THE SWEPT HOUSE
BY DIR. w. l.. BARTON

little harder for him to be bad, and
a little safer for his neighbor.
When we have passed u good
laws, we have only begun our duty.
We have still to educate and
strengthen and help to create a
moral purpose ard a righteous
standard of living.
There is an odd parable in the
New Testament about an unclean
spirit cast out which wanders about
homeless for a while, and then
comes back and brings eve worse
spirits to live in the swept and gar
nished house. {
We need to fill up human LIFE
with SO much that is good h a they
shall be less room for the spiriV
of evil purposes and plans.
Casting out evil spirits is well
enough in its way. and sweeping
the house is good; but after the
housecleaning there is something
to be done to make life positive,
strong and sweet.

T fdent that everything is being done
as it should be done, well and good;

methods in finance Politics. DR.
Habbart asserted can be played on
the SQUIRE and the world would be
better Off il more people would prac-
tlce "clean business"
"a man can be a politician and
a good Christian at the same time"
the pastor asserted "The trouble
today is that many good men and
women entering politics become
Identified with dishonest cliques
or unholy alliances and eventually
become contaminated with un-
Christian methods.
The same thing is true Of busi-
ness. There is such a thing as clean
business and the time has come
when It is being practiced more and
more"
Loyalty TO true Americanism and
10 the principles Of the Master, were
urged by Mr.. Habbart. He decried
immoral conduct in social circles
The minister chose as his theme "Ar
