INTERESTING ADDRESS BY REV J. a.
DAVIS AT GAYLORDsvILLE CHURCH.
Rev DR. Davis, pastor of the Sher-
in the Methodist church, Gaylords-
vile, on last Sunday evening. His
subject was GLOW much can you lift"
The text was taken from Acts 3: 7:
"And he took him by the right hand
and lifted him up" etc. The preach
er opened up the subject by examples
Of physical strength, citing Samson's
feats and the wonderful exhibition of
strength of men of to-day. Some men
can lift and carry loads heavier than
themselves. A man has lifted horse,
but the greatest physical feat is out
done by the lifting of fellow man.
A man can lift his brother in many
ways, by education, encouragement and
kindness, by purifying environment,
ETC., but the grandeSt lift to give
fellow man is the moral and spiritual,
|. e. to lift in the strength of Jesus
Christ as these men did. To bring
man to Christ is to lift man. Christ
within man means resident power
ton or social restraint. Education
makes many man worse in his life
and more wise in sinful ways. Christ
in the springs of mans being mean
manhood without experiment. Many
fear to try to lift others, some because
Of the lack Of High school or college
diplomas, etc. Peter and John had no
parchment, no culture, others in Je-
rusalem were trained Theologicians,
ETC., but these men could lift another
because they knew Christ. Who cares
anything about the other men called
scholars, etc who dispersed Peter and
to be poor means their service is of TO
account. The Doctor said, 81 fancy
see Peter feeling in his pockets for
money and finding none he turns to
John and says John, have nothing
to give, have you any money!" John
replied II have nothing" Then Pet
er gave the man the greatest gift of
his life. Not all the wealth of Jerusa-
lem could have bought what Peter in
his poverty gave again. These two
disciples were on the way to prayer
and yet had spiritual power enough
left over from the last prayermeeting
the prayermeetings are so seldom at
tended and spiritual life is so scant
that most of us would have to tell the
man we were exhausted and when we
had been to prayermeeting we might
be able to give him lift spiritually.
The fact is that the man who lifts his
fellow man lifts himself. The good
Samaritan did a good thing for the
poor wounded man but he did more
for himself. He found himself larg-
er man and had the consciousness that
he had done good act. The sermon
was quite lengthy but interesting in a
high degree and closed with telling H.
lustratiOn: A picture is found in
many homes of young lady on rock
in the midst of the sea holding on to a
cross. That is beautiful picture but
better one is the picture of lady in
like position amid boiling waves and
angry seas clinging with one hand to a
cross and reaching out with the other
hand to save another from death.
How much can you lift? What is your
moral and spiritual power? How
much can you lift and to what spirit
ual altitude? Will you try?
