The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1893-11-20

Rev. L. W. Roberts, Of the Wesley NJ.
L. Church, preached yesterday morning
sermon OF moro than usual interest
and power from the words: walk in
wisdom toward them that are without,
redeeming the time"
The gist Of the sermon was the duty
OF church members to those who are
not members. The theme was, "Be in
slant in season and out OF season"
This means we should work whether
We feel like it or not-when we feel like
working there is no trouble doing what
ever comes before US. There are times
when 10 work requires an effort.
First we are babes in Christ, and il
VIC do nothing NO remain babes all our
lives. The rule in the vegetable world
is grow or die. The same rule holds
spiritually. Ii we do not 20 forward
We 90 backward. We should begin
early in lie. God said to Moses, BE
ready in the morning"
Youth is the time to begin. Too
much Of life is wasted by those who be-
gin late in life.
The burden OF ChristS life was to res
cue the unsaved. This ought TO be the
burden OF our liYes. How the Savior
wcpt over Jerusalem because she would
nos" II Christ had not received sim
ners, how would it be with us to-day?
Scarcely for righteous man would
one die. But Christ showed His love
Tor US in that He died for us.
10 carry on the work oil saving souIs
there must be workers. All work in
the industrial world is carried on by
organized forces. The safety Of our city
is in the hands Of an organized police
force. So Christians have IN organized
force. They have their meetings;
they are held on sunday in the houses
built for the purpose The church is
the organization TO do the work oil say
inGsouls, and the members are, orshould
be, the workers
Is it not too true that it takes too
much time to keep ourselves straight?
This should not be, but we should be
always straight and ready for work.
God has always had a chosen people to
do his work. Through that chosen
people we have received the laws and
all the sacranents. Christ is in har-
mony with all the work OF the church.
The church, and we, its members, must
DO separate from the world, but we
must strive to bring it up to our level
not get down to its level. We must
be consecrated to the work. We must
follow our daily worldly occupations
diligently, but are to wear the world as
loose garment We are not to live as
though our only object is to get to
heaven, but We should try to FTke all
we can with us. A good man will nat
uraily go to heaven-there is no other
place for him: and it is very sad to
think that hell is the only place tor a
bad man after death. We must live so
our lives will attract men, not repel
thom. Our lives speak louder and
more forcibly than words can. Above
everything else our lives should shine
Mt home, SO that our children will love
so follow after Us In everything.
The true soldier is known by his
Walk-by his military bearing. So
We should walk as good soldiers Of
Christ, so that We may be seen by the
world, and be known by our walk and
conversation.
These are buta few of the good points
ably and oloquently presented.
His sermon at night was from the
words, BE ready in the morning." and
was fully as able as the above.
Tonight is the monthly meeting OF
the Epworth League. and it will be adj
dressed by Prof. +. B. Warman on the
subject, THE body the Temple Of the
Soul.n All should hear him.
