Most people would regard with dis

Simmer has stacked before him. but
he is used to experiences of this kind.
for during late years his mail has at all
times been heavy. He takes in the
contents of a letter at glance, and as
quickly digests it's contents and di-
vines the motives that inspired the
writer, however adroitly he may have
hidden them between the lines. A
good many of the writers of the pres

Rev. James Benninger, pastor of the
En,bury Methodist Episcopal church,
last evening preached the first OF a
series of sermons on the subject, "A
Love Romance in Three Parts and
his effort was appreciated by large
congregation. His theme for the first
discourse was 1.-The Kings Ambassa-
dor Seeking Wife for the Young
Prince" and it proved to be very inter-
esting and Instructive.
The speaker found the subject matter
for his most interesting love story IN
the time of Abraham. when he commits
stoned his eldest servant, i;liezer, to go
into strange land, where he had never
been, and pick out a girl 10 suit Abb
raham's son. Isaac. The servant was
rather skeptical about his ability to do
his masters bidding, but the subimity
of Abrahams faith soon overwhelmed
him.
His fidelity to Abraham. however. was
unuuestOnable. and the journey was
commenced T,lezer went to Nahor. in
the land of Mesopotamia. and checked
his little caraven on the edge OF the
city where there seemed to be fine
we'll of water. While there the servant
prayerfully asked God to direct him in
his mission and ere he had finished his
prayer. beautiful maiden appeared,
bearing pitcher on her shoulder.
1t was Rebekah. and without the
slightest idea that anybody was watch
ing her, she went to the well. Eliezer
fell in love with her Immediately, for
Isaacs sake, and his faith in God an
swering his prayer rose to the occas-
ion, and without any further ceremony
the servant proceeded to unfold his
plan.
The lesson drawn from Eliezer's faith
in God answering his prayer, and the
necessity for following Gods lead were
clearly brought out by Rev. Benjamin.
God leads those who are i'll the way"
he said, land when we talk of His Om-
nipresence we have but a vague idea Of
his proximity to us. but when we think
of him as working in and through our
lives, giving direction and leading us,
we begin to realize the meaning of the
Masters, "LO. I am with you alway.'
Rev. Benninger has built up a large
congregation in his new church. which
is located in a popular and growing
section of the city Next Sunday even
ing he will speak on The Proposal Ac-
cepted and the Journey Homeward," !"
and the final discourse will be about
THE Waiting Groom and the Happy
Wedding"
