Rev. F. P. Harris Again in
Ills Pulpit. In Other
Churches.

Rev. F. r Harris occupied tho pulpit Of
Scott Church yesterday for tho first time
in u month ho having been Ill with the
grip. Tho welcome extended him was a
cordial one. The evening sermon was on
biblical War Pictures the text being
Revelations 32O: "Behold, stand at the
door and knock. II any man hear my voice
and open tho door. will como in and sup
with him, and he with Nj"
Pastor Harris said that Christ never was
a brawler but there wei Q times when He
lifted up His Voice aud what lie said then
was OF great earnestntss. 1t was IN one OF
thess instances that he cried: Behold, be-
hold, behold" Behold Is u great word, be-
cause it speaks OF tho boundless privilege
of u human soul. The preacher said the
text presented beautiful panorama CT
word pictures, with which the Blblo is fill
cd. at docs not need II magic lantern
turned on screen III u dark room TO show
up these pictures In their glcry,' aided
Pastor Harris.
Three pictures are in the panorama pro-
sented In tho text, said the preacher. The
first is the human soul, pictured rs a cost
ly building or tabernacle. Christ is con-
cerned in it, rs it is OF infinite value to his
eyes, rs God said in the first p!ac, 1t
should be. Man was made In Gods image.
No temple like it has been mado since.
hi~h IN aarth in the
heavens, is tho imperial creation of Gods
handiwork, tho human soul.
The preacher spoke Of how the soul Is al
ways In peril, harrassed by the legions OF
the devil. 'If you have not Christ, then,
get Him at once" he advised.
Pastor Harris said the next picture pre-
sentsd in the panorama is the Savior. He
stands at tho very door of human hearts
He knocks, and says, "Behold, this is
Jesus" and he speaks Of sin, Its consc-
qucuces and Of the blessed blood Of Jesus
The last picture presented is the picture
Of salvation. He condesoends to be guests
OF the human soul, but what have we to
feed Him on" queried Pastor Harris. He
closed by showing how all could bavo the
SAVIOR as their own, could appropriate
Him. and could be like him.
