Terse Comments on the Uniform
Prayer Meeting Topic of the Young
Peoples Societies-Christian En-
deavor, etc.-For June II: What
Is Reverence and Why Should We
Be Reverent?" Heb. 12:1S-29.
Every great soul is reverent. Only
the small and the ignorant are heed
less of proper claims upon mans
veneration. The braggart spirit. which
processes to have respect for nothing
and nobody, lacks the essential dis
position of the true thinker and broad
minded seeker after truth. A keen
and wide observer of men once said.
mo man who is without the spirit of
reverence can be truly great. He may
be brilliant and able but he cannot be
great" A never absent mark of a
large soul is it's regard for things
sacred.
We prove our own height by our
attitude toward things sacred.
He who makes the sacred common
robs God of His due.
We hold SO many meetings in
church nowadays, and have so many
religious organizations, that it is very
easy for us to forget that Gods house
is not like other buildings The sa-
credness of a church is a lesson which
we should often con. Loud speech
ana laughter, cdTGItss DcfldNiOT Ol any
kind, and public exercises of a secular
sort, are out of place in a building
dedicated to the worship of the Most
High. The house of God is holy.
Reverence is Gods right.
God asks much but He gives more.
Reverence is a root virtue of the
great.
God lifts up all who bow down be-
fore Him.
We can only honor God in His own
way. He has appointed the manner
in which He would have men show
Him reverence, and If we fail to heed
His word in this respect no sacrifice
of our own devising will be accepted
by Him. The first divine institution
was the Sabbath. Thru it God elect
ed to have men render Him obedi-
ence. He declared that He was to be
honored by the sacred observance of
this day. When we dishonor the Sab
bath we disho Tor God. An offense
against it is an offense against Him.
The glory of God is inseparably bound
up with His holy day.
Merely to be glad and grateful is
the best way to give God His due. He
cares more for the fragrance of
praiseful lives than for the odor of
costliest sacrifice.
Among the sacred things to be
reverenced we may count the ideals
and convictions of our hearts. Some
ines beautiful aspirations are seoffed
at by rude world. yet in truth they
+ are more worthy of respect than the
opinions of the world itself To our
own loftiest conceptions of life and
duty we should pay utmost Difference;
| they are divine promptings. and. fol-

NOT A PERMIT WAS ISSUED
Race to Pass Million Dollar Mark Was
Not Aided Yesterday

The fact that not one building per
NIT was issued yesterday has placed
no damper on the feelings OF the city
building inspector. who has predicted
telt the total for the present month
Wln exceed sl,000,O0O. Already the
total Is well above 100000 for
the month, and with three more days
to go there is every indication that
the 81 100000 will be exceeded.
A now angle, which threatens to
boost the months mark. is that of ad-
diuonal permits for buildings already
under construction. Yesterday after
noon II was announced that several of
the larger buildings, including the
Wright office and theatre at Third and
Cheyenne, might be enlarged, and that
an additional permit would add its
value to the large one already pIo-
cured for that structure.
While 1t is not known the exact
amount of work which will he ueces-
sary on the Mayo building, damaged
by fire, It is possible that a portion
of this permit will he taken out before
the end of the present month, and this
too will help boost the periods total
over the million mark"
