REV. ID. r.. LUCAs's SERMON.
He Is Heard at the Central Christian
Church.

Rev. d. r. Lucas occupied the pulpit at
Central Christian Church yesterday morn
ing and preached an interesting sermon on
Associations with Jesus" He took for his
text Acts iv, 10, 'They took knowledge of
them, that they had been with Jesus In
part, Rev. Lucas said:
Association with Jesus cannot now be
personal as it was with the apostles, but,
nevertheless, men are still Influenced or
nodded by their knowledge of Him--influ-
enced by the teachings of Him. To be a
Christian is the highest and best position
a human being can occupy. If a man has
been taught in the school of Christ he will
be found to have these characteristics:
First, he will be open, frank and fearless
I'm the announcement of his convictions,
and never be ashamed of his calling; Sec
ond, he bows to Jesus as King, the one who
is Lord of life and death; third, he feels the
full force of personal dignity; he is not
matter, but feels that he is above and con-
trolls it: fourth, he confesses that he is
pilgrim on the earth and knows that he
cannot be satisfied here. Wealth, fame or
long life. none of these afford any perma-
nent satisfaction.
Earth has its burdens. The man who
looks upon the face of William Mckinley
now will see the greatest change wrought
in the last -FOUR years. HIS lace is
marred with lines of care and Scared we
might also say, with the burden he has
borne. He has heard the trumpet of fame
to it's widest extent, but every blast on that
instrument has only brought with it
greater burden. Fifth, Christian recognizes
the discipline of suffering. Christ, Paul
tells us, was made perfect through suffer-
ing and all His disciples must follow in His
footsteps and meet the discipline of life by
passing bravely through its sorrows and
trials. Sixth, or lastly, Christian believes
in the final triumph of truth and right on
this earth. He compares His kingdom TO
the leaven in the meal. and also to the
mustard seed, the smallest of all SEEDS
yet IL became a great tree, or, as David S
vision presents il a little stone hewn out
of the mountain without hands and rolled
on until Ii filled the whole earth.
THUS symbolzing the ultimate triumph
of the kingdom of Jesus the whole
earth the desert of Chinese idolatry must
yet give way to the reign of Jesus of
Nazareth For the Christian sees ever the
fulfillment of that verse in Mrs. Howes
Battle Hymn Of the Republic and il is well
for us if we can see to-day as she saw in
the days of our great war when she wrote:
II have read a fiery gospel writ in bur-
nished rows of steel:
As We deal with my contemners, so with
you my grace shall deal
Let the hero born of woman crush the SER
pent with his heel
Since God is marching on"
