FAITH IN CHRISTIANITY.
Rev. Mr.. Mendele,s Disc curse At Cen
ter Church-An Able Exposition OF
Faith.
Rev. Mr.. Mendeles, brother-in-law of
Charles Whittlesey, the Chapel street drug
gist, and who is now settled in Boston, ad-
dressed a fair sized congregation at the Gem
his text Mark, e,24. His discourse was an
able exposition of faith, it's nature and re-
suits, Astounding in apt quotations from all
the books of the New Testament. "Faith Is
the paramount principle of Christianity" he
said. GAIL things are possible in faith; un-
belief, on the other hand, is the mother Of
all misery in Christian life. And we must
foster that disposition of our heart, which is
toward the expelling of unbelef. Faith is
not something that can be bundled up and
laid on the shelf, to be used whenever need
ed. 1t is living. It requires all the facul-
ties of the mind and of the SOUL"
By way of means for fostering faith he
gave in the latter part of his sermon four
practical points:
First-Instead of reading one chapter a
day from the Bible as sort of severe self
imposed duty and soon forget it as some
people do, better take precious verse or q
commandment and carry it all day.
2. To keep constantly in mind what faith
has done for us in the past. A pastor saw
in his parish woman with a bible, many
verses of which were marked with the letter
P. Upon his asking what it was for, she re-
piled, ''tried and proved" So, mark in your
mind the verses you have tried.
8. Work. Soldiers learn their duty by
work and discipline. So must Gods soldiery.
Do not stand aside-Come to the Sabbath
school and take class or join one. Come
to prayer meeting; minister to the poor.
4. Lastly and principally, hold constant
communion with God, in the shop as we'll as
in the sanctuary. 1t is an inestimable boon
to be with such companion as Christ.
Walk with God as did a prophet of old.
