 CODL|NESS, |s TEXT

Morning sermon delivered by Ed IT J. F. Yates at the ReoI eanized Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Three leading statements of Scrip ture were used as a test. First: Great is the mystery Of Godliness." l Tim: 3: l6.
 In this connection the speaker said Godiiness iS mystery to man be- cause man is finite ard God ls in finite; but the divine arrnag gement for mans growth in grace and in q Knowledge of the truth. Is a plan whereby all mysteries necessary Tor man to know, may be unraveled ! By such growth men may become ! like Him to the extent that they shall at last be fitted to dwell in the king i dom of God. such growth in grace cOmpl;shed through spiritual processes. auc herein Is touched the mystery of Go0liness. Man has a spirit within. capahle oI being instructed in spiritual things and any spirit capable of in structing must be an intelligent entity
 Such a good spirit has always been sent from God to help and bless and teach those wfo would meet God 5 conditions Of such spiritual service.
 We have record of such spiritual instruo tions being given, way back in Old Testament times, as for example n the following. Thou gayest thy good spirit to instruct" Neh. 9: 20.
 Making ourselves master of spiritual mysteries unto salvation through ohe- dience to Gospel law invOlves the principle of continuous revelation through the spirit of inspiration. 70 the spirit of man.
 This truth is clearly stated in suea scripture as the following. But there is a spirit in man and the inspiration If the Almighty giveth them under standing" Job. g. Pertinent to this subject, the speaker rendered the following poem, CT which Elder Ya.es is the author
 The merit of the poem speaks for itself

 Too deep for external measures 4 store for the rarest of treasures. Place of ;he Spirits Ken.
 Radiant life within this chamber All aglow. waneth not when ear,h's life cmbe, Burneth low. . The outward life of such besetting. Woven in the Spirits netting n bright designs of noble setting,
 With grace SO fair.
 And deeds of all the richcr castins which gre born for everlasting. 5 Baser things before them blasting Are shapen there.
