"A man' appetite ia hi bosa," said
Bev. Geo. D. Castes, in preaching at

the subject ot "Who'l Your Bossl"
"It may not necessarily he his physical
appetite,' the paitor continued, "but it
it the dominating purpose of his life
a purpose for which tha individual
alone is, responsible."
Mr. Sates based hit tarrnoa on He
brews 12:10-17. These verses call at

told kit birthright for a morsel of

"How like Esau," tha preacher said,
"do many people for on moment of
pleasure at the present Time throw
nway their privilege ef inheriting
eternal life.
"Preaehera from tha pulpit each Sun
