Thoughtful Discourse.

For years il has been the custom Of Bap-
fist churches I'm Richmond 20 suspend ser-
vices On the Sunday night Of the com
mencement sermon az Richmond College.
and SO the Thomas Memorial Hall AT the

Francis-Strcct Baptist church. Mobile
Ala. was the preacher lie was educated
at Richmond College and at the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary and is one
OF tho most brilliant preachers of his
denomination in the South.
His text was from the first verse Of the
hfth chapter Of Galations-"stan fast.
therefore. ina the liberty wherewith Christ
hath made as free and be not entangled
again with the yoke Of bondage
Liberty Is the statesman's watchword,
said De. Ii is the glory OF our country.
Paul insists upon Christian liberty. You
may do as you please IN you please TO do
right. Christian liberty was originally
freedom from ritualism. The preacher
here pointed out the materialistic origin
ana tendency Of ritualism. and gave nu-
merous Illustrations from ancient history
particularly the Old Testament.
The gospel delivers men from these rltu-
aiistic forms. he continued. The kingdom
OF God is righteousness and peace and
Joy i'm the Holy Spirit. and this kingdom
was 10 be established in the hearts 81
men. Even some Of the early disciples Of
Christ were slow 10 learn the lesson
OF Christian liberty. Christianity is not
an offshoOt or development OF Judaism.
Jerusalem which is above is free. The
law of the spirit of life. I'm Christ Jesus
hath made me free from the law Of sin
and death.
Tho preacher here gave a thoughtful acc
count cf the nature and functions Of the
law and of It's relation to sin. Sin is
slavery. said hc. and redemption is found
only bon Christ. God freed his people from
bondage centuries before any Greek
statesman ever dreamed Of civil liberty
Jesus Christ lived I'm an age of civil and
spiritual tyranny. and DE came 10 set men
free. kcvoreut obedience 10 God Will
make us impatient Of the tyranny of man.
and the New Testament is great
teacher of the principles OF liberty. Here
the preacher gave striking Illustrations
from English ana American history.
without thc gospel all tho science and
art Of Italy will not make man free. said
he. Eye shall know the truth. and the
truth shall make You Free" said Jesus
10 his disciples. The greatest nhorator
that this world has eyer known was born
I'm manger and persisted ON % cross. Ire
came 10 make you free. Take h, yoke
upon you and find rest for your soul.
The disc0uoe WIS listened 10 with
close attention throughout.
