occupied the pulpit. He took for his
text, v chapter OF ST. Mathew and a
| part of the eighth verse, "Blessed are
the pure in heart" He first told the
congregation that there was great deal
of cheap Christianity in the world, and
he was afraid people adapted themselves
to this kind of Christianity for the want
of energy to seek ''tr1te ChriStidnity."
If we have a true heart we are n true,
noble and energetic Christian. He told
the story of how King Nebachadnezzer
| had ordered the three men to be cast In
a fiery furnace heated to the highest de-
gree; and when they were cast In this
furnace the flames did not even touch
them. Surely these men were true ex-
amples of the pure In heart. when they
did not fear the flames OF that furnace.
He closed by telling all that il we strive
to do noble deeds, they will be recorded
by Him above who "doeth all things
WE'LL" The choir then sang "He will
Deliver Thee" This closed the after

Rev. Brodhead. OF Millersburg, Pa.
came forward and said his text wa:
from XII chapter and part OF the 34th
verse of st. Mark, "Thou art not fal
from the kingdom Of God" In the
first place the people Of the kingdom o.
God are those who have respect for thu
Bible, and who take it and make {
study nf that wonderful book. he tolt
how he came to the altar and was con
verted a Christian and learned to live
according to the laws Of God. He sale
another class of people who are neal
the kingdom OF God are the Sunday
school scholars and teachers, although
some of the teachers never try to con
vert the scholars; they never enquire Of
them II they feel as though they were
true Christians.
He told how "Herod the Great" put
John the Baptist in jail; by doing this
he thought that Herod was somewha,
converted.
Again there are people who are near
the Kingdom of God, who keep the com
mandments just because they are really
required to keep them, just as the man
is honest because "honesty is the best
policy" One step nearer would bring
them into the Kingdom OF God.
He closed hiA sermon by telling his
hearers not to take step near the
Kingdom of Heaven and stand still;
but when you get so near the Kingdom
do take just one more step and enter
into that grand Kingdom, that never
sees any sorrow, but is one continuous
| 10y forever and ever.
