In his sermon on the application of
the first Commandment to modern life.
Thursday evening, Rev. F. C. Williams.
rector Of st. Andrews, said in part.
The first Commandment not only for
bids polytheism, or the worship of q
number Of gods; but declares that one
God should be worshipped. It is there
fore impossible for men to keep the
Commandments and not be religious. A
moral life is not sufficient. Men must
worship God if they are going to abide
by the Ten Commandments
The modern application is given In
The words of Jesus: 'Ye cannot serve
sod and Mammon. The true man puts
Sod first in all his affections, in all his
interests, and through his love for God
and Gods love for him, santifes and
ennohles all other love"

WOMEN PUSH AND HAUL


Did any man ever take his wife to a
fire sale? Well, if he hasn't, let him
do it some time. and helm have the time
Of his life. It's great fun-for the wife.
To see the wife in the home busy with
the housewoTk you'd never think she
could develop such antagonistic power
when she gets within few feet of a
bargain-but she can. She is worse than
the men in the annual rush for worlds
series tickets.
Just to get the real atmosphere at a
fire sale, the writer dropped around at
Trachtenberg's Sale on Friday morning.
Long before the opening Of the doors
the bargain hunters were lined to the
curb in front of the store on Main street
It was a, good na6ured, pushing. but de-
termined crowd of women that pushed
and pulled and stuck elbows into each
others ribs in an attempt to gain 2. slight
advantage. Officer Hughie McAvoy, had
been stationed in front Of the store tt
preserve order but Hugh4e was only q
mere man, and his chances at keeping
the crowd back were slim. Hughie only
lost a couple of buttons off his coat
where some energetic woman had tried
to haul him out Of the way. Finally
Hughie gave it I'D as bad job and went
inside the store to tend she door.
Before he left one woman who had
drawn out $40 from the bank the day
before set up a wall that she had los
her pocketbook. She tried to look on the
sidewalk for it. but the crowd would no
give an inch; all they would give wal
sympathy. Finally after many sugges
tions from the women about her, she To-
Gated the missing pock etbook next to heI
skin, near the waistMle- where it haC
slipped when she put it in for safe keep
ing.
The people were let into the store :
few at time, and every time the COT
was opened there was rush, and it tool
two men to dose the door again agains
the rush. In the store the scene was al
most as bad. One woman would hav
her eye on an article and Just about a.
she was going to get 1t another woman
would grab, and then the fun wouA
start Luckily, no one wore bras
knuckles. Two women CHANGED to EraI
for a dress at the same tIme, and bot
connected. Neither would let 60, and at
ter pulling each other about like tw
dogs with rag the dress parted in tn
I middle and each woman had a half. HOY
the matter was settled is not known
| for it was no place for peace-loviTi
| individual. Mere man had no chance
and he seemed to realize It, for litel
| business was done in. the mems lines dur
! ing the day and many bargains still re
| main in that department
