SERMON ON THAT SUBJECT.
Rector Of Holy Comforter Spoke from
Text. "Be Content With Such
Thhngu ~ We Have"

At the morning service yesterday at
the Church of the Holy Comforter, the
rector, Rev. Stewart Mcqueen. spoke
on contentment, his text. being Heb,
xiii. !. BE content with such things
a. ye have
Mr., Mcqueen said:
These eight simple words. set forth
q profound and far-reachins principle
Of the Gospel. They give US also
practical and philosophical truth for
application in daily life. Therefore
shall We do well to carefully consider
them. Therefore. should we try to re-
alixe their meaning by personal use In
the sphere of our own needs and DIM
culties. Now. let as see what ST. Paul
means when he says, BE content with
such things as ye have"
In the hrst place. II is evident ne
does not mean to forbid progress. ad-
ysncement in material things. Our
common sense tells US this. He does
not forbid the gaining Of worldly goods
through right methods. Nor does ne
intend to say we should not labor ana
toll and seek to set more than our
present necessities require. Far from
it. for such Is not only the right OF
the Christian. 1t is his duty.
Suppose We emphasize the nrst poI-
tion Of the apostolic Injunction: BE

This means we are not to desire SO
strongly more than we already have

our present possessions, which 1s just
the case with all covetous people Par

rebellious and unhappy and respondent
because we have not more. and yet, at
the same time lawfully strive for more.
Again. You should carefully note
what II is st. Paul bids us be content
with. It is with things.-that Is. OBJ
1ects outside of us. external to US, ana
which are no essential portion of US at
all. In q word, the truth he enforces
applies to what we have. and not to
what we are. We may have little. and
vet be much in Christian manhood or
womanhood. st. Paul. who was inspir-
ed by the Holy Ghost, would never
have said: BE content with what We
are" He could not dare give such an
Injunction. why? Because. content
rdent with what We are, would De inc

nothing of development in the various
departments Of our nature as being ere

crystalline theory OF structure is
offered by G. T. Beilby. a British ex-
perimenter, to explain the hard and soft
states of metals. The ordinary con-
dition Is crystalline. when the metal
Is soft, but In sudden cooling there Is
no time for the molecules to fall into
regular formation. and the resulting
solid Is amorphous and hard. The CO.
existence of crystalline and amor
phous layers accounts for the variety
of structure in malleable and ductile
metals.
