BISHOP CALLS
To ONE DUTY
Tells Lenten Worshippers
They Cannot Serve Two
Masters in Life
SHOULD GIVE ALL.
TO ONE DEVOTION

The second service OF the noon
day Lentoh services being held in
ST. Andrews Church was largely at
tended today. Bishop Cook spoke
on the text mo Man Can serve Two
Masters" st. Matthew. The Rev.
Richard w. Trapnell rector Of st.
Andrews conducted the prayers.
Bishop Cook said, This statement
of the Lord Jesus Christ is a part OF
the sermon on the Mount Like
most OF the statements that make
up that great utterance It has a
meaning that lies upon the surface.
so obvious and simple that child
may understand it: and It has at
the same time significance so deep
and meaning so comprehensive
that the wisest cannot sound its
depth.
mo man can serve two masters.
The plan and obvious meaning runs
something like this: The hope of
success is in consistency. loyalty
is the greatest virtue of which we
are capable and summons all other
virtues to its help. If man is ex-
pecting and looking for success he
ought to strive for consistency and
loyalty to the principle and person
he serves.
IF a man has chosen to be
selfish, and II that is his adapted
principle in life, then let him be
selfish to the limit. Then, again, II
a man has chosen 20 be dishonest,
let him be as dishonest as he can
be. without thinking of the ruin he
brings or Of the disaster he incu-
bates. It is divided loyalties that
ruin success.
mo man can serve two masters
who is your master?
What is the dominant motive in
your life?
ITO which kingdom do you belong.
the kingdom OF light and power and
Joy in the Holy Ghost; or the king
dom Of evil and darkness and final
despair.
Whichever kingdom you serve.
serve with a singleness OF purpose
and devotion Of heart. Go the limit.
Get into the whole work, OF the
whole kingdom. Let yourself go in
fullest and complete loyalty and de-
votion. For no man can serve two
masters. But in TIE service Of one.
II that master be large enough to
keep his whole nature busy and sat
ished, the servant will hnd Joy and
satlsfaction and continued blessing y
