NO MAN BEYOND DANGER
Pitfalls of Corruption Always Before
Us, Says Dr. Delk
"No man Is bejond the danger of cor
ruption of the soul " declared the Ite
Dr. Edwin Heyl Delk In a Lenten sermon
today at the First Presbjterlan Church
"The filth of life," said Doctor Delk.
"comes in a subtle manner in persons,
pictures, poems, philosophies and com-
promising positions Reputation and even
character are sensitive things that respond
to environment Like some salient, the
good soldier of Jesus Christ must keep
himself untouched by the enemy of his
soul. He must abhor evil, cleave to that
which Is good, have plenty to do and
pray for the clean heart
"Pure religion Is not half-pagan In Its
conception of God, cults and sacraments
Pure religion does not lay the first stress
on confessions and theology. Pure reli
gion is to visit the fatherless and, widows
in their affliction and to keep oneself un
spotted from the world "
