LENTEN SPEAKER PLEADS
AGAINST NARROWNESS
Rev. Philip steinmetz, Jr., breaches
Lenten Sermon

A plea to break away from the narrow.
ness and selnshness of our lives was made
by the Rev. Philip steinmetz, Jr., head.
master Of the Episcopal Academy, at the
MONDAY Lenten services today in St Ste
phens Episcopal Church, 10th street
above Chestnut "Our lives are too small,
too narrow, too selfish" he said. 1--WE have
no right to go out of the world like a nail
dropped by carpenter-not worth his
while to stoop and pick it up. We should
go as the sun sets, in the full glory of
day we'll spent and in the promise Of
power and work yet to be done"
The power and patience of God was the
topic discussed by Mr. Steinmetz.
"The vessel that he rladc of clay was
marred in the hand of the potter so he
made It again another vessel" Jeremiah,
xviii ~, was the text used by Mr. Stein
metz.
LET us learn the lesson that all great
souls have learned" said Mr. Steinmetz,
the lesson that all great souls teach us,
that in the commonplace, so-called, lies
the possibility of revelation from God.
The prophet learned from the daily task
of the potter the great lesson Of Gods con-
troll Of His people"
