TODAY'S BEST STORY
IN BTLLY'S SERMON

Phillips Brooks, a great Episco-
palian in Boston, had, at one time
in his church, just such man. His
religion on Sunday was beyond crit
icism, but on other days he did not
allow his religion to interfere with
his plans or with the places he went
to, and Phillips Brooks said every
time he approached man and ask
ed him to be Christian, in that
city that mans name was constant
Iy brought into the conversation.
Phillips Brooks believes there
was one place for a preacher to
to the face of the man or woman
who needed the criticisms and so
he went to that man and he said:
"EVery time ! approach a man
and ask him to be Christian, your
name is brought into the conversa-
ton, and they say, while you are
loyal to the church on Sunday,
while you are religious on the Sab
bath day, on the week days they
find you mean, low, sneaking,
tricky; why be any different on
Monday, Tues day, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday ard Saturday
than you are on the Sabbath"
The mans answer was very sig
nificant. He did not blush or smile
or stammer, but he said; well,
you can't expect d man to be pious
all the time, can you? You can't
expect man to attend Vesper serv-
ices all the time? A man can't be
reading his Bible and praying all
the time. He must earn his bread"

spirit and began to save, and by the
time they got the piano paid for the
entire family had got the habit of
economy
He understood that the negative
was never the best side upon which
to approach a problem in this old
world and there is a Steinway grand
principle in the life of every man
and woman on the face of this earth.
The man who is wrapped up in being
and doing big positive good need
never worry about being afraid that
he will do the bad. It's always the
fellow that's not trying to do the big,
positive good things that always gets
tangled up and does the bad things
It's always the man that's trying moi
to be bad but not to be good who is
always the ons that is bad. There is
the explanation of why many of you
have failed.
Do Good Things
Forget The Bad.
! And, therefore the man who is
wrapped up in doing big, positive
things, need not worry about the
bad things. Running away from the
world in order to be good, is mol

needs to hear.
That's the reason why you've got
lot of guys around this town with
their collars shut in front and tackled

church that spew out and call me

To smooth down the stubborn text

And smugly keep damnation out of
sight.
The third one is this: Running
away from the world, in order to be
good, makes mortality negative. This
idea of running away from the world
is to get away from the bad things
and the bad temptations and when
ever men adopt this policy, invari-
ably, their whole life is spent in at
tempting not to be bad
Morality Is
Positive Force.
OF course there must be a mega
tive side to morality. Man can never
, be what he ought to be unless he
doesn't do certain things, but that
is only one-half of morality,-that is
F! just half of it, You've seen men

alive and when a man has succeeded
| in not doing the bad things of life
! he has won just one-half of the bat
tie To that must be added the posi-
/ tive of doing the good things of life.
/ Now listen! Show me your faith by
your works. 1t is significant, my
| friends, that Jesus said Thou shalt
not" The whole life of half of the
people in the church is simply sum
med up in not doing those things,
/ but they don't do the other things.
They are just one-sided.

but l couldn't

| say that because | know nine times
out of ten that they haven't tried to

ing not to be, they've not added the

You never can get an electrotype
if you only had a negative, you must
have a positive and a negative. You
just go through the world with a
decalogue of "Don'ts." All you are
fit for is to help the preacher count

There is a Biblical definition of a

II there ever was person who did

Says

idea that being a Christian takes a
man or a woman out of the busy &C
tivities of life and makes them weak
and spineless, pale-faced eliminate,
sort of senemic. sissified-I don't be-
lieve that a man needs to run away
from the world to be religious.
I know that God Almighty expects
you to be good. not alone behind the
stone walls of church on Sunday morn
ing, but out in the rough and tumble
of everyday life, the meeting and mi>-
ing with people.
Religion consists in doing every
thing in a special way as God COM
mands you to do it, whether it is max
ing the bread or sweeping your house
or whatever it may be.
Running away from the world, in
order to be good, makes religion sell
fish.
The idea of religion has produced
men whose private lives are good, but
whose public lives are rotten.
It's always the fellow that's not
trying to do the big positive good
things that always gets tangled W
and does the bad things.
