DR.. BRoUeHToN's SERMON.

Rev. L. G. Broughton delivered the
annual sermon. The words of his
text were chosen from Matthew 28:19-
20; '.Go ye therefore, and teach all ma
tions, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever | have commanded
you: and, 10, l am with you always,
even unto the end of the world" 1.-THE
Gospel and the World" was the theme
of his discourse.
The preacher spoke of the mistakes
of the church in the past and said
that this is day of popularity in
the pulpit as well as in business.
ssGood men have been persuaded
from principles. My convictions are
formed on the mistakes of the past. /
judge the future by the past. We
hear and talk ubOut chaSmS. There
exists chaSm between the church
and the world. Jesus Christ establish
ed the church to save the world-to
make it bright. Ye are the salt of
the earth; the church should be the
salvation of the world.
1.-THE church has not reached all of
the people yet. Even in our own
America we have not reached half of
the people. Let us come nearer home
still. In Winston-Salem half of our
citizens are not members of the
church.
sWhere are the powers of the pente-
costs and our forefathers. BY the
| church 1 don't mean any special de-
nomination or building, but the Uni
| ted Christian Church.
81 honor life; / like to serve a
| church that has pulse and that's
got life. Why is the church in it's
| present condition? Because it has
| failed to realize the value of an inn
mortal soul. The church is trying to
go on a coalition platform. The idea
| is to preach Jesus Christ and Hin
crucified and let the devil take care of
the world"
| ssEeryer is what the church needs.
With a great many people religion is
/ looked upon as graveyard-tO wear
| Grape on your hat.
i 1.-THE church should be an educator
not only of salvation, but a home for
training men. Every church should
be Y. M. G. A. of itself. What /
would like to see is for each church to
| have bathroom, a gymnasium and
a kitchen-a Y. M. @. A. within it
self.
ssThe churches can't do that now,
but all of them have united and have
one This Association should have a
bathroom. We, ought to put our
shoulders to the wheel and support
this Institution"
/ DR.. Broughton, in his closing re.
marks, referred to the fact that an
effort was being made to keep open
the Worlds Fair on Sunday in spite
of the fact that Congress had enacted
law forbidding it
THE SUNDAY OPENING QUESTION.

troduced by j. L. Raleigh and ap

"And, whereas it is eminently I'll
and proper that this great Christian
nation should maintain the obServ
ance of the Christian Sabbath before
the nations of the earth.
Nov, therefore, we, the Christian
people of Winston-Salem, in mass
meeting assembled, do most earnestl,
