u
II livered a sermon this week at
IN Ocean Grove which has been
commented on as the greatest
sermon of the season The Ocean Grove
Times speaks of 1t as follows:
"Rev. Or. r. +. Y. Pierce, pastor of
the Penn avenue Baptist church. Scran-
ton, Pa, was the preacher of the morn
ing.
His subject was ingeniously elabo-
rated from Rev. l1:1. And there was
given unto me a reed like unto a rod
and the angel stood saying, Rise and
measure the Temple of God, and the
altar, and them that worship therein
THAT God is Interested in His tenn
pie, mindful OF it's services, and jealous
of it's worship, may be clearly inferred.
Any neglect of worship or lack OF at
tention indicates decline of spiritual
power 1t is today as of old. The
temple prefigures the Church. In a
peculiar sense God is calling on us to
examine that which is so dear TO His
heart, the landmark and foundations
of truth in the doctrines of atonement,
a holy life and self-dtnying service.
Expansion should be the watchword
in our Zion. This includes the light
Of civilization, the open hand Of phil
Drawn of industry, and the heart of
Christianity.
"The world is longing for touch OF
Jesus. The old world only secs
Christ in a cathedral window, carved
in stone, or in n wayside shrine; hut
the modern minister's duty is 10 hold
up the crucifed, risen and glorited
Saviour of men in His real living pres
ence The bruised and hroken-hearted
are all about us. We must preach
His gosptl of peace and goodwill to
all.
1T is great to he an admired artist,
musician or diScoverer, but greater TO
be a winner of souls.
For. they that turn many to right
eousness shall shine as the stars for
ever and ever
"No mere synopsis can do Justice to
Dr. Pierces finely delivered discourse,
or bring out the telling points of IL
lustration and application by which it
was embelished."
