DAILY SERMON. lBy a Layman)

II saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness, - Ecclestesiastes 2:13
 Ture happiness come only and this wisdom is from above. The only thing that can give true joy to the soul ls communion with its given.
 Worldly pleasures indulsed in 10 it's utmost only leaves the sould the more miserable. The flesh may find T"rEp"= raiy satisfaction but the Sould never. The real man is unseen. he lives within he is n helpless prisoner in the hands of sinful flesh. hence no worldly pleasure can satisfy Wisdom ar r"lig- ion is the natural food of the soul. the only thing that can satisfy ever longing and desire. every laudible ambition. every higher inspiration. every true vision of the inner man, iS that wis dom that cometh from God alone.
 Human philosophy fails. the ua ! rush after pleasure fails, the getting of great wealth fails. True religion alone meets the needs and deman ndS of the soul.
 After years of the most earnest Studs Solomon said. Let us hear the conciu- sion of the whole matter, fear God and keep his commandments for rhi> iS the whole duty of man.
