'' This sermon shall be about con science. -There is a very great mis take generally held as to the value of the conscience. ,Men talk as if their consciences were the voice of God himself, surely and certainly guiding them in the ways of truth and right eousness. Now, as a matter of fact, no such honor is give.i the conscience SOUTHER SATURDAY SERMON T$jcf man in the.Bible. We are no- v. here told by JeSus to follow cur , consciences, but to follow nim. ine ; human conscience is fallible and ig- tiorant and dangerous, like all other human things.' The conscience is no more likely to be right than the rea son, or human memory, or instinct, or human affection, They all are unsafe guides. Here are soma of the faults and failings of the conscience 1, Our consciences may tell us to do things contrary to all principles of mercy and justice. Conscience drove men in old times to persecute by torture and death those whose re ligioas opinions differed from theirs. Sometimes our conscience tells us to do right, but it is quite as apt to tell us to do wrong, ' Conscience is capricious, petty, absurd. Once, in an Alabama town, I was walking down the street with one of the Protestant preachers, and we met the Roman Catholic priest, said, "Good morning, Father Hog- aiv" but the preacher said very em phatically, "Good morning, Mister Hogan." The priest turned red as a beet, and looked at the preacher like he was a water moccasin. ' As he went on I asked him why did he not call Father Hogan by his title, and he said his' conscience would not per mit him to call any man Father '.'Well," I said, "you hurt his feel ings by it. Why not refrain from calling him anything at all; just do not speak to him when you pass. "No," he Replied, "my conscience will not Jet me pass a man without speaking to him." He was a man of very brilliant mind, but his consci ence certainly was a big dunce. 3. Conscience will drive you in a corner and give you the mischief no matter what course you take. For instance, suppose'a beggar comes to your door and asks for money. If you give him money, your conscience reproaches you for letting yourself be an easy mark, and for encouraging a rascal in hjs laziness and vagrancy, andtells you that you ought to have saved that money for some really de serving person. But if on the other hand you refuse to give him anything your conscience lays you out like fury for turning the poor man away, and calls you a tightwad, and asks you how would like in your hour of need to be treated that -way,' and makes you feel so bad you do not know what to do. Or again, when, one of your children is guilty of some fault, you must either punish him or not, one or the other. If you whip him, yur conscience makes you feel like a dog for jumping on a poor lit tle boy and beating him just because you were bitrger than he was. But if you do not whip him, the same miserable conscience , abuses you scandalously for not doing your duty by your child, and training him up right, 4. Conscience will be powerful par ticular with you in some little thing that does not amount to a row of pins, and be powerful"easy in some matter that is very serious. For in stance, I know a man whose consci ence would not let him read prayers out of a book, but never once both ered Mm about-drinking and gamb. ling. I knew a man once who killed a good man without any provocation, and his conscience never troubled him at all for it. Yet, he sent me some postage stamps that he had bor rowed from me two years back, be cause his conscience would not let him rest about it The fact is, in conclusion, that we have not within ourselves any wise, safe and certain guide to righteous ness or peace. If we trust to our natural consciences, they may land us in jail, or in hell. What we need is Gcd, who never fails, to guide and strengthen and control us. Let Christ, not your conscience, rule your conduct Take the .Holy Ghost. into your life and submit to His guidance. : .

Russia's ability to export raw materials in the near future has been greatly overes timated, by foreign countries in the opinion of Colonel B. Englehard," for merly a member of the Russian Duma and a student of economic conditions in Russia before and after the revo lution. In a' talk with the Associated! Prfess correspondent he said that for eigners seem to fail to realize the collapse of the Russian transporta tion systems, reduced manpower and rundown condition of the JRussian farm lands. This comment was evoked by re ports of the negotiations of Russian economic agents with Premier Lloyd George in London and the announce ment that the United States had lift ed prohibitions upon American trade with Soviet Rusisa. .Colonel Englehard is confident that Russia will again play an important role in European markets, but, he said, "the' revival of Russian trade will not come until there Shall be es tablished a normal state of life when men shall renounce attempts of es tablishing immediately, the paradise of communism."
