TWO GOOD SERMONS.
DR.. Carlile breaches AT Presby-
terian Church.

Seldom, il ever, have two such elo-
quent sermons been preached in the same
day from the same pulpit as those that
were preached yesterday morning and
evening at the Presbyterian Church. the
Kew. George ). Bell pastor, by the Rev.
Allen u. Carllle. ID. ID. moderator OF the
Pttsburg Presbytery. and pastor OF the
Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, OF Pitts
burg. Pa.
For his morning sermon DR.. Carlile
took the text from Romans 9Th chapter.
2Sth vs.: "And we know that all things
work together tor good 10 them that love
God. The preacher showed that all dire
calamities such as floods. fires, cyclones
and disasters of all sorts worked together
tor good. They bring humanity closer
together and make Gods omnipotence
felt and recogonized. The morning SER
mon was a masterpiece. DIR. Carlile is a
student and theologian in the highest
seLss. His practical illustrations were
timely and suggestive aud he never wan.
dered from his text an instant, keeping
his hearers in mind that call things work
together tor good to them that love
God"
The evening discourse was along dit.
ferent lines, but iully as strong and force
iul and as practical as the morning SER
mon. The text was John II chapter, sth
verse: "Now Jesus loved Martha, and
her sister and Lazarus" The theme OF the
sermon was "The kind OF people that
Jesus loves. The preacher said we are
fond OF singing "Jesus Lover OF My
Soul" but are we the kind OF people
Jesus loves1 He defined the three types
of people who are included in characters
similar to Lazarus. Mary and Martha.
He spoke OF the death of Lazarus whom
Jesus loved. and said "the embalming
influence OF culture and education do not
defy the King OF Terrors." He spoke OF
Lazarus as a "modest Christian" one
who perhaps never led prayer meeting or
took any active part In the church, yet
he said "God never wastes material so
precious to him as human soul. That
we are all saved for purpose; not only
that we may become recipients OF Gods
blessing but channels. A soul OF the Laz-
arus type had place and filed it."
In speaking of Mary the preacher said
she was ''modest worshiper.' He lik-
ened people to the atmosphere Of which
these three were typical: Lazarus, like
the air we breathe-unseen, unfelt, un-
recognized yet life giving: Mary like a
gentle summer zephyr that fans the cheek
| and Martha a perfect whirlwind. The
minister dwelt upon the busting, rustling
marthas that are good at everything and
think their way is the best.
DIR. CaIlile classified in three groups OF
two each those that embrace all types of
humanity. these are Peter and Martha:
James and Lazarus: John and Mary.
He said the love OF God is not confined
TO any one type. but urged that each in
diyidual retain his identity mo mat
ter how peculiar he be himself" He de-
ploTed the initiative inclination that
characterized some and said "since God
has made you to have sphere of infiu-
ence just so far as you transform yourself
you mar that influence. Alter admon-
ishing his hearers leach man to abide
in the calling to which he is called. and
the humber his calling the better" DIR.
Carlile closed with what he was pleased
to term ''life text" the 2Ist verse OF
Jude: Keep yourselves in the love OF
God. He said the word keep was the
Greek word garrison which means
marshal every force Of your being that
you may be able to resist the assault OF
the battering-ram OF Satan. "The man
that knows God loves him, the minister
declared. "walks uprightly."
