to a good sized congregation. He said
that the text did not refer to man, as
even the greatest Of men were bound to
fail at times, citing as examples, Wash
ingeon, who lost more battles than he
won, and Napoleon who, although he
won more battles than he lost, at last
lost at Waterloo and died an exile.
He said that the text referred
not to man, but to Christ the son Of
God, who never failed. lie said that alt
who appeared successful were not 50 in
all things and on the other hand that
when Christ was cracifed he was raised
to The thsone Of glory and has remained
there ever since, although there were
times in Christ's life on earth when he
seemed TO have failed
But Christ did not fail in His great
purpose when be gave bis life for the
sake Of the world, that Christ came To
bring heaven and earth and to save all
people, and not to compromise with the
devil and save only part Of them. He
came not to save the earth in its sin
but from al sin. and that the only real
success in life was to do Gods will.
lie spoke again Of the apparent sue
cess Of some people using Admiral Dewey
as an example Of the rapid decline from
fame az an example of the little real
value of earthly success. lie spoke Of
Christ's apparent failure and real secret
success as lie was all the time on earth
doing his fathers work and said that we
fail because We do not know while Christ
knows all.
De Thayer spoke OF the many fail
ures because Of people not being in the
right positions, misiits he called them,
saying that some preachers would make
better blacksmiths or carpenters while
many Of the latter might make able
preachers. lie said that we should be
all patience, that no matter how hard
He worked Christ was never discouraged,
and that people should follow His ex-
ample and not mind tthe fauf finders
as there were ~ceoakers' at al times.
In closing he said that the best eouu-
tries were the Christian countries and
cited the United States, Germany and
England as the highest examples, all
Protestant Christian countries. And also
mentioned the large number that were
being saved in some places, notably the
Five Points mission In New York city,
where thousands have been started on
the right path and making successes of
their lives which had previously been all
a failure.
