MR.. MORGANs SUNDAY MORNING SERMON
The Sunday morning sermon delivered by MI
Morgan was one Of the most impressive given al
this conference and it Is printed In this repor' IN
stead of the one which he delivered to-day AT the
reouest of many people who have expressed their
appreciation Of It in the strongest possible terms
MI Moody said that it was ore of the best sermons
that he ever heard. Three Pictures Of the Home
in Bethany" was the subject, and the sermon was
in substance as follows:
Many of us have been interested during the last
md before God and OF the progress that Will be
made in Christian life II we are in that correct al
tituue; ~ .' ~ illustrate progrcss because OF
alton and attitude being right by three pictures
ia, us look at Luke x verses $50. That is the
FIRST picture we will look at We VIII lax, iake me
others in order. look upon them as dlss9lVing S S

the second into the third Though they are EN- en-,
tirely three distinct pictures you VII see q , coHe s
CONNECTION between the deep underlying truths IN
each of them. They are closely KNIT 10 cacn otilt
by the philosophy Of love that underlles them ne
attitude taken before the Master and the results
produced in the circumstances OF every DAY.
This first picture Is beautiful one. IL Is one
Of the brightest spots in the life OF the beloved
Master He never had a home OF His own but He
Rad a home of friendship. one Of those places into
which He could go and fling on for the time being
ali the restraint which is proper and necessary -
one who is engaged in such public ministry as H'
engaged in; ! suppose every one mere mere mas as
some home in addition TO his own home. where n
can be quite at home and feel there is no need To-
keepuC up Appearances for the eyes that look on
| us and the hearts that welcome us are the eyes
and hearts OF love. In the home at Bethany Jesus
| had such n place that first picture on one of
those occa sions when He went there In the midst
Of His public ministry. and STAYED Just Itte
while for fellowship and rest among those that
loved Him perfectly, am interested In LOOKING;
