Methodist Church, conducted a pentecostal
service in which large congregation took
part. After the song, Rock of Ages"
the evangelist preached stirring sermon.
He talked Of Saul as a great man. "a
small man." said he will drive men, but
a great man will drive oxen. 1t takes a
great man to rise above criticism and go
on driving the cattle. Very few men can
stand elevation. Saul was such a man,
but jealousy came into his nature. You
may as well expect to put Rough on Rats
in your stomach and live as to have jeal-
ousy in your heart and expect to be happy"
The evangelist said the young women were
largely responsible for Sauls jealousy In
their singing the praises of David. They
selected the wrong style of song. There
is so much that Is done and said that
brings harm and disaster that is not in
tended to do harm. These things are done

Him. There was time In Methodism when
we knew Him. It's one thing to admire
the character of Jesus Christ and another
thing TO come to Him With broken heart

Mr.. Morrison could not refrain from taking
a quiet "shot" at the Pope and remarked

He begged those who are trampled with
