preached from the text
"wHAT THINK YE OF cHR1sr."
Jesus opponents tried to inveigle him IN
his talk In three ways. First the politi,
clans questioned him when he gave the
memorable answer: "Render unto Ceazar
&c" Next the scientists approached
him, who questioned him concerning the
woman who had seven husbands. Lastly
came the theologlans who asked the
question which Is the greatest command
ment, &c. Christ promptly answered all
their questions. He then asked them the
question what think ye Of Christ"
OUR VIEWS OF cHRIsT
viii much effect our human destiny. Our
views OF him will change much as our
knowledge Of him increases. The Uni
tarians deny the divinity OF Christ. Our
conversion changes our view Of him, and
our views OF him change our opinion Of
what duty Is. Our knowledge OF Christ
will dispel all our doubts Christ Is not
a myth. BE lived on earth q little more
that eighteen hundred years ago. he
walked the hills and plains Of Judea.
Some say he was but man. But this is
80 preposterous that 1t needs no argument
TO reiute 1t. He was more than man at
the grave OF Lazarus. He was more than
man when he calmed the stormy sea,
&c, &c. Some say he was an angel OF
the highest order. But he proclaimed bis
own divinity and allowed himself to be
worshipped. r-. :"

Christ Is one; we cannot divide him;
he is one symmetrical whole. He Is sin.

mentally and morally. he is changing

And the church gets all its power from
Jesus. Religiously our land is in Q tran.

America. The people Of all nations are
gathering here TO enjoy one great feast Of
liberty. Dan we not see In this the great
mission Of our nation rellglously? viii

the world is growing worse. Grant Il.
There are some people that are better To-
day than they ever were before. They
are growing better and better.
OTHERS ARE GROWING WORSE AND WORSE.
The day Of judgment Ia beginning now.
The sheep and the goats are being sep

which throng VIC belong. We can know
1t here, we must know 1t in this life.
After the sermon Elder Ball made some
remarks on the necessity Of being born
again. Several presented themselves at
the altar, seeking for full redemption. A
halt hour was spent in singing and
prayer.

Hite, Mrs. Ball, Rev. Riheldafter and
others addressed the children. a closing
prayer was offered by Mr.. Kelley.
Rev: j. Is. Hughes preached at 8 o'clock
from the text
"LET Us 40 ON UNTO PERFECTION"
1t is very important that we set q
proper standard of faith, OF plety, Of
purity. Il the standard Is too low, we
can not accomplish the good we should
do. The theme Is the nature OF perlec.
tion. First, what it is not, 1t is not Q
state OF grace in which there Is NO suffer.
ing. Some Of the remains Of sin arc left
around US In order to do US good. We
are made better as we endure sfflction
and suffering. 1t Is not state in which
there are no unpleasant things, but the
higher we get in this state the lighter
will be our crosses. We will only be
saved from sinful fear. There may still
be the remains Of our natural tempers-
peuis. We must not be expected 10 be
lifted above our Saviour. He, as q man,
suffered; we must expect to do the same.
We may not expect exemption from
temptation. But we must discriminate
between temptation in the abstract and
the yielding to It. Those who aay they
are living above temptation are surely
laboriug under mistake. II we be
wholly sancti6ed we are not lifted above
temptation, but we are enabled the better
to Withstand the temptation. We are
able to withstand It altogether. ST
THE TRMPTATIoN OF THR HOLY NAN
must come from without as there Is
nothing In the heart 10 lead 10 It, One
living in lower state has still the Gle.
ments within the heart that lead 10 temp
tAtion. Hence the temptations are differ.
ent; II may not save US from errors In
judgement. Adam in his original state
possessed more perfect judgment than
the most truly sanctified man can now
possess. These mistakes in judgment, II
they are made when we use all the light
we have, does not prove that there Il
anything sinful In the heart. Christian
perfection will not lift Us so high In thI
scale oil being. that we may never ial
thereirom. You may be q long tint
ascending the hill Of moral purity. Yor
will never, until you enter In through the
gates, be so high that you cannot lall; but
the higher you get the less the liability Z
fall.
WE CANNOT ATTAIN ABSOLUTE PERREc-
TIoN
in this lIfe-that perfection to which
nothing can be added or from which
nothing can be substractod, This belong
10 God alone.
