SERMON BY
REV. A. T0RB|E B: |

1. Tim. 4:s-.Godliness is profita-
BE for all things. having promise Of
the life which now is and Of that which
is to Gomez
Moses and the prophets Of Gods an
Gent people spoke to them chiefly OF
matters pertaining to the life on earth
and to the affairs around them rather
than about things remote from their
lives.
But evil doors and erratic thinkers
Of our day prefer to have preachers
discuss the widowed themes about the
kings Of Egypt who for milleniums
have been embalmed in their mummy
solitudes, and they do not like to have
us speak frankly of the practical at
fairs which concern our times, our To-
calities, and our own interests.
In the same way the ancient cor
rupters of morals and Of politics like
kings Ahab and Uzziah and like the
trucking priest Amaziah opposed the
preaching Of the prophets or preach
ers Of their day. Il. Kings 21:2O and
Amos 7:10-13.)
The presiding judge having told me
that he expected certain court cases to
be completed before Sunday, on Fri
day, Dec. 9Th. I posted in the court
house hall this notice: Lessons from
court cases here this week will be the
theme of Rev. Albert Torbet's dis
course in the Presbyterian church Sun

eral duties relative to the state and to
the prisoner.
But all wise people want.to consider
the outstanding lessons from such
cases of crime; for the ancient proverb
ought not to be applicable to any of
US, Though thou shouldest bray a
fool in mortar with a pestle along with
brushed grain, yet will not his foolish
ness depart from him." (Prov. 27:22)
Can it be possible that such crimes
i~mmoralities, and misdemeanors az
perplcx our courts ana defile our social
life should bring calamities upon indi|
viduals, break up families, and fiji
many hearts with grief, and yet we re-

7TfIlBlT DEVILS LAKHET WoIRIIlDlIlsS1IE ODNC1EAllN

Let us bessure TINT we
apostles idea.
What il goodness? ,Perhaps,anoth
ier uqestion might give e . valuable
hint. What is MANIsINEsS? The
Century Dictionary defines ! a.
Character and conduct worthy Of al
man." Then one would conclude that
GOODNESS would be character and;
conduct worthy Of God; and thessanne
dictionary defines It as Conformity
to the will and law Of God"
In John 1:1S we read, "No man
hath seen God at any time; the only
'begotten Son who is in the bosom Of
the Father, he hath declared him"
Christ is the manifestation, express
sion, exhibition, or embodiment Of
God in man, 90 that Jesus could say
truly, "He that hath zen me hath
seen the Father. {John 14::9).
Therefore to be cody is to be
Christlike, and this is-to be pure in.
emotions and in conduct, to be truthful
and sincere, to be ~reverent toward God
our Father and kind and loving to-
ward our brother man. to love truth
and Righteousness, and to seek to inn
part to men the saving knowledge Of
God and of his redeeming purposes
and love.
The apostle says that such GODLl-
NESS is profitable for this world and
for the next; but while all would adj
init that it is profitable for the life
to come, some would seem to question
its profitableness for all things in
this present life.
It ought to be easy to see that UN-
GOODNESS is disastrously unprofit-
able, for it is demonstrated before our
eyes at all times.
For instance, aggressive war is I'M
goodness; and the wal across the sea
has directly caused the death Of
enough people 50 that if they were
laid side by side, allowing two feet to
each one, they would make q row Of
corpses 2272 miles long; and if they
were corded up like wood % deep, 4
would be 100 miles long.
Does it need any argument to show
that this is IN ungodly and an unpro.
fitable use to make of the strongest
young men Of the warning nations?
And add to this the destruction Of the
labor Of centuries, the piling up Of
billions of debt for children's children
to, pay, the binding and Gripping q
millions, the forcing Of widows tear
land orphans cries, and the entailina
Of disease upon hapless millions Of
the inoffensive; and surely it vii;
seem to be the climax Of all that il
monstrously Improbable.
Drunkenness is one form OF ungod.
illness, and though the traffic whicl
causes drunkenness be less spectacu'
lar in its methods than is war. it il
scarcely less harmful; for it works it,
wreckage by day and by night through
r.. y41t. . - -" fALL - - NhI
Ethe, centuries.
This form Of ungodliness and Nm
manliness is economically, socially
and morally Improbable; and wis,
people should abolish it from the land
for it does US far more injury tina,
any foreign foe could ever do; an
against these many people and states
men are quick to make preparation.
Selfish greed is ungodliness, and i
causes all the strife. between employee
and employees; and sarelysthis is dis
