LORDS DAY DISSERTATION
A Sermon by Rev. Oiiphant at the First
Christian Church Last Night.

"A sermon py rev. OHpnaut dt Tue rlrsl
Christian Church Last Night
Last evening at the First Christian
church, Rev. G. w. Oliphant conducted
the regular service. His sermon on
Lords Day Dissertation was very
plain talk to the large congregation
present, in which Rev. OllDhant ex-
planned his views ON the right and
wrong way of observing the day set
aside for worship. His remarks were
interspersed with anecdotes OF real hap
penings, which illustrated very clearly
the points touched upon.
Rev. Oliphant first spoke to some
length on the observance OF the Sab
bath. He said the commandments OF
Christ are for our good and in them
the Lords Day is set aside for rest,
worship and communion with Christ.
No wise man or woman should fail 10
observe the Sabbath; first, for his or
her own sake; secondly, out OF regard
! TO Gods law A Christian man or VIC
| man should faithfully observe the laws
governing Sabbath day if only for his
or her influence counts for a great deal
| in the congregation. People endeavor
to excuse themselves that Sunday is the
only day ON which they can spare the
| time from their business. The inf1u-
/ ence of such church members is not
| that of any ideal Christian. When
member of good standing in the church
attends the parks on Sunday there are
many of their friends perhaps who see
| them or hear Of them being there.T The
personal influence of such a church
| member is not likely to be for the good
of the law and order of the church.
Certain principles carried cut excuse
what would otherwise be dissertation
of the Sabbath. The principles are Of
| necessity, mercy and life. The healing
! of the sick on the Sabbath which Of
tentimes entails breaking OF one of
the commandments is justified. Any
thing done on the Lords Day which is
governed by any of the three principles
mentioned, is right and justified in the
sight Of God In speaking of the habit
of number Of business houses which
engage in Sunday selling, Rev. Oil
plant said that the saloon keepers, who
keep open On the Sabbath, were no
worse in the sight of God.
The advantages of proper obser-
ances of the Sabbath are very great
even to persons who own pleasure re-
sorts. People of a nation who do not
observe the Lords Day properly are
treading on dangerous ground, if only
for the conditions of the morals of the
people as a whole. A people cannot
exist without religion and the princi-
pies implied therein. Proper observ-
ance of the day is for most direct
advantage to the church, for anything
that interferes with the church, inter
feres greatly with the law and order
of the community at large Six days
are sufficient in which to enjoy the
| pleasures of life without encroaching
upon the day set aside for worship.
In closing, Rev. Oliphant called up
| on the congregation not to underesti-
mate the power of personal influence
and said it would be his daily prayer
| that the influence of the members Of
his congregation would be of the high
| est standard.

LAST SUNDAY SERMON
Preached by the Rev. n. S. Thomas a ST.
Matthew'sP T. II. Church.

Preached by the Rev. n. S. Thomas at ST.
Matthew's T. Il. Church.
The Rev. N. S. Thomas preached his
last Sunday sermon as rector of st.
Matthews P. E. church, last evening,
and he was heard by very large con-
gregation. He made no reference to
his approaching departure for Phila-
delphia The Rev. Mr.. Thomas will
conduct the Thanksgiving services on
Thursday, at which time he may say
few words. concerning his departure.
His sermon was an appeal for the
exercise of the faculties of the viii
and heart, rather than the intellect.
i spiritual matters. He stated that
theology moves along like any other
science, with its changes, and it's mis-
takes. The prayer book appeals very
little to the intellest. God seems
to think little Of the intellect.
Yet many seem to regard His
church as unnecessary, and in
situations of learning as all suf-
ficient.. The speaker said it was time
to stop the appeal continually to intel
1igence The Lord showed the need,
uOI " 1lIOIS lSdCulAS, DuG VI H1OAO pOW-
er. Christ came, not as teacher in
the sense that he told men what to do
and what not to do, but to show them
the necessity of a renewed nature. His
word was simply follow Me-" If a
man knows what he is here for, he
cares nothing for few moral judg-
ments, and to see man grovelling
after higher intellectual standard in
his religion-that is not what God
wants. He vouchsafed Himself to us,
and we should turn our attention more
and more from the intellectual side of
our religion to those less understood
faculties of the will and of the heart.
He wants the bending of the win in
submission to Him. even if we do not
| understand. He wants us to love Him.
THE fool hath said in his heart.
there is no God" This is the language
Of David the Psalmist. Every man
knows there is a God The man is a
fool who looks at these people and
pews, who looks at the wonders Of
nature, and says "it happened" But
, men who know there is a God say
there is no God for me- because God
is in the way Sometimes it hurts to he
with Jesus Just as it hurts vice to
be in the presence Of virtue, it hurts
virtue to be in the presence Of vice.
| God, religion, sometimes gets in the
way Of mans ambition, Of his strug-
gle to reach a certain goal. Too often
religion is set aside.

AN INTERESTING SERVICE
at ST. Andrews Mission on the South Sid
Last Evening.

at ST. Andrews Mission the South Side
Last Evening.
An excellent sermon upon the work
of home and foreign missions was de-
livered by Bishop Peterkin to a large
congregation at st. Andrews Protes-
tant Episcopal Mission on the South
Side last evening.
The text Of his sermon was according
to st. Luke $50, and his remarks were
thoroughly appreciated by those pres
ent.
The clergyman spoke of what the
people were required to do for the ex-
tension of Gods kingdonl in the world,
saying that we should ,ray the Lord
10 stir up the good work Of the people.
Though We have been discouraged,
he said, "let us answer like Peter. If
the duty is so manifest what binders
people from doing the work of Christ's
kingdom in the World. He then re-
ferred to selfishness and worldliness be-
ing the two great hinderances in the
work Of the Christians and thought that
selfshness might be called the radical
sin of the world. Anything that is
the object Of Gods care and love, he
continued, ought TO be the object of our
care and love.
I He then called attention to the work
of missions at home and abroad, say
ing, ITO show your willingness to do
great things you must do the little
things that come before you In ex
planning mission work he showed that
the returns for work in foreign lands
is greater than the returns for work
at home, remarking that we ought to
trace with enthusiasm this campaign
and endeavor to make Gods light felt
throughout the land We christian
people, he said, ought not to forget
that if it is Gods work it will prosper.
Pray God that He may stir UP our souls
and make us have a high feeling for
Christ's word.
In his opinion in order to overcome
these hinderances We must be ready to
do anything that God may call us to
do. We must also be obeiient for
obedience was the chief characteristic
Of the greater men in the Bible We
must count no work small when it has
purpose in the light of God. He
thought there is no position so glorious
as to be a servant of God and as an
effort to overcome these hinderances
we must not only be ready to do things
and count no work small, but that we
must not wait for others to do.
In regard to duty Bishop Peterkin
advised that we recognize duty at home
and abroad and thought that another
