God Bethany sunday sohooIRany.
Rev. J. d @. Hanna. Of Union NJ. e.
Church, exchanged pulpits yesterday
with Rev w +. Valiant. Of Cherry Hill
In tho evening Mr Valiant presched an
excellent sermon from Matthew 10.
Let yonr light 80 shine that they may
sea 10 and glorify Your father ia Heaven.
Owing 10 the excessive heat and tho
threatening rain there was not a large
congregation The preacher showed
that the command Of our Savior was not
ouly to let our lights shine. but 10 let
them shine In a way which shoula glorify
the Father Many protesting Christians
display their lights only on certain occa-
sions and then more for their own glori-
ucatlon. On other occasions their lights
burned dimly or were hidden. Snch
men. he claimed, did more
harm than those who never showed
a light. The lighthouse keeper who
burned his beacon light only on part
Of the week, would have many wrecks
on his head aud would he retained In
position but brief tima 50 the
Christian whose light Ia kept in an
Irregular manner would soon lose the
support OF the MASTER and might be
responsible for many human wrecks
No one knows how many are watching
our lives said Mr.. Yalinnt. No one Is
aware Of tho eyes turned towards our
light and 10 therefore bshooves ua to
keep Il always burning, and as steady
and brilliant as tho sun, moon and fixed
stars God will judge MS by the way in
which We keep our Christian lights
trinmed and burning.
