Symposium in Reply Declaration Thomas

the influencing of mankind, has passed."
By Rev. Henry A. Stimson.
Congregational.

THE Christian theory of the SER
L mon is that it is message
from God OH the life of q man who
is set apart TO live near to God, and
80 to know the will and mind of God.
II it ceases to be that, whatever else
it may be, it ceases to be a sermon.
Belief in God involves belief in re-
ligion, and that involves worship,
and that in turn the belief in the
presence of God i'll His sanctuary,
and His voice in the word of the
preacher. Of course, there arc al
ways preachers and hearers who for
get this, but if it were generally for
gotten or disbclieved, the religion of
Jesus Christ would quickly cease to
be living force. see no reason to
believe that that is true, therefore l
cannot think that the sermon has
lost its place or its power.
eliminating the sermon" would
be eliminating the life from public
worship. 1t would quickly die alto

A 5 AN evidence that the sermon
4 \ still is powerful factor, one
has only to regard the church at,
tendance on special occasions when
famous speakers are announced
Also at mission services the sermon
is looked forward TO as most i'm.
portant and interesting part of the
exercises. The preachers at these
mission services are selected for their
fitness, and their sermons, of an
hours length, are carefully prepared
They touch the eternal truths of rev,
clation; sin, its enormity, its punish.
ment, its atonement; the love and
fear Of God; the beauty of the vir.
tues; the responsiveness Of the vices
Sermons of this sort bring the
crowds to the church and stir up the
people to new life. The church is
in no danger of eliminating the ser.
mon, but the clergy are coming to an
appreciation of the fact that tho
short sermon is more potent than the
long discourse.
