Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN II. GUM.
A Word for All.

Text: 'The entrance of Thy words
giveth light; it giveth understanding
unto the simple. ."-Ps. 119-130.
In beginning these daily Three Min
ute Sermons in The Star, I wish to say
to my new audience that they will be
strictly non-sectarian. Avoiding Sec
tarianism. shall endeavor to inter-
pret in a plain, simple way the prac-
tical ideals of the Bible IN reiatioh
to EVERYDAY life. Along with this my
nurpose shall be to speak a friendly,
encoura eing word that will help peo-
ple toward the attainment and reall-
cation of these ideals.
For more than two years have
been writing these short sermons Tor
a number of newspapers in different
parts of the country. Many words or
appreciation and assurances or heip~
received have come to me from read
erS.
In the preparation Of these little
messages I try not TO overlook any
body. I keep constantly in mind the
shop-worker, the store clerk, protes-
sional and business people, those who
toll in the home, the invalid and smut
in, the young and old. the sick, the
troubled and the sorrowful. My con-
stant effort all along is to get in
heartenin2 word for everybody, for the
aspiring youth as well as for those or
mature years. for the scholar and the
unlettered, for the successful and un-
successful, for the rich and poor, for
the optimist who sees only 1.-The sill
yer lining" and for the disillusioned,
the weary and discouraged.
For the appropriate word to say TO
each and all, look to the Bible. More
and more / am amazed at the re-
sourcefulness of this wonderful Book.
Never once has it disappointed me In
my search for the needed word. 1t
seems to know human nature and to
understand all it's complexes. 1t
seems to know and understand all the
varying moods of the human heart.
And it has something that answers
to all it's moods and needs. 1t has
an appropriate word for every con-
ceivable condition and circumstance.
No matter to whom I have wanted
to speak, whether to those who toll
and suffer in hidden places, or to the
man amid the crowds, or the court,
or the forum, or the street, or the
market place, never once has the Bible
failed to supply the appropriate word.
If these messages go home to the
human heart and do anybody any
good, it is because they come from
that Book that knows and under
stands the human heart-that has a
healing balm for all its woes and
points the way to the fulfillment of
all it's hopes.

Shortly after the closing of the
Philadelphia Centennial of 1876, a
squad of knaves shook the dust of the
exposition from their heels and parked
themselves about the Capitol. Their
means of support, while more or less
invisible, was none the less lucrative,
for they practiced their nefarious pro-
fession on those gullible souls who
possessed more credulity than sense.
Their theory was that if Washing
ton visitor did not have n return
ticket, ne had the equivalent in cash
and more. Their motto was, Never
give a sucker an even break"
Thus it came about that this frater-
nifty of takers set themselves up as
Capitol guides. They We're a sleek
outfit, oily tongued and plausible.
Mulcting the public was legitimate, if
one wasn't caught at it.
When Josiah Elderberry came to
town to see the sights, quite naturally
he wanted to visit the Capitol. Usu-
ually he fell in with one of these pi-

When Somebody Is Staring at You.

Lots of people believe that they can.
It's an old belief, and if you had lived
a few hundred years ago it wouldn't
have been quite safe to practice tnat
staring habit. You might have been
suspected of black magic. or having
an evil eye and casting a spell on
your enemy by staring at him.
There's a whole book written on the
Evil Eye. Even Pope has been sus-
pected Of possessing that diabollcal
power. That's the kind OF thinking
that long held sway over the masses
of men, and which we now call super
stitious when we have got over be-
lieying in livery much. But beliefs
of the same order survive, though
thew don't shape your daily behavior.
AS important as that we have stopped
burning people as witches is that we
have stopped accusing them of witch
craft, So the world does move; the
evil eve and witchcraft don't belong IN
the same world with radio and flying
machines.
An interesting hangover of this kind
of thinking is the common belief that
you have a peculiar feeling (say at a
church or concerD when some one
is staring at the back of your head,
and that makes you turn around ana

sure that they can make you turn
around by staring at you, and will

too often to have any doubt about it.
So Prof. Coover of Stanford Uni

while to test the whole thing by ex-
pertinent. In the first place, he ques-
toned 1900 students and found that
81 out of every 100 women and 72
out of every 100 men share this be-
lief, and these are selected students.
II the majority vote ruled in such
matters, the vote would be all one
way. But one vote of science outvotes
many impressions.
So they tried it. They arranged

Her rights are recognized in equal
suffrage and other safeguards under
the Constitution. Complete industrial
equality is still to be achieved. Never
theless, the major battle is over.
Now comes the revolt OF youth to
free itself from the domination of
elders, chiefly parents. There is no
more valid reason why groWn-ups
should dominate little folk, to say
nothing of exploiting them, than there
was for man to dominate man or for
man to dominate woman. To great
many youngsters this arbitrary pow
er is nothing short Of tyranny.
We rebel because 1t is the natural
reaction against any force which him
ders self-expresion. This is based on
two fundamental instincts called the
fighting instinct and the instinct of
self-assertion. The driving force of
rebellion is thus multiplied. Take
away these fundamental drives and
all progress stops.
The revolt of youth Is not some
thing to be feared and fought, but
to be studied sympathetically and
hailed as a mark of progress. All
honor to the youth of our day. The
so-called revolt of youth shows that
the human race Is true to form.

we arc all rebels by nature. Re
bellion against interference in inti-
mate personal affairs is one of the
ingredients in the blood of every nor

show signs of anger and resentment
if held too tightly. Larger children
will kick and squirm to get out OF
the clutches of the one who tries to
hamper their physical movements. The
urge of personal freedom is tremen-
tious drive in the development OF the
individual and the race.
Our age is often chacterized as the
age of revolt. and more specifically,
as the revolt of youth. The history
of this movement dates back to an
tiquity, when one man knocked an
other in the head with club and
beat him into submission. 1t was a
question of might. The inferior had
no rights. He was at the mercy of
the strong and powerful. In the
course of time man won relative in

equality.
