The >ong service at tho Methodist
church was carried through with spi;i’
last evening notwithstanding the tatt
that those who had so ably as isted a*
the recent services were neces.ai y
absent.
Pev. Cooks subject for tho evening
talk was “The Relation between Busi
ness and Religion.” The scripture le-**
son was the twelfth chapter of Rom
ans- and the text the eleventh verse.
“In diligence not slothful; fervent in
spirit; serving tho Lord.”
Rev. Cook said; “It is the idle pee
pie for the most part that cause tum
ble and create disturbance in the world
hence we are told* in the language <»•
King James’ version to be diligent ir.
business.
“The statement has often been
made.” said Rev. Cook- “that business
cannot be conducted in accordant-*
with the principles of religion •*' *
taught to us in the \ev Test arm uL
The statement is false* thougu it
true* unfortunately and to the d de
ment of all true progress, that busi
ness has often been conducted on other
than Christian principles. More a- !
more has it become true, however* that
business men who believe in ( hiistieu
principles and tlm application of them
to business affairs, are the promint »»t
supporters of religious denominate..*'
and are working toward the federation
of churches in order that tho religious
work may be carried forward on bust
ness principles.”
Rev. Cook also said: “that his men
of service to the l.ord consists in do
ing to the best of one’s ability what
ever one has to do. and in living up to
what one feels deep in the hea’t is
the best thing to he done, and in >0
doing one finds iov in business and no
regrets at the end of the day. The ex
hortation to be diligent in business;
fervent in spirit; serving the Lord* is
not an impracticable, idealistic scheme
hut a plain statement ot good business
principles."
