Wong Chez, it is claimed, bought the

Rev. u. O. Mclean, D. D., selected
for his text yesterday morning from
Tim. Ii, Az, Preach the Wo.d. He
first dwslt upon what the congregation
had right to expect from him, and
also what he, on the other hand, had q
right to expect from them.
In peculiar sense" he remarked,
"this text is addressed to me. Paul
says: Christ sent me not to baptise but
to preach the gospel, But we preach
Christ crucified, Christ the power OF
God and the wisdom of God. I have
come to you to represent a denomina-
ton which was born OF God with fire, O
denomination that believes in vitality,
q living experimental religion. If peo-
pie do right it will always please
please or displease, succeed or fail, be
popular or unpopular. The preacher of
Christ must obey his convictions and
preach the truth. To do this he W ill
preach not self but Christ, who is the
center and circumference OF all truth.
Christ said: Il am the truth; | am the
life.' His mission, his life, his suffer-
ings, his triumphs and our hope through
them-theae are the sermon.
There is no power to arouse men; no
DOwer to instruct them; no power to
correct them; no power to sanctify their
hearts, except the power that is in
OhRist.
Tes woyd shall be a saver Of life unto
life, or Of death unto death. All is not

eho soul OF him who trusts and brings
aim out into broad place.

a Walk with God.


A large congregation attended the
Church of the Unity yesterday morning
to hear Rev. J. s. Thomson, the pastor
OF the church, preach his first sermon
since his return from his summer vaca-
ton. He chose his text from Gen. B :24,
Enoch Walked With God; and He was
not, for God Took Him.
From the meaning OF the name Enoch,
it has been supposed that he was
member of an ancient order OF Free
Masons, remarked the preacher. In
primitive days in Asia ths men who
studied natures mysteries, and who
detected suggestive symbols in the sky
and earth, formed themselves into col
legss or societies for mutual helpfulness
in the prosecution of free inquiry.
Christ, like other teachers. had an inner
circle OF adepta to whom he taught doc
trines too deep for the masses. Enoch
lived as many years aa there are days in
the year. This may mean that he lived
q com plete life; and it may mean be-
sides that he was an astronomer, sci-
ence that was cultivated by the Chal-
deans. Egyptians and Druids. The
tower OF Babel was an observatory.
The Book OF Enoch, which Jude men,
tions, and whicn TertulliaTd, father of
the church. cherished greatly, and which
Bruce discovered in Ethiopia, in Asia.
has five parts and 10S chapters. 1t
treats of fallen angels and giants, OF an
excureion round the world and heavens,
of wondrous revelations, of astronomy, +,
geology, purgatory, paradise, dreams,
morals and duties. 1t was written to
illustrate Gods wisdom and goodness.
In Enoch's days corruption had invaded
social and political life and civilization
was hurrying to destruction. Enoch by
preaching civil service reform was able
to check the mad career of the society
wrecSere.
Enoch walked with God, but not to
God-God is always in and about us.
1t ia impossible to walk to him, but in
our peveral callings we can walk with
our Master. 1t is our duty to take the
world as it is, avoiding the fanaticism Of
the past and not importing it into the
future OF civilization. Do the duty at
hand. The fact that we are here proves
that God did not need us in the past
and that he will not need US here after
our death. Euoch was taken to Para
disc because he WAS good man; he
obeyed the laws OF life working out his
own salvation, with the faculties and
opportunities placed at our disposal also.
He walked; he was not carried. No
body had to die to ssva him. or to make
God love him. He knew not the tesch-
ings OF Moses. Elijah, Christ or Paul,
and vet he was great spiritual leader,
taught directly by the Divine Spirit.
The primitive races lived without our
machinery and tools and methods OF
education, but with these things our
lives are richer and stronger than theirs
were.
The translation of Enoch was dis
cussed and illustrated, and the moral
conveyed by his life applied to the ex-
igencies OF modern times.

Tho School of Christ.

