KNIGHTS AT
CHURCH.
Ascension Day Observed
by Knights Templar.

Yesterday was Ascension Day and St.
Johns Commandsry. No. I. knights
Templar celebrated the day by attending
services In Grace NJ, E. Church last even
ing. They were In fatigue uniform and
commanded by Past Comman der, j.
Parke Postlea DR., w. Writ King pre-
faced his sermon by q short history Of the
commandery. DR.. King chose his text
from st. Luke "a, so aud 81: "And he
led them out AZ far as to Bethany and he
lifted up his hands and blessed them. and
1t came to pass, while he blessed them,
He was parted from them and carried
up to heaven" The preacher in part
said:
The forty days that had elapsed since
the resurrection had been days Of thrilling
interest to the disciples. The lonly thing
that troubled them were the resurrection
appearances of their Master. Christ who
came into the world to work out Its re-
demption. had accomplished His mission
After describing the scenes Of the asoen-
sion Of the Saviour, DR.. King observed
that skeptical men say 1t 10 folly to con-
ceivo of the ascension In defiance Of all
natural law of gravitation, He that
made all law Is able to ignore all law, or
control oil law at all times" continued
the speaker.
I'VE should look on Christ as still the
same, We are not TO think Of him as
different from when He was on the EARTH
do not wish to say His ascension body is
the same He had before His death. But he
Is not dead. He has triumpbed over death.
He still reigns and will reign forever
more.
He Is to come again to the earth, Tho
Jews had just as clear promise OF the
first advent as We have of the second ad-
vent 1t an utter waste OF time to try
to learn when 1t will be. but In q glorifled
form He Ia to come down to mon. He
may come at any time, What reasons
have we for thinking the time Of His COM
would we be ready. or, Is 1t possible, that
you who made so much Of His first com.
ing may be caught off your guard when
He again appears in His glory"
