SUNDAY MORNING SERMON.

 an altar with this inscription: To the unknown God Whom therefore ye ignoranty worship Him declare unto you."-Acts 17:22.
 Paul. the greatest preacher and orator the world ha: known, pronounced the words above to the o Athens when he upon the hill of the gods above their city address those assembled there And his Idence composed the main thinkers statesmen poets philosophers, painters, the of the learning of the world of that period and egosts all of them
 These Athenans worshipped many gods. and for feal they had missed deity in their devotons they had up ah altar to unknown God. Paul knew his audi ence and with the genius of the orator he seized hold of their rich imagination sentiment by declar ing his God be their very unknown God" And result his immortal sermon that day the Christian church founded Athens to this time.
 All of us worship an unknown God" And by our worship we are known of men and angels No matter how secret about it. or how careful or how eau tious how circumspect this worship is made known through daily acts and lives
 What god do you worship? You may profess the God hgh but what god do you worship Is it the god of money of success. of fame of seshness, of vanity subterfuge licentousness? We all worship secret altar made of earthly things We raise to heaven and in loud voice, but the earth claims and holds too much of our devotion
 Upon what your hopes most centered this day house? car? A trip to the coast? A promotion? great speech? successful business deal? gown? A party or reception? Surely it these And all perfectly natural and human ambitions. They offer happiness gaety amusement pleasure. They all earthly goals placed before by the sweat
 
 from the Garden.
 But how did you gain them? Did you joste brother? Did bring to sisters heart? Did you play fair? Did you keep your hands clean and your heart kind and soul sincere all along the way? Are humble now that you have reached the goal?
 If not you paid too much for your place in the sun of human hopes come true
 What do you worship? If you bow before the altar of Mammon, will come in your every day by day. It will be stamped upon face for one to read It will show in your eyes in bearing, in your walk.
 If you bow before the altar of pride you must rattle his chains when you walk The gods of sefshness and crooked dealing and cruelty and i'll temper and cowardice all demand that you their livery in the light of heaven.
 It is not the head bent low that makes the worship per- it the spirit that bends that head The man that bows with unsefsh petition in his heart and upon his lips will some day the scriptures be in earth He is the real prince of the House or Happiness and Golden Hearts The man with the kind word and pleasant smile and the helping hand and the gentle voice; as, he is worshpper of the True God him Paul, the aposte would declare, in voice that might well reach to heaven. Whom therefore ye gnorantly worship, Him declare unto you"
 In other words each of us unconsciously, day by day. by and words and thoughts and our associations and our impulses and emotions, either worship the Lord High Satan in the depths of the pit.
