Register your convictions in the light of honest, bipartisan reflection, and be a brother-man to the one that does not vote as you.'
 These were the concluding words of a strong sermon preached yesterday morn ing by the Rev. Robert U. Simpson, pas tor of the First Christian church.
 He stated the church made con- tribution of inestimable worth to the law abiding of community, and that the minister is a contributor to good citi- zenship who promotes reverence for cd and man, hearthstone and flag, and self and neighbor. Mir. Simpson said in part:
 Let them make me a sanctuary, that may dwell among them'-Ex. 25:s. That was Gods polite way of stating nations need. God knew that all the written laws Moses could put on tables of stone could not make people good. unless reverence was rooted in their hearts. Patriotism issues from the heart in thousand acts of reverence for the flag, but it cannot be made to flow from without into the heart by an enforced act of respect.
 Righteousness is ont produced by ex- ternal force but inner forces. You can not chisel out good heart by rough, un- feeling methods. Folks are nurtured into good beings not nagged into being good. When you try to get goodness by the hammer and chisel process, you get the form of goodness, sometimes, but never real goodness; as the sculptor by the chisellng process gets the form of liv- ing creature but not living creature. Reverence underlies righteousness.

Be Brother-Man 10 One Who Does Not Vote As You Do"
Pastor of Christian Church Breaches Strong Sermon Reverence of Sunday-Imperialism That Would Drag
 aMan in Chains to House of Worship Is Deplored

l 'sThe church makes a contribution of-in- estimable worth to the law abiding of community in it's cultivation of reverence, and the minister is a contributor to good citizenship who helps to keep aglow i'll human hearts reverence for God and man. hearthstone and flag, self and neighbor, duty and task. The worth to communi- ty of a well-kept Sunday is all the worth of developed reverence.
 "The Lords day, which we as Christia celebrate, is set apart by custom re- corded in the history of the apostolic church rather than a commandment in- corporated in it's ordinances; but it is haIlowed by the resurrection of the Lord and by Pentecost, the birthday of the Christian church. A day with such coronet upon it's brow ought to have its garments kept as free from stain as the followers of the Lord can keep them; but in this day we ought not to see an inn perialism of the Almighty that would drag a man bound in the chains of fear to house of worship, nor mere 1nStltu- ton that challenges our defense of it's rights; but the invitation of our God to draw near to Him, an exhortation of the Father to give the higher emotions a chance at heavens best sunlight and rev. ererce a chance to take deeper root in our life. You cannot be reverent on the most sacred of days, remember, unless you do good unto others
 Referring specifically to the vote on the Sunday movies MT. Simpson said; "I am not in harmony with any sugges- tion of~a limited suffrage on a sectarian basis, and 1 appeal to you not to make this test of Christian fellowship, nor test of neighborllness and friendship. Register your convictions in the light ot honest, bipartisan reflection and be a brother-man to the one who does not vote as you do
