Reality of Chriet's Power.

Rev. J. T. French preached yester
day morning in Trinity church from
| the text, ''Ye have heard the blasphe-
my, what think We? And they all con
demned him 10 be worthy OF death
Mark XIV 80. The speaker said that
re atty of Christ in his power: and it
also illustrated the difference be-
tween the Jewish and the Christian
conception of the son of God. The
Levitican aw furnished the Jews tt e
basis on which their charges were
made; and the prophecy of tFis Occa-
sion was made by Isaiah in his saying,
Il gave my back to the smiters and my
cheeks to those that plucked off the
hair. | hid not my face from shame
and spitting." The Jews held Christ as
a blasphemer, an impOster, and con-
sidereu him worthy of death. But the
Jews never crucitied the Savior them
selves, for the Romans did it. How
ever, in a sense the Jews did cruelty
him as it was through them that this
was done: and every body now who de-
MES the savior crucities him afresh and
puts him to an open shame. 10 fact he
who now denies our Lord does worse
than the Romans or the Jews did at
that time. The gospel is to bring men
to Christ that they may learn OF him.
TIE Jews thought thai by mailing
Christ to the cross, 1t would be the last
of him; but his name is paramount
t: d ", and in our daily experience, we
m ct with things that remind
us of the son or God.
Like Peter many are following Oh 'ist
afar off, but others are following close
behind him, those who have not for
gotten Calvary, and the son of mau.
The fact tina, d iscp'es could not read
Or write made no matter: the SaviOr's
name has come down TO US with a sing
ular grace and irresi stible power.
Josephus was present and witnessed
this trial before the high priest, and
he in referring to Christ says: There
was mani it be lawful to call him
a man." Even great infdels in their
works cannot help but pay tribute to
his greatness. Let us kill him! cried
the Jews, and there will be no chron-
icle of his death. But not a day passes
but what there is some chronicling of
the death and life of our Lord. Every
time Ingersoll writes letter, he
ack nowledges in the date line the eX
istence of the son of man. 1t is his
name that lifts us to a h CHER concep-
ION of life, and makes US better every
Gay.
At the conclusion of the service Mr..
French announced that the services of
Evangelist Burnett, of Dallas, had
been engaged for Il series of revival
meetings in Trinity church, to begin

First Methodist Church,

Rev. A. Hoffman adopted the late
Rev. Joseph Cook IS style last night in
introducing The lecture of the evening
with a prelude. The prelude in this
il stance was short talk on fnanc. al
conditions both in this country and in
Europe. The speaker said that if
Americans ever expect that Edr"p
Will cond escend t. come to our dOo~S :,
they are sadly mistaken. Europe cares
nothing for us, "a d I'll the monetary
commissions sent across the water are
merely senatorial or cor greSsiOna al
spree. European countries have mon
etary systems of their own, and the
sooner we find this out the better it
will be for Us. Let Us stand on our own
finarcial foundations.
The speaker took as the text of the
evening, what if man gain the
whole world and lose his own soul. or
his soul: Does it pay to be d Christ
ian? Is marriage a failure:' And
other ociao-e economic questions are in
volved in this text. Does it pay to
leave a comfortable home and steady
employment and go to Alaska, for in
stance, in search of gold? Does it pay
to give up a certainty for an uncertain
Uy: People are rot going to Alaska for
Christ's sake, but for their own sake.

in Philadelphia where man can slip
in on the quiet and get his glass of

speak out, to take a stand for the

dom above and suffered crucihxion on
this arth that mankind might be
saved? Bradstreet pretends to
chronical failures. But there are a
great many he never hears of-spiritual
failures, failures to accept the call and
the offer of salvation.
In the course of his remarks, Mr..
Hoffman referred to the com pulSory
civil marriage system in Germany
where the marriage tie is merely q
civil CONTRACT between husband and
wife. When in the old country twenty
five years ago, this did not obtain, and
divorces were rarity. But now with
the civil marriage code est established,
divorce was com mon thing. Germany
has adopted this civil marriage code
from France which has b en- referred
to as the harlot among nations. Brad
street does not record the failure of
marriage or the failure of souls. The
speaker protested against ''protection
of property" being given the preced-
euce of protection Of souls, of life. Pro-
perty is but tran silent thing, belong
ing to this man today, to that man to-
morrow. But the human soul is a
permanent thing which lasts forever,
and the neglect of the soul will result
in untold suffering, both in this world
and the world to come.
