Trinity's New Pastor.

II1ntty's rev PASTOR.
Rev. A. G. Bane, the new pastor OF
Trinity Methodist church. preached be-
fore large congregation yesterday
morning.
His text was from the 10Th verse of
the chapter OF Romans. | am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christ. for it
is the power of God unto salvation to
every one that believeth.
st. Paul was first spoken of as being
the great hero of the gospel. A man of
conviction, naturally brave but made
and luxury OF Rome he was not ashamed
OF the gospel of Christ.
God gives power with His gospel to
give it success. We know there is
power in His gospel, for we have felt it
and know it's strength. We find in the
Bible the same words and letters that
we find in other books, but those words
effect the life OF men in q strange way,
and the reason is the power OF God is in
them
AS an illustration: Take a grain of
wheat to a chemist and tell him to anal
yze it. He tells you there are certain
qualities in it. You order him to make
you one like it. He does it. Both are
exactly alike. Rut when planted the
one will yield nothing while the natural
grain will blossom. 1t is so with the
words of man and God.
Gods power is manifest in His crea-
tive works, but his greatest power is
seen in the gospel that saves men.
Though Gods mind is engaged in
watching nature, His heart is ever with
His children. The gospel is silent
power, and. like all Silent powers, it's
strength is seen in its work. Like a
steady stream we trace il not by the
mighty falls or catsracts in the noun
tains, but by the verdure and fertility
thst line its banks.
Silent powers are the greatest powers.
Gravitation and light are never heard,
yet they are irrisietible. So it is with
the gospel. Wisdom might create a
world, but it takes love to redeem it.
Power might hold planets in their orb
its, but it takes love to hold man to
the path of duty. The center of this
power OF love is Christ.
In the sacrifice OF Christ on the cross
God revealed his love for man. Gods
true name is love. 1t ia measureless
and universal just as the sun which does
not shine for few trees and flowers but
10 su 30 III Is with Ills love.
This gospel power is increasing in
every village, hamlet and city. 1t is
taking on new life and gives fresh tokens
OF the speedy coming of the Masters
kingdom. | believe that with the pres-
ent increase OF gospel power that ere the
sun OF this century shall set tyranny will
fall and with splendor of demonstra-
tion it shall be the sstonishment of the
universe God will set forth the bright.
ness and glory of His eternal govern
ment. Out OF the starry flags and en-
Dlasoned insignia of this world He will
make path for His truth.

The service at the gospel meeting yes.
terday was beautiful continuation of
the Thanksgiving idea of the past week
which has been appropriately ushered
IN by the service at the First Congrega-
tional church last Sunday. 1t was
opened with music by the etring QUAR-
tette and then Miss Morse, general sec.
retary of the association, made the ad-
dress OF the meeting, and with words
wise and sweet and helpful led her hear
ers up to new thoughts as to this
Thanksgiving matter. Her references
upon the topic were particularly well
selected and below is a list which all
may read and feel that they are par
taking to some extent of the spiritual
beauty of the address. Isaiah 50 n.
First Timothy 1;12. Psalms :39. IA.
IL, Is. Psalms 1916. Psslms 81 II.

Miss Morse said: "Some one has
made this statement: Rank imposes
obligation and whatever heritage we
possess of character and breeding from
parents and grand parents of sturdy,
Christian worth, to just that degree do
We owe 1t as Thanksgiving to God to
reach out for the hearts and lives OF
shose who surround ne and bring them

Of ell good"
