ing filled Rev. Dr. Daniel Bliss offered tho
opening prayer, and the choir sang the cightynrst
hymn of tho Moody and Sankcy collection,
entitled "Yet there is Room" Mr. Moody's text was
Luke, IL, 7-"And she brought forth her FIRST born
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him
in a manger, because there room for them in
the inn.n
1t is the custom now, said Mr.. Moody to think that
had the people OF Bethlehem known that the son OF
Mary the Christ they would have made room for
both mother and child in their houses; but even now
after Ho has been known for nearly two thousand
years, there is no room for Him among peo-
pie who profess to be Christians There is not
people on earth who If the question submitted 70
them, would vote To make Jesus their ruler His
miles, and many Of his protested friends are not
less active against Him than were
TIfE SOLDIERS HERoD,
who went throughout all the land Of Judca with up
lifted swords seeking his life. There is no for
Him in society You may talk OF tho fashions, tho
opera or the news and gossip OF the day all its orms
but venture to speak of Jesus in any social gath
erng you will give offence and you need not expect to
be invited to the next We have In hearts
for pride ambition, seflove, and even jealousy and
hatred but no room for our Saviour And church
members have all too little room for Him their
homes. That Is not love OF Christ which confines Him
within the walls of the church and admits his sway
only on the Sabbath His promise was, 'Lo, am with
always" and we not worthy TO be called in His
unless make room for Him in homes in our
society, in our business recreaons, and willing
acknowledge, and proclaim Him at all times and
in all places Tho preacher then told the story Of tho
death and resurrection of Lazarus, and described tho
devotion Of Mary and Martha, who received Jesus
when He was despiged and rejected, example OF
the devotion which His followers should render Him
now and the restoration Of their brother after he had
lain four days In the tomb, OF the re-
ward promised TO those who serve Him. In these
days the dead not raised up from the grave and
stored to US in the body earh but the souls of tho
righteous raised TO higher happier aud holier
life in that better homo above, where the wicked
cease from troubling and the weary at rest.