The services yesterday at the Y. W
9. A. sooms on North Spring street were
unusually Interesting. At the gospel
meetiag, after the opening hymn, Mrs.
P. W. Dorsey OF the Baptist college read
the Hth chapter OF John, and based the
remafks that followed on verses 2l-23,
Her address, though short. was marked
by car sful and inspiring thought.
"Wa hear much" said che, Sin these
days 81 methods, and much attention is
given, especially in all branches oil
teaching, to securing the best and most
appro fed modes and appliances for i'm
parting knowledge. So he who wou Id

must accept the method given by Christ
our Sa 'ior as the best one. Then only
will W., be successful students. The key
to this method is obedience. At first
obey instructions and our knowledge
will bh increased to us. II we are ODE.
dent God will reveal himself to ut
through the loving personality OF Christ,
who was full of goodness, pity, compass
sion and love-"
Then we have to learn humility ;and
how can We do that if we are not obe-
dientP We must bring the right spirit
TO beaI upon our work or we shall be
lacking. No great thing was ever
achieved in art or science when the
right spirit did not animate the en-
quirer"
Mrs. Dorsey proceeded to speak OF the
inspiration it is to every true soul in
having an example OF absolute goodness,
and that our highest aim in life should
be to emulate our great example and
teacher. In closing she pointed out
that ouf ability to enjoy heaven will de.
pend upon the characters we have
formed on earth.
After prayer. Miss Emile Alexander

Morse followed in an address on the
lines OF thought suggested by Mrs.

A Childlike Confidence.

The Adventist camp meetings have
been we'll attended during the past
week, and when Elder Gates, who has
for long time labored as missionary
in the south Pacific, delivered the fol-
lowing discourse, a very large congrega-
tion attended.
He selected his text from Hebrews
10:35-39. Quoting the apostle, Cast
not away your confidence, which has
great recompense of reward" he said !:
Il have found it in my experience, I
have found it in the experience of 9TH
ers also. that one OF the greatest difficult
ties we have to contend with is that of
lack of confidence which the Lord wants
his people to have in his promise. I
have seen it all through my experience.
bnt am glad to say that it is growing
smaller and beautifully less all the
time. l want it to go on just in that
way until the Lord comes. He has set
Up, at different times, monuments of
his mercy and of his wonderful deliver
ance in order that he might, il possible,
establish confidence in the hearts of his
people in his dongs, in his love. in his
works, in his goodness. in his mercy, in
his tenderness. 1t seems to me to be
just as natural for us to be doubling all
the time his wise goodness and pity and
compassion as it is for water to run
down hill.
''fhe whole world, in the past, has
been trying to earn their way into the
kingdom of God; try to do something to
make ourselves worthy of it. We see it
in the Fapacy, among Christian people,
and too much among Seventh Day Adj
ventists not to receive what God has for
us.

who was troubled on this account. 1t
staggered his belief in the idea that
God would notice humanity, but he
escaped through the portals of Christ's
sermon on the mount. His epitapb,
written by his own pen, pronounced
Chriet divine end in Him all was plain.
"Man is insignificant" said the
speaker, compared with the stupend-
GUS forces of nature. In the maw of
the ocean or under the starry heavens
he is a mere pigmy, but these are not
the standards by which mans greatness
is measured. In point OF intelligence
man ia master. He is cut out of the
very mind of God. Having harneased
tho forces OF nature, subdued steam and
electricity. fire and ocean; having COM
bnsd mind and metal to print, tele-
graph, vocslizs light and carry the
human voice thousand miles, he is
great beyond doubt. Advance from
the mental to the moral and as Kant
observes, Two objects fill us with ever
increasing admiration and respect, viz
the starry heavens above us and the
moral low within u.s. As the lake
mirrors the whole concave of the starry
heavens, 30 man mirrors tha whole
moral law. He is fallen god."
'Sin, strange to say, makes man i'm
portant. The murderer is clothed with
an Importance he never had before.
Even boy who rune away from home
commands the attention of the commu-
nity. So with man as a member OF
Gods family. Viewed as sinner he
looms up beyond the stars. Jesus came
not to tell of the stars and the sun, but
to seek and to save the lost. The most
despicable engages the attention of the
deity, and greatness is manifest in
mans contrition and confession Of
wrong because it allies him to God"

evening, however, and it is possible that
some chang may occur as according to
all accounts there are some peculiarly
marked ballots that, II counted, or not
counted, may affect the figures and either
upset the election or change the result.
According to the wardep's figures the
last time Isaac Gil had a lead of three,
but the official count made it a tie.
This time Wheaton Cole has a lead of
4, his vote being given out as 304 and
Isaac Gill's 800, with IL defective ballots.
The "citizens" were anticipating a crush
ing defeat and accordingly one of the
"Republican" supervisors tried to kick
up a row over Edward McPoland's bal
lot.
The Supervisor claims that James Cur

that the latter marked and deposited

says as McPoland only had one ballot as
could be plainly seen by any person who
