LAW Of GIVING
THE GREAT LAW
SO Said Pastor Avery, in His
Initial Sermon at Harrison
Street Church.
TWO GLASSES CONFIRMED

BISHOP NICHOLSON, or PHILA-
DELPHIA, AT ST. LUKEs, AND
BISHOP COLEMAN, AT TRINITY,
EACH RECEIVED A CLASS OF
TWELVE NEWS OF OTHER
CHURCHES.
Rev. Walter E. Avery, recently ap-
pointed pastor of Harrison Street NJ.
E. Church. to succeed Rev. Ralph T.
Coursey, preached his first sermon in
the church yesterday, to a large con-
gregation. His text was from John j.,
A: Jesus saw Nathaniel coming TO
him, and saith to him, beholdl an Is
raelite indeed, in whom is no guile"
People in olden days said the pas
tor, when they received anything
beneficial, Immediately went to share
it with their fellow men.
"The law of giving is the great law.
Jesus came to this world to impress
that great law upon all persons. In
the first place ! desire you to notice
how Jesus addressed Nathaniel. He
appealed to his better elements. Jesus,
that to get the best out of men he must
appeal to them, and that law is in effect
and has the same force today. do not
believe in saying to a man you are
fit for the DEVIL but / do believe
there is some good in every man. We
may lay stress on mems faults, but
1t is not the way to succeed. You must
appeal to the better elements in them.
What this world needs today is a word
to strengthen and to help mankind.
There is just as much Christianity in
good sowing, CT in good selling, or in
good bookkeeping as their is in sing
ing Praise God, From Whom All Bless
ings Flow When the idea is gotten
that Christ can be present at the sew
ing machine, at the counter, or at the
desk, then will the correct idea of Chris
tianity be had"
