MEN ARE FALSE PHILOSOPHERS
SAYS ELDER YATES IN SERMON

Of God and creation as mere myth
is the kind of science or philosophy
which peers down the cellar, and
squints toward the back yard of Gods
great universe and. failing to find him,
comes back to report that he isn't
there; or that if he is there he is a
something so diffused through every
thing as to be very specific nothing.
Such is the finished wisdom of some
science, and the devil is pleased that
some churches endorse the same folly.
God Everywhere, Literally?
Thing of God being in the brothel in
the saloon, and in every place of filth
literally; his immediate presence would
be in hell as much as in heaven. The
devil as the opposite power and per-
sonality. would by the same falacious
principle be everywhere, and heaven
by his presence would, after all. be part
hell.
Those who oppose the fact OF the one
living personal God who is to be re-
vealed TO all in due time, may hurl
their ridicule. and continue to Jest con-
corning the probable color of his eyes
the quality of the hair of his head. and
the amount of his averdupois, but their
own position is the very height of in
consistency and the legitimate target

PRACTICAL CHRIS T|AN|TY AS

BY the bitterness of resentment? BY
the scorn of pride? BY the fury of
will power? All of these methods are
the ways of human frailty; they will
but lead him into sorrow, or regret,
or likely enough sickness. The Chris
tian way is. while not ignoring the
error but having recognized it as
such. to reduce it through the I'M
Outstanding of principle to its ma
tive nothingness. If good be infinite,
then good is all that really can be
known by man. Evil in any form,
malice included, is false belief of
the human mind that good is not
infinite. But false belief is pre-
cisely what it is-nothing. Through
reasoning thus from an absolutely
true basis. the belief in malice is de
stroyed and ne who would be
malicious is blessed through the
Christians perception of truth.
II is the same with the belief called
sickness. Good, which is infinite, has
no inharmony within its perfect &C
tivitN Love which is omnipresent
and Is the one and only cause never
created anything but what brings
happiness and peace and joy to all
mankind. Sickness is a false belief
arising from the misunderstanding
that matter is causative. whereas mat
ter is the suppostitious counterfeit
of some idea ~ mind The belief
must therefore he met by denying its
reality in The absolute sense: and the
Christian is putting his spiritual I'M
derstanding into practice when he
does so and thereby heals the sick.
