THE CASTING OUT or FEAR

Luke 1899: Dismiss your fears little flock: your
Father finds pleasure in gaing you the kingdom"
If were asked to emotion which every man
feels would unhestatingly name "fear" You are ac-
quanted with fear matter who you are Christian or
heather, white black you afraid of something 1t
so now it when Christ delivered the message from
which quote today For the benefit of his hearers
the benefit of all mankind Jesus said Dismiss your fears
little flock: Your Father finds pleasure giving you the
Kingdom.
l. Dismiss your fears of sickness The average man is
in daily fear of sickness Many people bring disease by
all sorts of medicines disease Men have
become multnionares manufacturers of patent nos
tros because the public feared Sickness Many people think
themselves into the scbed and many cases to the grave
Most people who are sick sick mentally If gener
ally would dismiss their fears of Sickness the human fam
lily would be healthy brute families Coueism fact
because the health suggestions which recoends dismiss
the fear of disease
Dismiss your fear" of death Some people get very
little JOY out of life because of the fear of death Constantly
they thinking of death lurking her heels
This takes the JOY out of life for too many people DISMISS
your fears of death by seeing death something other
than the black camel which klees at every mans gate
"a leap in the dark "a cruel monster Think of it rather
as he gate endless JOY the friend who relieves us of
all care sorrow Sickness pain and DEATH the guide who
leads home blessed with so many advantages that "eye
hath hath heard nor hath it entered into
the heart of the things which God hath in store for
them that lovfe Him." Become reconced with Cod CON
tlnue that relation and there will be need death
3. Dismiss your fears" of poverty O. how we dread
thought and energy upon the accumulation of wealth Thus
one may succeed in the getting of things but he often
rices that which is far better The average person can
not get wealth and keep abiding interest things eternal
Instead of getting wealth, wealth gets him. The fear of
poverty makes many corrupt practices which
cost them character the association Of good people, helpful
example before their children and home in heaven The
price is too great Better far take comfort in the
that the God who feeds the birds of the air clothes the Ill
les of the field beyond the magnificence of Solomon will
surely for His human children for whose redemption
He gave His only begotten son."
4 "Disms your fears of the success of Others This
fear makes for individual strife and conflict
its ground envy. 1t made the first murderer and has
been the of mutudinous murders since The
strife between and the fight between capital and
labor the everpresen conflict between and race would
not exist except for the fear have of the success of
others
The panacea for all these fears lies in the practice of
brotherhood Brotherhood be practiced without in
terraca cooperation In proportion as this done will
mutual respect and good will obtain Frequent association
will rpen into love and Glove casteth out fear"
