Notes From the Sermon Of The
Rov. n. q. Cook.
From the N. +. pulpit Sunday; morning
February 10th.
The text was taken from Dan. ta3a "And
they that BE- wise shall shine AZ the bright
ness Of the iirmanle Mt and they that turn
many to righteousness rs the stars forever
and ever"
Christian work has been In progress for
more than Is centuries, yet too many who
profess to be christians do not fully nppre
clate the worth and importance Of such
work. They are too few who put their
whole heart, soul and strength Int o II. who
engage In II a. II they expected to gain
blessed victories In time and gather fruit
into life eternal. Upon the slightest assur-
nnce Of success men will run tremendous
risks In worldly matters. They are often
led TO invest all they have in schcmts they
know nothing about, simply because they
promise so much and too often such slcn,es
are fiat failures, 80 that men having risked
all have lost all. Yet back Of the man who
has risked all and lost all, Is another ready
to run like rlsksand meet with like IA lures.
II Ii not SO In christian work. Sotwith-
standing the promise Of sure victory chris
tians wait and because they walt muci,
work goes undOne. Most men are nmbi.
tiOus enough TO want 10 succeed, some In
one way and some In another. II Is this
very ambition to be more than the average
man that has given ms great statesmc u, sci
cntists and artists. But we are not told that
kings, statesmen, inventors, scientists, ar.
lists and philosophers shall shine forever,
but they that turn many to righteousness.
We do not especially admire the character
Of the Herod's nor that Of the Pharoh's.
Nothing that they ever done Is being held
up to the children and youth as being wor-
thy Of imitation or that would do 10 build
character on. They are simply examples
of depravity and hardness Of heart. Yet
they were the great men Of their times.
But we do hear II said that Il Is safe To
initiate such men as Moses, Joseph and
Daniel. The world Is coming to like their
lives and actions better all the time. "Thcy
that b. wise shall shine" This does not
Imply a diploma from some high.tOned col
iege, that would be too exclusive. not all of
us will ever see as much as the outside Of
university, but any one filled with the
spirit aud anxious for the safety Of souls
shall shine. Whether you graduated from
iex0 nod school house, or from some
great college, Is about the same here. As
for worldly greatness we cannot all be

tile kingdom Of grace there Is open To every
man, woman and child the possibility Of
greatness. The farmer.man who has no
