TRINITY M. E. CHURCH.
Sermon by Rev. Samuel ID. Paine,
 Jacksonville. Fla.

Sermon by Rev. Samuel ID. Paine, of
 Jacksonville, Fla.
 The pulpit at Trinity M. E. church yes- terday was occupied, morning and evening, by Rev. Samuel D. Paine, pastor of Trinity M. E. church of Jacksonville, Fla. In the morning he preached an excellent discourse from Acts, 1st chapter, Eth and sth verses The preacher spoke in substance as follows: give direct reply to religious questions that were merely speculative in their charac- ter and asked from curiosity. When asked how many would be saved he answered: Strive to enter in at the straight gate for many shall seek to enter in, but shall not be able. In all the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ he was eminently practical
 Among the essential qualifications for an apostle was an acquaintance with all the facts of Ch1ist's history from his baptism to his sermon on the mount. Not what they had heard, but what they had actually seen. This was strong argument for the truths of Chris tianity. The apostles had seen him heal the sick, raise the dead, had seen him in the transfguration and had followed him to the mount and seen the clouds of glory receive him out of their sight. We hear it said sometimes that the apostles were igno- rant men. It does not follow that because these men had learned trades that they were ignorant men. If they had not graduated from colleges or universities they had for years sat at the feet of one of the greatest teachers that ever lived This was not all the education these men had. When Christ stood on the mount and mapped out their work they were not to go forth or ta ke a single step until they had received the divine power to fit them for their great work. They commenced their work in Jerusalem, but did not wait until all were converted, but they went out to Samaria and other parts of the earth preaching everywhere Christ and him crucified If there is one thing more than another that is wrong in the churches of to- day, it is the fact that ministers are not per mitted to speak more of their religious ex- perience. When Paul stood before the Pagan king and related his experience, the king answered, "Almost thou persuadest me to be Christian" In this age of subtle skepti- clsm we can fall back on the glorious fact that the religion of Jesus Christ has power to save us from our sins. feel myself made quate to comprehend what God is. but I know that down in the old Pine TreA State Tn the year lS6O at Methodist altar I found peace to my soul and no man can reason me out of this. W do not believe the world is growing mora wicked as the years roll on. This ia an aoe of Christian success No matter how mncb education we heve, or how many beautiful churches, if we have not the spirit of God and he is not in our midst Ichabod will he written upon us. What grand age we live in and what a grand opportunity opens be- fore usI have not riches, but would rath, CT stand in my pulpit down South and preach peace and good will to all men than | to possess the riches of the earth. God helI | us to be true and faithful to him and to hie cause.
