Mackenzie to Philadelphia, Pa. and the
congregation is looking about for new
pastor. Rev. Mr.. kaufman is young man
of considerable ability, and made a favor
able impression on the congregation. Tnere
is a possibility that he will be called to the
pulpit permanently.
In the forenoon Mr.. kaufman preached
from Matthew xvii, %: What then shall
/ do with this Jesus which is called Christ.
These words were uttered by PontiuS PLATE
when Christ was taken before him by the
chief priests and elders to be tried for his
life. Mr.. kaufman described the occurrence
as the greatest court scene ever witnessed.
At this trial, he said, human nature was
revealed in all it's contrasting character
istics. Plate, the judge, was stern, cruel,
stubborn and avaricious," while the wit
nesses gave forth evidence of selfish, am
bilious and vindictiVe traits of character in
relentlessly seeking the life of Christ, the
prisoner, who here shows to the world the
very opposite type of human nature when
he appeared before his prosecutors meek,
pure. honest ana full of love. PLATE. he
described as being a coward, with lack
of courage to defend the matchless Christ,
of whom he was constrained to exclaim:
to the question, what shall l do with this
Jesus?" by delivering him into the hands
of the mob. Under different circumstances,
but none the less forcibly, the speaker said:
God forces this question What shall do
with this Jesus, which is called the Christ
ought to be accepted with joy and love, and
the question answered as it was when the
Wise Men of the East came seeking the
Star of Bethlehem, which heralded the birth
of this Jesus which is called the Christ
When this question is made a personal one
answered, he said Christ's reception will
bring Joy to the whole world.
