TRUE DISCOURSES.
DELIVERED IN THE DAWSON
CHURCHES SUNDAY.
Good Music and Eloquent Sermons Were
Enjoyed by Large Congregations--Syn-
opsis of Seine of the Sermons.

In the different churches of the city
Sunday large congregations assem- bled,
brought out by the perfect weather and
the summons of the bells.
At the Baptist Church.
At the Baptist church, in the morning,
DR.. Patterson preached from the text
Psalm 1866. Subject-Sower and Reap
er. Exposition of the Psalms. The
return by groups of the Babylonian cap
tlves. Their hopes and prayers were
then realized. They found the land
QFerrun with weeds, but They that sow
in tears shall reap in joy" The spiritu-
al sower ''goeth forth to sow He sows
in tears, but will reap!in JOY. The man
or woman who, with heart burning
with zeal and full of the love of Christ
and appreciation of the value of immor-
tai souls, goes forth to SOW, will meet
with great obstacles, but faith will over
come them all. Tears are useful in chris
tan work. They are more powerful
than thunders of eloquence or arguments
of logic. The tears of Christ move the
world more than the manifestation of
his power. The sower went forth "bear-
ing precious seed.' The seed is as inn
portant as the soil Seed must be good.
The seed is the Word. God will not
bless anything but the pure word to the
salvation of souls. The soEer, whether
he be parent, Sabbath school teacher or
preacher, must have experienced the
grace of God in his own heart in order
to teach it to others. If we go forth
with the grace of God in our hearts and
SOW in tears we will reap in joy. The
reaper returns in joy. No joy compare
bic to the joy of soul winning, He brings
his sheaves with him, and then there is
the song of 'tHarvest Home" We are
all sinners. Whatsoever a man soweth
THAT that shall he reap" AS we stand
to-day what would the harvest be?
At the Methodist Church.
At the Methodist church, from
John 1926, Rev. E. NJ. Whiting
treated the subject of Person
ality and work Of the Holy Spirit"-
who is the third person of the Holy
TRINITY. This divine person came not
to speak Of himself but to teach Of
Cnrisf. ana to point the world to Him.
Hence we know but little of the Holy
Ghost and are always learning more OF
Christ. Being a great mystery, the Holy
Spirit has been the subject OF heated
controversies in the early church. But
great councils, held at Nice and Constan-
tinople. gave us statements of doctrinal
truth on these points that have ever
been a precious heritage to the church.
The speaker showed that the statements
the creeds were the teaching also of the
Bible. that the Holy Spirit, proceeding
from the Father and the Son, was of one
substance, II ajesty and glory with these.
He is associated with the Father and the
Son in creation, in the inspiration of the
scriptures, and in worship. Many pas,
saqes would be unintelligible if He be
not person.
His work is a great mystery, like Him
self. Christ said Gle shall glorify me. "
And this He does, as DR., Joseph Parker
we'll saws like the sun glorifies the earth,
not by creating its mountains, rivers ana
landscapes, but by revealing them. Inc
Polv Spirit reveals the truth of 'sin,
and of a judgment to come" and then
reveals Christ as the one way of saliva
ton from the dread consequences OF
these. He is to "guide us into all truth. !"
He is the ''witness' of Gods pardoning
work in us. He calls the ministers and
directs the affairs of 1.-THE church. He is
eminently the comforter. Abides IN
the church forever.
At the Baptist Church in the Evening
Professor j. r. Hawkins filled the pull
nit at the Baptist church in the evening"
He spoke from Hebrew 12:l.
If a part of Gods dispensation that
everything shall be beset by weights to
retard its development The grain OF
wheat must go into the ground and die
before it can yield the harvest.
This suggests also that there is moth
inc Of any great use to man, which has
not its attendant disadvantages. The
winds take the waters from the Gulf OF
Mexico and scatters.them, as rain,o er the
states bordering the Mississippi, but they
we're destructive to property and lie,
last week, in the cyclones.
And this seems to be true: The higher
