MORRISVILLE
CONGREGATIONAL Church

A large congregation listened with in
terest last Sunday to the discussion of
the theme THE Right Way with Bad
Man" in which the pastor analyzed the
story of Zachaeus, and Christ's treatment
of his case. The speaker considered that
such miracle as that wrought in the
case of Zachaeus, the miracle of turning
a publican into a public benefactor, a
selfish servant of Rome into tender
hearted servant of his felOwmep, of
melting hard heart into sympathes,
was greater miracle than that of turn
ing the water into wine. or placing the
lame man upon his feet, for this was a
miracle wrought iHthe subter soul-life.
Jesus appealed to Ztchaeus by Sc ting
him colloquiaizing with the soul voices
within, and when Zachaeus began to lis
ten to the voices of truth, he found new
paths of life in which to tread.
The next step taken by Jesus in the
woIk OF Zacchaeus' reform was to set him
in search of himself. The detective
stories in vogue today arouse our interest
by telling of the hunt which one makes
for another, but properly understood,
there are far greater complications and
deeper psychological interest in the
search of a man after himself. When
Zachaeus found himself. he found a de-
post of the Divine. for no man ever
comes to himself until he finds the hid
den life of God. Hence it might truly be
said that the irreligious man is going
about with the best part of him unused.
Having found himself, Jesus set Zaccha-
Gus after others. Lord, the half of my
goods, l will give to. the poor, and if |
have taken anything from any man by
false accusation L will restore unto him
fOurfold." His willingness to divide his
possessions and to make restitution was
proof OF the genuineness of his CONVEX
slon. We have our standards by which
TO measure in all the departments of life
We measure time by hours, electricity by
volts, distance by miles, so we must have
standard by which to measure the gen.
uIneness of mans religion. The stand
ard is not the number of prayers he re-
cites, or the number of Bible verses he
commits to memory, or the regularity
with which he attends tho services of
the sanctuary, but the answer to this
question, what does his religion prompt
our world is that there are so many in il
whose idea of religion is that of saving
their own souls from Hell-fre, whereas
the gospel of Jesus Christ teaches us that
1t is better to feed the hungry than starv.
ing ourselves to be fed, better to rescue
drowning one than drowning ourselves
to be rescued at his expense. better to be
consumed in the flames than that thru
our unfaithfulness lone of these little
ones should perish"

This event is getting interesting, and as
each man has won only one leg, new

ticallv an even chance with those who
have been shooting to win. G. A. Gile
made the record for the season on the

thrown. This shoot clearly illustrates
the handicap system. as Gile in the first
two strings had an allowance of 10 tar
gets by his handicap, but as nothing
higher than perfect score can be count
ed, eight of them were not counted in
his score. If they could have been al
lowed his score would have been 100, and
he would have won the shoot. The fol-
lowing is the score:-
