For it was not the season of figs.
was the text of DR.. Scudder's sermon
yesterday morning at Central Union
Church. These words We're shown to
open up the question of the divine ma
ture of Jesus, and that of miracles. The
peculiar difficulties in the narrative of
the barren fig tree We're frankly met.
Among the lessons drawn We're the fol-
lowing.
There is a yearning in the divine
nature. The hunger of God is for fruit.
In the life of every organism a time
comes when the Master ha1ts beneath
the branches and if He finds no fruit
the words ring out, No man eat fruit
of thee henceforward forever Jesus
meant this of the Jewish church. The
same fated sentence has rung out in
the story of the nations. Fruit, 1 will
have fruit is the voice of Gods eternal
hunger-progressive, larger life in every
nation. In this day of corrupt BOSSES
sordid politicians, commercial leaders
ready to debauch city councils and leg
islatures in the interests of larger di-
vidends, when gold menaces the Ma
TONS life because it bulks bigger than
the common veal in the view OF the So
called better classes, the fruitless fig
tree reads to us its warning lesson. Be
ware! Let not this insiuupus poison de-
troy the Nations power to rise to loftier
and purer heights of civic life.
This whitening fig tree confronts
every church of Christ. It's housing
may be grand or mean, its service rich
in devotional forms or severely plain,
it's ministry gifted or ignorant; that
matters nothing. Is it fruitful? Does
it reach men and touch them with Gods
life? If not, beware, the whitening day
is near

EVENING SERVICE.

The four Sunday evenings in this
month are being used in Central Union
church as preparation for the return
of the pastor, DIR. Kincaid, in round
ing up the young people. A special Sc
ries of services has been announced
and last evening DR.. Scudder preached
the first sermon in the course, the sub
ject Being s'Why become a Christian
When Young?" Five reasons were out
lined: First, because of the Leader,
youthful, brave, never defeated, and
possessed of the most attractive per-
sonality.
Second, because of the relation Of
Christianity to the world. It's object
is to perfect humanity and it is sure
to succeed. It is glorious to be with
the majority. 1t is a million times
more glorious to be right. How in
comparably most glorious it is to be
both right and with the majority
Third, because Christianity is not a
finished product but is the result of
process of development in which ev-
cry adherent, be he young or old, wise,
or foolish, can contribute his labor to
make it what it should be, therefore
it appeals especially to us who are
younger. Christianity offers to every
one the opportunity to become a hero.
Fourth, because it satisfies ones nat
ure. The old style of Christianity
meant austerity. Christianity is not
rules. 1t is liberty-liberty not to do
wrong, anyone has that, but to do
right.
Fifth. because duty commands it.
