Robust Righteousness
Text, Eph. WHO.

Text. Eph. WHO.
[Synopsis of sermon delivered By
Rev. G. M. Aker nc Promenade
Street Methodist Church, Sunday,
January 6
The cry OF our times Is robust
type of righteousness. THIS world
is full of moral towards and relig'
ious weaklings Our virtues are
often limp aud bloodless. sick and
bedridden. Our churches too often
present the aspect of a hospital, in
stead of a life. saving station. Our
faith suffers severely from cataract,
our hope is paralyzed, our charity
infrm, our sobriety rickety, our
patienGd an expiring invalid aud
our tempers so nervous and uu.
certain, that il Que thug goes
wrong we are instantly thrown in
to spasms.
All this is quite different from
the text which says, BE Strong"
And Paul practiced what he
preached. He was anything but O
weakling. When church was to
be founded at Ephesus or Philippi
or at COllosse, or when a mission
AIRY was needed for Macedonia, or
sermon to be preached at Ath
ems, or an apostle, like Peter, tU
be rebuked for his double dealing,
he never said. Il can't; please get
some one else. am too weak. "
He SAID, II can do all thinga
thru Christ.
In fact. this eternal excuse. max
ing that some Of us are guilty Of.
is a sure sign of weakness. Strong
men aud women do not whine.
They do not sit down in a cor.
ner and cry because their condi-
tons are not what they desire.
They set set themselves resolutely
to make their conditions better.
Paul never excused himself from
doing his duty because his efforts
were not properly recognized and
appreciated. Those whom he was
trying to help aud save, were
constantly turning him the cold
shoulder and giving him stripes
and stones for his services. But
none of these things moved him a
hairs breadth from the path Of
duty.
Then. too, Paul was no weak
ling, for he was a man OF positive
convictions. This one thing l
do" says he. and all the enemies
of earth and hell could not get him
to do otherwise. You always know
where to find him. How different
was he from many CT us. Many
Of us are like the lady who testified
in court that she lived on both
sides OF the street; aud when ask
ed to explain said, Il live on the
right hand side going up and on
the left hand side going down p"
You always know on which side
of the street to find strong men
There is nothing more despicuble
than a man who tries to be on both
sides at the same time. There is
nothing more to be loved and ad-
mired than a man who can say in
plain English. yes or no.
While this apostle to The Gem
tiles was very positive in his con-
Victions, he was not an egotist.
he is far from exhorting us to be
strong in our own strength; but
"Be strong in the Lord aud the
power of his might" is the lam
guage OF our text, God is the
abiding strength aud greatness.
The secret of Paul's strength was
found In the fact that be had
linked his life to God. he al
lowed his nothing perfect to be
filed with Gods all-complete."
II seems to me that what the
world 10 general. and Mexico In
particular. needs just now. is men
OF strong characters and positive
