One of the greatest moral sermons ever delivered from a pulpit, or elsewhere, was heard at the Pantaiges atre last Sunday morning, when the Rev. Elmer I. Goshen spoke upon Jealousy, one of the subjects in his presentation and study of complexes. ". The only regrettable part regarding his talk upon this most important subject is that every man, woman and child in this country did not hear it. Such a sermon should be broadcasted by radio in order that more people could be benefitted. Jealousy is responsible for nearly all our domestic troubles and it is jealousy which keeps our police courts and divorce courts working over time. Jealousy first installs suspicion into our hearts and then crime, especially when there is not a level headed person in the family. Understanding is what man needs in this world. Jealousy lives on suspicions and doubts. When once the mind is poisoned you cannot escape its venom.
