FfEsr BAPTIST CHURCH.
AT this church It's regular pastor, Rev.
Robert Whitaker. preached TO a large con-
gregation, his text being: We have an
advocate 4" l. Johs ii J.. lie said:
The word here translated advocate is.

Is used by him three times in the latter part
oi his gospel. and is in each case translated
~ the word comforter" referring 10 the
Holy Spirit. II it appear 10 some tina, the
representation OF Christ as our lawyer. Or
advocate. is lacking in dignity. We can only
ssy that j. properly estimated the position
OF ar advotate confers great dignity upon
him vho holds il. No position Is more dig
nifed than that OF the worthy advocate.
and no position involves greater response
hiiiiy. We have the assurance that we
must ali appear before the Judgment sea,
Of Christ. Who viii plead for US, and what
can We say OF our advocate
First-~He is a willing advocate. There
are two ways in which advocates are usu-
ally secured: by purchase or by appoint
ment OF the court When the accused is
about 10 appear for trial he seeks out some
advocate in whom he has confidence and
hires him or purchases his services. Jesus
Christ despised the shame of our sins and
freely offered bis services.
second--He is worthy advocate. Not
every willing advocate Is worthy of conf
dence and respect Some are too humble
and obscure. too small for large trust.
Some are not honest, Some are not quail.
bed for tack OF ability. Christ is uuex.
oelled in dignity. Christ is worthy because
ot his integrity. The most elevated in
position are not always above temptation
and corruption.
lie Is winning advocate. The most i'm.
rortant question concerning all advocate
and that which interests most the accused
il that which concerns bis success Can he
bring my case Ia 8 successful issuef This
Is the question on which the accused dwes.s
and upon the answer which he receives de-
T'ends his happiness and peace % mind
We may say OF our advocate that
he has never hccn defeated and
never will lie, claim which no earth.
~ advocate can MAKE successfully
Aos does be save the Sinner Ey entering
plea of previous acqgittzl and showing
that Judgment has been satisfied. This 5
the c'lsy escape for the sinner. There can
BE- hat one successful plea and the greas
Advocsts can only make that plea. VII
