STRONG SERMON.
Rev. John II. Simms, M. D., preach.
ed IN the AFTERNOON for the first time
since The first Sunday In February. He
is convalescent from long and severe
cold. lie found his theme In q few
verses at Luke, 9: 20.
Christ seemed to choose his disciples
more for their ability to practice hui.
mility and meekness than to display
either riches or education. He pro.
nounced them especially blessed II
poor, prosecuted for righteousness
sake or cast out for evil among men.
Their own co religionists the Jews,
cast thcm out Of their synagogues
and denied them every form of church
recognition. Christ told them that
was the way men true to God, and
the prophets, had been treated in all
ages.
The life of Christ shines In true
Christians and false professors of
Christ cannot help seeing that such
true gospel life Is In opposition to
them. They feel it condemns them
and hence they persocute.
The really Holy Spiritual men of our
day are violating neither the law of
God nor the gospel or Christ. The one
is IN them US deep as the other. Their
reward Is not In this world but in til c
next.
The blessings upon the poor and
prosecuted and all else that Christ
preached in his day belongs to the
church liz al! ages and now.
The senso of Spiritual need, the
hunger of the soul, leads to an earnest
seeking OF God who always supplies
the need.
1t takes earnest prayer daily to keep
up an overlooking supply OF loving
grace to meet the requirements OF
blessing and saving sin. cursed world
Look at all the churches in this city,
and IA OF them are Methodist. What u
power they could be by all the mem
bers living faithful Christian life.
This Gospel life takes away the fear
of death. | believe He will keep that
which ! have committed unto Him
unto that day.
When you are poor, when you weep
and when your name Is cast out for
evil, then know you that your reward
ID sure in Heaven. The good man Ger
tainiy has grander sleep than the
wicked man. He las nothing to fear.
There Is hope for hin even in death,
He need not be- afraid of anybody.
Blessed are you when men shall hate
you. If the latter day churches cast
you out the same as the early Chris.
tians were cast out by the churches In
the days of Christ on earth blessed are
you Tor God will lit you up.
