Emasculating, ' depressing anti be••

some lazy, nonprogressive people as
the rule of thought and life, that
"what was geed enough for our fa-
thers Should be good enough. for us."
X would yield to no man in 'any rev-
erenco kr the memory of the sainted

taphs too eloquent or too reverent

In the first place, I protest against
the iconoclasm which is undermining
the foundation stones of our maces••
tral Sabbath. Its desecrators have
been going up and down the length
and breadth of . the land asserting
that religious worship can become as
much a form of dissipation as drink
or overeating or overexercising • can
be. They ,make a wrong application
of our Lord's words that the "Sab-
bath was made for man ancl' not roan'
for the Sabbath." They aiilrzn. that
it is absurd for a business man who
has been at hard work for at least
six days of the week from 7 o'clock
in the morning sometimes until 3.0
or 11 or 12 o'clock at night to' be
compelled to get up on Sunday ' in
time for an early Sunday school,
then to attend two long • church
preaching services, and then perhaps
to attend a Christian Endeavor so-
ciety besides.
They contend that Sunday should
be a day of rest and that what a
span needs upon the 'Sabbath day is,
relaxation. He should go to bed
Saturday night after a hot batth,witli.
his mind perfectly at ease. As he
crawls into .bed he should be able .to
say to himself: "Now, I can lie here
just as long as I please. If I awake
at 9 o'clock, all right. If I.can
sleep to 12, better still. Then after
I awake I will have a cup of coffee
and a roll brought to my bedside,
and I will eat a little and then• stay
in bed ' another hour, reading the
newspaper. Then after dinner I will
take my children out to one of. the
public parks or down. by the seaside
and get a sun bath and a view of
God's trees and valleys and hillsides,
or I will go to one of our great art
galle ies and look at the pictures. It

' THE LORD'S DAY.
I protest, in the second place,
.against the iconoclasm which would
(eliminate from our lives the divine
principle of concern for the • hvc$fsre
of others. Profane iconoclastic hands
have bean undermining the foundation
stones of oar sacred Sabbath. .Aye,
these enemies of God have been doing
More; they have been sneering and'
ridiculing the beautiful parable of
the good Samaritan. They nave
been declaring that a man's neighbor.
belongs not to the fancily which .lives'
next door to him. The only neigh-
bor who has claims he would recog-
n ize is the wife or child who lives
within the four walls ofhis otvn
house. He has been asserting that
a man's chief duty in life IS to him-
self and his own. After the members
of his immediate family have eaten
enough and have al, well filled :tyar,:l-
robe and a comfortable house to live
in, then a man has fulfilled his chief
end to society. His doctrine is,

THE BEAUTI1?U'L IDOL.
"Can any good come dut of such a
Nazareth?" I once read of a great
conqueror invading a country of •the,
, far east. One day he entered •a
temple where stood an idol so beau-
tiful that -not ane of his followers
was willing to destroy It. With an
oath, the conqueror said, "If you
will not obey my conianand:'s I will
destroy it myself." l: To lifted his
battleax. As he raised himself in lila
Stirrups --for he had ridden his horse
into the temple -with a mighty blew,
lien shattered the idol into a thousand
pieces. Then, to his followers' sur-
prise, lie revealed the fact that the
inside of the idol wee not vacuum.
It had been filled with thousands
an thousands dt golden coins, which
es a lava bed burst from the broken
statue and rolled to the feet of thee.

Tho most important among the

way for Handling them is to put them
in bushel crates., They can then be

upon another, and take up less floor

is convenient to sort them, and one
