rev. w. l. s. Murray preached nh
Interesting sermon from the above
text In st. Paul's Al. L Church on Sun.
day morning. In HE predatory re.
marks lie alluded TO tho holding OF a
Congress OF Religion at Chicago last
autunIn. to compare tho different
creeds. and decide which WAS best
calculated to promote the happiness
OF tho people. During tho conference
he remarked that dark skinned man
arose, and declared that in his oplnloa
tha religion best adapted to this pur.
pose. would eventually come to the
front, He thought the Dudlsh creed
was the best and all the people woul d
eventually adopt 1t.
Mr.. Murray took issue with him and
Bold that the lolISion OF Christ was
The best, and what is more he held
that We have the best book. The
Koran contained many truths, but IL
was ike crazy quilt, lacking oonnec
hon, and 1t was like wadlng through
I'VE bushels OF chaff to get three
grains OF wheat. Beside 1t held that
the earth rested on the backs OF
eiephants, and earthquakes were
caused by their shaking themselves,
Over 200, Oo0,000 OF people believed In
such doctrine. Our Bible was correct
Va Its statement of the creation OF the
world as we'll as in Its reference to
spiritual affairs, and could be relied
upon.
He referred to the king who had lost
hif wife by accident and failing to find
comfort in his Budish book, he sent
Ter missionary who read from our
Bible such comforting passages as
Let not your heart be troubled"
Let the weary and heavy laden come
unto me ind will Civ. them rest. I'm
my Fattor's house arc many man
sions, go to prepare place for you;
had 1t not been so would have told
you" The king was comforted by
these assurances and WAS ready to do
homage to Christ.
The religion of Christ was adapted
10 every want and exigency In life.
ealculatei to cheer the AFFLICTED, to en-.
courage the weary, and lead tho soul
TO heaven, and hence was better than
Gny other religion and eventually
should extend from the centre to the
circumference OF the earth. His per
grafton was truly eloquent. as he Gu.
Iogzsd Christ in glowing terms and
exhorted all to put their trust in Him
henceforth and evernore. At his con.
oiusion a voluntary was sung with
the chorus, Il am satisfied" after
which Joseph Pyle offered a prayer.
