no ordinary man, that you must have
some wonderful inspiration some
whCrc.' But this did not satisfy the
wonderful Slviouv Of tho world. He
WAS not content to br considered Il
marvellous man he was not satisfied to
hn recognized by listening multitudcs
"s one who came to as!Onish or to ter
rify. H. said: "Whom say sc that |
am?" And Peter, answering for the
disciples, said, "rhou art Christ, the
Son Of the living I;Dd." "Blcsscd art
thou,' said Jesus, 81 say unto thee, Thy
name is Peter. and upon this rock
will build the whole church,"
Notice in the second place the consC-
qn"nt prrpetuation Of the church for the
purpose Of saving the children of men.
- long u this world shall last, what
ever may be the cons, qucntcs of rev
O,utiOns that await US as q nation,
whntrver may be our stand among the
great powers Of earth, whatever may
be the results Of our national policy, of
one thing we are assured, that so long
rs this great world stands, our Lord
Jesus Christ will not permit himself
TO be without Il witness, and so long
shall the church stand out before The
world as Il witness for God and as an
altrstation Of Christ's love for the chill.
drcn Of mon rs an tvidcmrc Of Gods
love and sOiicitudc for tie children of
mon, that thoy might find salvation, he
sent his own son in:O the world. Last
Of all, looking down from his high and
holy habitations, h consented to let
his son, his son consented to como
down into this world, leading Il life OF
humiliation, teaching the truth Of
Gods love for mon, that he might in-
ducc us to make Il discovery Of this
truth, this highest knowledge Of human
power. While upon the earth every
action OF Jesus was to convince us of
Gods love. From the beginning to tho
close Of his earthly existence, tho ul--
terror uhiect was to teach that God
loved us. And it. is II marvellous state
mnnt that never in the wonderful his
tory Of Jesus. never did there come to
him one man or woman with faith in
his power to save that wCrt away with
out getting the very thing that they
desired At his hands. H.. went about
doing good. IIy laid his hand upon the
lcpvr and he was we'll again and his
skin a. beautiful rs cvor. He laid his
hand even upon death itself and ruled
life, aud the glorious truth was mani
fest before the gaping, wondering null
,itudr.
And SO. dear friends, with this cen
trail thought upon our minds, VIC pro-
pose this aft,rnuon to lay the corner
stone of another church. The churches
that have gone before have been ring
ing the hammers OF time and VIC pro-
pose hy the help Of Cod to establish
another church and add another inilu-
encc to Gods great plan OF pushing the
highest and bust interest OF tho king
dom Of Christ IL .rc let us lay the cor
ncrstonr CT us congrcGatc, let us
unite our force, and here let us labor
praying for help, and looking to Him
for help until we shall see it rising in
all its beautiful proportions still higher
and higher until it has been completed
in the white light Of the bright sun
shine Of this country. The Lord bless
you in this noble work. The Lord in
crease your ability to help The Lord
strengthen you and keep you day by
day and very soon may it he my privi-
icgr to revisit your city and see tho
beautiful symmetrical proportions Of
your church. In it may | hear the
songs Of Zion sung. And may sons and
daughters here be born unto the Lord
Almighty OF such as shall be saved.
Going up from the sacred walls, from
each heart may this song Of triumph
go up.
al love thy church, Q. Cod" etc.
Now may God cheer you in this noble
Of hope and encourage you each day in
the work, and scizing the Inheritance
OF II faith that takes no donial may you
get stranger and stronger each day
that you live in this high purposc un.
til finally you shall bountifully succeed.
Let me say just one more thing, dear
friends Of Newberry. May Cod Of his
infinite mercy help you to be loyal to
the truth. Live day and night with AN
eye single TO his glory. And so may
you live that when life's iiful fever is
over, if should never again be permit
ted to stand in this sacred place, may
we SO live that rs one by one we leave
the post of honor only may it hc to re-
join each other where rv. rlasting
springs abide with never withering
flowers.
