A SUNDAY SERMON.
Rev. Buffers Discourse on
Water OF Life.

Ter, rOurteentn verse.
"But whosoever drinketh Of the
water that shall give him shall
never thirst; bat the water that l
shall give him shall be in him
we'll Of water springing up into
everlasting life"
These words were spoken by the
Divine Lord TO the Samaritin wo-
man at the we'll. In studying the
subject, "Water of Life," my
mind reyerts to blessings of the
physical world attributed to water.
During the war with Mexico, Capt.
Thornton led an army one hun
dred and twenty-five miles across
a desert All day and all night
they travelled to find on early
morning. pure water. This world
is a great desert. Billions are of
the army desirious Of Stacking
their thirst with water of eternal
life.
Grace is divinely given. The
wages of sin is death; the gift of
God is eternal life and divinely
given. The plan OF salvation is a
divine plan. No new faculties are
secured by divine grace; divine as
pirations are infused. Without
aspirations, society or government
has no benefit. Milton, at twelve
years Of age, conceived ideas Of
writing "a poem. We find him
leading an irreproachable life. He
studied, took partin the wars of his
day and said he had power to de-
spisesthe man who aspired to take
his life. He accomplished his
work which has blessed following
generations. His aspiratio n 8
reached to something great. Sol
diersof Christ do not aspire to inn
itate example of the pastor but
they seek to initiate the example
- -. II N
We natice that saving grace is
cleansing -symbolized by water
which is pure. Sin does not dwell
in this flesh but has the soul for
its seat OF government. Until the
venom of sin is removed from the
soul all the higher and nobIer ef-
forts will prove abortive.
Sin produces filthiness. Go
where there are skeletons in the
closets and the social circle is rot
ten. Human nature is bad, and
behind the curtain evil is contin-
ual. "All have gone astray and
come short of the glory of God. !"
The remedy is in the gospel OF the
Lord, Jesus Christ--the fountain
of pure water. HE that drinketh
of this water shall never thirst"
I, Riches may satisfy for time
IL V cannot give solaoe for every
houA When adversely comes if
we have salvation we may be
stripped of prosperity, Of health
and of youth as a tree Of autumn
leaves; if the water Of life is ours
it affords full satisfaction.
The grace Of God makes mems
hearts sources Of good. Selfish
ness is Of the devil and must be
crucifled or we have no eternal
life. The carnal mind must be
destroyed. We have example Of
this in Saul Of Tarsus. When he
had been touched by divine grace
his life becamea power for good.
Divine grace saves men from bell
and from the fear Of death.

however. is only natural. The horse
has been taught to believe the din Of
battle to be quite meaningless and
without result. When in actual war;
fare. he sees horses and men around
him shattered and lifelcss. there is
nothing to suggest to him that that
same din OF battle and death are in
any way connected. and the reports
OF firearms, consequently. for him have
no terrors whatever. Tho whistling
