X-Rays Subject of Sermon 
At the Congregational church, Man- 
chestei, last Sunday morning Rev. L. 
H. Ruge preached a strong and _ helpful 
sermon on ‘‘ X-Rays, ’’ taking his text 
from Gen. 16:13, ‘‘Thou, God, seest 
me.” 
Mr. Ruge pointed out that the real 
man is never seen, neither in the social 
world, nor in business or domestic life; 
but no man can escape the penetrating 
eye of the Almighty. Following are a 
few excerpts from his sermon: 
“© There may be many hardshipsin your 
life and mine; there may be many duties 
for us to perform, but we cannot escape 
these without the presence of Almighty 
God.’’ 
“Social refinement and culture is a 
beautiful thing, but you and I do not see 
the real man underneath.’’ 
““The mean little microbe of ma- 
licious judgment of reform is in the air 
today. Lots of penny-a-line scribblers 
in the magazines today are writing on re- 
form and every man, good, bad, or in- 
different, comes under the venom of his 
pen. Iam tired of it.’’ . 
“Tt is a vandal stroke, indeed, that 
shatters the home ideals.’’ 
““We are forever adjusting the lens of 
the camera of self-esteem.”’ 
““ Could we see ourselves, not as others 
see us, for they never see us, but as God 
sees us. He knows us and sees us 
through and through.”’ 
** As the physician turns the X-Rays 
machine on your body that he may reveal 
the cause of the disorder, so He turns his 
eyes on us and:sees into our very soul. 
The X-Rays reveals what is hidden in 
an opaque object; so God’s eye pene- 
trates these coverings which hide our 
social, business and domestic life, and 
these coverings are transparent to the eye 
of Almighty God.’’ 
“*Life may be a round of severe duty; 
others may misjudge, but He reads aright. 
Hethat placed you in this field,—He 
knows it all. Live innocently, God is 
here. Knowing all, he forgives all.’’ 
_ The attendance at both the morning 
and evening services was larger than 
usual, many accepting the special invi- 
tation given by the pastor to attend the 
services. In the evening Mr. Ruge 
preached on “‘ In the Myrtle Groves of 
Venus.’’
