Those who failed to hear Rev. W. l Garnet Acorn, pastor ol the First l Christian church preach last night on The Loyaltes Of Life" missed one of the best sermons he has delivered during Inc present big revival meet ngs. lt was discourse that very 1 business and professional man could ply and gain immeasurably by SO doing for it was receipt for success
 that was laid down in logical and eIo- ! quent Interpretation of the Scrip lures.
 The pastor took his text rom tht fortysecoud chapter of Genesis, the eleventh verse, We are all one mans sons. We are true men" and it was the latter part of the Scripture which
 is stated m connection with the cap mre of Joseph that the pastor fea- tured
 lie states he believed that every man who became great did so because
 ol some institution .finci2le CT per son 10 whom his soul was welded and
 that any one of such thines acted as an auchorage 10 his soul true

 "The world today is asking for biz
 men declared Rev Mcon "lt is
 asking for men of fixed good pur poses, fol men of layalty and for true men. It is the duty of the Bible class, Of the church and oi the insti- | tutions of learning 10 give to the ! world men of that character and 1 whom any such institution fails to do that it is making a failure distinctive. \ ly in dife. One Of Chrst's mission
 on earth vas 10 make men IiEe Him. ! You know we don't have to |o across the seas no -a-days for 'Ae ! no accounts. or course, over there they have their Counts 10 be sure. and some of them are no account, but | here in the churches, in the cities We ! have the no accounts There arc 1 men and women in the world today I whose life spells nothing and they l are worth nothing to community Tor 1 the reason that they are not linked l up with some big project"
 l The pastor then presented a bre! ] review Of the giants he he term
 ed them found in the Scriptures and
 he declared there was no reason why
 the same things that made men great -' III those days would not be o erativc for their benefit today, provided those h things were woven into ones life d tod9y.
 "ro be a really true man said Rev IT. Acorn" a man must first of all be C. true to his family There is need n today for the cultivation or family tz pride If there is one thing in Chris 'h tianity worth possessing and keeping h pure and wholesome it is the family 'n namo some one has said that man s- in a sense stands alone, and that is le true in a measure, but man today ra needs to be helped and propped up by oi good influence of good family name $ You know God, when He began His
 work. started to build a family and
 he called out Abraham, and when He
 gave notice that He would give the
 world a Messiah He gave that family -l the protection oI His arm, which en- pr circled it. Being loyal to your family ol can only he made possible when a O. man has reached the maturity and is o' loyal to his parents. | think the VI mcducst and most worthless, man on ear.h is one who ceases 10 be loyal re tc his old father and mother" M It was at this point that Rev Al ,y corn delivered a most eloquent S' ellogy to parents and pictured the le love they have for their children l "I hope the day will never come ' 79 he said. when children will cease tC

 to his parents
 '" Every true man deserves to he '7 loyal to the partner he selects in life 'N and l believe that part of the mar raiee ceremony. where it calls u on

 for life is as much part of the Cos pei, and as true and rings as clear as
 any message of Jesus. Some think o that marriage is a thing to be treated -, lightly, to be entered into lightly and
 to be broken easily but let me tell you
 it is a most sacred thing
 7s To-day we are seeking to break the 70 marriage vows because men are find
