REV. Mr.. MORGAN TALKS
OF DUTY OF CHRISTIANS
Second of Series Of Lectures at New
York Avenue Presbyter-
ian Church.

The second Of a series Of lectures eX-
tending over this week was given yes
terday afternoon and last night at the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church
by the Rev. G. Campbell Morgan. as
president of the Mortified Sumner
School for Christian Workers. NOtwith-
standing the threatening weather. there
was large and fashionable attendance.
The Rev. Mr. Morgan spoke of the lie
OF Christ and the duty of Christians to
follow him. He said it was impossible
for us to initiate him in detail, but that
the underlying principle OF his deeds
and life should serve as a guide to a
trJe Christian life.
rs 10 not strange" said the speaker,
that We know so little Of the life Of
Christ? OF all the lives Of all our pub
lie men, there is none of whom we know
less than Of Jesus Christ. Yet IL is solely
through that meagerness Of detail that
we are enabled to follow in his foot
STEPS
I'VE have no details OF the boyhOOd
years OF Christ. The first we knew Of
him was when he appeared before the
prophets at the age OF twelve. Then
he sinks into Oblivion in a small village
for eighteen years by far the longest pc
riod OF his life. His preachings covered
a space OF but three years. so you see
that but small percentage OF his life
is laid before the public as an example
Tor them 10 follow. In fact, IL is i'm
possible for us 10 follow in his foot
steps If we must confne ourselves to de
tails. There is but one way in which
we can initiate him, and that is by ad-
herring 10 the grand underlying princl-
Piles that guided him in his career"
