said:

hundredth was lost and perhaps dying

Sermons By Local Ministers.

In the First Methodist church last
evening. Rev f. d. Short preached on
Better than Silver and Gold" in which
he said:
Most people are poor, and this is
especially true of those who have left
all to go and follow Christ. MateriaI
wealth is not in the hands of the most
earnest Christians; neither is it a ne
cessity for Christian happiness. Our
Lord was as poor as the poorest of
men; indeed even poorer, for He had
not where to lay His head. Peter, the
servant, was not above his Master for
he was also peuniless; but he had that
which is better than gold. He had
the acknowledgement of the name of
Jesus. And so using that which he
had, he siad, Silver and gold have |
none. but such as l have l give to
Thee
suffering humanity does not recog-
nize its real needs. The great cry is
for gold, or it's equivalent. The false
idea is abroad that gold is the means
by which every need of the human Fam
ily can be satisfied. Well. il is a ne
cessity to provide for physical COM
forts; but gold Is not the first requisite,
neither is 1t sufficient to satisfy our
real needs. The first necessity Is lhal
the kingdom of heaven shall be within
us This would eliminate sin, the elm
nation of which would be both right
eous and economical. Abnormal appe-
tites and habits would then cease, ana
the sin of extravaganza would entirely
disappear. This would mould the spirit
of mankind into a real brotherhood
and the division of gold would be on
Christian basis
And to you. my Christian brethren
permit me to say: Go forth in the
name of Christ and give to needy hu-
mainly the very best that you have.
Give your gold and your silver but do
not forget that you must likewise give
