Mass, ofticiated at the First Congregation
al church last Sunday. In the morning a
large audience had the great pleasure of
hearing mastery sermon on THE
church," with the text, "And l say also
unto thee, that thou art Peter and upon
this rock will build my church and the
gates of hades shall not prevail against it.
The preacher developed the thought along
these lines. 1.-THE church of Christ is
founded first, upon man, not group of
men, not a woman, not an ideal, but upon
a man. If you see anything in your church
that you think your church should do,
go do it yourself then it will be done. You
cannot place responsibility upon a group of
men; it must be upon one man. 1t is
founded, secondly upon man with a con-
viction, up to which he ever lives, and in
which he is firm and steadfast. And it is
founded, thirdly, upon man with con-
viction that Jesus is the Christ" In the
evening Mr.. Hubbard spoke from the text,
"Where art thou?' taking as his subject,
Spiritual longitude and latitude" Mr..
Hubbard is widely known through his con-
tributions to the religious and secular
papers. 1t was great privilege to hear so
prominent preacher.
