any man went there thinking that MI
Sunday was going to talk filth, he wa
very much disappointed. Instead /
was a clean cut and straight from tn,
shoulder appeal to men to be strong
and clean and to believe in and live IL
Christ. .
The text was from I Kings, 11;2: "B
thou strong therefore, and show thy
self man."
1T took God just 800 words to tel
how he made world, but 1t took TWEEN
ty-five chapters in the book of Gene
sis for him to tell how he made a man
That goes to show that man is th'
greatest handiwork Of God and in ere
ating man he put forth his best effort
All persons who wear hats and breech'
es are not men,. but only those wh'
have character are men.
God is no respecter Of persons, bu
he does respect character. A fool ma!
have a knowing look, but when III
opens his mouth it is all over. Charac'
ter tells. The worst bankrupt in the
world is he who is bankrupt in charac-
ter. ...
Take Joseph. That boy had char.
acter Remember down there in Egypt
when the wife of Potiphar sought tc
tempt him to lay with her and how aft
er he persistently refused she pulled of
his coat and presented 1t to her old
man as evidence against him.
Against cireunstantial Evidence.
well, that was pretty strong cir
cumstantial evidence against Joseph
but it was not true evidence. And right
here let me say I'd never put a rope
around a mans neck on circumstantia
evidence. No, sir" t....
David and Solomon.
"The Dying Council of Father to
Boy." was the subject OF the sermon
announced by Mr.. Sunday, who said
that the text he had read were the
words Of King David to his son, Solo
mon, who was to succeed him on the
throne of Israel. David he said, "dit
not advise his son to be a great king
He knew that he would be a great ruler
If he were a strong man. David ad'
vised his son, Solomon, to improve
himself in every way possible. One
must make the most Of ones opportu'
mites to succeed ur..

he. you'll get out Of life, men, just
what you look for, No matter how
high he scars, a vulture never sees
anything but carrion. The mocking'
bird weuld neverslearn to" sing If ht
took music lessons from a hoot owl.
"And yet" he continued, "it is natu'
raj that everybody should look at life
from his own viewpoint. For instance
the undertaken is happiest when ne II

er is happiest when the thermometer Is
40 degrees below zero.
Habits.
Remember this, fellows" he shout
ed. "the habits of your young man
hood will cling to you in after life. Tc
succeed you must raise your perspec-
tive. One reason why there are sc
many bleaching bones on the desert OF
Failure is because those men 'lacked
perspective. David wanted Solomon tc
reach the mountain of success. He
wanted him to aim high. And you
must aim high in your endeavors.
Wild Oats.
"Watch your company" advised the
evangelist. ITO know some men Is an
invitation to do right; to know Others
is to do wrong. Remember you always
have to pay for sin. Manhood depends
upon the condition Of your soul.
THE best. time for a man to put in
his first crop Of wild oats Is between
the ages of IS and 90. Remember one
night out with the gang will often ruin
you"
Mr.. Sunday appealed to fathers tc
live right and clean for the sake OF
their boys. MANY q boy" he said
turns out bad because the fathers
talk and walk don't agree. The great
est thing that can happen to q boy OF
girl is for that boy or girl to come un-
der the influence Of some good man OF
woman. Be strong yourselves and
give your boy chance"
Husbands and Wives.
Mr.. Sunday handed out some in
structions to husbands relative tc
treatment of their wives. "The mar
who makes his wife beg for spending
money" he declared, lis worse thar
an infidel. Don't get mad at the same
time your wife does"
Capital and Labor.
In the course of his sermon Mr.
Sunday took occasion to discuss econ
Omics briefly. 1--WE hear much about
capital and labor" said he. zone
can't do without the other and the
public needs them both. Capital, lab:
or and the public are like three leg
