Morning Service.
The morning sermon in the main aud.
itorium WAS heard by II congregnt lion that
crowded the church to Its very doors. Mr..
Hultcn's subject was Christ, the High
Priest of Sympathy"
There are several kinds OF emotions
he said. that characterize the human
soul, but the noblest feelings are those
which we Gull altruistic. Christ was
the n,astcr-man, because He was the high
priest OF Infinite sympathy. He banlshedl
the distance OF divinity, and made love
the infinite attribute OF God His mir
nclcs are but manifestations Of His sym
patty, for ara we not told that 'Hc was
moved with compassion?' Ills first mir
acle, in Cana OF ualilce, was a wonder
full expression of sympathy for the every
day cares and needs of the human being.
Gods sympathy Is downward; mans
is upward God has tender; compassion
on the creatures OF His creation: man Is
| prone to give his sympathy only to his
l equals and superiors. We should go fur
/ ther,t however, and prefer one another
/ In all the common relations OF life hu-
man Sympathy IS conspicuous by its
Ic1N
shrcwd selfish motto Of David Harum,
when he said: 'DoFit first.
The only solution Of tho problem OF
capital and labor Is more OF Christ's
sympathy and tenderness IN the COM
merclal life. 81

alike forget the essential spirit Of the
Master The law Of Christian sympathy
Is absolute. Tho one thing no man ever
withstood is tho warm pulsation Of a
sympathetic heart and / wos ecd 1t In
every condition of life.
Christ plucked the thorn from hui

\ Ilillewise."
About twelve persons asked for church-
membership at the close OF tho service.
Evening Service.

.shall the Body Rise from the Dead?
81 l6"Thiss is a vital question: he said, "anG
B the hinge on which tho Christians whole
faith turns. Those who are Indifferent
to this and entertain the idea that It !!

or positive ,lnbelief.

: New Testament Is the doctrine Of res

OF the early church made It the keynote
l OF their teaching. 1t Is the impregnabls
Y rock on which the whole structure
Christianity Is reared"
: Mr. Hutton quoted Abraham and thu
r prophets to show that even hundreds O
. years before Christ the patriarchs had {
distinct idea with regard to this.
: Several scientific objections to the doc

l forward arguments, and then the speake
d drew a touching picture Of the JOY at tn
! day Of resurrection, when loved one
! shall be united in eternal JOY,
