TALKS ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION.
Rev. DIT. George Cooper, pastor Of the
First Baptist church. preached Sunday on
the theme "Who is Most Urgently Need
ed At the Coming Meeting OF the General
Association" IN the outset the preacher
said:
such meeting as that which we are
about 10 hold is greatly needed. and IS
especially opportune at this particular
time, because the character Of the popu-
lar thought and speech for weeks past
has been such as TO seriously depress
spiritual life and work. This association
being a missionary body the coming
meeting bears striking testimony TO the
missionary impulse In the members Of
the Baptist churches Of Virginia
Continuing. DR.. Cooper said: zone or
the most deplorable symptoms of our
times is the tendency 20 dispiritualize the
Church. TO conform her TO worldly
methods and policies, and thus rob her
OF her original power This IS only
part OF a more general movement to re-
gard the supernatural as superstition.
and reduce everything to naturalism. Thus
the Church IS directed from her work.
and from the sacrifice Of Jesus Christ,
while substitutes of all kinds are tried
FOR the presence and power Of the Holy
Spirit" The preacher concluded with
prayer for the presence Of the Holy
Spirit at the coming association meeting.
REV. MIR. HINKLEY breaches.
On Sunday morning last. at their mis-
sion room. Z IL west Marshall street,
small congregation Of New Church people
assembled for worship. The service, not
unlike that Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church. was followed by a sermon, de-
livered extemporaneOusly by Rev. Mr..
Huxley, who is the superintendent of
missions of the New Jerusalem Church in
the United States. The subject, as an
nounced. was THE Kingdom Promised 10
the Little Flock" from the text: Fear
not, little flock, for it is the Fathers good
pleasure TO give you the kingdom" The
subject was very appropriate to the oc-
cason. and was evidently chosen for the
instruction and encouragement of the few
devoted members Of this mission. The
words of the text, the speaker said, were
spoken by the Lord Himself-this precious
promise was made by Him. After de-
scribing the character OF the Lords early
disciples. as supplemented and for the
most part unlearned men and women,
who were, nevertheless. filed with affec-
tion for their Divine Master, he showed
the need of these disciples of such en-
couragement and strengthening as the
Lord gave them. They acknowledged Him
TO be the promised Messiah. but knew but
little Of the nature Of His Kingdom.
Mr.. HinIley appealed to his hearers
to come into the Kingdom, and I'm con-
clusiOn said that only those can become
a part Of the Lords flock who follow
Him IN the regeneration.
Mr.. Hinkley preached again in the eve
ming, and announced two lectures, one
on pseudo spritualisn, illustrated by the
story Of Saul and the Witch of Endor,
and the other on the true connection
between earth and Heaven, as shown
by the vision of Jacobs ladder.
These will be given on Wednesday and
Friday evenings. respectively, at s o'clock,
and will be- free 20 all.
