APPLYING RELIGION
TOEvERY DAY LIFE
Or. Hubbard Says Too Many
Show Devotion to God on
Sunday Only.

The Christian EndNvor topic this
week Ia discussed by the Rev. DR..
Carlisle l.. Hubbard, pastor OF 81.
paul's M. II. Church. who takes for his
subject Applying Religion 10 Every
ence. Joshua 90: 1-6. DR.. Hubbard
says;
Here u the fine story OF group
Of people who In tho name OF
religion loft homo and loved ones
and spent weary weeks in a great
public service In Kidding their
land of n desperate foe And now they
are told by faithful Leader: "Get
you unto your tents and unto the land
OF your possession. But telto diligent
heed to do tho comma ndment and the
law which Moses. the servant of the
Lord. charged you: to love the Lord
your God and walk I'm all His ways,
and TO keep his commandment, and
to cleave upto Him. and to serve
Him with all your heart and all your
soul" Go on. says their interpid lead
er, continue TO live your daily life I'm
fellowship with and serving God Let
your religion apply to your every day
! life"
/. Too many are religious only on
Sunday. and consider their duty TO
God and men fulfilled when they mp
lply religion To their lives for one day
In the week. These dishonor God and
keep others out of the Kingdom.
| 2. Another large group are religious
for only part of Sunday.
An hour To spend I'm the sanctuary
and for this hour n kind OF religion
envelops their lives. Then the re-
mainder Of Gods holy day is spent
on an excursion. on ball fields. or golf
course or in some form of pleasure
seeking that dishonors the day God
hallowed Thise dishonor God and keep
more people from Him.
3. In contrast sec the man who ap-
iplles religion to his life on Sunday and
to all his days
His life on Sunday is one OF sincere
devotion TO God and His Church, nnd
tho only difference seen on the other
days of the week is that no goes q
Church less frequently. but
(A) In the home, he eets up n fam
fly altar and daily he leads his family
In worship. In his home they look
upon him ~ the priest of the most
High God.
CB) In his business. he Is courteous
gentleman. Those who deal with hiif
are sure Of n fair treatment. lie Il
generous In his dealings with his en-
ployecs, and if himself an employc,
he considers II religious duty 10 give
an honest Jays work TO his employer
(C) In his social life. he is the sou
OF courtesy. but firmly no refuses q
iparticipnte In any function upon whlcl
he cannot ask the blessing Of hi
G Lord. His pleasures arc sought In higl
and noble things. IIe will not drin
from n cess-pooI. as does tho world
, ling.
!. (D) In his political life no Ia n pa
triot. Every rood Christian is. He love
, his country 20 woll that he will nc
countonnnce tho willful breaking {
:, her least important law. Tho ballot h
= holds to be n sacred trust and he vote
= as no prays. Such n man whose whol
- life Is religious. sweetly peacea bl'
. kindly religious, who cats and work
a and plays as In tho presence OF hn
unto the Lord is n blessing to all tn
;, world and the best asset OF any CON
:, munity
