Tho Ttoy. Charles II. Murray, ID. H., Says q
Very Important Lesson for tho Church
May bo Drawn From II.
In his morning sermon at st. A ndrew's
Church, Sunday. the Rev. Charles +.
Murray, d. D., preached on the third
temptation of jesus Christ, the text he-
ing st. Matthew, 4,S-l0: "Again the
devil taketh him up into IN exceeding
high mountain and sheweth him all the
Kingdoms Of the world and the glory of
them, and saith unto him, a these
will givs thee II thou wilt fall down
and worship me. Than saith Jesus
unto him, get thee hence Satan, for it
is written, thou shalt worship the Lord
thy God, and Him only shalt thou
serve" After discussing the tempta-
tion and Christ's triumph over it. and
considering the lessons to DO tirawn
therefrom for others. DR.. Murray said I:
"a very important Lesson for the
Church itself may bs learned from this
temptation OF our Lord. Lesson which
perhaps was never more needed than in
the present day. We live in an age of
extraordinary svangelistic zeal and
effort Tho editication md culture
OF tho individual spiritual life, the
building up Of strong churchea, OF In

zeal and Christian preaching. Ire

energies and efforts nj the church. But
tho iutunsty of this passion for saving
men may itself become peril to the
church. In its zeal TO save souls it
may become indifferent to the means
by which they are saved. The end,
however great in Itself never justiiies
unworthiness in the means by which 1t
10 attained. 10 resort to worldly aud
carnal methods for tbs extension of
Christ's Kingdom; to lose faith in the
power of the Gospel Of Christ to do its
own work, and to win its own way in
the world, to seek to add to the Gospel
the adyentitious aud Ineretricious glory
of this world; to attempt in one word
to do Christ's work with hands stained
with the impuritisH of this world, Ia
not only to imperil the purity and pre-
ciouHness OF the work itself; II is treason
to Christ and to God; II is the worship
OF the devil. When the ministry SO faI
