city is to be taken this week, in ordss
TO determine the religious preference
or affiliation Of every person In Homo
lulu.
The audience that faced DR.. Ostrom
last night In the main auditorium was
the largest Of the series to date. Evep
the gallery was filled to overlooking.
On the platform besides the minis
tiers that have attended the services
were q number Of Congregational d.
vines from other islands, here to at.
tend the convention.
DR.. Ostrom read a few verses from
Luke i6 and Fred Butler sang.
DR.. Ostrom took his text from Sec
ond Corinthians. 7:10: Sorrow of the
world worketh death, but godly sorrow
worketh repentance unto salvation"
He said in part: christianity takes
in all the phases Of life; no wonder
the text mentions sorrow for that Is
one of the greatest things in a mans
life. There Is wrong kind of sot
row and a right kind. The man who
says he doesn't give way TO his emo
tions Is cold man, a frozen man
Men who are well informed tell me
that when an insane person weeps he
Is considered on the road to recovery
II that is so, the tendency of modern
times toward stolidity, toward stoicism
may be tendency toward insanity
The man who says he never cries may
be becoming insane. No man can be q
good father who cannot weep for good
reason. Jesus, the man who could
startle the Jews with thunderbolt oil
truth, could weep.
The great struggle Of the world has
always been between character and
things. You will always find Jesus
taking the part Of character. The greal
mistake made nowadays is that things
are kept and character let go-houses
pictures, bric.a.brac. these are the
things for which character is thrown
away.
Some people lay their feelings or
the ground around them, Just waiting
for somebody to step on them. Scr
row of the world wants to be pitied
It's prime associate Of jealousy
Jealousy will tell lies in spite of itself
When man is angry he has sorrow
of the world, he will be eating up his
own spirit.
"In contrast to this we have godl!
sorrow. 1t is like the dawning of phi
lanthropic. Some people think In or
der to become a Christian they mus
80 down In the dust It's mistake
my friends. The first step in Chris
tian, life is an upward step. The very
first step is n rare honor. taken with
rare humility"
