Sunday Tells of Man Who Went
Wrong; to Lead Others Straight
"Billy" Sunday preached on FrMtr
night on th topic, "Hiddoa Among th
fluff." Hald:
Tsst: I Sam. a, D-"Bhoi4. h hath
hid himself among th stuff."
It la with acme reluctance I speak
about how a man failed. 1 would much
rather tell you of tome a nnul aucoesa In
life, but somstlmr tha atudy of fallur
is mora fruitful than the atudy of oon
,'Jest. I am spnaklna; tonljrht with tha hop
that whero Saul wrnt -rong you'll go
rtpht, ao that whrn you are called to
be king or queen of that Inner kingdom
f men and of womm you may be one of
God's noblemen, and come to your coro
nation, not tike Paul, allowing the "stuff"
of the wor'.d to cover up klngllneea and
eupenl'neva.
It arouaea one contempt to a big
man, a man born for big thlnga, doing
small, mean, contemptible things. There
are some things we can a 1 moat excuse
In a little, weak. puny, weaxened man.
that would be an unpardonable sin for
a big man.
We ran forgive. Zaocheua for climbing
a tree In order to -catch a glimpse of
Jesus, but we cannot forgive Saul for
crawling Into a hole and pulling the
camp lugfrage In after him. Before we
get him out. now that we know where
l Is. let me refreah your memory.
(First) I do not Irk his ancestry. His
father was a man of wealth and of
power. He aid Ma son had no thought
about things which counted most In life:
they were too busy breeding asaea to
think much about, tha hope of Israel
and who the God that made tha nation
f. '
In all Uie years that Samuel ruled the
Yntl"n. and stood as Ood's representative.
Paul never heard f . him, didn't know
him. had never met him. Ktsh. Saul'n
father, never said, "Come, my son, the
Loid't prophet Is to tans, lot us listen
to his word, hear his Judgments."
Raay oa Farm.
No; Klfth was too busy with his stock
farm. He never went to church on Bun
day! that was the day he looked over
the stock.. He cared more for his farm
stock than for God'a tabernacle. Sunday
wss 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 K h are like many
who live on the streets In this and every
other town, too busy six days a week
tn 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 slippers and sit down
Idly by while people are go'ng down
to hell. Thry grow sodden and surfeited
by the mercies of God, they spurn Christ
and purity.
Oh, Kleh. breeder of asses, too busy to
go to church, let me show you a son.
I passed over Gllboa, marked the place
where he fell a suicide. The Philistines
cut off his head and nailed his body to
the wall.
Here Is a young scion of respectability,
staggering along with boisterous mates,
blowing whiffs of foul cigarette smoke
into the faces of decency. Somewhere
there's a mother's hair whitening with
trrlef over a wayward son, but he has
had a taste of hell's poisonous broth, his
blood Is tingling with the virus of damna
tion, with which he has been Inoculated
in the . cesspools of shame: to him a
mother's love, to him a father's' hope, a
sister's tears are as nothing. He has
passed the rublcon of virtue, and the
bridge has been burned behind hint, .- j
tM.Prhloiiel Mother VanUhlna-. I
' There goes a fallen angel, once the pure,
beloved Idol of a happy home: out of her
eyes vanished gentle modesty, once her
sweetest charm. In Its place has com a
look of bold Intensity, glittering glare,
which resembles the deadly gleam In the
eyes of the sinuous snake as It cots to
strike Its prey. .
She loved not wisely but too welt '
Clinging hands could not stay the mad
flight down the toboggan into hell. I
She has thrown away all that waa 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
praved. My hope and prayer la that soma 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
been starved In their own parlors. Thank
God there are still a few old-rashloned
, mothers left. but. like the veterans of the
civil war. they are becoming a vanishing
remnant.
Saul was called to a crown, but was
found hidden among the stuff. Tou may
say the reason he hid Is because he was
ao modest. Perhaps that may be, but
it's an awful thing for a man to be as
modest as that when he stands face to
face with the duties and hardships of;
this Ufa.
I can tell you what your life Is going'
to be by the wsy you start,' When we j
have to do common things la when the '
yellow shows In you, If you have a streak !
of it.
Judging Saul by his after life, I am
compelled to view his act as that of a
man shirking from toll, because It was
strenuous and difficult. It was not a
breakfast job to be king of Israel. It
was almost as tig a task as being presi
dent of Mexico.
There are mountains to climb, then
are hills and precipices, cataracts, oav-
rns and pitfalls and slim pits all along
tha way, but it is also true there are
ahady valleys, coxy 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
Borrows will press heavily and almost j
crush 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 tha crown of victory.

There are slaves of fashion, women
who are chained to the Moloch of pride
and vanity, all noble longings and am

the humbler joy of life are bitter ashes,
the quiet paths of domestio peac have
no charms tor them.
Others are chained to mammon. The

Remember thet "stuff" Is transient;
Chrtstlon manhood Is eternal. Samson
