HAS NOT CALLED A PASTOR YET.
Christian Tabernacle Congregation
SliII Mcnring TrinI Scrmnns.

The pulpit committee appointed by the
official board and the congregation OF the
Christian Tabernacle to secure a pastor
for the church has not been able 10 report
much progress. A month has elapsed since
the committee was appointed. The com
mittee has been in correspondence with sew
eral Clergymen of the Christian church
One OF these, Rev. j. y. Wright of Chi
cago. occupied the pulpit yesterday at both
the morning and the evening services. At
the morning hour he preached on the sub
ject, Hear Ye Him"
The speaker pointed out the necessity for
a more general elevation Of the moral SEN
timent among all classes The condition
of the world was daily and rapidly reach.
ing a point where ii is necessary that there
be not a Christian class and class not
Christian. The struggle for existence, the
greater effort necessary to supply the
greater and ever-increasing wants of man
kind, makes IL imperative that something
stronger than law restrain human passions
and propensites. The most law-abiding
men are those who respect but do not fear
the law. They commit no crimes against
the state because they commit no offenses
against the law Of God As the race multi
plies and wants become more difficult
10 supply, fear OF the law will not maintain
public peace and security. Only the un-
versal acknowledgment Of the moral law
moral sentiment to become dominant is for
every man to realize that the command
Hear Ye Him." applies TO himself Chrst's
law is the moral law that must govern the
world in peace and security and prepare
the way for the perfection of the great
millennium day. This day may be near
or II may be far away. II lies within hu-
man power and human will TO make it
either. II the whole world should today
accept the great sacrifice OF Christ the
millennium would come tomorrow Pain
sorrows, every psng that wrings the human
heart, death itself would be banished, and
the recreated worlt would be the para
disc that men have dreamed OF, the Chris
tian looked for and the human heart for
ever hoped for.
Today the gospel of Jesus Christ is
preached in every land under the sun and
how apt is the command, Hear Ye Him."
To hear is TO ponder; to ponder Is TO re-
ceive and to receive is to believe The
transformation is rapid. like the burst Of
sunshine from inky clouds. glorious To
the thoughtful mind there is nothing more
apparent than the progress toward this gem
eral conviction. Psychic study, which is
soul study. has become the leading study
of the times. The best minds OF the world
are realizing that the welfare of the HUI
man SOUL its development and destiny, are
the great paramount problems of the age
Mans little brief span of existence here is
but of the least Importance to the eternal
possibilities OF the future. All OF this
hastens the time for the final triumph Of
the Son of God. If but one-half of the
men and women of the world should accept
this message and follow out its injunction
there would be but little doubt that the
great triumph would come quickly. II would
blend together all of the churches of
Chrstiandom and soften their warning
creeds into the simple and harmonious
church that Christ meant should be estab-
lished. Hear Ye Him" is the greatest COM
mand that can be preached by Christian
ministers today
