TWO GHHD
SERMONS

Rcv. Francis S. Hort OF South Both.
lchum, preached In the Grove prp-bv.
tcrlan church sunday IT, took a.
his text for his morning sermon. Acts,
2G 20: And Paul said, would 90 God
that not only thou, but also a.l that
hear me this day were both almost
and altogether such as ! nm, except
for these bonds.
There are four grades Of companion
ship: lst, \ compauionship which is
merely animal in its nature, rs when
men congrcgate uUun the street or in
the stores 2nd, "a cumpauiouship o. Of
those who have the same employment ;
Bird, companion-hip of thought and
lth, compluion-hip of character
Paul's desire at all times was 20 bring
salvation to his fellow man with all
that it implied in the way OF purity
and righteous living aud his desire a
expressed in the text was for a com
panionship of the la-t-named sort,
| that of character
With Paul Jesus Christ was living
reality he believed that II was only
through a faith i'm Christ-in his death
and resurrection that mankind can
hope for salvation. The church faces
danger in many Of the teachings con-
cerning Christ which finds accept
ance today. We need to keep central
what Paul kept central and any depar-
ture from his teaching will weaken
the church and make its work falter
We are apt to associate with St.
Paul and others like him distinguished
for purity and goodness some power
which placed them above temptation.
But they were men of like weakness
tempted as we are. 1t is a blessed
boon for ps all that we may live for
Christ and living for Him dwell not
apart, but in the midst of the world,
its activities and temptations and yet
be strong and safe.
All this is a test of our faith. Do
we live as St. Paul lived: Saved our
selves do we wish and strive that 9th
ers may be as we are: Tempted our
selves do we suffer those who are
tempted: Unless this be true our
faith avails little and is only a mock
cry.
Rev. Herbert Ure of Mt Carmel oc-
cupied the pulpit of the MahonIng
Presbyterian church. He took as his
text, Acts, II :2S: For in Him we
live and move and have our being.
Following are the points of the ser
mon:
The supernatural in life.
There are four supernatural facts in
life: 1st., Gods omnipresence; 2nd,
Life; Bird, Aspirations of Mans
Soul; 4th, Beauty of the order in this
life.
From these two deductions We're
made: lst, The true religion must be
supernatural; 2nd, supernatural re
ligion is supernaturally received.
