?AGE EIGHT FIRST PRESBYTERIAN REV. CHAS, A. WILSON In two preceding sermons we nave set forth the influence of the English Bible upon the sreat classics of our language. It has also had much to do with the mak- ng of history. In the days of Wic- iif, {t was sald thot the best things ‘ ‘im religion ought to be kept from the people because they could no ye trusted to understand them. wn feeling was he best thin: people ought it. From that day to thia the B’ble has been in the hands of the people, been a history-making This is true of the new world, as well as of the old Practicalty evory American colony had in its founding a religious significance traceable to fome interpretation of the Book. As {t has power ®> make Wterature 301 History, it has power to make life. It awakens thought ahout tho great }ends of life, makes human ideals }clear and definite, beautiful and at i tractive. It touches the wills of - men and moves them to action. The need of higher moral stand: ards ig increasingly evident today.

And how unreason- able were their excuses. The first had bought a piece of land, without seeing it and had closed the deal, but on this particular day, made up his mind to go to see it. He might have Sone to see it on any other day. The other had bought several Yoke of oxen, without haying seen them, he had trusted the honesty and integrity of the owner until this Particular day, but now decides that he must .t them out. He was much like the first one. The other fellow had married and of course could not come. He had the sanction of the scripture for Deut. 24:5 reads thus “When a man taketh a new wife he shall not gO out in the host” and etc. But he might have 1aken his wife with him. Now there were. others that offered excuses, but these are sufficient to illustrate the way that people ex- cuse themselves for not doing their duty.

This is the book that this series of sermons is designed to make fam!

Vee soe SSS FIRST CONGREGATIONAL REV. ROBERT ALLINGHAM T have just returned from the an- nual mid-winter gathering of the secretaries, superintendents, | and i field workers of the Congregational churches of America held in Chi- cago. It was indeed a pleasant con- trast to the stupid, wasteful and acrimonious controversies going on in so many denominations at the present time. The Congreationalists quietly settled these matters about + 20 years ago. It is the genius of that body to keep about 30 years in advance. In speaking today upon “The Pro- , digals Family” I am importuned by the opening verses to call attention to the popularity of Jesus with the outcast and the underdog, “Then Grew near unto him the publicans and sinners for to hear him.” The smug aristocracy of some preachers _ and congregations is the best evi- | dence that their program ts not the christian one. Their air is condes- _ cending rather than brotherly. Their “| slant is from the haunts of men, their messages do not show concern for the issues that disturb and des- troy. This gospel- classic reveals. three characters common to the human family in all ages. The father, the prodigal, the elder son. Jesus re veals the attitude of God in the story of the father. God does not fence men in. Animals may have to * be fenced but not men. Man is endowed with the ability to deter- mine and to distinguish. To reason and toWudge. The son may stay at home or he may go away. The son has potential ability but he must learn to use it. The prodigal re- fuses to use it. He comes to him- self. And the father was waiting to receive him. “Oh love that will not let me go” sings the poet. The father is not angry, he forgives the son before the son fully confesses, Any angry God fs a relic of pagan- ism. The father rebukes the se!f contained, selfsatisfied, disinterested son, and calls himself and the pro digal brothers. This is what apy good father would do. ao Boek GRACE AFRICAN METHODIST REY. T. J. BURWELL Text: Luke 14:18.. “And they all with one eonsent began to make excuse.” Subject: Excuses There are few things which are more often on human lips than ex- cuses. They cover the entire scope of human life from the cradle to the grave. The child excuses him- self from obeying {ts parents: the scholar from studying his books; the failing merchant from examin- ing his books, so that he may see just how he stands; the agriculturist from properly tilling the soil, the minister from making the delicate and difficult call. And this did not begin yesterday, but has always been so sinco the human family began. The scriptures teach {t, and we have a more immediate witness of its truth in our own experience.

Z , Members of the commission, who immediately departed for Washing- ton when their work was finished, had with them a series of resolu- tons embodying the ideas of many] of the witnesses which were pre- sented by Lee R. Taylor, president of the Federated Water Users as- sociation. The main resolution called for “early congressional action to enable the secretary of the interior to deal with financial matters as he deem- ed best and “jn accordance with re- commendation of President Coolidge to congress. During the ten days hearing “here the _commission ‘heard delegates from virtually every reclamation Project in the west. All had grie- vances and made suggestions as to what they believed should be done regarding thcir own enterprises and for reclamation in general. Most of the witnesses told the commission that their projects were in bad shape financially or other- wise and all had suggestions to offer as to remedial legislation, Various officials and branches of tho rec'a- mation service were criticised and financial assistance was asked for by nearly every delegate. The first few days of the hearings Saw great numbers of irrigationists on hand but as the inquiry dragged out many of the farmers returned to their homes. During his stay in Salt Lake City ‘the commission chairman an ex-governor ef Arizona, took oc- casion to predict that his state would ratify the Colorado river pro- Ject next year. ‘This enterprise calls Captive Sunlight—at Your Service Day or Night Imagine that you were able to capture the sunlight—hbottle it up and use it wherever and whenever you wanted it, What wonderful comfort it would be to use this captive sunlight in your firerlace—in those chilly bedrooms before retiring and when you want quick warmth in the morning.
