DIX CARROLL AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The attendance yesterday morning at the
Presbyterian church was very large, and DR..
Carroll preached a sermon of more tEan
usual interest. He chose for his text Luke
xii, 10, and when they bring you unto the
synagogues, and unto magistrates, and
powers, take We no thought how or what thing
ye shall answer, or what We shall say"
Last Sabbath, said the preacher,
We demonstrated that the Bible was reveal
ton from coda revelation Of his character,
his will, his WAYS; that it Is a mans direc-
tory 10 be as his infallibie rule of faith and
practice. To-day we would speak Of the study
of IT, how We should read and ponder its su-
blime truths. Study it in the light Of context
not disjoiutedly, not segregatedly, not iso-
lating passage and making the text I
mere motto. Study it in the light Of the age
in which it was written, the customs and
characteristics of those times. Study it so as
to evolve its hidden meaning, and so de-
vel0pe its wider application. The speaker
emphasized all these points with striking il
lustrations, and closed with q swift resume of
our own day, the present times, times of all
others when We should speak what the Holy
Ghost shall teach US in the same hour TO
say.
DIR. DUNN AT THE METHODIST CHURCH.
The Methodist church had very large at
tendance yesterday morning to hear Dr..
Dunn's sermon on THE Redeemer Ignored"
He chose for his text Luke ii: Z, There
was no room for them in the inn.''
This text simply holds an historic fact, and
proves the Impoverished condition Of Christ
in his earthly career.-..It is tragic comment
on the text. ''IIe who was rich, for our sakes
ri-ccame poor that we thought his poverty
might become rich" Christ was indebte to
others for his cradle, his food, shelter, raj
meut, his sepulchre. The world that had no
room for Christ finds welcome from sin,
suffering and eternal death in him. We viii
DO DO Injustice 10 this pure historic incident,
If We spritualize these words for our present
use. Christ WAS given no room in the inn,
and today Is refused by many. First,
Christ has found room in art. Painters,
sculDlOrs, architects have found their highest
ideals in the scenes by the garden, the
temptation, the crucidXi0n. the resurrection,
the last supper, and the ascension Of Christ.
Art has both received its impetus and
dculcFel us great GioTN through tue Dlftu. illc
and death Of Christ, and the truths Of
Christianity. Second. Moreover. Christ
has been given room in literature,
He has united himself with learning, inves-
tiuatiOn, progress, aud universal intelligence.
Whatever the schOUis-WhOcycr the thinkers,
whether they be followers Of some pHlo-
sophie dogma, or are from the uutaught
muItitudcs-ei.her con verge toward and CEN
ter their thoughts in Christ OF 1iverge from
Him. THIS great historic character forms the
dividing line ol schoos and philosophers
and al literature. All The highest culture Of
the ayes has been united to Carst aud His
teachings.
l. And vet Christ is given no room in
many mans business His presence there
would disturb the principles upon which He
barters. To have Christ IN your business, is
10 carry on a clean business.
.. Christ is driven from so many homes.
3. He finds no room ia many Of our
recreauons.
i. Very often lie IS unknown In our re-
ugion.
8. He IS elected from the heart. That
which, when his, will change all our life and
better Us infinitely we refuse to give Him.
''Son, give Ne thine heart" This His, and
oil else will be His Give Christ room. and
you have I'D all truth. 70 Peace and hap
piness. 90 Success in its highest sense.
