INSPIRATION FROM HIS TRIP.

Rev. DIR. Fair Based Two Sermons
Upon Journey to the Rockies.
Rev. DR.. James Y. Fair preached at
both the morning and evening services
at the Independent Presbyterian
Church yesterday. These were the
first sermons DR.. Fair had preached
to his congregation since his return
from the International Convention of
Sunday school Workers, recently held
in Denver.
Both addresses bore more or less
intimate relation to the trip DR.. Fair
has just taken and to the experiences
of men and things it developed. The
morning sermon was based upon the
indestructibility of Gods word and
was drawn largely from the lesson
presented by the assemblage in Dem
yer of 1000 men, come from every part
of the world, for the purpose of devils
ing the best and most lucid methods
of instructing the young in the eternal
verties taught by the Bible.
At the evening service Dr. Fairs
text was taken from PslamS, xii; z:
Because thou hast been my help, there
fore in the shadow of thy wings will
1 rejoice"
The help that God gives to those
who love Him and keep His command
ments was the theme of the discourse.
The need of this help was shown in
the cry of the psalmist, who, strong
as he was. ascribed to the divine. as
sistance his ability to face and over
come the powers of evil and the trials
and temptations of the flesh.
DR.. Fair showed that Gods help is
freely given. He drew a beautiful il
lustration of his meaning from a lit
tie flower that he had seen poisoning
in secluded spot along the side of
the Rockies. Possibly only his eye had
/ ever beheld it and yet miracle upon
miracle had gone to point it's beauties.
| A miracle had created the seed and
miracle-a power beyond the ability of
man-had caused it to terminate and
to grow. Affair off on the tideless seas
the moisture for its growth was stored
| up and the mighty sun, a hundred mil
| lion miles away, had drawn this mois-
| ture into the clouds The winds of the
| air had waited the clouds across the
mountains and the attraction of grav-
| itation had drawn their store of mois-
| ture again to Mother Earth. 1t was
but an instance of Gods help for a
| simple flower; how much more would
| He do for man.
DR.. Fair said he never urged upon
any man the assumption of the Chris
| tan life save with the help of God,
because he realized that without such
help the attainment of the ideal was
| impossible of achievement.
The discoverer of Pixies Peak had
recorded in his dairy his impression
| that that lofty eminence could not be
and never would be scaled. And yet
years afterwards the path to the sum-
NIT had been found, and men and wom-
| en-. and even little children walked
| every day up it's gradual and easy as
cent to the wonders of it's HOMEGROWN
| ed summit
1t is so with the Christian life. To
| the doubter it's way seems dark and
rugged, and the attainment of its end
impossible for human feet. But with
the help of God, leaning upon Him,
resting and rejoicing in the shadow of
his wings, the way becomes easy, the
burden light and the multitudes of the
earth and of the ages tread the path
that finds its ultimate and glorious
| end at the foot of the throne
