 Rev. E. c. Tullar, pastor of the East Pearl Street M. F. church, preached a very helpful sermon at the morning service yesterday, it being his first ap- pearance in his new parish. His text was taken from I. Corinthians, first chapter, twenty-third verse, We preach Christ crucified.'' His discourse show ed Paurs deep concern for the church
 of his time at Corinth, which was then
 6 city of some 100000 inhabitants, made
 up of Jews, Greeks, Romans, Phoeni-
 clans, etc, and including philosophers, stoics and great teachers of the times.
 In meeting the arguments presented by
 these different teachers Paul presents
 Jesus Christ and Him crucified as his
 supreme thought, and the preacher
 thought that if such was the theme for
 Corinth two thousand years ago there
 is none better for our twentieth cen
 tury civilization. The preacher then
 dealt with Pauls purpose, which was one all-absorbing determination to
 know nothing and to preach nothing,
 save Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
 Another point which was made was the
 heroism of Paul through the preaching of Jesus Christ. It led him to forsake home, friends, fame and endure untold hardships All that others might have counted as wealth Paul reckoned as nothing in his enthusiastic announce ment of his faith in Jesus Christ The
 preacher showed Paul's recognition of the fact that man wants God and man
 needs Coda God that will walk and talk with men. Only in Christ and Him crucified is this need met Many of MT.
 Tullar's points were drawn from his own experiences and he would make 1 the text as the keynote to his ministry at East Pearl Street church, and his exhortation to the church to stand with 1 him was deeply impressive.
