AT CENTRAL CHURCH.
Pastor Chreitzberg's Sermon sun
day Morning.

The congregation at Central Metho-
dist church yesterday morning crowded
pews and aisles. DR.. Chreitzberg
preached a sermon Of great force and
carnestness. His theme was taken from
the amounting of Christ by Mary. Her
unselfish love and sacrifice were COM
pared with the selfish complainings of
Judas, that the ointment might better
have been sold and the proceeds given to
the poor. DR.. Chreitzberg announced
his vigorous opposition to the more or
less prevalent modern idea chat woman
should take no prominent part in church
work. He declared that God was using
woman to do great christian work be
cause man would not do it. He declared
it to be his belief that this portion of his
SER mon would be criticised by some, but
he believed it to be true, and that he was
acco untable only to God for his words
