THE CROWN
• »•••••••
The choir of the Methodist church
rendered it* usual song service last
evening, notwithstanding the fact that
some who have been present were nec
essarily absent. Mr. Enberg’s voice
adds much to the service of the choir.
At the end of the church service it
was remarked by some who had not
often been in attendance- that th*
choir service was exceptionally good.
For a icripture lesson Rev. Cook
read the fifth chapter of the book of
Lamentations, a short hook consisting
of five poems credited to Jeremiah
and picturing the sorrows of the Jews
in captivity. For a text Rev. Cook took
thfW# words: “The crown is fallen
from our hand.”
ttev Cook then called attention to
the several things that might be sup
posed to be meant by the word- crown
auch- for instance- As wealth- Jtealtli
beauty- intellectual talent- all o/ which
desireable- but are not what the
writer of the poem meant by tie word
crown .-“ForVaaid Rev. Cook- “the,
writer of the- words of the text attri
butes the loss of the crown to the sins,
first of the fachers- and later to the
them generation, for he say*. “Woe un
to oat for we .have sin nee.*'
“The crown- aaal Rev. UooK* "is
iba Spirit of (iad that was breathed
into man at hi* creation and that lift*
ad hiss up and made him different
from the lower animals. The apir.t
that urges ua on to live not for selfish
•elite* entirely* but for the welfare
of the family* the community and for
the entire human family with the aim
wad purpose that justice piay be done
on the earth and righteousness pre
vail. This is the crown that Jeremiah
felt that his -people had lost* and ns
a consequence sorrows and humiliation
had come upon them and they had
been led into captivity.
. “The leason*” said Rev. Cook* “was
got for the Jews alone* not entirely
for the generations that have passed
and gone- but also for us who are now
taking our place in the community
life* even though it is a limited com
munity. The question for each of us
individually to ask is* am I losing the
crown mentioned in this old poem of
the Hebrew writer* is it slipping away
from me while my thoughts are occu
pied with a multitude of more selfish
interests T
“If the crown is lost,” said Rev.
Cook* “it can be recovered only from
the source whence it came.”
