"Chased Ont . of the World, With
Bloodhounds on' Tour' Trail," mas the
subject Of Pr. Brougher last wight at
th Whits Temple.-, He found bis test
In Job. xvtll:ls---"He ehsH bs dricen
" frem light Into darkness nd shall h
- rhaaad out of ths- world." To Illustrate
tha text, tha pastor took the story af
the cvwr and death of .Desperado
rrank Smith. He 'said In part:
"Outward conditions .. and . circum
stance mar have a great daal to do
with moulding our lives, but It Is also
true that a man naed not be tn erea
tura of circumstances. Tha spirit
within him Is the rtontrolling Influence
that will decide his icareer ana oesriny.
-If wo would look for the things that
.. made. Cain a murderer we 'noit look
within the man and earn tha spirit that
" controlled him.'
. 'Plrat of all, wae the spirit at
willful disobedience and selfishness. God
said to Cain. 'If thou doest well, thou
shalt be accepted, but If thou deeat not
well, sin eroucheth at tha door.T It was
willful ain that held teontrol of the heart
of Cain which led to. a willful, and tnex
', cusaole crime. There1 Is do spirit today
so dangerous to thf , home, to society
and the state il l selnsh, willful spirit
that regard neither God nor man. but
imply looks out for Itself. Thta Is tha
spirit that must, be conquered in our
children. Eren In tha - nursery little
Cain must bare bla way: Little Abel

anemias or anyone alee who atanda in
our way. The sin of selfishness, nncon

"Second, tha spirit of Cain was tha
spirit of unforglveoess,- born- of pride.
The most difficult thing to do in thta
nesrnUTJust fiTEard for us to sc-
. knowledge wo are wrong and sack for
glreneaa. I have known people to lira
within a hundred yards of each other
for years without- peaking. - They had
' had a - tittle misunderstanding neither
was willing to make It right; Meral
of tha suae family, and -members of
- the same church, are frequently en-
Slaved by the same spirit. KetMng-ts
mere d Iffieult -to -overcome. . Buck- -a
spirit ia bound to Injure the one-who
harbors It, and If permitted to get con
trol of one's Ufa .may result in actual
murder.
. The spirit' of Cain was tha spirit of
- JoeJousyJwrn- of- conscious inferiority.
. Cain was Jealous of.AbeL Ha waa con-
scious of bla own meanness and Jealous
of Abel's goodness. He was conscious
Of. his own. Inferiority, and of Abel's
superiority. Jealousy killed Abel and It
will continue to kill him to tha and of
the world. Tha man who lost ths prise
- will atab tha one who got It- Tha singer
who Is not popular will anear at tha
one who la, and a sneer may be raur-
' der. . Tha preacher who can't get a
crowd. If he become Jealous, will- con
demn tha preacher who does get one.
The-woman -who- has little beauty will
,r slander the one who has.' Success and
popularity must pay the price of being
murdered by some jealous, spiteful, con-
temptlble neighbor. A sneer, . a shrug
of the shoulder, a significant look, a
alighting remark, may be used by Jeal
eusy t- aaurder-e brethf-r- or-a- stater.
History prove that Jealousy will lead
,. to almost any crime. It crucified Jesus
Christ. It Is the spur,' as another haa
. said, "with which the devil rides tha
.'noblest tempers and will do mora work
with them In a week than with other
