SERVICES IN THE NJ. e. CHURCH.
On last Sunday morning Rev. w. 8. Rich
lardson preached In the Methodist church OF
this city, taking his text from ST. John, Sra
chapter and first part OF 10th verse, "For Goa
SO loved the world that he gave his only Dc
Before beginning his sermon he spoke IN
substance as follows: "As LOOK oveE tn!s
congregation I see very few familiar 1aces:
served you here IN the old church many
changes have taken place, and some OF them
very sad but come this morning 10 tell you
thing that ensnses sa@
that is the message I bring you today, the
great central truth OF which is "God loves
every body" which Is the grandest dlsclosure
of God ever given 10 man.
The divisions Of his sermon were: Isl.
Human redemption has Its basis IN God g
fatberhood; and, second. In the GIT OF Cnrlst
Gods love fOunQ lI6 QlRQe6t S4pTSSSlOu. =.
From the frat proposition he showed that
we needed redemption and had II through
the vicarious sacrifice OF Christ, which re-
ldemption was q necessity on Gods. side.
Gods fatherfiood and love compels as to
come back Christ's suffering was necessity
l. of the divine nature Why does an earthly
father suffer for his wayward boy? Simply
because he js his father. -.
| From the second proposition he showed the
lunbounded love OF the father In the gift o.
Ibis only Son and that such love could not be
measured, and In the crucifxion he showed
the great suffering, trials and temptations
that were involved through the gift OF His In
finite love.
This love was beautifully. illustrated by the
shepherds search for the "lost sheep" aud
when found tenderly and lovingly lifting II
in his strong arms he bears 1t back safely to
the fold In conclusion he earnestly entreat-
ed any who might be out OF the fold to accept
this great love, and said, "if YOU are still lost
| il is because you won't let Christ save you.
His remarks were earnest, practical and force
full and claimed the closest attention or hlf
How fttingly beautiful and appropriate
that after Iapse OF 80 many long years this
beloved pastor should come again bringing
such message Of Gods love to his people.
AT the close of the service there was q gen
eral handshaking between pastor and the
lolder members of his congregation who gave
him q most cordial welcome back to this'hlt
charge Of long years ago.
