Weo make our own fortune, and then name It chance or fate. Every man s the ar- chitect of his own fate.

Jekyil and Hyde Alive Today. There is a Mr. Hyde In every man who neutralizes and paralyzes the aspir- | ations of Dr. Jekyll. Btevenson was not in fairland when he wrote Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde is alive today There i in the hearts of men a force which chains them and drags them in the dust. Soclety Is organized around the idea that men have a natural ten- dency to sin This idea Is back of every social and every criminal law on the atatute books. You may not like the doctrine of original ain, but unless you are a moral idiot you cannot deny the fact that there is an inborn tendency to sin. Paul sald, “What I hate, that I do. It 1s no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For the good I would, I do not; the evil 1 would not, that I do. I find a law when I wpuld do good, evel is present. I see anpther law, In my members, warring against the law of my.mind, bringing me into the cap- tivity of sin."* There are thousands who can sub- scribe to the statement Paul makes, who appreciate the sorry plight of Dr. Jekyll, when they have reached the point where Mr. Hyde has dominated. Listen! The story has a ray of light. Your will is still supreme; it is still the pivot of your destiny. You may say who will take the throme of life. Twe Pletures, In front of you tonight stands the mild-manered Jekyll, with pure and clean thoughts. On the other side crouches dwarfed, mean, vile, low, mis- shapen Hyde. He asks control. Neither can take | broke will be broke Soclety Mast Share Blame for Crime. You laugh at Aaron and Mrs. Poyser, | but we have exactly the same tendency today to shift responsibility to some one else. One man blames cussedness on { environment, and says: “I was born in | the sium aistrict, where twelve peo- ple lived In one room; my father died when I was young, and my mother was compelled to throw her unripe strength into the care of the family, I was left home during the day, and roamed the street as the only piay-ground, natur- |ally 1 took on easy low morals of the | street, low standards of my tenement surroundings. 1 am what I am, because of my early environment.” | Now I wiil not say one word to lessen the enthusiasm for fmprovement of the physical and moral environment of man- | kind. I firmly bell environment has great effect upon character. 1 belleve if moclety permits any considerable pro- portion to live in foul, unlighted rooms, where from eight to ten people live, cook, eat and sieep,’ working year In and year out from fourteen to fifteen hours every day; I belleve If soclety allows deserving men to stagger along with less than a living wage; if soclety permits shoulders of widowed mother- criminals. If light causes a plant to lift its head don, while darkness causes them to droop and wilt and die, it Is reasonable that wholesome living conditions will fer, I belleve all this, and I also believe that the church must throw her Influence more upon the side of justice and square Iife the teaching of Jesus.
