FIRST PRESBYTERIAN.
Rev. William NJ. Paden preached TO
q large congregation at The First Pres
byterian church. taking for his sub
iect, "Newness of Life" In part the
speaker said
The whole world is today filed
with the newness of life. The spring
is here with its buds, flowers and
blossoms and everywhere evidences
are found Of the new strength and life
given 10y God to His things. Just as
this season comes each year to give
newness OF life, so we need a season
I
God cares for His fields, how greater
| must He care for us.
To-day is the spring OF souls; 1t
brings a renewal OF Gods spirit.
Without such renewal pure lives and
characters, the all important part,
must die by fire or ice unless we re-
coive tho newness OF life. God com
mands as that we serve Him in new
ness of spirit and in doing SO we, HIS
children, have these many Manifesto
tons that He Will raise you and l 20
Him as he did Christ. But the new
ness of life must be real, it must be
actual. must come from above by the
hand of Gods holy spirit. And as
the people of old grew more ana
more conscious of the newness of life
so ought we in these later days take
end receive il more and more as part
of our lives and follow its teachings

To-day all that has been changed.

SIC is full Of gladness. For today we
commemorate the great truth en-
which the foundations OF the Chci-

Mir Goshen IN an interesting manner. !
A future existence, he said cannot be |
proyed By scientific principles, but an |
unwavering assurance comes, never
theless. To the soul of the seeker after
truth that the mortal death does not |
end All. The belief of man In var
ious ages and countries as to the eX-
istence of deity was rocited by the
sneoler. II Is unreasonable 10 suppose

ents of his creation, II believe IN my
