REV. DIR. KILGo's SERMON.
He breaches at Chapel Hill on the So
vefegnty of God.

To the Editor: President Kilgo
preached in the Methodist church at
Chapel Hill Sunday. His sermon in
the morning gave me such clear i'm
pressions that l wish to write about
them. The theme was the Sovereignty
of God. lnis was taken to mean moth
ing less than this In the beginning,
God, in the middle God; in the end, God.
Nothing of the nature of reality-out-
side God. The Being of God is the
source of Law, of Truth. of Justice. Of
Righteousness. This is unity Mono
theism. And this is the Hebrew idea.
Having developed this thought, the
preacher said that now the tendency is
to forget this supreme idea. Two results
are Dlain. First, Il severe loss to our
character. Second, u superficial view
of sin.
The preacher developed his theme in an
admirable manner. / have not been so
interested in sermon since hearing
Philips Brooks. Philips Brooks was
the greatest of preachers. And Dr.
Kilgo is Il great preacher. A great
preacher is a man full of one idea. The
idea must possess the man. It must
dominate his words, his feelings, and
his thoughts. And no preacher ever has
two of these ideas. DIR. Kilgo preach
ed upon his idea Sunday This idea is
God. This, as l have said, is the He
brew idea. At times, rs he spoke. |
thought of Elijah standing at Ahab
Ahab had done the letter of his duty to
the Temple service. He had twenty i've
dollars left. and gave this to his wife's
church. IF God be God, You cannot
do this thing" Numbered Elijah.
Then he seemed to me quite correc,
in his view of character. There can be
no character apart from God Char
acter is action along a straight line. And
there cannot be two straight lines.
If this is true. then it follows that
sin is sin. All sin is the same thing es-
sentially. viz: deviation from this line.
Having enjoyed this treatment. It
was pleasing to think of our future
preachers coming in touch. during their
training, with a man who has in a mark
ed degree the preacher impulse and type
friend. / am sure our pulpit will soon
show the quickening touch
The Hebrew idea has always made IN
tense men. They are all fighters. Elijah
Augustine and Calvin were of this type.
In the developments of this idea. DIR.
Kilgo uses the philosophy of Lotze. In
this philosophy, the great word is per-
sonaEty. God is personality. This is
profound and true.
But what is personality; at this point
in the DEVELOPMENT / felt lack for the
first time. God is personality But &
He not man? Is He not spirit?

says:
