Paul. 81 beseech you therefore brethren
that we present your bodies q living sac
riilce." These words were;spo ken to be-
levers, not to sinners. They had a
knowledge OF God and the duties, they
owed TO him. We should be absolutely
submissive to the will Of God. All our
powers, mental, moral and physical
should be given to him. Notsas atdend

churches, on the streets or, wherever

at night DR.. Yocum preached, to a
good audience. one of his very best SER
mons. The services proper commenced
in the evening with a song service. Rev.
C.. d. Smith, pastor Of the New, Mar

DR.. Yocum spoke from the theme:
1.-THE incarnation OF Christ" using the
words of Simeon. which he spoke when
he took the child Jesus In his arms and
blessed him. The highest summit Of
human events was reached VIXEN Jesus
WIS born, when the son 7lof God be-
came incarnate. to live a sinless life, to
die the death of the cross and to rise
again to redeem the human race. His
coming was announced by the heavenly
choir. The song sung was GLORY TO
God in the highest. on earth peace and
good will to men," This song was
taken up by men and has been sung
all down the ages and will be sung US
long US men live to sing It. The speak
er held up as a pattern the life OF good
old Simeon. He was a just man and
devout and he was waiting for the con-
ISOLATION OF Israel.
But 1t is impossible to report such a
sermon. To be appreciated 1t must be
heard. A good audience listened to 1t
with the deepest attention.
