| A SERMON ON THE X-RAY.
| Ministers of the gospel are finding in
| the character and accomplishments OF
| the X-ray apparatus used in The Her.
| AIDS charitable work some new and
| apt illustrations to adorn a sermon or
| to point the moral thought they would
| instil and fasten in the minds of their
hearers. A most eloquent application
| of it's powers occurred in sermon deliv-
| cred yesterday by the Rev. j. A. B. Will
| son at the Garvanza Methodist church.
| His text was the opening words of the
gospel of St. John: I'm the beginning
was the word, and the word was GOD.
| The same was in the beginning with
| God. All things were made by Him and
without Him was not anything made
| that was made. In Him was life and the
| life was the light of man. And the light
shineth in darkness and the darkness
| comprehended it not"
"ln the beginning was the word" That
| is to say before anything was formed,
| ere God began the great work of crea-
H.,
was no part of the creation. Logos ante
dated creation. Now, as what was be-
fore all creation must be eternal, and as
what gave being to all things could not
derive it's being from anything, therefore
''Logos," the word, Jesus, was before
all things, made al things. ana IS the
eternal God, upholding all things.
DR.. Clarke says that "Logos," of
which the literal translation is here used,
signifying word. or spoken speech, or
doctrine, or reason, or the faculty of rea-
soning, was as much an appellation of
the Savior as Jesus" or "the Christ"
And it was an appropriate name for
Him who is the true light which lighteth
every man who cometh into the world,
the fountain of all wisdom who hath de-
clared and revealed God unto mankind.
In Genesis God is said to have created
all things. In this verse, Jesus, the
Word, is said to have created all things.
The same unerring spirit spake in Moses
and the evangelist. Therefore, Christ
and the father are one, and to say that
Christ made all things by delegated
power is absurd.
I'm him was life," and Jesus impart-
ed life to everything he created, whether
animal, vegetable or intellectual. Yet
the animal life held not the light of man.
for 1.-The world by wisdom knew not
God"
Therefore, the expression "in him was
| light" means naturally that light eter-
nal which he revealed unto men.
God created light. God created two
great lights. Gen. 1, 16. And now we
use a new light. the X-ray, and with it
see through opaque substances. With
lit turned upon the pocket books of this
congregation your pastor can tell. when
| he appeals to you to emulate its helpful
ness in charitable work, whether it is
quite true that you have left all your
| money at home" At this witty sally
perceptible murmur of merriment and
| applause was with difficulty suppressed
| by the sedate congregation to whom the
humorous predictions of the good par
| son much endear him.
| We are able with this new light to
| peer into the very heart of solid sub
| stance wrapped hitherto always in
| Opaque gloom. If all ] hear of the first
steps of this great discovery be true
I believe it to be only short time until
we can peer through the wall of your
| room and see your every act. whether
! you are conscious of it or not. But a
little while till we can pierce the noun
| tains surrounding us and see the plain
| beyond.
How like the all-seeing omniscience
of the omnipotent Gods this great dis
! covery! God is an Xray, looking
through your conscience, your motives
your faults, distinguishing between
| those sprung from hereditary environ
ment and those of personal perversity
| in the secret sins of your life.
In way as mysterious to us as was
the heart Of solid substance but the other
| day, ere this new light made bright the
! gloom of its hiding place, God, with the
x ray of divine intelligence, can pene-
trate the innermost chambers Of the
| tomb of time, where the buried CEN
turtles lie, or he can peer behind the veil
of the future into the uttermost con.
| fines Of the ages yet unborn.
| Verify. it Is true as St. Mark hath
| said: There Is nothing covered which
shall not be revealed, and hid that shall
| not be known"
In this marvellous discovery, filling
with translucency the Opaque, we are
| finding out something old, not some
thing new. although 1t may be new to
| us, Of the great wisdom of the Almighty
| God, his power and his everlasting
| glory.
In his divine omniscience he hath
| withheld from the minds Of the children
! of men this new proof Of his wisdom
