INCIDENCE ONE Of
THE WORST SINS
Worry is Another Great Ameri-
can Fault Says Rev. Henry
|. DaviS-Pat EmmonS
Speaks at Evening Service.

Incidence. worry and the disregard
OF duty were cited by Rev. Henry L.
Davis as the three moths which de-
strOy human usefulness, I'm his Sun
day morning sermon at the First NJ.
z. church, in speaking on the subject
"Moth-eaten Garments"
There are other sins" said the
speaker, besides those recognized by
good society and those outlawed by
legislation. There are sins which, like
the moth, are silent and work in the
dark, yet which cut and destroy.
"One OF the greatest of these is the
sin OF Incidence. This is the mother
OF a thousand destroying sins. Ii is
the precursor OF physical, mental and
intellectual death. John Wesley is
worthy type OF Methodist. His mot
to, Always in haste; never in a hurry
made il possible for him to preach
on an average of 10 sermons a week
for over 40 years. He died at SS, an
example OF the preserving power Of
work.
THE sin of worry is another moth
which is slowly cutting the founda-
ton from beneath human society.
This is the great American sin. Our
cry against intemperance and the use
CT poisonous drugs because they shat
ter the nervous system is just. But
where these wreck the nerves of a
thousand, worry wrecks the nerves Of
tens of thousands.
1.-The third silent sin which destroys
like the moth is the ceaseless disre-
garding of the calls Of duty and the
voice of conscience. This does not
destroy the body but what is worse, it
murders the higher self-the soul.
I'm the final Judgment many will
be rejected by the Great Judge not
because they committed the greater
sins but because the garments Of
character were eaten by the moth of
the lesser sins, because they were not
faithful in that which was least"
At the evening service, Pat En-
mons told his life story. An excep-
tiOnally large congregation attended
the meeting.

OF OUR SALVATION
social Revolution Would Follow if
People Followed Their COnvic-
tons, Says Minister

That a social revolution would re-
suit if every Christian would persist
entity witness 10 the fact of salyst.on
end il unconverted people would fol-
low their convictions regarding
Christianity, was the prediction Of
Rev. Thomas j. Parsons in mis- sermon
at the Quincy Street Baptist church
Sunday evening.
Just two things" he said. would
produce a revolution in society. First,
IL Christian people would persistently

through faith in Jesus Christ. Usually
If a man has a good thing, he wants
TO make it known and every new
remedy and panacea is announced IN
black .etter type on the first page.
When il comes to salvation we be-
come reticent and speak in whispers,
il the Christian religion had been less
than divine, its professed friends
would have strangled il to death Oe-
fore now. said "A business man in
New York, referring TO the noise made
by the salvatiOnists, If / believed as
they do. / would make a bigger rack
TT than they Noise isn't always an
evidence of grace. neither is silence.
and very few people are being talked
to death on the subject of religion.
Second. if uncOnverted people
would follow their convictions re-
garding the gospel of Jesus Christ it
would greatly help in bringing about
a social revolution. There are many
people, no doubt. who readily assent
tO the fact of Christianity and even

trines of faith: they believe IN church
es and Bible schools and missions,

given 10 every honest sceptic. Prof.
James of Harvard investigated spir-
ism for . years and then confessed
that he was no further advanced in It
than at the beginning. because there
are so many possible sources of decep-
ton.

are no dark room, spooky, Elusive,
