DIR. STIFLER'S SERMONS.
TWO INTERESTING DISCOURSES At
THE SECOND Baptist CHURCH.
Large Congregations Greeted Him Mt Both
Services and Accorded the Preacher
Close Attention.

Rev. DIR. j. Nj. Sitter preached to large
congregations both Sunday morning aud
night at the second Baptist church. He
was given close attention by his audience
and the sermons were spoken OF in the
highest terms by a number of those who
attended the services.
During his visit 10 Richmond DR.. Sitter
has made many warm friends here and
has become very popular as a preacher
as well as a man. His genial manners
and cordially lave made him a favorite
among the congregation of the Second
Baptist church.
DR.. Stifier's sermon Sunday morning
was a helpful. practical discourse full OF
good advice and religious instruction
He took his text from the third chapter
of Philippians, 18th and 18th verses:
Brethren. l count not myself to have
apprehended; but this one thing i do.
forgetting those things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those things
which are before. / press toward the
mark for the prize OF the hlgh calling OF
God in Jesus Christ
STRIVING TO RE PERFECT.
The speaker dwell at some length upon
the negative side OF his subject. explain
ing that the Apostle Paul did not ask
for forgiveness OF his sins, as he was
confident that they had already been
forgiven. lie did ask that he be spared
from sin.
The Apostle. said he, was constantly
striving to reach a higher standaru OF
piety and Christian faith. and held be-
fore him as his example only the beau
tjful and 81 less life OF Christ. The
Sayiour's life was the only one in the
world that was perfect. and Paul was
striving constantly TO reach that good
Of perfection. realizing his own weak
nesses and his own imperfections, and
pressing forward I'm his efforts to attain
a higher life.
DR.. Sitter took occasion TO deal a blow
TO those who claim TO be sinless. and ex-
plajned clearly that man Is a sinful being.
and that Christ alone was perfect.
EVENING SERVICE.
In the evening DR.. Sitter delivered a
sermon on the object of the Gospel.
II was not. he said. merely 10 save
men from he'll. nor only to carry men
into Heaven. The first object was the
Qualification Of Christie give 10 Him
that for which He died.
The mission Of the pulpit. the speaker
declared. was not to promote moral and
political reforms. The temperance ques-
ton. the monetary, the woman and all
such subjects did not come within the
range OF subjects properly belonging to
pulpit discussion. It's province was the
to extend to all men the invitation TO the
marriage supper Of the Lamb.
This invitation was not extended in
tho parable TO the good alone. but mes
sengers were sent out into the highways
to bring i'm whosoeyer would come.

The latest activity displayed by Mr..

Mr.. Bower proposed TO extend the nfiu-

Mr.. Bower noted them with an emphatic
'Tha Is untrue, and finally set u like

He explained the causes of the trouble
thus:
Is had suggested the programme OF q
mis- lion boat. and a his idea c~oncursei

Apostolic church. ne had on April lst
abandoned his lucrative business as a
shoemaker. and had placed his earnings
IN the making OF the boat. Money was
furnished from the ch~urch-about thirty
doilars-and affairs progressed smoothly
unit the church heads began TO question
the scheme. and asked Mr.. Bower 10
abandon the plan. This Mr.. Bower re-
fused TO do.
As 10 any interview limited at. Mr..
Bower states that there was none. lie
further states that he expects. with his
wife and family. 20 be summary dis
missed from the Apostolic church as a
elimination Of the spite work which has
