ID Blshop Coleman spent yesterday after.
noon at Farnhurst and conducted very
impressive eefvioe there. The text OF the
Bishops sermon was, And II came to pass
that as they went they were oleaneed." !"
His topic was 'Obedienea and earnest.
nese In DOING The history OF the text
was the record OF one OF the most wonder
full miracles OF the Lord. The Ten lspern
were cleRnsed not only because they be.
lieyed Christ was able TO cleanse them
but because they accepted the conditions
given them. Christianity has raised the
worth OF human life. In the far East long
life Is not desired. Diseased and unfor.
tuuate people were cruelty abandoned and
anything that would shorten their days
was considered a blessing. VA
The coming OF the Blessed Lord had
changed all this. Hospitals for the sick
and houses OF refuge are everywhere open
for the cure Of disease the easing OF pain
and the saving Of life. The Christ mad
taught the people that the body 10 OF
Rreat value.
The soul is OF greater value and should
be the object OF greater earnestness In
obeying God. Thankfulness for biassings
gained was enjoined as a religioue duty.
and ehown to be the source OF greater
blessings. The bishop called attention to
the fact that only one OF the ten cleansed
lepers returned to othank the Blessed Lord
for changing hirn,and 10 this one He eald:
Thy faith hath made thee whole" This
mans greater earnestness his gratitude,
won Tor him the clearsing OF his moral
and spiritual nature. He was made whole.
