BISHOP COLEMAN AT ST. ANNE'S
AT the services held at st. Anne's P. e
Church last Wednesday night, (Ash Wed
nesday), Bishop Leighton Coleman preach
ed the sermon. good sized audience
greeted the bishop, who, during the forty
five minutes in which ne spoke, 1eiitdl their
undivided attention. The bishop is good
speaker and during his discourse he brought
out some fine points. He took his text
from First Corinthians, 9th chapter, oath
verse: $50 Run That Ye May Obtain"
Following are some of the salient points of
the bishops's sermon:
Spiritual life is in some respects very
like unto other forms of life. In others it
differs vastly, significantly, and irreconcilr
ably. In nothing is the resemblance
stronger than in the necessity of strug~
Cling. A race is not won without running.
Heaven will not be gained without strug-
Cling But there are conditions that must
be observed. One may run without OBJ
tanning. But if one strives manfully one
Will OpLulH ueolIlte tue ODSldCleS ludL may
be in the way.
Life is, after all, and obstacle race. The
devil is mans chieftest foe, and is all the
while putting obstacles III the Christians
course. To know and appreciate this is to
enable one to largely overcome them. Per
severance is essential. One must run to the
end to obtain the prize. A doctor, lawyer,
merchant, may for while labor and at
tain to certain point of success, but the
ultimate and perfect success is only by per-
serving 10 that end
Lent is to acquaint US better with the
obstacles in our Christian course and to
emphasize the necessity Of perseverance.
We do not wish, for want Of this, to lose
all that we have hitherto gained. We often
underestimate the resources and spirit of
perseverance of our spiritual foes, as the
British did in the beginning with the Beers.
"The prize is worth the striving and run
ming, and is open to all who strive man
fully and continuously Even everlasting
life and never-fading glory in the eternal
all-satisfying presence Of Almighty God.
