WITNESSING
FOR CHRIST. /"
Sermon BY Prof. j. c. Hardy at
First Methodist Church.

A synopsis seldom does justice TO a
a. sefmon, lecture or discourse. This
synopsis does nos do justice to the SER
mon delivered by Prof. j. q Hardy at
the First Methodist Church last Sun
day, but is published by request of some
Who heard and were delighted with it.
The speaker took his text from Acts
5-32. And we are His Witnesses OF
these Things" and said in part;
Every man at some time in his life
is a coward; every true man is, some
time III his life. hero. Peter, the
speaker OF today's text. only very
short time b.tore Inquired in very
different scene. He was a thorough
lew. and he believed with all his heart
that Christ, when he shoulu come,
would be a great ruler to free mis- peo-
ple. And so when he saw Jesus yield
himself without struggle TO tue sol
dlers, the world was in confusion Tor
him, He was ready to hgnt for his
Master life If He had come to rule
the world and would assert His klngly
province, but when his Master goes
voluntarily to trlai that meant nls
death, Peter argues what is the user
If he cannot or will not save Himself
what Is the use of my dying with
him?" And 80 ne decides. as he thinks
wisely, that it is best to save his own
life. Hence when the servant gil
speaKs 20 him he denies that he ever
knew his Lord ana by so doing he
stands pilioried before the world rs a
coward.
But that is all past in the text OF
today. He has received mis- silent
Iehuke and forthwith repented; his
faith has grown, and now he stands
before the same Tribunal that caused
Jesus death, ana declares rs his great
est glory that he is witness of Him
he has just denied. Peter, doubling.
coward Peter of yesterday, in the les
son today, is hero.
HIS words In the text contain the es-
sence of the christian life. We will
divide 1t into two questions: First,
Who are His Witnesses? second, OF
what are they witnesses
