AT ST. ANDREWS

Goodness is the greatest thing in

no reason for not being good. too. ."
said the Rev. Andrew Mutch. d. d..
pastor OF Bryn Mawr Presbyterian

mon delivered az the noon-day Len

DR.. Mutch preached on the sub

lie said In part. There is one thing
we can not leave behind us when we
leave this world and that is our
character. This Is our very soul
and whatever 10 is. good or bad. It
will be taken with u.s.
Many people think because they
are brainy and clever and have re-
ceived much education. that 10 is
just cause not TO be good. This is
not sufficient reason for not being
good Because 10 is old-fashioned
and not up 20 date and full OF pep is
the chief reason why many folks
don't want TO be good.
Even the sacred ties OF the mar
riage vows are broken nowadays.
and many other Christian insttu-
lions and customs are set at naught
by many
Jesus Christ valued goodness In
a wonderful sort OF a way. Unlike
many today, when Satan tempted
him with riches. he said. Get thee
behind me. Satan There f. no man
or woman who could say he did
wrong in refusing TO listen to the
wiles and temptations Of the Devil
What Is there IN the world that
rivals goodness? There are many
things that are desirable to all Of u.s.
but the thing in all this life that
must be valued above all others is
goodness. There is much that 3.
good In the worst Of us and much
that is bad in the best Of us. Then
again one race OF people have theh
good and bad points. what one ex.
GELS in another falls down in. but the
one person In all the world and one
that was ideal was Jesus. He had
all the good points. but none OF tn,
bad ones that dominate many OF us
IT we would have goodness. liv.
ing up 20 the example set boy Jesus
will be our only realization OF oh.
