Head Of the Church

Rev. G. G. Ellington, presiding elder
of the M. E. church south prea he d Sun
day isTrinity for the text, AR d he is the
head Of the body, the church; no Is
the beginning, the first bra from the
dead: That in all things he might
erI sid, Jesus stands before the
world at the present time more notice
ally than ever before. He stands pre-
emineutly in the hearts of the people.
More people think about Jesus than
any other man in history. And we are
about to commemorate his birth.
Whether he was actually born on the
twenty-fifth of Dec mber or not, does
not matter. The fact remains that We
celebrate on that day: the birth OF the
savior of mankind, q day that is holy
Gay not only all over this country, but a
day that is celebrated in all the lands
of.the world, and in 300 languages.
Do we thus remember any other man
or name in history? There Is General
Washington; his name is celebrated in
the United States, but the birthday of
Christ is celebrated by world wide. So
Christ Stands before the world rs
Washington does not. Will our scien-
lists assign some cause for all this?
There was Jesus Christ who for thirty
" as lived the life of an ms; gni6cant
peasant, and then led prosecuted
ministry for three years more, dying
on the cross the de ath of a felon; and
yet we celebrate his nativity as that OF
DO other man who ever IL ed. How
will you account for it? More people
are living in obedience to the will of
Christ today than any other man
living or dead, more submit
to him as Lord, than to any one of ali
this earth. Now how do you, who
deny the divinity of our Lord account
for these things? Christ stands pre-
emlnently in the human heart as we'll
as in the mind, and eserts the most
marked influence on character. Christ's
religion is the one great distinctive
religion of history. The idea of Christ
involve the brotherhood of humanity,
aud through him have millions of Poo
pie been reached through missionary
effort. How many of the medical
disbelieve in the divinity of Christ? I
never head of one yet, All this work
is due to the direct Influence of Christ.
All Of the good books translatf d into
foreign t" ngues have been through the
work or ipfluen re of missionaries. 1t is
stianity that has done away
with the self-tOrture and the burning
of widows in India. Christ stands so
prominently in the hearts of mankind
because Ii Is InHdeuce - LOT Soou. ne
F'ejee Is,a, ders were almost on the
level with beasts when the missionaries
first reached Them, and old Fejees are
still living who in their youth tasted
human flesh. But in one generation
see the wonders that have been accom-
plished with these Islanders. If as much
were done with the Mexican poems as
has be en- done for the Fejees, the
poems would be up to our standard of
civ .lization in one generation. In
closing, the speaker deprecated the
'del Of ones at iting belief in the
Savior and his power to save, and then
declare inability to help ones self in
keeping from sin, Christ introduce
the idea that a man can keep from
acting mean if he is minded to.

IT Gjyeth Light.

ORev. j. g. Hall preached Sunday
morning in the First Methodist church
from the text, ''The entrance of thy
words giveth light" Psalms CX1X:13O
irg this chapter was moved in every
verse either directly or Indirectly to
asc -ibe praise to the word of God. The
written word of God in this day COM
prised only the pemtatuch with per-
haps one or two histo' ical books. 1t
was a very small light as contrasted
with the completed word as it now ex-
lists. The subjects treated on In the bible
are those upo1 which man could never
have receiv' i-ht except by divine
revelation. God never Civ man Any
i firm ton a. he Can obtain for
himself. No patton ever received the
word of God and remained unciviliZed.
The ftcts of history will prove this.
The darkest time Of the Christian era
ry when the Roman Catholic church
Withheld the bible from the people, and
even among the priests there was no
more than one in hundred who could
read the message which it was their
duty to proclaim. 1t was during this
period that Martin Luther found q
very large bible chained, and was SO
delighted with it that he remained
reading day after day, and night after
uIS uutAA VIC PSOPAO UhpuRh0 AC
would die. He was absorbing the
light. and soon became the means in
Cod g hands of distributing it among
the nations and bringing about the re-
formation.
We have right at our doors an illus
tration of the difference between our
civilization and that of our neighbors
over the river. It is not because of
our having more gray matter in our
l. 49, =; I.
been deprived of the bible The in
fuence of the word upon indi-
viduals is as important as upon nations.
Without it there would be no home, no
hope, no resurrection. To measure
the effect of this light upon the world,
it would be nee ssssry to destroy al
that has been accomplished, destroy
the churches, destroy the schools, the
hospitals, degrade woman to the place
she occupied eighteen centuries ago;
and then the sons of such mothers with
sword in one hand, fagot in the other,
would destroy all those that remained.
If this light is to be given up some
thing as good or better must be secur-
ed as a substitute and the question
arises can such substitute be found.
Culture will not answer, for that mere
ly adds polish to sin. Culture in all
centuries had not beer able to find God
when he was lost, and in 1900 years
culture has not been able to add one
particle to moral truth. We will cling
to the guide we have, for it is the only
chart by which the bark of man can
navigate the sea of life.
The attendance was good, the sing
Jog up to the usual high standard

odist oh u rch under the careful direc-
tion of Miss Harrison and Miss Moore,
