Knight said; "As we live our lives in the presence of God, we come to Know tnai lire is sacrea. We speak of sacred history afid profane history; I do not like the dis tinction. But lives are sacred, and lives are profane. A sacred life is a life that realizes that the soul is the temple of God, and a profane life, Is a life that Is lived without this concep tion. The word proTane is from two Latin words, 'pro which means 'before, and which means 'a so profane is literally 'before the The temple Itself was a sa cred enclosure In which no one could p-n oropnt thoRA who were nrenared.

but pro faniiB, before the temple, out beyond 'the temple, any one might trample; the unworthy, the unfit, the dogs," the swine, the wild beasts. You see the difference between your life sacred, making your soul an altar to the Most High, making your heart a holy temple and letting your life, on the other hand, be profane. Do you not see that the flrstjife Is a life guarded, is a soul which may not be trampled upon by greed, and appetite, and lust and materialism, and sin and weakness? Do you not see that the other 41fe is a life that is eVer open, unguarded, where the lusts of the flesh may walk and the dogs and swine may live? What I am asking this, morning is that our lives may not be profane, but sacred that they may be lived before His altai and in His presence; that they may be lived as in the sight of Almighty God.

The people now understand they must obey without Question any command of either Huerta or tMaz, or suffer quick and sure punishment.
