appeal for Christian living It ft is not merely a question of or your own well being but the destiny of those whom you influence once encl You stamp your our moral imprint on men every everyday day and when you ou start an evil eyll going you can never retract it IL You Thu can bury your body but not your our evil life Which way wa are you beading heading the men whom you OU Influence Personal Experience At 1 the ol boys bOY meeting Mr Smith talked on the subject s Half a Man His evening topic was The Other Men cn and was wa based upon the he story of or orthe I the rich young oung ruler who asked Christ what he should do to inherit eternal life Here was a young man who could outdo you In ethics and morality of life Ufe and yet Christ told him that he fell feU short declared Mr 1 Smith From Front this lesson Jesson the speaker drew several warnings The first was one to the themen themen themen men who are making the getting of money their dominant ambition He said It is not the amount of money that puts a man in danger Its value is de determined determIned determined by the environment in which he lives One man may be kept from God by b the greediness with which he strives to make 10 per week Its the thc spirit of money getting g which severs the connection between God and man manThis manThis manThis This however is the superficial warn warning warnIng warning ing of ot this lesson There is a deeper warning to the good moral man who ho says he believes many ethical things but notice that no standard of ot morals is equivalent to the appeal which God makes on your OUr life Ufe He does not want an intellectual belief He wants a life Ute absolutely ruled by Jesus Christ If you will live the life Ufe which God directs you OU will be satisfied even though at every milestone you record a worldly defeat The iThe Unanswered Question Mr r Smith digressed to tell ten the story of the rebuke which was administered to him when as a commercial traveler for the McCormick Harvester company compan he was having a hilarious time on board a railway train A crude country countr min rein minister minIster ister on board asked permission to put one question to Mr Smith which was Young Toung man why dont you ou live Uve like you expect to die Mr r Smith de declared declared dared This Is 15 a fair reasonable question and I venture that not a man manin manIn manin in Salt Lake City but who if the doctor tells him he can live Uve only hours would send for the preacher and pray like Jike a house afire In the last year I attended the bedside of four men supposed to be dying Three of them recovered and the tile rascals went on to live as wickedly as before Louis XIV of France and Tom Paine both prayed earnestly the last few days of their lives Why not be real rea men men and live Uve as we C expect to die You expect to die with your our face toward God why not be consistent and start now to live livo that way At the meeting mee this afternoon special music has been arranged for by b N X J Brines Bellies which will include a male quartette quartette quartette and a brass quintette The ship meetings which have added greatly to the Interest
