Rev. n. f. Stahl, of Delaware City,
Delaware, formerly pastor of the
Green Ridge Presbyterian church, oc-
cupied the pulpit of the Sumner Ave-
nue. Presbyterian church last evening,
and preached an eloquent sermon. His
text was taken from Luke, NAP, But
one thing is needful."
During the course of his remarks
Rev Stah told of the circumstances
under which Christ uttered these
words, and how complicated are the
conditions of life today. The great
question Of the hour, he said, is how
shall We right our lives to be saved
under the existing conditions. Christ
knows the conditions which surround
us, and among them all there is but
one thing needful.
Poverty Is not the greatest curse in
life. and man can do without money
In this world health is a great thing,
a blessing from God in itself; VaCa-
tions, reputation and happiness are
not altogether necessary, none are
ncedful, it is possible to do without
them, but the sinner should have a
savior, the down-trodden and afflicted
should have a redeemer, and Jesus
Christ is the sinners savior, redeemer
and friend.
He Is the great helper who takes us
Ev the hand and leads us to an ever
lasting life. He is the king to rule
over and defend us under all Condi-
tiOns and circumstances, and his help
is the one thing needful
