Sunday in the Churches.


Public services were resumed at The Con-
grega'lonal church Sunday morning. Sept.
9TH, the pastor Rev. c. +. W Hubbard be-
ing in the pulpit. His text was from Phil.
l2';2e Let your conversation De a. be.
comelh the gospe Of Christ: that We
stand fast in one spirit, with one mind stri,-
ing together for the faith Of ne gospel, and
in nothing terrified by your adver.ares. "
Our year Of Church work is marked nv the
summer vacation. A vacation implies labor
for the rest of the wear This message Of
Paul to the PHILIPPIANS shows the mission Of
the church. and forms most appropriate
motto for our church, as it enters upon a
New year of work. The first clause contains
a general statement-"let your conversation
manner Of Iife) be as becometh the gospel
of Christ" A consistent life should dis
tingulsh Christians from those who are not
Christians. The three other clauses con-
tain three definite statements as to the
nature of this consistency. LIST. Persist
ency stand fast" 2nd Oneness of pur-
pose, striving together Sd. Conflict,
not terrified by adversaries. The word sd-
versaries had different meaning for Paul
from what il has for us. The early church
had Literal adversaries. II had TO fight if il
would win. We must work in order TO win.
In the natural world, by the law of conser-
vation and transmuiation Of force, the same
energy which produces light under some
! circumstances. under other conditions results
in heat or electricity. So the same energy
which in the Church of Paurs time, pro-
duced conflict, in our time results in work
and missionary zeal. This message of Paul
contains a three-fold recommendation for
our work. 1t should be done first. in bar
mony with our fellow Christians. second, un
derstandingly, third, with pride of organza-
ton. or what the French call Esprit du
corps"
