Christian Church

Morning. Subject. "Prison Gates
Open" Acts 12:1O. The pastor said in
part: In Matthew 4:17-22 we have
the account of Jesus walking by the
sea of Galilee and calling to Simon
Peter and Andrew, and kJames and
John. He said to them follow me.
They were all engaged in q lucrative
misses except they should be fisher of
men He had no bank account to assure
them of ror had he up to that time
provided for any b7dy, but they had
sch faith in that voice that they did
not hesitate but left every thing
and went Immediately.
In Matt. go we have the calling of
Matthew. he was tax gatherer and
actually handling money. Jesus, in
he lef' all ard followed him. In the
10th Cb. of Mark we are told of rich
young ruler coming to Jesus and ask
ing what he must do to inh crit eternal
life. He was told to sell all that he
had and give to the poor. Many who
turn away from the commands of Jesus
today are less excusable than was this
young man. Up to that time
Jesus history was not known.
He had not provided for
people to any great plumber for any
great length of time, If one says now
that he can't quit business for fear of
starvation, he is worse than the young
ruler who wen away sOrrOwful. When
Jesus DDS US follow, If we do so the
gates that seem across our way will
open of their own accord like the ones
in the prison in which Peter was con-
fined. Every Christian ought to be
posted on the Bible. Every one who is
in error and every sinner is in prison
and how does the Christian know but
what he is the angel, Intended of God
to lead the sinner out. Go to them
with q clear understanding of the
scriptures. hid them follow you and an
unseen hand will reach out and open
the great iron gate.

The True Aim.

At the First NJ. E. church, the pas
tor, J. q Hall, preached from Peter
VIZ. "The flock Of God" A part of
the sermon was as follows: What
should d true church of Jesus Christ
aim at? There are three things to be
accomplished. 1st, the conversion of
sinners; 2nd, the cultivation of saints
Bird, he uplifting of the masses With
out the conversion of sinners the
chu Oh would become extinct. Her
life, her perpetuity, depends upon the
propagation Of her saving doctrines.
The pa has seemed TO Indicate that
churches, like men, are capable of only
so much energy and enthusiasm. Some
have given heart and soul and energy
to the immediate conversion of sinners
and had no power or resources left to
do more. Under John Wesley all the
machinery of Meth odism was directed
to the immediate conversion of souls.
For one hundred years after he gan,
his folio vers in all lands regarded sim
full men as pyramids to be plucked from
the burning" Many came At last to
believe that the supreme nd of all
church and Christian end savor was
the salvation OF souls. Revivals en-
gross ed the attention of people and
to this end. Nothing was worthy the
attention of the church that did not
promise speedy results. That was a
fruitful field and those were marvellous
years.
1t seems strange to Us that they did
not see that they were doing only a
part of the work to which they were
sent. The result was that thousands
of their converts vent to other church
es where they could have the atten-
ton aud training they needed.
Some denominations not giving their
heart and ife 10 revivais md urgent
appeal for the unconditional sur ender
of ipuers, turned their energies toward
The educa ten. instruction and refue-
ment OF their fnck. AS a result they

held IN other churchs: but their flock

Habit and Character.

Rev. J. T. French preached yester-
day morning from the text, "He who
believetb on the son hath everlasting
life, and he who believ eth not the son
shall not see life: but the wrath of God
abideth on him" John 1. II:36. The
speaker said in part; Our theme is a
Christian character with its general
and specific applications. This is a
subject wide in its range, comprehen-
sive and deep. Character is not con-
solidated habit, and habit is formed by
repeated action. Character is habit
conceutrat into one action. Christ
ian charac err is power-a great in
1uence. 1t is the foundation of so
ciety, it results to the good Of society.
Character will some day bring a
proof of its nature. Character is the
sta ndard of human life. If the char.
acter of a community is not CD q par
low par. am glad that l live in q
country of liberty and freedom, where
men are willing to lie down aud die TO-
liberty and the cause OF human free
dom take the Bible out of country
aud that country will fail of it's own q
accord. The Bible is the key stone of
the arch of our nation. l honor the
men who are going out to defend this
in the interest of humanity s
cauSe'
The speaker then held that the truth
of his theme wss borne out not only In
a national way, but it was true in tb e
case of communities and individuals as
well. Your standards of character can
not be above Christ, the man of Cali
lee. No man has ever excelled him, or
lived beyond him. Any man who re-
fuses 70 live up to the standa rds Of
Christian character is mean man, and
can not be honest with himself. Napo-
leon was one of the greatest demOraliz-
ers of any time. He was moral
ly depravad man, notwiths and
ing his worldly greatness. R-pu-
tation is what man seems tC
