Summary
This is one of nine sermons Earl Davis kept together in a string-bound collection. All but one are undated. The dated one comes with an envelope marked April 1, 1906. The other eight sermons were gathered together and hand-written on similar paper. Therefore, it is reasonable to date all of them from 1906, probably Spring 1906.
This sermon is a sustained attack against idolatry, including that involving Jesus and the Church. Davis sates that the way to truth is by focusing on ideals not idols.
