/. AS there are elements in ma
ture that cannot exist, one without
the other so mankind cannot live
alone without his brother.
2. The contrast may seem as far
apart as darkness and sunlight, but
without these racial identifications
this earth would be long night.
8. For its the colorful circum-
stance augmented by a different
hues that makes life worthwhile to
you and me adding blessings not a
few.
4. It is the know how to meet
all men every passing day that
keeps the shadows off of your path
and the light on your brothers way.
5. When men try to stand in the
way of God and His high purposes
endeavor to defeat, these are the
men who darken the world and wild
shadows will have to meet.
6. Men cannot see straight who
will not believe that out of one
blood God created all men here on
earth to dwell; to take it lightly and
think any other way, his own dark
ness he cannot dispel.
Z. But ah, he who puts his trust
in God. and for all mankind keeps
his lower lights burning; he will not
be worried by shadows, for on him
the sunlight will be turning.
8. We cannot prevent the rain nor
the shadows that sometimes must
fall: but our spiritual lights can be
replenished at Gods oiling station
and shed light on His terrestrial
ball.
9. An inward experience of a heav-
emily existence is what men need to
establish in their hearts here on
earth; it will chase away gloom. dis
sipate shadows and create in them
a new birth. q.
10. Thus the eye that was evil.
filling the whole body with dark
ness will see a new light. and moral
deception and delusion be replaced
by clear sight.

Sentence Sermons
By Rev. Frank Clarence Lowry

IL. There is a panacea for the
heartaches that shadow this sad
bleeding world now; it is the throne
of our loving Saviour, before whom
all men must bow.
IL. Man in his far flung stretch
for discoveries in the domain of sci
ence has walked in safety on the
sea; but Jesus is the only one who
can change HIS shadows into sun
light and set his sinful soul free.

bills passed by the Senate and the
House, it was whipped into final
