Sunday Sermon.

The point of sight IN a picture is
that point in the horizon toward
which the most important lines con
verge. Every artist knows that it
is essential that the eye be directed
to the point of sight in order that
due proportion be maintained. 1t
is possible to see very much of the
beauty of a picture even though
you do not know what point of
sight means but it is a more salts
factory enjoyment of the conception
OF the artist if you understand 1t.
1t is just like that with the Old
Testament scriptures. There are
those who see i'll it nothing but
history or prophecy or poetry and
so they miss the great central fact.
History and prophecy and poetry
are all there but the point of sight
in all the Old Testament is the man
Christ Jesus. All the great lines
converge on Christ. He is the point
of sight of the bible as whole
Of the Old Testament and of the
New-and of each of the series of
pictures which make up the one
and the other.

Malachi the last of the Old Tesla
ment prophets puts the trumpet to
his lips and blows an arousing blast
on this great subject. He declared
that the king was at the door. His
foot was even then on the TIRES
hold and he called on the whole
nation to prepare the way of the
Lord. He said in effect. 1.-The
long waiting is nearly over. The
Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly
come to his temple. But there are
some things which should be done
by way of final preparation.
Settle up your quarrels, keep the
Sabbath, pay your church tithes,
deal justly with the widow and
orphan, speak often one to another
about this great event the messiah
is at hand" And SO it proved.
One night while shepherds watched
their fiocks on the Judean hills
chorus choir from heaven came out
on the balcony of the skies and
sang an oratario composed by some
archangel of music-the echoes of
which have not yet died out Of
earthly atmosphere. And the burden
Of their song was the incarnation at
Bethlehem-the son of David and
the son OF God. All history since
then has demonstrated that though
the time of preparation was long
he came at the most appropriate
time and in the most appropriate
place and for the most appropriate
purpose.

It is a long stretch from Adam to
Moses and from Moses to David and
from David to Christ. Four thous-
and years were tucked off by the
clock of time before the son of God
sprang upon the platform. But he
came. And he came in the full
ness of time. And he came when
the world-Jew and Gentle and
Barbarian and Sythian bond and
free-was ready for him. He could
not come before. He did not come
an instant later. Gods events
always arrive on schedule time.
We are to look for and hasten his
appearing. We are to preach him
in all the world for a witness to all
people and then shall the end come.
Watch We therefore and pray always
that ye may be accounted worthy
to escape all these things that shall
come to pass and to stand before the
Of God.

~
All the great lines forming the fore
ground Of Nehemiah and Malachi
converge to single point and that
point is the coming of the messiah -
the son Of David We see this dim
outline in the garden of Eden-the
promise made to the first human
pair. He is prefgured in prophet
and priest and king A supernatural
voice breaks the silence through the
ages every now and then. A strange
mysterious form appears and dis
appears among the chosen people.
Sometimes he has the appearance
Of priest as Abraham saw HIM and
sometimes as a soldier as-with
drawn swOrd-he salutes Joshua
and sometimes as a supernatural
being he walks with the Hebrew
worthless in the fiery furnace.
Noah and Abraham and Moses and
Joshua and Jonah are all types of
him but all fall far short of the
reality. The ark is an emblem of
him. The tabernacle is an object
lesson of him. The lamb Of sacrifice
points forward to him. Every
Jewish mother for 1000 years prayed
that she might give him birth and
every inspired teacher of religion
made the coming messiah the
theme of his devout petitions and
his loftiest eloquence. For this
David keyed up his harp, and
through all the years Of the nations
sufferings in exile this was the
sustaining theme-the coming mes

For many years 1t has been the

to quote private conversation with
the President. 1t has been found that
as a matter of fact, the man who
quotes such conversation usually
misquotes It, whether consciously or
unconsciously and such an alleged
conversation is under no circum-

The President is responsible only for
