A. The speaker for the noon hour was Rev. Charles H. Ricketts, who, in a forceful manner, told the men to “Fear Not,” if.they desired to become leaders. His address in part was as follows: Yesterday was Christmas day. In some form or other the great festival was celebrated in all civilized coun- tries, and to some extent—larger, per- haps than wo think—in all the great pagan lands. It seems fitting. then, that my message to you toda ould have its inspiration in what is contessedly the greatest evest in the history of mankind. Now I am not going to preach even a short Christmas sermon here to you to- day, but I am going to talk on a theme that §g closely connected with Christmas; it is the conquest of fear. It was the first word utte by the angel when he announced to th cpherds tha great event of Bethlehem. And that , first word was the key note of the coming power which was to emancipate human- ity from that great enemy, Fear, But why did the angel tell thesé s herds not to fear There was certain- 1y nothing in the tidjngs he had to re- late that should make them afraid. Peo- ple generally are startled by what is seemingly supernatural The hour is midnight, calm, probably dark, into the midst_of which there suddenly ' came a clear, bright light. They knew it came from neither sun, moon, nor star, and in this universal light the angel ppeared and spoke to them. Suppose the same experience should come to us on a dark night, v too, would be ‘more afraid.” Remember that this was a great age for supersti- tion and that thigse shepherds, being in, common, uneducated people, were likely to believe the current opinions in regard to supernatural visitations. And hence the angel seeks to quiet them by saying, 'Fear not.” From what fol- lows it/is quite clear that the shep- herds were completely won over, and the calining of their fears evidently came from the consciousness that the Lord had sent them a mesage. Am 1 wrong in saying that fear is one of the greatest enemies to both in dividual and community advancement? Think of the man who is afraid to utter what he honestly believes ought to be said. Is not such a man rere- ly & namby pamby non-entity? Would the awful curse of slavery have been rooted out of our national life, if men like Beecher, Phillips.. Lemner and oth- ers of like spirit had mnot thundered against it In the teeth of the most vi- olent opposition? The “fear not”. of Bethlehem stood by them during the holy crusade. : When in 1917 the call came very loudly to defend civilization, the young men "of, the country were at once di- vided into three classes: First, those p- to stay at home because they had rela- tives dependent upon them; secondly, the heroes who volunteered for service, and thirdly, the slackers, those who moved heaven and earth to escape defending their “country. Now the difference be- tween these last two classes, the he- roes and slackers is fear. Suppose the . great “captains of In- {dustry” had been timid men, afraid to ibranch out in new and untried chan- nels of trade, America would not have Dossessed her wonderful economic sys- teme. I Fult4r, Morse, Vanderbilt, Ford, -Rockefcller, Edison and scores of others, Whose enterprise and daring along scientlfic and_economic lines have made the country rich, had been timid men, bound hand and foot by fear, insiead of being the United States of America we would be Mexico, a fourth class nation, whose natural resources aught to " put, her into ‘the’ front rank. But she has\no. men of daring who are bold enough to venture into rich and un- explored fiélds, 5 Tell .me, it You please, what. is the difference between these two men: both of them have ten thousand dollars, the first invests his capital in some legi- timate business—a business that is as safe as anything on -earth can be—and from it derives a fair income. ~ The other man takes his 510,000 and hides it in a mattress or in an old boot for safety, which is safe until- some one bats him over the head and. takes the money. 1 ask what is the difference between those two mef? The word fear explains it. 1s it mot.true that the knowledge Of protection banishes the sense of fear? For instance, i you have funds invested in our government security, you need to have no fear for their safety, for nothing on earth fs| safer. That is why I say knowledge of protection banishes. the sense of fear, - : Now the consclousness of being under the protection of a power - that fs stronger than we drives fear completely out of us. May I give you an illustra- tion of this taken from my early lite? In my boyhood days my father used to take me with him in some of his walks. . On one occasion 1 remember that we came to a brook that was quite wide. ‘I was afraid to cross it. It seemed such a fearful task, but to my father it was nothiag but a mole hil Was a mountain. But father ST help you" and as 1 felt the ve and warmth and strength of that hand the last vestige of fear left me. Since that day, men, I've had to pass through some_tough places, but I haven't been aise, 7 Y Band has been held by a ired Bl omrage, s Temgtncy RN e e L PINNED TO FLOOE s BY HEAVY GRINDSTONE An_ Uncasville man on Christmas day Went to his bamn to do the chores.
