DIR. WILSON'S SERMON.
Acts II: &c was the text chosen by DR.. Will
son last Sabbath morning. And the disci-
| pies were first called Christians In Antioth.
The name Christian was first given not as
term OF reproach. as is sometimes stated, but
as one OF ofseparation. There were the two fac
lions OF the Jews, one following Jesus. the
Christ the other holding to the law OF Noses
| 1t was by the people OF Antioch that this dis
tinction was first brought on. ltsnould be 10,
day a term of separation from the things Of
the world.
The term was Individual. 1t was not the
church ITSELF but the members, each standing
alone, who were so called. AS the church re-.
| lation was not prominent then, we should
not make It too much SO now and glory 10
i the church to which we belong, rather than
| in the fact tha: we are Christians.
l The name indicated also not their rever-
ence and love for the person OF Jusus alone,
nor their admiration OF his teaching, but more
than this, 1t indicated their belief In the
atoDemept, their trust In 1t for salvation.
The term "The Christ, indicates that one who
should bring salvation and cleanse the people
from their sins. This name denotes our rela-
tion to the person OF Christ. He Is the mead,
we the mem bers he the Rock on which all Is
founded. When this relation is as close as II
should be the greatest joy, the greatest peace
will be the result
DR.. Wilson closed with strong appeal TO
those who had not become Christians 10 take
for themselves this name with all OF It's prlVi'
leges.
