EVANGELIST MAYORS SERMON
Eloquent Discourse on the Passion
MT simpson m. e.. Church.

A2E- - -
The Rev. Isaac Naylor, the Yorkshire Evan
gelist. delivered a revival sermon in Simpson
NJ. E.. Church, Central avenue, Tuesday evening
to a large congregation. His text was taken
from John, xiv, 8. IT Am the Way, the
ering around our Blessed Savior. He has
Just washed the feet Of His Disciples, said
Mr.. Nayior. Judas has sold his Lord for
paitry gain; the swords and spears will soon
out to arrest the meek and lowly Savior.
He knows It all. Never has mother more
tenderly quieted the nervous child than did
He these men whom He was now to leave.
The gloom of sad Gethsemane is almost upon
him. There is no finching. His words are
as honey itself. Under such circumstances
The, speaker divided the passage textually.
namely:-'.Jesus Christ is the way. The
coarse rufaan whose life has been given to
the severest brutalities. and as the thief
Of the Christ ana Z expire ss1n he Bosom 3, me q fn he
who scorns the approach Of yulgarity, and
of common ~fustion, but all the same yon
respectable sinner will yet tenant the same
prison as crouching demons; indeed. the
smell Of sulphur is on the robe unless you
come in the same way of Calvary as the
vilest sinner.
!" Jesus is the Truth The source of al,
truth, the ocean OF truth on which the old
craft Zion sails to the peaceful and silver
pass is adjusted by omnipotenee; the Pilot
is thoroughly posted as TO the route. ana on
and on she sails, catching the favoring gales
Of heaven-the sunshine Of Gods glorious
smile upon II, till the peaceful haven is en-
blessed old craft of CALVARY! Give deck
room to the crowding, teeming millions of
a lost world. HalieluJahi they are flocking
as doves to their windowsi
Christ is the Life I am the Resurrec-
ton and the, Life Call up that Widow OF
Of life. Ask .Jarias, whose lovely
daughter He called back from the
grave. Ask these two sisters, Mary
and Martha, whether He Is the
life. Ask old Death itself, who triumph
ed at Golgotha, and laughed as the tomb
was set. But who heard the breaking of the
seal as the angel. with silver wings, descends
and rolls away the stone. and in CONSERVATION
when the great heart of the Christ beat again
as the Master sings o Death 7 will be thy
plaques, o grave I will be thy destruction"
The congregation could not refrain from
audible approval as Mr.. Nayior concluded his
discourse.
Mr.. Naylor is about medium size, firm of
build, with q profusion Of dark hair. He has
keen. deep eyes, rather forid complexion and
voice and has a nervous manner in the puf-
pit. He finds, 1t difficult to check the spon-
taneous flow of his language. He is dramatic.
rising at times to the tragic. Marvellous in
its sweep, some quaint YORKSHIRE idioms and
much native wit give spice to his epigram-
matte expressions. He Is a magnificent singer
and a composer Of large repute. He sings
many OF his own hymns with full expression.
All In all, Evangelist Naylor is without a
superior in the evangelistic field in this coun-
try. He is as humble as q child and deeply

life passed under the golden skies Of the

In order to give the public an opportunity
to visit Florida at q very reasonable cost,
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has ar
ranged for a series Of tours 70 Jacksonville.
Since the system Of personally conducted tours
tnaugupated by that company has been in
effect, none but words Of commentator have
been received. Its unexceiied train service,
experienced Tourist Agents and Chaperons,
and above all, its moderate charges, leave
nothing to be desired.

weeks' stay in Florida, viii leave New York
