WONDERFUL LOVE
OF Christ, and His Willingness 10
Forgive Sin.
DR.. Stephenson, of Virginia, breaches
ST. ong and Earnest Sermon
at the First Presbyterian
Church.

DIR. p. d. Stephenson, of Virginia,
preached two strong sermons at the First
Presbyterian church Sunday at the
morning and evening services. He is
an able, earnest ard cons ecrated divine
and made a distinctly favorable inn
preston on those who heard him. The
subject of the sermon Sunday night was
"Chrlst's Great Love and Willingness
TO Forgive Sim" DR. Stephenson read
for his text the 39th to 43rd verses of
the q Il chapter of Luke.
He said the lesson was pregnant with
teachings which were impossible to
exhaust in two or three sermons, The
scene on the skull-shaped hill of Calvary
was remarkable and at the same time
re preventative scene. 1t was repre-
sentative of heaven and hell, of belief
and unbelief, of the penitent and unre
pentant. Unto all that repent and be
lieve the Savior was willing to help
them, the same as he did the thief on
the cross. The unrepentant thief who
cursed Jesus was an extraordinary case
of the amazing vitality of sin. Here is
a man cursing Christ-whom he had
probably never seen before; man who
bad done him no wrong; who, if he had
ever heard of at all, he had heard moth
ing save mercy, goodness, love and
power. 1t was the maturity of wicked.
ness and enmity of God. There is a
pronounced antagonism between heaven
and hell, between good and evil, between
good men and bad men. The carnal
mind is at enmity with God and with
everything ana every one that has the
goodness or the likeness of God. That
enmity is the root and essence of every
sin Sin is the same everywhere
enmity to God, and that springs from
unbelief. 1t is the same in you and me
and the impeuitent thief on the cross
Lawlessness and enmity to God are the
essence Of sin. 1t may be you have
none of those fagitous, coarse, bruta
sins which the thief on the cross had
you may be spoken Of as being honest
virtuous and fair in your daily transac
tons, yet you reject Christ, All Shat a
sinner has 20 do to ruin himself forever
in this world and in the next, is to d(
nothing
"Bu' !" said the speaker, ''let us pas
to far more pleasant picture thu
thief on the o. her side; who upbraideC
the other for cursing Christ, and begged
the Saviour to remember him when h
came into his kingdom He,wa3 u sin
cere, penitent, believing sinner. Whel
the change occurred we cannot tell
. Other gospels tell US that this man wa
also cursmg Jesus. Now. however, b
is changed. tt may be that the poo
crea' ure was able to turn his head lit
tie, and that he saw the poor, pailid
sweet face of the figure at his sid. |
may be that he heard the prayer of til
Saviour, as he said, "Forgiye them
! Father, they know not what they do.

But he showed evidence of faith in God.
We hear him speaking of "the king

me when thou contest into thy king

had the true ring of humility and sin

membered. His time was short, but it
was well improved He gave evidence

The preacher referred to death bed

lie had seen so many who thought they
were dying, confess faith in God and
then recover and 90 back into sin.
There was a vast difference between the
thief on the GRO and men to day. The
thief may never have had an opportu-
nifty of seeing Christ before, and if 50,
he embraced the first opportunity of
accepting him Was there one in the
audience who could say ps much?
The preacher said that the Important
thing of The lesson was its relation to
those who were listening to him. The
time for them TO act was now. 1t was
the accepted time. He thought Christ S
forgiving of the thief on the cross was
a most wonderful exhibition Of his
amazing love. Nailed to the cross,
suffering a punishment that had never
been known to the world before nor
since, his blood streaming from his
wounds, his body wracked with pain,
he could yet hear the whispered appeal
of the condemned thief 1t was re-
markable thing that Christ took as his
first trophy the thief on the cross one
who was probably from the slums OF
Jerusalem an outcast to virtue and
honor. 1t showed that men cannot get
too low but what Christ was willing
to forgive.
But the consoling and encouraging
feature of the whole scene is its bear
ing on you, said DR.. Stephenson
"Oftimes you feel the reproaches o.
your conscience. Your knowledge o.
yourself and your weakness makes yor
afraid you cannot live right, that Yor
can do yOul duty in the church, anC
that you II dishOnor Christ but yor
must remember that he is willing t.
help and sustain you, and here is tn,
place you must use your faith. Thu
whole picture is applicable to you
Remember that the Saviour of thu
poor thief on the cross who had not on
thing to commend him to God, is th
same Saviour who can save you.

Beloved Brethren: The most i'm
portant question which has confronted

fore us. We are without a pastor, and
in the selection of one who Will break
to us and to our families the bread Of
life, Is involved the spiritual growth
and we'll being of the members Of this
church, the training Of our children,
and the preaching of the Word to the
uncOnverted in the congregation and
community. 1t is the belief and teach
ing of the Presbyterian church that the
Holy Spirit works III and through the
communicates in congregation assem-
bled, in the call of minister, and that
His divine guidance will be given
when prayer of faith is offered for His
aid in this work.
IF we shall undertake to make call
upon any minister, guided alone by
reason and experience, we can but ex-
pect t. err. On the other hand, under
the guidance of the Spirit we cannot
make a mistake.
Thoroughly convinced of the above
| truths and actuated by an earnest de
sire that this church shall be provided
with minister of Gods own choos-
ing, the session of your church, at its
last regular meeting, ordered the prep
aration of this pastoral letter, and di-
rected that 1t contain a summons tC
the members Of the church, each and
all, to assemble themselves together
each Wednesday night, at the hour fol
prayer, in the church, and with humble
and united hearts, confidently relying
upon the promises of our God that Ae
will ever answer the prayers of His
people, wait upon him in earnest.

Spirit in the call of an under shepherd
to lead this flock in the way of all

as not to interfere with this privilege
of assembling together and looking tC
God for the blessings we so much de
sire at this period.
