St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-06-24

Open the window and light will come in OF
itself. The best place for man to obtain
sanctification is where he is. The best
time is now.
THE AFTERNOON.
At the 5 O'Clock, service the rermon was
preached by Rev. Warner of ST. Paul dis
trict He took as his text, ''That they
all may be one, as Thou, Father, art in
me and in Thee; that they may also be
one of us"
He said: There is too much petty wrang-
ling in the church. Many towns have ten
or twelve churches where but three or four
are needed. Men dispute too much on the
dogmas of the church, and too often neg
lect the true question at issue: "Are we
born of God?" This is what should Oc-
cupy mems attention. Those who are chill
dren in the Lord are brothers and sisters In
the highest sense. They should take one
another by the hand; not wrangle
and dispute about small differences
of doctrine. The different churches are
merely branches of one family. The more
the churches come to recognize this the
nearer do they approach to that time when
the world shall be taken for Christ. In
union there is strength. Then let us not
hastily conclude that because others are not
going the same road with ourselves
they have not the same distinction as we.
Let us recognize the universal Father pre-
siding over all and giving to each as they
deserve. Whatever our creeds, God will
recognize his children and will prepare
mansions in the heavens for the faithful.
EVENING SERVICE.
At the service at o'clock Rev. Mr..
COffman of Fargo preached from the ''Thou
shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thy
mind with all thy heart, thy soul, with all
thy might and thy neighbor as myself"
Christianity cannot become antiquated; it
is always new. 1t does much for man and
has a right to demand much of him. INDIE
pendent of revelation man must be regarded
a stupendous failure. We cannot under
stand man by considering him apart from
God. Man is made i'll the image of God.
God is the omnipresent One. What must
be the intellect of the Omnipotent. All
things are known to Him. The understand
ing is infinite. God has endowed the finite
with the power of approaching wonderfully
near the infinite. Like Him is the thought
which inspired my heart tonight. This is
the real ground of undivided responsibility.
So great is man that he to have realizing
sense of his responsibility, responsibility
not transferable. Man is individually re-
sponsible. The worst element of guilt is
personal blameworthiness. You may
be pardoned but acquitted never.
Individual responsibility demands that we
confess our sins and not cover them. A
perfect, honest manliness in owning our
sins is the only hope for any of us. | see
in this individual responsibility a proof of
his Immortality. Man is great enough to
be punished eternally and he is great
enough to be ineXcusable for the sins he
commits. Man is made so that he can be
lifted up and up until he reaches the high
est perfection. To represent Christi Oh.
what responsibility! We are sent out to
represent Christ as truly as Christ went to
represent the father. Total abstinence from
sin is the only right position for Christian
to take. In proportion as we give ourselves
to God, he gives himself to us. Response
bility bears down alike upon all God re-
quires no impossibilities. God asks of each
one of us simple fidelity. Let us not talk
about the partiality of God. He is the most
impartial Being in the universe. Fidelity
is what he wants.
