WEEKLY SERMONET

M inisters
The Majesty of Service
By Rev. W. H. Wakefield
Read St. Matthew 20:2-28.
Text, Genesis 1:28, "Have thou
dominion."
The golden age of the human
race will be that period when man
renders the highest possible serv
ice to this wofld. Man is the great
object of all teaching and all en
deavor. He was made just a little
lower than the angels and endow
, ed with dominion over the in
habitants of land, sea and air,
also, over death itself. God in
his son,'Jesus Christ, our Lord and
Saviour, has made all this possible
if through faith we accept Him
as He offers Himself to us. It is
a great thing to be a man. Flowers
are beautiful, the mountains are
gigantic, oceans are deep .material
wealth is powerful .diamonds are
truly jewels, yet I would rath
er be a man than be any. of these
things. To get a true conception of
what man's value is one must look
beyond the material values which
man so often judges himself by
A man can be measured only by
himself in his relation to his Gocf.
1. He is more valuable than any
thing he has ever acquired. Thom
as Edison knew this for he said
he could make diamonds at five
dollars per pound but he was too
busy. I bad a neighbor (ju.st i\
fellow next door) who thought
only of making money the easy
way, by gambling. He spent his
full life acquiring his living this
way. When Sam died he was
worthless for he never left even
a good name. He was worthless
while he lived for the greatest
value to him was selfishness.
2. Man is more valuable than
anything he has ever organized
All that man has organized may be
rightly put under four heads:
law, government, society, and bus
iness. Unless he is big enough to
obey, loyal enough to be patriotic,
friendly enough to be sociable and
courageous enough to work, he

amounts to but little.
j 3. Man is more valuable than
anything he has ever achieved.
"Have thou dominion." Mr. man,
pry into the secrets of nature and
expound them and your result
will be, science. Lay hold of these
i forces of nature and employ them,
and you have art. Possess them
and enjoy them, and you have
. culture. These tnree ? science,
j art, culture ? make up the unit
t of civilization, and the difference
I in man in his two distinct posi
tions in life is marked by the way
| ne carries out his command: "Have
j thou dominion," whether he uses
these for the benefit of civiliza
ion or whether he destroys it.
About one hundred years ago
there was one who actually serv
ed. He came out of Maryland, made
j his way over the Allegheny mount,
j ains and settled in Indiana. He
! spent fifty years in a one teacher
I school on a salary ot $30.00 p.r
J month and boarded around a
| mung the * pupils. He would call
j the ill clad, shaggy headed, young
I lellows around him and talk to
them about The Majesty of Ser
vice. There were Tom and Ad, Ol
and'Lew. He taugnt t.'.em to be
| Honorable, uprignt. and good cit
izens. That oiu man died a lew
ye..rs ago in t ie city ot' Indiana
pci.s, with a mortgage on nis
nome. In all his liie he had not
j accumulated as much as S3,000.
But he left a wealth..? a fortune
( hi lives. He was Samuel K. Hos
j ..our. But that old gentleman liv
ed long enougn to see little Ol
J time out ol obscurity and rags and
I stand in the Senate Chamber of
i the United States as Oliver P.
j Morton, and there make the
j wcrld tremble witn his words of
, human liberty. There was little
( Tom who climbed the dizzy lad
der of lame and took the second
^ Highest seat which our govern
| ment offers a man, Thomas A.
Hennricks, vice-president of the
I United States. If you would like
to follow the fortunes of Lew,
then take down the manuscript
i and read his Ben Hur, and you
will know Left Wallace and Ad
dison C. Harris. The hoosier school
master was there at the making
of tnese boys into men. He heard
! ihe command, "Have thou Dom
inion."
"in having all things and not
Thee, what have I?
[_ Not having Thee, what have my
labours got?
Let me enjoy but Tnee, what
further crave I?
And naving Thee alone, what
have I not?
I wish not sea. nor land, nor
would I be
Possessed of Heaven, Heaven
unpossessed of Thee;"

When a manufacturer produces a
car so obviously ahead ?f the
times as the Futuramic Oldsmo
bile, it's only natural that de
mand for that product should
break all records. Add to this
today's pent-up need for auto
mobiles?plus continuing short
ages of steel and other critical
materials?and you'll see why
we have a real problem on our
hands. We value the good will of
all our customers. We woilld like
to provide all our customers with
new Qldsmobile cars. But un
fortunately, this can't be done
overnight. That is why we are
taking this opportunity to re
affirm publicly our POLICIES
ON PRICES AND DELIVERIES.
We believe that under present
circumstances these policies con
stitute a sound basis for "fair
plav" to everybody. And we hope
that, on this basis, we may con
tinue to serve you.
