DIR. JOHN ANDERSON.
breaches an Eloquent Sermon at the
Court House Sunday Gods
Attitude Toward the Race
of Mankind.

The writer has seldom listened TO a
more eloquent sermon than the one
preached at the Court House yester-
day by DIR. John Anderson from the
text found In Zech. II 10: "And /
will pour upon the house OF David and
upon the inhabitants Of Jerusalem, the
spirit Of grace and supplication; and
they shall look upon me, whom they
have pierced, and they shall mourn
for him as one mourneth for ar only
son, and shall be In bitterness for him,
as one that is in bitterness for his first
born"
A vivid picture was drawn OF the
apostasy and sins OF Israel and their
Punishment and dispersion to the ends
OF the world.
Notwithstanding the curse Of God
upon the people for their sins, culmi-
mating in the o%rueihxlon Of the Lord,
there was hope, through the promises
OF God, that they will yet be restored.
The preacher then drew apicture Of
the Gentle world, as set forth in the
dark catalogue OF sins in the first
chapter OF Romans, showing that they
had reached a depth OF d~epravity
never Appropriated by the Jews.
In the last half OF his sermon he ex.
hibited Gods attitude towards the
sinner, both jew and Gentle, as one
Of love and mercy and of endeavor tc
recover to Himself those who had
sunk TO the lowest depths of sin. II
was in this part OF the picture that
the eloquent divine rose to a pitch OF
public oratOry that / have rarely, in
these last days, heard surpassed OF
equaled.
AS he drew the picture of the PEN
itent sinner gazing pom the pierced
side OF the Lord We realized, as rarely
before, that "there is life for a look 10
the Crucifed One" The deep bitter
ness Of the penitent was eloquently
illustrated, as in the text, by the Jew
mourning for his first torn and only
son. There could be no deeper sor-
row than this to the Jew.
The walls Of the old Court House
have often echoed to the eloquent
words Of politician and lawyer, but
no theme can inspire such eloquence
from the lips of the orator as the one
our preacher had for discussion Sun
day: 1.-THE Attitude Of God Towards
the Race Of Mankind" No oratory
can equal pulpit oratory when the
theme is "Jesus and His love" and
the preacher is ''Rlled with all the
fullness Of God.m
One Sunday more in the Court
House and then the Methodlsts hope
TO be In their beautiful new church.
With such a preacher as DR.. John An
derson and such a Presiding Elder as
DR.. Prltchett and one of the most
beautiful churches In Missouri they
certainly are TO be congratulated and
have grounds 70 hope for a bright
future. LAYMAN.
