MINISTER EXPLAINS
FOUR STRINGS IN
MAKE UP OF MAN

Tuning to the Infinite" was the
subject of the sermon delivered by
DR.. House Wednesday afternoon at
the First Methodist church. Taking
an illustration of the four strinss Of
violin, G.. ID. A. and e. he showed
that each person has these four
strings in them, and can make mar
vicious melody.
He said: MAN has in him these
same four great strings. and each
one of these strings is capable OF
producing three notes which if tuned
20 their object OF life. makes man
great. The G string stands for God,
and the three notes are Father. Son
and Holy Spirit. The ID string stands
for deny. determine and declare.
Man must resist the power Of evil.
he must use his will in making the
fight. and he must declare for truth.
The A string stands for attunemcnt,
abandonment and action. To be at
tuned in eyesight means JOY. To be
out OF tune in any bodily function
was TO be miserable We must
abandon sin, because the greater
part Of our sickness comes from it.
We must act up TO the light we have,
for % do so. is TO get more light.
The r string stands for embodiment,
enlargement and enjoyment. What
we embody in our mind we get in
our lives. Therefore we should en-
body the good. not evils health. not
disease. We should get beyond the
enlargement of the dollar. General
~ the first 80 years of a mans life is
health seeking wealth and the last
so years OF the same mans life is
wealth seeking health. Enlarge to-
ward character. toward God, toward
man. for this saves in the end. We
are made to enjoy life. and God
wants us 10 be happy. True Chris
tianity is not of the lettered kind
not the "cabined" kind, but the
wholesome, sweet anf joyful kind. II
we live the true Christianity we will
make il attractive"
