No one CARES"
CAUSES TRAGEDIES
Rev. George w. Allison Says
Christians Should Help
Souls of Others.

"One Of the most common rea-
sons for either taking ones life or
throwing it away in blacklist sin is
no one cares. Every time these
words are sincerely spoken they rep.
resent "A tragedy. because If anyone
cared they failed 20 make their feel
ing known. And the tragedy Is made
ali the more pitiable for the reason
that sometimes il seems to be true,
as the ancient Psalmist said No
man careth for my soulv SO many
uncaredfOr souls are cursed by our
neglect; shall We escape without Sc
riOus responsibility This was the
challenge 20 express a brotherhood
OF humanity by Rev George William
Allison in the sermon at Hope Pres
byetTian church last evening, on the
these "A Care for Souls
Who has not seen the cruelty Of
indifference TO others cure d life
When another has been so kind and
courteous TO us. is il not deeply un-
grateful to give him no expression
or kindness merely because ne may

wealth. is a public servant, lives in

NAL in some instances. This con-
slant Indifference to ones soul fire.
cuently makes one resentful TO all
society and leads To crime and occa-
siOnally TO suicide because NOBODY
cares. These are but some OF the
evils resulting from a failure TO care
tor the souls of men.
But in order TO care for the souls
Of others. we must put a proper
value upon them. We must feel that
a single human soul Is a priceless
treasure, for which no amount OF
money is an adequate exchange. And
we must feel too that without that
soul knowing that it is cared for il is
exposed TO alarming dangers. In
deed we should always be watchful
of every opportunity to stimulate
soul betteTment in others. We
should not only do them harm; we
should do them good! And espe-
cially as Christians is il incumbent
upon Us 10 MAKE StIlOuS persistent
effort TO bring them TO a saving
knowledge OF Jesus Christ.
who ought TO care for my soul
does one ask If the boy that asks
that question is here, let me answer
that there is a teacher of a Bible
class who ought 10 care. He Oughi
to care If you are member OF his
class; he ought TO care still more ii
YOU are a member of no class. Your
fathers and mothers ought 10 be eX-
cedingIy sOlicitous for the precious
souls of your little children, and pre-
sent them 10 Jesus in your daily
prayer. Every member and official
of the church ought to care for ev-
cry soul in the entire parish and by
prayer and personal visitation seek
earnestly to save them. And every
man ought surely care for mis- OWL
soul: he ought 20 care enough &c
give il the very best sOul-cultuTe POS
sible. No man can honestly say, nc
man careth for my soul Jesu,
Christ cares for every soul-ever
those that have been stained and
smirched by sin. He came TO seek
and to save that which was lost. and
no man can escape from His love.

HOME IS ONE Of
WORLD s FORCES
Church, Bible and Personality
Are Others, Rev. James L.
Gardiner Says.

The four great forces OF civiliza-
ton are the home. the church. the
Bible and human personality. &C
cording 20 Rev. Dr. James Z. Gardi-
ner. pastor Of St Paurs Methodist
Episcopal church in rs sermon
Sunday morning, on the subject Of
The -Four Great Forces Of Civili-
Zation"
The first force 7 shall mention is
that OF the home The home is a
divine Institution and the first that
God made. In all ages OF the world
the home has exercised a great
power in moulding the thought and
civilization OF mankind. The mea-
sure OF the civilization Of any ma
ton IS not 10 be found in its great
buildings, in its Libraries, or in its
works OF art but in its homes. That
is the test. When the home life
goes down the nation goes down.
The second force To which 7
would call your attention is the
church. During the 10 centuries
that have come and gone since the
church was established IL has done
at least three things II has ever
kept people mindful of the great
wact Of God.
The third force / would name is
the Bible II is the best book on re-
ligion in the world so better book
can ever be written until a better
life than that Of Christ be lived and
this We know TO e impossible. Mea-
sured by its influence on language
and literature. measured By its i'm
hUence on art and music measured
by its influence on democracy and
everything else that goes TO make
the best kind Of civilization. the
Bible is the greatest book in the
world.
The fourth force 1 would men
ton Is that OF human personality
There is no one of Use who can tell
how much we owe 20 the influence
