Heading the l.'ith chapter of Genesis and using it as toxt and con text, the evangelist presented Lot and Abraham as two types of representative Christians of today. (Scathingly con demning Lot, the younger and stronger of the two, for his scheming designs on the goodnes anil generosity of the older and more devout Abram in his choice of the fertile fields of the Jordan; ex tolling Abram, with all his imperfec tions, as tho "friend of God" who erected altars of worship to the Lord wherever he sojourned, Mr. Squires most earnestly and eloquently appealed to all parents for the erection of family altars in their homes and the Christian training of their children. Saying that Lot chose jKJwer, influence and fortune in the valleys bf the Jordan, he had Sodom for his family, Sodomites for his daughters' husbands and Sodom wives for his sons, and asking the young peo ple what their choice would be. "Young man, will you go to the ball-room for an insipid butterfly ojf fashion and so ciety, or will you choose a God-fearing young woman for a life partner and helpmeet Young woman, will you choose a young man for tho ease and comfort he can bring you or will you choose one of character who is a God fearing man for a husbaudt The choos ing by you of your life companions' will be . tho most important step of your lives. A wrong choice may rob you of your faith in God." Squires Shrapnel from the Sermon. "Our young peoplo wander away be cause they see so much inconsistency in their parents. " "Lot's children laughed him to scorn for his warning from God because of his inconsistency as an influential offi cial of Sodom. " "Advocates of a wide open town go to Sodom.
