Price Preaches on “('heist and Environment.^ Lake Junaluska, Aug. 26.—Preaching at the opening service this morning of the Bible aud Evangelistic conference, I which is being held here during the last week of the Summer Assembly of tin* Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Ilev. Thurston H. Pi ice. widely known Methodist evangelist, said that man is born with good intentions, but that he has to tight constantly to keep from be ing overpowered by environment, which he accredited as the source of evil and luan't downfall. Rev. All*. Price was preaching on the subject "Christ and Environment.” His sermon was based on the text contaimyl in Luke 17:21. "The Kingdom of God Is AA’ithin You.” "From the first history of man we know anything about the tight has been a constant one between the inner man. who wants to live right, and the outward environment, which, brings constant pres sure on him, seeking to overthrow his every good intention," the evangelist said in beginning bis sermon, the first of a series extending through the conference. He gave a very pertinent illustration to this statement, saying. "Men are very much like rivers—nil rivers aud a large number of men are crooked, because they take the ’direction of least resistance.’ ” Rev. Air. Price attacked the movement "to Christianize the Social order" by the removal of obstacles to faith and the cre ating of an environment in which it is easy for a person to be a Christian. lie termed the apostles of this moveiqVut as "apologists for sin and failure” and said, that it is impracticable. "That line of teaching.” he declared, ‘‘might be fairly good, if we could all have our environment just about perfect and in every way to our advantage, but the colil flooded facts in the case are that I most lif us must take our environment just about as we find it day after day, ■and unless we find A power of the inner ' life that will rise above and prove [stronger than this outward pressure, j most of us are doomed to failure along ’moral and religious lines. I believe I would be the last man here to umler-es timate the value of good environment, or [the danger of bad environment, b”* I am pleading today for a vision of the ,‘Power of the Kingdom of God within man' that will make him absolutely the master of hiVs environment, instead of a self-confessed slave to it. ‘‘lt has been the observation of all real-thinking Christian leaders that it is impossible to ‘Christianize the social or der' with non-Christian men aud women. lAn nil regenerated individual will never 'practice the Christian conduct that would make a Christian social order. | "We have many so-called ‘Christian Reformers' who would teach us that ! character is formed by the company we I keep and l would not question the in fluence of bail company. But there is a vast difference between the company we choose to keep and the company that we are all forced to mix and mingle with. They tell us that character is moulded by a man's occupation or by where lie works. Now do not get me wrong here; I believe firmly in proper working con 'ditious for all men and for reasonable hours of labor. 1 believe firmly that the eight hour day is long enough for any I man to work, if he is really to>, live and :iot merely exi**L However, the' fact re mains that the most Godless set are those who do not work at all. and many of our best Christian men and women work hard for long hours, much too long, 'many of them. No man's work, if it be I honest, need retard the making of a great character. "They tell us also that it must largely depend ou where a man lives. They Htafce much of the ‘give him a beautiful little bungalow with a rosebud in front and a garden in the rear.' That would he fine for every man. I am sure, but I have worked in that section of the coun try where there are more such homes anil fewer hovels and tenement houses than most anywhere—and 1 have found there more real down-right Godlessness to the square inch than any place else. | "They tell us it depends largely upon what you read and there is great truth in this, but saints often been illit erate, while great scholars oftep have I been the devil's own fiends. "Again they will tell you that what [counts most is what lie inherits, but God says, 'lf you have been born bit*!, you j may be born again.' 'The Kingdom of God is within you'—or it may be —and j when you keep tin* fires burning on this i inward altar, you can face all the pow er?* of earth and hell and come out every time 'the master of tlirougf' the power of the Kingdom withifi. ‘‘Christianize the Social order? Abso | lately, yes, always, everywhere, but citi zenship in God’s -Kingdom of redeemed souls is personal.’’ Hunger-Driven German Die From Eat ing Toadstools. Berlin, Aug. 30. —Aug. 30.—Nine members of one family dit*d today from eating wliat they thought were mush rooms, bringing the total deaths from this cause in Berlin within the last twenty-four hours to eighteen. Today's victims were a barber, nis wife and seven of hi* children. The two remaining children of she family are seriously ill. with little hope of recovery.' Similar cases have been reported re cently from various parts of Germany. They- are said by the authorities to be due indirectly to the high cost of vege tables, many townspeople going to the country in search of mushrooms and picking poisonous fungi by- mistake.
