Address on Virgin Birth. :

THE Virgin Birth" was the subject OF a
lecture delivered last night at the New
Church by Rev. J. X. Smyth. This was the
first OF the series which are to be delivered
Sunday evenings at the church.
DIR. Smyth touched on the recent criticisms
by DR.. CTapsey and German text critics OF
the parts of the Bible telling of the birth of
Jesus Christ. Scientists he said, attempt
to prove that the divine birth of the Savior
was impossible. Mr.. Smyth said IT was not
for men TO attempt to measure intellect
with the Deity. and consequently ii is an
absurdity for finite beings to try to reason
out by their methods something relating
to the infinite.
1t was announced that next Sunday even
Ing Rev Frank Sewell will speak on His
Miracles"

THOUGHTS FOR NEW YEAR.
Sermon by DR.. John Lee Allison at
Gunton-Temple Church.

Rev. Dr. John Lee Allison, pastor of Cum
ton-Temple Memorial Presbyterian Church,
took as his theme yesterday morning.
Mans Supreme Duty is Doing Gods
Will" He said, in part: "As we stand at
the threshold Of a new year we meet the
words of Jesus, who said, My meat is to
do the will of Him that sent me- The domi-
nant force and master passion in all the life
should be to do Odds will.
Few realize their Dreams DR.. Allison
declared, for God sets aside our plans and
substitutes His own. The goal for all striv-
ing from the worlds standpoint Is to make
did vision, the amassing of fortune, win
ming of power, the achieving of prowess.
But there is another standard and in the
realm of the spiritual. The life may fail as
far as earthly results are concerned; in the
Sphere invisible, however, 1t may be
splendid achievement. He may be build
ing up noble character in which the beat
itudes shine Respondent like gem. The
Gods will be realized in it. The life is
lived worthily only when We do what God
wants us to do.
I'VE know His will as to the principles
and laws as revealed in the word of revela-
ton The sphere in which to work them
out Is the daily life as God sends 1t to U.S.
The divine will is to live the one In the
midst OF the other. The injunction is to
even eat and drink to the glory OF God,
thus realizing the divine purpose in the
life. This purpose of God is most holy.
most wise, perfect and gracious, shining
with the glory of heaven and quick with
divine tenderness. 1t is not easy for the
life and unrenewed will Of man to be
brought into full accord with Gods will,
but this is the noblest and grandest career
possible. s.
"A man once entered a church and heard
the people singing. No two voices were in
accord, but one voice was heard clear,
strong, distinct, amid confused discords
BY and by the discordant voices were DOM
mated by the one clear voice and lifted by
1t to it's sweet TONS So the will of God,
true and clear. brings into harmony our
unmusical feelings, desires and impulses
When this is done the divine will will be
done on earth as it is in heaven"
