DEATH OF DR.. j. 0. LINDSAY.
Dr.. o. Lindsay died at his home In Due
West Friday morning, and was buried Satur-
day afternoon at four o'clock. DIR. Lindsay
had been Ill for some days, and on account OIL
his extreme age the worse was feared. from
the first. In his death the Presbytery loses
one of her strongest members his churches
beloved pastor, and the community an honor-
ed and upright citizen. The funeral services
were conducted by DR.. ]. Lowrie Wilson, at
Due West. A large part OF his Lebanon con-
gregatiou attended the funeral services.
Rev. James Boyce, President OF the Due
West Female College, preached III the Presby-
leriau Church sunday morning. Mr.. Boyce
is u magnetic speaker, and this fact together
with his intense earnestness, added much
TO the impressive sermon. The text was
chosen from Act 22-l0: What shall do, Lord
Mr.. Boyce said that this was no utterance OF
frightened man, but was that OF one who
desired to know his Lords will that he might
do 1t.
Cd. Paul had just been converted, he had step
ped from the slavery Of sin, into the freedom
OF the highest religious liberty. He knew not
his new duties and relationships; he strove TO
find them out by going directly to bis Lord.
So with those who are now born into the
Kingdom. they too must ask, What shall do,
LORD?
End. Not only did the apostle wish to
understand his new relationships. but this
cry Is a testimony OF his loyalty. 1t was ear
nest, whole hearted, nothing Is reserved, all
was thrown into the Masters hands. All was
yielded cheerfully. he was ready to 60 any
where, do any service, however lowly, at the
Lords bidding. He too must ask the question
In this way with perfect ubmission, willing
TO give our lives completely into Hills hands,
If we would make the most Of them. This we
will be the more willing TO do when we
remember His sacrifice Of Himself for US.
3rd. The past life OF the Apostle was review
ed. Up to this time 1t had been life Of SELF
He had enjoyed the praises and emulation of
listening thousands. He had been OF the
strictest sect of the Pharlsees, his life had
been blameless from a moral point OF view.
Yet now he recalled with horror this persecu-
tion of the Christians especially his assist.
ance in the martyrdom OF Stephen. In all
the twenty-five years of the Christian work
which followed this period, he was not able TO
forget 1t. How many OF US have scenes and
occurrences that we would gladly blot out
forever; since this is impossible let us ask,
What may l do TO undo this past?
4th. We may catch glimpse in this ques-
tion Of the Apostle future. The completeness
OF his surrender left his life in Gods hands
entirely, and behold the result. Not only
was his influence most powerful for good in his
own day, but his epistes have reached and
will reach countless thousands of whom he
never dreamed. What may our lives become
If we will but ask in the same spirit, What
shall do, Lord?
