REV. C. C. RARICK OF FIRST METHO
DIST CHURCH WRITES SERMON
FOR ASTORIAN READERS USES
AS THEME "CHARACTER."
The following is a Sunday morning
sermon written for Astorian readers by
Rev. C. C Rarick of the First Methodist
church, on the subject of "Character";
Dying. Horace Greeley said, "Fame is
a vapor, popularity an accident, riches
takes wings, those who cheer you today
will curse you tomorrow, only one thing
endures character."
These words bid us all remember that
life's great task is the making of man
hood. What we are is the result of the
events of the past the entirety of our
previous years packed and crystalized
into the present moment. What we are
going to be, depends on how we are go
ing to use the events of the future. We

are making character day by day. We
are weaving into the warp and woof of
our lives, for weal or woe, the thoughts
and motives of yesterday and today.
WorM ia Life's Teacher.
Life's first teacher is the external
world. Man begins at aero. The child
thrust it finger in the fire and is
burned, henceforth he learns to restrain
himelf in the presence of fire. The child
mistakes the height of stairs, and fall
ing, hard knocks teach him the nature
of gravity. In school he learns that
others have rights as well as he.
Temptation is another teacher.
Temptation comes to all of us. If H
overcomes us we are weaker for the
fight tomorrow, if we overcome it we are
stronger in the coming battle. If we
fail the advice of one who has resisted
and overcome encourages us to again
try. It is a good thing to have beside
us the tried veteran when the battle is
hard or goes against us. Jesus who was
tried in all points as we are was more
than conqueror. We have his promise,
"I will never leave thee nor forsake
thee."
Napoleon always kept the "Old guard"
in reserve and when the crisis came,
those veterans turned the tide of war.
At Waterloo the "Old Guard" was
sent to the front to try and save the
day. The battle was already lost, but
the veterans of many battles stood and
died because they did not know how to
retreat They had been tried and
tempered against the day of danger.
St. Paul is a hero, the victor in many
great battles. He tested the promise of
the Master "Lo, I am with you al
ways." and never failed. Having con-
ouered he gives us this assurance. "There
hath no temptation taken you but Buch
as is common to man; but God is faith
ful, who will not suffer you to be tempt
ed above that you are able; but will
with the temptation also make a way
to escape, that ye may be able to bear
it," I. Cor. 10:13.
Responsibility Teaches Righteousness
responsibility is a teacher of right-
eouness. Our responsibility ceases when
we do our duty. All of us have a duty
to perform. It is ours too, none can do
it for us. Skill comes after repeated
efforts along one line. We are fitted for
liighef tasks by doing the tasks at our
hand.
Responsibility throws us on our own
resources and we sink or swim according
as we are true or false to our Re
sponsibility brings out our best gifts.
We had failed, had not responsibility
been ballast to keep us from capizing,
when the storms of idleness and pleas
ure tempted us.
Afonotonv teaches us strength. W e do
tasks because we have them to do. The
daily grind of a nation's life is what
keeps it steady. We can depend upon
others and ourselves to do tomorrow
hat has to be done over and over.
Tonight along our long seaboard, light
house keepers will be faithful and many
warning lights will shine. Tomorrow
the miners will go down, and in the
darkness find us light and and heat.
Tomorrow the railroad men will do
what they have done very often. Thus
the commerce of the nation is main
tained.
Books shape character very largely.
This nation, more than any other, is
moved by the printing press. Tell us
the book vou are reading, tel us what
kind of literature you are fond of, and
we will tell vou what you are. The book
that is easy to read is as a rule not
helpful. The careful seeker after trutft
chooses his books as he would his
friends after trial and assurance.
Christ Factor in Character.
Christ enters more largely into char
acter making than any other factor. If
we were seeking to build a moral struc
ture to pass the judgment and scrutiny
of man we might leave Christ out; but
the test of character comes when Cod
the Judge passes sentence on the soul.
The miner at the edge of the mountain
stream. roicks his pan and separates
rock and sand and particles until only
the specks of gold remain. God, the
ereat seeker after truth washes our
souls from the dirt and sediment of
earth. Only the pure gold is fit for the
temple. -- . . . ...
Guard the character well. You can
dash it to pieces in a moment so that
you can never reclaim it again. The
citadel of your heart is yours to Keep
