day, proving the kinship of the ages.
If we desire to be great in the king
dom of heaven we must be Christ-lke.
To be Christ-like we must emulate his
character as shown to us: First, in
his choice, which made him our Saw
iour. Second, His courage, as shown
by His taking upon Himself the con-
tinuity of His ministry. Third, His for
bearance, as exemplified by his silence,
which no injustice could break. Fourth
by His love, as eXemplified by His
spirit of forgiveness. The Christ char
acter was cultivated through His COM
munion with God.
We should commune with God. The
preparation for His sacrament before
us is best made by looking into our
own hearts. We should learn to see,
eye to eye, to God.
At the close of the sermon the Lords S
Supper was administered. The pastor
was assisted in the communion service
by the former pastors, Rev. Boards
ley, of Scranton; Rev. Tillinghast, of
Towanda, and Rev. Drumming, of
Springfield.
