 Rev. Aldcrson's Remarks
 Mr, Al1crson's address, in part, is as follows;
 Now on this first Sunday of this New Year may I say few things 10 you straight from the shoulder that may sound very plain. There are over two hundred men here before me who arc potential brutes this morning. You don't like that? Every one of you men has some where within you the makings Of q brute, and it is simply because you have tanned those instincts that are in you that you sit here as q group Of gentlemen and pay me the respect and courtesy of listen- ing 10 what l have to say.
 Some time ago Robert Louis | Stevenson wrote the book called "Tho Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll ! and Mir. Hyde" l have often won i dored why he put the word Strange" into the title. There was nothing strange in if. Dr. JokylI was welcomed into the best circles; hc had everything that his position called for; everybody loved him and he loved everybody. Within Dr. Jekyll those primal instincts had been transformed and tanned One day in working in his labora- tory he discovered powerful drue the taking Of which immediately transformed him into tho shrunkor and shriycIed body Of Mir. Hyde Those primitive passions and in stincts came to the fore. Nobod! wanted anything 10 do with him He was not welcomed in the realn of society in which Dr. Jekyll wa! welcomed He wandered in th' pa5ks and in the underworld of th, ! cIty, doing things, performing act which Dr. JeliyIl in his best day would have robcllcd against.
 Stevenson there draws us a clear cut picture of what man becomes when those primal instincts gc their grip upon him and make Z brute out of him. On the othcl side he gives us picture of wha q man may become when he har. ncsscs those instincts until h. grows intoa civilized being.
 There arc a lot of those prima instincts. am going to take jus three this morning:
 The first ono is ambition. Ever, man here this morning has ii. he hasn't there isn't any use fo him to come 10 this class. If ther, comes into your home q baby borl without ambition tho child is no ell there. and you have q boy or Eir ,Nho will limp through life handi capped bccau&" that primal instinc Was moi put into him at the tim .of hia creation. If thorc is q mal hey" this morning who has not am htion he is enc to be most piticd Ambition is orc of thc great, pow orful forc"S which nature has ru into us. and it can do one Of tw things make us like MT. Hyde o Dr. Jckyll.
 Tn tho past, .hcforc lot of th convrnfions of society had been bull around us, man had within his hear this personal ambition, and the ct feet that i' had upon him was { make him fake his hugo fists or hi club and go out among his fellow and hy sheer force conquer thcr
