Sunday félls of Man th‘Went 5 Wrong; to Lead Others Straight| “Bllly” Sunday preached night on the topio, Bturt.” He sald Text: I Sam. x, B-"Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff.” It 1s with some reluctance I speak about how a man falled. | would much | rather tell you of some signal success in Iife. but sometimes the study of fallure is more fruitful than the study of ocon- quest. 1 am speaking tonight with the hope that whero Saul went wrong you'll go right, so that when you are called to be king or quéen of that Inner kingdom of meh and of women you may be one of God's noblemen, and come to your eoro- nation, not like Suul, allowing the “stuff" of the word to eover up kingliness and queenliness. It arouses one's contempt to see a big man, & man born for blg things, doing small, mean, contemptible things. There are some things we can almost excuse tn a little, weak, puny, weazened man, that would be an unpardonable sin for a big man. We can forgive Zaocheus for climbing a tree in order to catch a glimpse of Jesue. but we cannot forgive Saul for crawling into a hole and pulling the camp luggage In after him. Before we get him out, now that we know where e 18, let me refresh your memory. (First) 1 do not ltke his anceetry. His father was a man of wealth and of power. He ard his son had no thought | | | 1 on “Hidden Among the \ about things which counted most in life; they were too busy breeding asses to think mch about the hope of Isrmel and who the God that made the nation was in all the years that Samuel ruled the nation, and stood as God's representative, £aul never heard of him, didn't know him. had never met him. Kish, Baul'a father. never sald, “Come, my son, the | Lord's prophet is to pass, let us listen to his words, hear his judgments.” Rasy on Farm. No; Kish was too busy with his stock farm. He never went to church on Sun- day! that was the day he looked over the stock. He cared more for his farm stock than for God's tabernacle. Sunday was a good time to plan and figure up, but he never solved the problem “What shall It profit a man If he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" The descendants of Kish are like many who live on the streets in this and every other town, too busy six days a week to think of souls, and on the seventh they say, “Too tired to go to church today,” so they get a paper, fill their pipe, put on their siippers and sit down Wly by while people are gong down to hell. They grow sodden and surfeited by the mercies of God, they spurn Christ and purity. Ob, Kish, breeder of asses, too busy to €0 to church, let me show you a som. 1 passed over Gilboa, marked the place where he fell a suleide. The Philisiines cut off his head and nailed his body to the wall. Here is & young scfon of respectability, staggering along with bolsterous mates, blowing whiffs of foul clgaretts smoke into the faces of decency. Somewhere there's a mother's halr whitening with grief over a wayward son, but he has had a taste of hell's pol<onous broth, his blocd is tingling with the virus of damna- tion. with which he has been Inoculated in the cesspools of shame; to him a mothat’s love, to him a father's: hope, a sister's tears are as nothing. He has passed the rubicon of virtue, and the bridge has been burned behind him, [ O)-Fushioned Mothers Vanixhi There goes & fallen angel, once the pure, beloved idol of a happy home: out of her eyes vanished gentle modesty, once her eweetest charm. In Its place has come & | look of bold intensity, glittering glare, which resembles the deadly gleam In the eyes of the sinuous snake as It colis to strike its prey. She loved not wisely but too well. Clinging hands could not stay the mad fight down the toboggan into hell. | She has thrown away all that was dear ' to woman's pure ambition. The world | knows her only as one to avoid. Re- spectability pulls its garments aside as | she passes. Her gaudy raiment and se- ductive glances attract none but the de- oraved. { My hope and prayer is that some of the fathers and mothers who may be listen- Ing to me tonight will not live to read the black headlines which will tell of the shame of children whose bodies they have nourished, but whose souls have heen starved in thelr own pariors. Thank God there are still a few old-fashioned mothers left, but, like the veterans of the ! civil war. they are becoming & vanishing remnant. Saul was called to a crown, but was fofina hidden among the stuff. You may say the reason he hid is because he was #o modest. Perhaps that may be, but it's an awful thing for & man to be as modest as that when he stands face to face with the duties and hardships of this lfe. | 1 can tell you what your life is going to be by the way you start. When we! have to do common thengs is when the yellow shows In you, if you have a streak of it. Judging Saul by his after lite, I am; compelied to view his act as that of & man shirking from toll, because It was | strenuous and difficult. It was not a | breakfast job to be king of lsrael. It| was almost as Lig a task as belng presi- | fent of Mexico. I There are mountains to climb, there are hills and precipices, cataracts, cav-| erns and pitfalls and slime pits all along; the way, but it Is also true there are shady valleys, cozy nooks. gardens of | flowers and days radiant with the sun-! light. There will be storms and clouds, | there will be days when the cares and sorrows will press heavily and almost | erush us into the grave: there are steeps to climb If we ever reach the pinnacle of success; there are streams to ford if we would grasp the crown of victory., | Need Enrrest Men and Pare Women, | The spirit that actuated Saul controls' many splendid men, who have in them the making of better King Bauls, rulng over a greater kingdom than he ruled, but they are “hiding themselves among the stuft.” | They are hiding behind stocks, bonds, | dry goods. politics, infidelity, Impurity, | whisky, beer bottles, Sunday base ball ; golf and @ host of other things. Thelr genuineness, nobility and integrity are | lost In the search for fortume. Don't nn} lost in the stuff. We want young men, men who will ®e courageous and chivalrous, manly and thoughtful, who can say NO anw mean it, who will love their homes better than the street, who respect wemanhood and hate vice In any form, who love the Bible more than billlards, virtue more; than vice. We want girls who form lofty ideals of womanhood, who think more of de- ctncy than dress, gentleness than gross- nesa, who will grow up to be good wo- Friday | men, loyal wives and fond mothers, who {well as fudge, who ocan smile sweetly | think more of firmness than folly cradles than cards, who do not despise the kitchen, who oan make bread as At home as well as on the street, who can distingwish & gentlemen from a scoundrel, who prefers a workingman for a husband | rather than a loafer or a dude.
