Subject Of Sermon by DR.. Wilson In
Assembly's Church.

1Sc1AbAy NAuAC0.
AT the Assembly Presbyterian Church
yesterday morning the theme Of DR.. VII
sons sermon was THE Needs of Human
ity In an Unselish Service Of Sacrifice for
Others"
The discourse was based on the story
related in Matthew XXX, of fond mother.
the wife Of Zebedee, bringing her two sons
to the Master to secure Official position of
special honor in the kingdom. which the
prophetic mind at that time believed would
be established on the earth.
The speaker stated that especially dur
ing the latter portion Of Christ's ministry
on earth his paramount idea was that Of
service. emptying himself for the good OF
others. And even with this sublime ex-
ample constantly before them. the minister
said. 1.-The very men the Savior had trained
for the work showed q reactionary spirit
and, losing sight of His declaration, Ny
kingdom is not OF this world were think
ing OF pomp and power and preferment in
a royal court and picturing themselves as
obtaining honor rather than giving sacri-
flee Of service.
If such condition of mind obtained among
these chosen few breathing SO holy an at
mosphere, the speaker said small wonder
is 1t that in the world in general the spirit
of self love should be accentuated.
The spirit Of service in the gospel gives
to men doing the worlds work something
of that same seeking after reaching forth
not to receive but to give. not to take in
but to put forth, all in the shape of help
fulness we have to bestow," Mr.. Wilson de-
clared.
In closing he said: The beautiful exem-
plar and embodiment of this spirit of help
fulness, without which this world were a
poor abiding place, Is to be found only in
Him who came not to be ministered unto,
but to minister and give His life ransom
for many

was told that man who had stopped there
year ago had suffered the loss OF his

After dwelling upon the history and
salient features of Masonry Mr.. Spielman
said, in part:
However strange It may sound to some.
yet every true Mason is man of prayer.
One of the most forceful lessons taught
In the lodge is that we should never en-
gage in any great undertaking without
first invoking the blessing of the Deity.
The commencement and ending of all Ma
sonic labor is attended with prayer
We are often admonished that we DO
not evidence the high designs Of Masonry
by the conduct OF the individual member.
1t IS not Freemasonry that makes men
worse; 1t Is the base and immoral tend
encies of the man. II Masonry does not
make him better 1t Is because he does not
give heed to its noble precepts. 1t is not
the worthlesshess of the order; 1t Is the
Worthlessness of the man."
