Not Talk on Theology, But Upon Life
and Right Living.

His ministry is altogether incom-
parable. There is no question in the
mind of even the most careless as to
the value of that which He presents,
and yet the world continues to make
light of His invitation. and goes it's
several ways unresponsive to His
appeal. Said an outstanding busi-
ness man whose life has been con-
sumed through so or more years in
the prosecution of a great business,

that I have been so overoccupied in
making money that I have been

ton TO many aspects of our life. WE
have the unworthy citizen who for
selfish interests denies to the state
and nation his just obligations. Such
one We call by the opprobrious
stress we deal with him in a stern
way. In the social and domestic
sphere the unworthy is the man or
woman who treats inconsiderately
the sanctions of domestic life and fol
selfish and lustful purposes tramples
upon the sacred conventions OF the
home. In commercial life it is the
one who ruthlessly disregards the
fundamental principles that by long
established practice govern human

gain violates those things that Sc
cure the integrity and prosperity that
are the rewards of just dealings be-

the one who readily assumes obligations
