talented young lawyer who represented
Bridgton in the House last winter, dropped
into the Journal counting room, Saturday.
His face was bronzed by the April winds, and
he looked like rugged and typical young
American which he is. In company with
Fred Danforth of Gardiner, he devoted last
week to reconnaissance of the country from
Gardiner to Pennington through which the

i sermon OF the Rev. Mr. Sserps,-
a large number came together at The
Metnodist church on SUNDAY to hear tho f.ro
wen address Of the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Sterling
""o mas been connected with that parish fo,
'he last three years. This is the extrame
limit OF time allowed to any peacber of tho
denomination for remaining in place. Mr.
o'er'ing has preached forty-seven times dur.
Ing the past year, and scventy-eipbt times
ourins his two previous years; he has made
i'o5' calls, attended So funerals. and mar.
ried 40 couples. During the last year ,
church debt of ss73 has been cancelled and
the church building repaired to the amour,
Of $500. The following is brief outline q,
the sermon:
Christ to have suffered these things and en no.
| into his glory:'
In the beginning he noticed tho
view Christ's disciples had of the plan of sal
vation, and called attention to the similarity
between their view and the worlds at the
present day. Some way Christ's disciples
could not become reconciled to the agony and
self-sacrIfice he was to undergo But it was
the Divine conception, the human idea would
avoid the suffering; it would constitute a
system Of culture of alteration, in fact il
would be more esthetic but far less effectual
IN the vital issue; the redemption of man.
Mr.. Sterling spoke at some length on the
| attractiyeness and efficacy of the Divine
plan OF salvation, when examined simply
| from humane standpoint. Moreover he
asserted its necessity, and appealed to the
congregation in the language of the text ::
''Ought not Christ to have suffered?" Which
plan commends itself more to thoughtful
minds to-day: In which do we find the
most moral grandeur: In which would the
Christ shine the brightest: In which
as Savior could he best sympathize
with man in all his varied null
tiplied wants and sufferings:' He then
referred to Christ's admiration Of John the
Baptist. as being a man with beauty and no.
bility of character, despite his poverty and
hardships. The lot of suffering and self-sac-
riflce was Christ's conception of plan
of drawing all men unto himself He
then went on to say, 1--WE admire and appre-
cate goodness. but some one has said that
righteousness is greater and grander than mere
goodness, there is justice in the meaning of
righteousness. Thank God for the precious
atOnement, that there was one in the likeness
Of sinful flesh who was grand and noble
enough, and moved by a Divine love to sac
rice himself for our salvation. Take away
the blood from this book the atonement, and
while you have a scheme of morality, left
such as the world never saw before,
the power to sare men from sin is
gone" In concluding his impressive dis
course Mr.. Sterling addressed himself more
directly to the members of the church. Chris
