vision of God shook all
Europe by his teaching and preaching
Of the gospel / would liked to have
known Lincoln. the man with a great
heart and who believed and taught
that in all the realm Of thought there
was nothing greater or grander than
that OF liberty-liberty for the black
man as we'll as the white.
II would have counted 1t a great
honor TO have companioned with
these men but how much greater
is it to have the honor of being a
friend, a companion OF the good and
great God. II may be that few OF
US have had the privilege or ever Will
have OF an intimacy with the great
men and women OF the world-but
blessed be the name OF God we all
through Jesus Christ may be on in
innate terms with our Father in
heaven.
Now who are the confdants OF
God? Who are the folks who have
an intimate acquaintance with the Di-
vine? Who are the friends OF Je-
hovah? I will tell you. They are
those who fear Him. The pSalmist
SAYS in our text, The secret of the
Lord is with them that fear Him..
Remember God selects His particular
friends because Of their character. He
selects them for what thew are. He
chooses them because they have a
10 companion Him. Gods
intimates are never uniustly chosen.
They are chosen because, in their
hearts dwell the love and fear OF
God"

DWELLS ON PEACE LEFT
TO WORLD BY CHRIST
Rev. j. 5. Burns Declares It Most
Wonderful OF Bequests
to Mankind.

1--WE have heard of people bequeath-
ing their wealth or property to their
relatives. or friends, or certain causes
at their death. When Christ came to
die he had no worldly possessions TO
bequeath to His followers" said Rev.
John $. Burns, pastor of the Trinity
Presbyterian church. Sunday morning
in his sermon on the subject Peace"
Continuing. he said:
But he had what was worth more
than money or property. He had what
mankind needed far more than these.
He had what his followers needed
more than wealth He was the
wealthy possessor OF a profound
peace He said a little while before
His death, Peace leave with you;
my own peace I give 20 you. II is not
as the world gives its greetings that I
give you peace. Let not your hearts
be troubled or dismayed"
He was known as the Prince OF
Peace the one TO guide our feet into
the way OF peace and at Hts birth

was ever saying to the sick, the
troubled, the demon possessed. the
sinful and the perpiexed. Go in peace.
He would quiet mans sould as He
Quieted the storm tossed sea OF CALI
lee, saying peace be still He is never
seen 10 be disturbed or in any way
anxious. nervous or unpeaceful. Even
when placed in a tight place by the
angry opponents and questiOners. He
is not seen at all TO be disturbed. And
death which disturbed us most is en-
tered into by Him in perfect COM
posture and on rising the third day we
hear Him saying 20 the frightened
disciples. Peace be unto you. Such
is the profound peace. wonderful
peace which belonged 10 the Christ.
No wonder He could and can give
peace to the sinful. There is nothing
that harnesses US more or gives US more
trouble than sin. IT keeps Us IN hot
water all the time. II anyone says
anything about our sin. we immedi-
Rteiy think they mean us. Everyone

VON. EAIMICH.

: e
 Gen. Otto von Emmfch, the con queror of Liege, who led the way for the German army in it's invasion of Belgium, is sixty-sfx years old. When the Belgians were making their des- perate and unexpected resistance at Liege. it was reported that Gen. von Emmich, disheartened and fearing the wrath of the Kaiser, had committed suicide. His obituary notices were published in the English and Aneri- can press, but the German leader could say, like Mark Twain, that his death was greatly exaggerated.'' It has since developed that Gen. von Emnich tarried only a day and a half at Liege, and then, leaving the artillery to cope with the forts, pushed on with Athe majority of his men in the direction of Namur. La ter Gen. von Enmich was heard of at Mons, where he directed the at tack on the gallant little body of Eng lishmen who opposed the German ad- vance at that point. Since then the censor has permitted little news o1 the leader of the German advance guard to leak through. Gen. von Emnicl1 is brief of stature, stock o1 build, with a stubby mustache an6 iron gray hair. His forid face is
 said to year a. perpetual smile. He i-is ldescribed by American cores pondents as the most popular com. mander in the German army. and i is said that his men are unusually de voted to him. When the troops en tered Lege, which fell long before
 the devoted Belgians gave up th' forts, Gen. yon Enmich is said tt
 have led the attack. Although wei along in years, he prefers the hors' to the automobile, although the latte
 is favored by a majority of. the Ger man officers Gen. von Emmich ha-
 been a soldier all his life. and he is
 warrior of the old school, a persona leader of men rather than a swivel | chair strategist.

ST. PETERSBURG

St. Petersburg. the modern capital of Russia, now rechristened Petro- grad, was founded in 1703 by Peter the Great, who died 19O years ago to- day, Feb. 8, 1725. Peter first built a small hut for himself and a few wooden novels. His choice of a new capital was generally condemned, and the majority of the nobles preferred that Moscow should remain the seat of government. Peter was determin- ed in his course, however, and in I'll he laid. with his own hands, the foundation of his palace, which was built of brick. Peter, since we'll named f'the Great" was an extraor- dinary character. Russfa's rise to great world power was due to his genius. Says VoItaire: 'He gave a polish to his people, and was himself a savage; he taught then the art of war, of which he himself was ignor- ant; from the sight of a. small boat on the river Moskwa he erected a powerful fleet, made himself an ex- pert and active shipwrigat, sailor, pill ot, and commander, he changed the manners, customs and laws of the Russians; and lives in their memory as the father of his country
