GOD'S GREAT
GENEROSITY
MAN SHOULD FEAR IT, SAYS
BEV. J. H. ODELIi.
In a Sermon Delivered Last Night In
the Second Presbyterian Church,
Ho Declared That God Deals Too
Lavishly with Man in Allowing
Him the Fulfilment of&.ll His De
siies Success Without the Attain
ment of .Chniacter Is Valueless, Ho
Said.
Itr. Jotph 11. Odell, pastor of the
""eeoiid Presbyterian chinch, delivered
. sermon Inst nlht bcfoic it liurtlcu
tiiily large congregation on "The Ti ne
edy of Success" bailing his remarks on
n text taken from the tialm, "He save
them their own deslics." He npoke, In
part, aa follows:
I nm nftnld of the Roiioinilty ot dotl.
Our lathers wetu afialil il tlto nnnwwiotii
of God but I am uftnltl of tlio broadnem
of God because lie la so lavish, so al
most recklessly laHh. 11 hi ems aa If It
would ho better If Ood wero not o Kem-r-ns
and If Ho would not fulfill our dt
slip?. It ucemi to me sometimes us If It
would bo better If God would take away
our deslics entltely. I.lfo would then be
&o much simpler.
How much hotter It would be If llo
would treat us ns the mother tie.its the
(hlld and not pinto ovei thing within
our leneh. How imich better If He tieat
d a") as tha doctor tieatM lili patients
telling them what things aie bid and
linimful. God It too Bcneimis for our
good. If He weie only less kind.
If Ho restricted Ills Rifts and nurinucil
the opportunities for ell life would be
much blmpler but that Is not God's a..
Gave Us a Mind.
God hns Risen us a mind and placed
ftithln It eveiy power for good, but wo
tn.iv line tho ehiunbcis of Its Imagery
with plctuies ot lut and corruption and
wo may ue It to plan to 10b tho help
less and to ciush the weak. Why has
He been ho lavish? Why has Ho not
Riven us a mind capable of thinking only
good thoughts and of planning only acts
of benevolence nnl love.'
Ood has given us bodies which are pet
fc t organisms, sensitive to tho weakest
touch and vet strong enough to bear tho
burdtn of jeais. These bodies arc capable
of piodlgles of lrluous labor and t
they can be pen cited Into menas of sen
suous sensation nnd ot satisfaction of tho
most evil desiies.
God hns gien us souls thnt can hold
up io ns visions of the Almighty; souls
that may become the homes of i Mtlng
angels: souls that may be the cradles ot
immortal gloiy or motgucs in which dead
htucs lie almost past identification,
ea veritable pi Isons in w hich noble pow
ers havo rettled Into ruin and decnv,
souls like sacked cities in which gems and
art treasures nro trampled In the mud.
Why has not God given us a door to our
rouls to k'zep out nil o it?
God will fulfill mv desire. My wildest
tlrmtn may come tiue. All the loads In
this nst unlvei-o arc open to mo to
walk upon. I ni.iv pluck anv flower or
ntiv fruit tint grows .along tho wasido
but pome nre poisonous and killing. I
m iv live in nnv placn In nuv home I
I-h but som" are haunted and when once
in thcio Is no way out
We May Keach Our Ideal.
Do ou not fear, then, Gods geneiositvV
He ghfs us all our desires. It is true
i. a general imposition that eerjthlng
lithin tho limit of possibility which wo
liwv strip for is attainable .and that wo
nay. if we will, leach our idinl. Thero
aie a. few things that mn hae Miugnt
for and not found 1 crauso they do not
txlM. Men have sought the philosophers
'lone and the elKir of life and tho lind
if Utopia nnd havo not found them be-
nuse thse things aie not, but ns n gen
ei.il rule men may Unci what tliev seel:
nnd mav satisfy their deciles Wheio
they do not it is ilthci because they do
not stilvo or because they do not use
piopeily the means at their disposal,
Ttev. Mr. Odell at this point cited at
length examples fiom history to piovo
this general rule showing; how penni
less waifs have iien to be men of
wealth and power and how peasants
have become ompeiors nnd laboreiu
popes. Continuing he said:
Thl3 is the tiagedv of success. The
mere fact thnt men mav attain their de
sires has nothing to do with the value ot
tha things attaint d. Tt is ns easy to nt
tnin the success which Is aluelcs as to
attain tho success which is valuable.
"We mav succeed but oui success
may bo tho most pitiful failuie wo eoulu
ever possibly realize
Judas succeeded. He wauled his thhly
pieces of sliver nnd ho obtained them
but ha counted not tho consequences ot
his act He obtained his thirty pieces of
bllver but he betrayed Clnlst and turned
his conscience Into a hill. Ho won suc
cess but men hato and &coin nnd lovilo
him.
Are Our Desiies Hight.
We may rcall70 our ideals but aie our
desires light. Will their attainment pay?
God Is terribly geneious In ghlng us tho
sower to attain our every deslio that wo
rhould examine ouiselve.s and range tiom
our minds all unholy desires. Success Is
i nay it wo bend all our enemies towards
Jtfi attainment but Is It woith whllo to
gain success without lovo nnd its tians
mutlng power?
Wo can got wealth If wo pay tho price,
I feel confident that I could go out into
the world tomorrow and obtain ilclies but
what would they be worth if In getting
them I paid no attention to thataeter. It
3 sought not to obtain thnt diameter
ngalnst which tho tides of public opinion
might bent and leavo unharmed: that
character which the foi tunes of war can.
not dtpieclato nnd which even tho sabia
wing of death cannot shadow.
It behooves us, then, to scrutinize care
fully with a vlnw to our best Interests
ever thing that bids for our attention ns
n deslio to bo attained if wc would wla
Miccess nnd to test and measuio it for
It may contain tho germ of the. veiy deep
est and darkest failure.
Wlv-ii wo havo maelu this examination
t Is for ns to mako up our minds n.s to
nhat Iduils aro woith following nnd what
una is aie worth strMng for and when wo
liavo found tho desiies which will bo

DON'T DELAY.
It is" Putting Off "Till Some
Other Day that Causes so
Many Sudden Deaths.
If its for tho kidneys, liver, bladder or
blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia, chronic
constipation, or the weaknesses peculiar
to women, the most efficient medicino
known to tho medical profession is Dr.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and
a very simple way to find out if you need
it, Is to put some urine in a glass tumbler
and let it stand 24 hours ; if it has a sedi
ment or a milky, cloudy appeal ance, if it
Is ropy or stringy, pale or discolored, you
do not need a physician to tell you that
your kidneys and bladder nte badly
affected.
The Rev. Theodore Hunter, pastor of
the Presbyterian Church, Giecnsburg,
Ky wiitesus the following:
"It gives mo much pleasure to stato
that 1 have received great benefit
from the use of Dr. David Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy. Some time ago I
had a severe attack of kidney troublo,
butafowbottlcsof 'Favorite Remedy'
have entirely removed the malady."
"Favorite Rcmeely" speedily cuies
such dangerous symptoms as pain in tho
back, frequent desire to urinate.especially
at night, burning bcaldlngp.iininpassing
water, thestainingofliueii by your urine.
