REPENT KEY TO JOHNS MINISTRY
one word characterize whole
Career.


One Word characterize Whoie
Career.
In his discourse at the Second Presby-
terrain church yesterday morning Rev A.
A. Mainwaring; pastor of the First Baptist
church OF Logansport, Ind, characterized
the MINISTRY OF John the Baptist as
summed up in the word repent" The
Indiana preacher gave an interesting talk
on the life, work and character Of John.
John led the morning of the early Chris
tian era. Today the full sunshine Of Gods
love is beaming on us. and we need more
than ever before to repent The conscience
OF the people OF the United States is being
aroused as never before and We are becom-
ing moro sensitive to what is right and
wrong"
To keep pace with the wonderful growth
and prosperity of this country DR.. Main
waring urged that the Christian church
reproduce itself more by sending out minis
tiers, as but few young men today are con-
secrating themselves to the work.
John was a voice. His was a voice
crying to all to prepare the way of the
Lord, and he brought down with fell
strokes the mighty Jewish superstitions.
We. to be workers for God, must reduce
ourselves 10 voices. Johns ministry did
not merely consist OF sound, as he power
fully aroused the sleeping consciences of
his hearers and disturbed, their latent
forces. John was not the product of his
own age. but rather the incarnation of the
deep thoughts of many ages and of God"
Or. Mainwaring declared the outlook for
a general repentance throughout the ooun-
try was never brighter, the scftenng OF the
denominational lines being a happy move
in that direction.
Rev Newman Hall Burdlck, d. D., pastor
OF the Second Presbyterian church, occupied
the pulpit with the visiting minister. Prof.
Harry l.. Maxwell. prominent singing
evangelist had charge of the choir and
sang Open My Eyes That I May see."
Prof MAxwell's sweet tenor voice added
much TO the inspiration OF the service.

The Sabbath Of c religious convention is
not a day of rest to the conventioners, save
as any day Is one OF rest TO a jealous Chris
tian when he can spend It busily doing the
work OF his Master. Such day was yes
terday for the Baptist delegates and their
friends in Omaha Of all other churches.

SECRETARY WEBB ON POWER
Manifesto ton of Spiritual Power IL
Not Full Enough.

MRnifeststio of Spiritual Power IL
Not Full Enough.
Rev George T. Webb Of Illinois, inter
national secretary OF the Baptist Young
Peoples union OF America. preached at st.
Mary's Avenue Congregational church Sun
day morning on Power"
There never was a time in the history
OF the Christian church when we talked so
much about power as we do now" said he.
But there is not the full manifestation
OF spiritual power there should be consid-
ering the number of words spoken about II.
There has never been so large a literature
on the subject as during the last fifteen
years, nor have we been so rich in songs
of praise and hymns Of power as in recent
years
ITO large extent there is a misconcep-
ton OF the whole subject. Spiritual power
is too much thought Of as something re-
lated 10 spiritual ecstasy. We have set It
apart in the coister while we have been
out in the busy world II power is in the
cloister and the Christian is in the world
then the Christian is without the power
he ought to have to adequately represent
Jesus Christ The world today, out of all
it's confusion, distress, agony and unsatis-
fed longing. cries out in cry that It does
not understand itself, we would see
Jesus
Jesus would manifest Himself to the
needy world through His body which is
His church. whether 1t be in Corinth. at
Ephesus, in Galacia or in Omaha. There is
only one way in which He makes Himself
manifest, and that is through His church
Power is the real manifestation OF Jesus
Christ in the lives OF men and women. The
gift whereby the spirit is received Is the
gift of ALL God has endowed every one
Of us for some particular service in His
church, but this gift of the spirit is pos
sible TO all.
Power lies in the exercise of gifts and
the full development OF the talents with
which we have been endowed. The church.
to become the church OF greatest power
should have every member discover what
his or her gift is and use it according to
Gods plan There is not an indispensable
member in the church OF Jesus Christ any
where. Your position may be obscure and
your gift small, but there IS no one whom
the church does not need Find out your
place and serve"

of Personal Responsibility.
'In this day Of peculiar economic, in
dustrial and social conditions we have no
longer any great sense Of personal RESPONSE
bility." said Rev. Bruce Kinney of Utah.
preaching Sunday morning at the First
Christian church. "All things are special
ICED now, and a man is only a small part of
a great whole, losing to a great extent
his sense of personal identity. Not many
years ago a shoe factory consisted OF a
shoemaker, a little shop and tools. Today
the factory is a great institution. Then
the man himself was the factory; today
he Is only a wheel. or perhaps even a tiny
cog, In the great system OF machinery.
THE same conditions run through all OF
our industrial and economic life. We see
corporations doing things the individual
would not dare do and take the RESPONSE
bility in the sight of God and man. He
may have voted for it in directors meeting,
but IL was the corporation did It. Labor
unions do things which the Individual
laborer would not think of doing, for fear
OF the responsibility it entails. The citizen
votes for a measure, but to escape the re-
sponsibilty for the results of the vote he
hides behind the cloak of his party.
TOO many men lead lives of convenience,
