the Methodist church We're along the
nnes of an educational nature, and
they We're in charge of DR.. Thomas
Nicholson, president of the Univer-
sity. Dir. Nicholson made some re-
marks along the line of the needs of
education in the world today and
also referred to the needs of the To-
cal institution. His remarks were
emphasized by DR.. Samuel Weir and
DR.. c. V. Gilliland, all of whom were
especially strong in the presentation
OF their topics upon which they
spoke.
When the addresses We're through
DR.. Nicholson made his appeal for
assistance in the way of contribu-
tions and the money or promises to
pay came forth in a very cheerful and
liberal N The doctor was sue
cessful in raising $3.50 for the Uni
versity and the amount will find a
way in which will be beneficial to the
institution.
In the evening DR.. Thos. Young
man delivered an address that was
directed particularly to the young
people of the city. His ext was
taken from Romans 1911. He said
in substance: The Bible waves a
red flag before warning them of the
open switch to evil, which they enter
when they move on to destruction.
Each inspired writer is an index fin
ger pointing men to holiness as the
condition of present and permanent
We'll being. Their methods are diff
ferent, but their message is essen
TALLY the same. Sin is destructive
and holiness is a prerequisite of God.
Some of them demand with authority
others tenderly entreat. st. Paul
was more manifold in his ability to
use different styles than any of the
others. He could dogmatize and
threat, he could argue and prove,
and he did entreat with tenderness
and tears as With continued heavi-
ness n sorrow of heart because
men walked not in the ways of God.
II beseech you," he said. They yer
not rebels to be accused, proven
guilty and cast into prison, but in
the atmosphere of the mercy of God
they We're erring brethren to be in
structed, entreated and Won to the
ways of righteousness. He shows His
J Jews education in his use of this
word, sacrifice. He thought of and
5 talked the gospel in terms of the
: ceremonial law. If | We're preaching
: | also would make much of this word
/ sacrifice of your bodies. But we are
i Gentiles, and have no particular
} sympathy with the ceremonies of the
r Jews, and if should emphasize the
: sacrifice of your bodies, l might pref
, udice you against the things which ]
would persuade you. The sacrifice
, "a brought to the altar and slain
: and frequently burned before the
5 Lord. Such a fact cannot be made
+ to illustrate anything to which per
S tains to our service of God as is APP
pretended by modern thought. We
4 know that there is no such a thing as
: the sacrifice of the body required OF

: tinues in the service of God.
According to the terms of this text
you will notice that the body is MOI
e the man, it is a something that a man
has. That the body is the man is
: one of the beguiling, %betraying ant
j very hurtful errors of our time. The
d eye, which is a part of the body, does
not see, the hand does not touch, the
ear does not hear, but the soul, which
is in the body, and which possesse.
the body, is the essential man. Thu
body connects us with this materia
:. state, and the soul makes us akin
to God. The apostle would have u
make the soul a fiux between thu
body and God, that the whole MAJ
may be lifted up into the kingdom
e of God. | beseech you, therefore
y give your body, sou and spirit t,
i God. Then shall they be sanctified
g and the body shall be a temple o
l. the Holy Ghost, and be forever glo
= rified. But in the presence of thi
l. result is there anything which Chris
S tianity requires of a man in servin.
Is God which can appropriately be Gale
n a sacrifice of the body. Certainl
e not, unless it can be truthfully sal
le that when YOU deliver a diamond int
" the hands of the artiticer, to be Gu
1t and polished, so that it scintillates al
d the colors of the rainbow, and is fit t
le adorn the brow of a king, can b
r called a sacrifice to the body of tn
diamond.
