"Pittsburg is delighted with DIR. Baker"
Mr.. Carpenter says Christ Church is the
most magnificent church in P:ttsburg,
and ore OF the two richest in America.
On Sunday the auditor um was filled.
Rev. Mr.. Baker selected as the
title ior his morning sermon, "Jews Re,
qnire Sign, and Greeks Seek After
wisdom" DIR. Baker said: "The dis
tinctive feature of Christ tanity is that it
can be preached. Philosophers never
preach; artist aud sculptor paint and
carve in solitude. Solitude is the condi-
ticn for exercise and expression of much
that is fine and furcibe. But when
man breaches he lays his own COR
science against that of other MN. He
claims society and not solitude. The
gospel as to its substance is personal, and
as 10 its method it is also personal. 1t is
preached by men, and not angels" The
Subject OF DIR. Bakers evening sermon
as "She Has Done What She Could"

welcomed DR.. Baker Sunday night at
