Rev. c. c. ROwlison Speaks of 1t I'm
His Opening Sermon.

Rev. Carlos c. Rowlisor. preached his
initial sermon as pastor Of the Third Chris
tian Church yesterday morning. His sub
ject was The Mission of the Church." his
text being taken from Matthew v. 20: FIX
cept your righteousness exceed the right
eousness Of the scribes and Pharisees we
shall in nowise enter into the kingdom Of
heaven" The pastor said in part:
The Pharisees were among the most re-
hgious people the world has ever known.
Their religion was with them from the mo-
closed again in slumber. And yet Jesus said
OF them, 'Ye compass sea and land 10 make
him fourfoid more a child of hell So a
church may be exceedingly jealous and yet
fall FAR short OF its real mission. Jesus or
ganized no church during his earthly mis-
sion. and so far as is recorded. he made men,
ton or the church but twice. This ought TO
De evidence enough that His central pur-
pose was something other than the organ
tzatfon OF worldwide institution The
apostle calls the church the body of Christ.
and as such Ii ought to know what was the
central principle OF His life work and in His
bodily absence TO accomplish that for Him.
Inc fundamental purpose OF the ministry of
Jesus was not TO develop the religiosty OF
the scribes and Pharsees. but II was 10 lead
men TO attain such a character of manhood
as is described In part N the remainder OF
say. Christ lived and Instituted His church
for the purpose OF developing in men and
women godlike characters. and this is the
mission of the church to-day
How we'll has this purpose been attained?
Compare our average man IN this Christian
city with the ideals OF character In the
verses which follow our text. The civil law
like that OF Moses, can take little account
or mans habits and passions When the
deed Is done the man Is guilty not before
But Jesus says, He that Is angry with his
brother is in danger IL Is the habit OF
anger which leads TO murder The real muir
derer Is he who yields TO the passion. He

raging beasts that tear each other. So that
is not adultery alone where the deed is done
but the lustful look is the sin II, heaven =
sight The prevalence of enforcement in the
time of Christ was the evident sign TO Him
of the hold that the deadening vice had
upon the people. Such sign IL may be TO
US. and there never was time when the
church should more earnestly demand a
Christian standard or social and personal
in the years 1896. 1886 and 1897 there were
issued In our county 81 marriage licenses

This morning, at Lindley Hail. in the
presence of a large audience, DR.. J. p. d.
John. of Greencastle, formerly president of
De PAW University, preached the bacca-
laureate sermon. He took his text from
Matthew xvi. %: For whatsoever will save
his life shall lose it: and whatsoever will lose
his life for my sake shall find it,
DR.. John began by saying: 1T is funda-
mental truth. both In nature and Christian
ity, that the fittest survive and the unfit
perish. In nature the fttest survive by
living and the unfit perish by dying; in
Christianity the fittest survive by dying and
the unfit perish by insisting on living Who
are the fittest?" he went on TO ask. From
the mere material plane they are those
who do the most fer themselves and the
most against others. The survivors are
those who fight hardest for themselves-as
me non with the snarpest teeth. the strong
for blood. Only an infinitesimal fraction
OF the contestants survive. For every tree
that lifts its head 10 the sky there were
thousands OF others that started BY uni
verSal instinct the animal and the yege-
table fight for self-preservation
The essential difference between Judaism
and Christianity is their attitudes toward
self and nonself. Judaism stretches out IFS

What is meant by the self-crucifixion of the
gospel? All that IL is possible for the words

cells will be replaced by newer. sturdier
ones. There is no spiritual life that does
not come from self-crucinxion. We must
love our enemies better than ourselves
That is what Christ did. Is self-crucifixion
possible? Is il not a chimera a dream OF
the enthusiast? il can be done. 1t will be
done universally when men come 10 see
