MODERN WOODMEN'S
AND ROYAL NEIGHBORS
MEMORIAL SERVICE
Large Attendance at Penney Memo
rial Church Sunday Evening"
Rev. Mr.. Wood Gives Memorial
Sermon

Very impressive was the Modern
Woodmen's and the ROYAL Neigh
bors' Of America annual memorial
service which was held with a
large attendance OF members and
friends Of the order on Sunday ev-
ening at the Penney Memorial
church. Rev. William r. Wood de-
livered the sermon, taking for his
text the question found in James
4:I4, what is your life" He
spoke IN part as follows
Two thoughts at once leap out
from this question: First Life-this
mortal life--is brief. This is not
merely a poetic fancy: it is not the
inoral1st'S sigh or the preachers
homily. 1t Is stern inevitable. ire
mcndous fact OF experience. 1t i a
universal fact that this mortal life
IS brlef. 1t is span a vapor,' "a
shadow. that appeareth for little
time and then vanisheth away
The second thought is that life is
IS uncertain as ii is brief We can
not count on its continuance We
know not what day may bring
forth. This mortal lie Of ours may
end tomorrow, tonight. this very
hour. At any instant the heart may
stop, the breath cease and the soul
pass into eternity.
Ibis question is important because
OF the value of life. The value OF
life may be deduced from its origin.
The value Of life is Indicated by the
universal belief that it is the SUI
preme Earthly Treasure.
The importance OF the question
before US is further indicated bv the
relation between lie and influence.
influence is exactly like the liic
from which 1t eminates. in respect 10
its character, but it is more active
than any conscious activity and far
more enduring than this mortal lie
And the Importance OF this ques-
ton also appears from the relation
between lite and destiny. Contra
ry TO what has been taught b. many
God does not appoint 10 any man
his destiny. Every man determines
that for himself.
What is your lie in respect to its
obJect' Every life must have an
object If it is to amount TO anvtb;na
What is your life in respect to its
CHARACTER This is determined bv
LIES object. Only let us choose a.,
object that is worthy and we ned
not worry about our character.
FINALLY, we must face the ones.
