Rev. Z. II. Rawlings, pastor Of The cay
Street Methodist church. preached the
last Of his series of sermons on Love
Sunday night.
Mr.. Rawlings had very large con-
gregation Sunday night. His subject was
"Love-A Meeker than Moses" lie OIL
rected his remarks TO his church mem
beers. though he said parcntheucaly that
lie did not consider that they We're nee
essary. lie spoke Of the need OF unity
of spirit i'm the Church TO make II a
successful institution in the work for
good. He illustrated this by the iaeot
story; how easy it was 20 break one
stick. and the impossibility 10 break the
bundle. showing the necessity OF standing
together in any effort.
He said that he had visited Washing
ton and had witnessed the great inaugu-
raj parade. lie would have noticed the
slightest misstep Of the military. While
the greatest disorder among the crowd
following would have scarcely attracted
his eye. lie compared the parade To the
Church. Any disscnsions i'm the latter
were noticeable. while I'm secular bodies
even though there were greater troubles.
they did not attract so much atton-
ton.
Mr.. Rawlings referred to the great
discussions I'm the church i'm its carly
days-those between the Greeks and the
Hebrews. between Peter and Paul. and
between Paul and Barnabas. he then
pointed out the great harm wrought
in the church by lack OF unity.

of good men, comparing them 90 those

former were more eXasperatng. INC
cure for them was forebearance in love.
The unity of the Church Of God was TO

he.
There were two particular kinds ot

Rawlings spoke Of the danger OF man
thinking too highly Of himself. Scasi-
tiveness was another trouble. and it
worked great havoc in the church Per

times without any reason. The speaker
said that it was the easiest thing 10 be

in this way ruptures might bc avoided.
Common sense and love would overcome

Mr.. Rawlings used many ant illustra-
tions. and at times was very eloquent.
