REvuAR. MOoREs SERMON At
ASBURY MEMORIAL N. c. CHURCH

Rev. II. y. Moore. the new pastor OF
the Asbury Memorial NJ. II. church.
preached 10 a large congregation last
evenths. taking for his text christ's
adm6nition, Come unto. Me all ye that
labor and are heavy laden ard viii
give you rest" Mr.. Moore said In part:
"The heavier the cross the better the
man. God never innicts heavier crosses
than We are able to bear. though IL may
seem at dimes that he does. We cannot
escape from the crosses and the small
worries OF life and must bear up under
them as best we can. To those who are
struggling in this way the words of
Christ come with peculiar significance.
The soul that drifts along through
life finds no rest except In God, and in
Him finds a shelter from all evils. Your
burden viii crush you IL you attempt TO
carry 1t alone. for no man can keep
himself unsullied unless he has clutch
ed God. You may make brave fight.
but II Is a futile struggle and will bring
only disaster. Are we weary and heavy
laden Is the responsibility OF daily
life too great for us? Are the burdens
of life so heavy that we say sometimes,
or feel like saying with the overburden-
ed one of old, If had the wings OF a
dove i would fly awak?' We need not.
IL Is for us 10 carry out our duties and
do our work heartily as unto the Lord.
To feel that there Is no place too hard.
or no circumstances TOO pressing 70
beat us.
I'VE all bear our own burdens and
we all have our crosses to carry. Let
US not infict our troubles upon our
friends, but let us tell Jesus all OF our
sorrows and cast on Him every care
and let us have peace. such peace As
He had who stood quietly but unflinch-
ingly before Pontius PLATE. Then shall
We partake of the travail Of Christ's
soul and be satisfied
