Scene-The road to Jericho.
Time-During Christ's ministry.

Characters = zaccheus, a publican
tax collector, a short fat man up a
sycamore tree. Jesus coming down
the road with multitude of the popu-
lace following him. Bartimaeus, a
blind man, sitting by the road begging.
Text-Luke 1910, For the son of
man has come to seek and save that
which was lost"
From this scene Rev. Mr.. Sunday
preached one of the strongest and
most appealing sermons of his cam
paign. That it reached into the hearts
of his congregation and gripped them
in the clutch Of conviction was evi-
denced by the fact that when he gave
the invitation to come to Christ sixty
one responded without further urging,
and without particularly any personal
work being done.
Zaccheus' Conversion His Text.
The conversion of Zaccheus was the
Evangelist's theme, and from it he
drew varying LESSONS for sinners He
depicted hoy Zaccheus, being short of
stature, yet anxious to see Jesus,
climbed a tree, and how, when Jesus
saw him, and bade him come down,
Zaccheus made haste to do so. His
delineation Of Zaccheus was picture
Of many sinners of today, with this
difference that the modern Zaccheus
does not show the zeal to see Jesus
that the publicam of Jericho did.
While he pointed out the stumbling
blocks and wickedness which stand in
the path Of those who are now refus-
ing God he at the same time pleaded
with marked earnestness and fervor
for all to come down and meet Jesus
and take him into their homes and ac-
cept him as their saviour, as Zacca-
Gus did.
Famous Men Of Jericho.
Mr.. Sundays sermon was in part as
follows:
There were two famous men of Jer-
icho. One was Bartimaus the blind
man, the other was Zaccaheus, the
publican tax collector. AS Jesus ap-
preached Jericho the friends of Barti-
maeus saw the multitude coming with
Jesus and told the blind man. AS Jesus
passed by Bartimeus cried, "Thous son
OF David have mercy on me-" Jesus
replied, what wilt thou that I shall
do unto thee?" and Bartimaeus ans
wered, "That- may receive my sight.
Jesus said, Receive thy sight, thy
faith hath saved thee" and Immediate
ly the blind man regained his sight and
followed after Jesus, praising him.
Zaecheus Was Despised.
'zaccheus was chief of the gang of
publicans who collected by contract
the taxes from the Jews for the Ro-
man empire. Zaccheus had stolen
from the Jews to such an extent that
he and his kind were the most hated
men Of Jericho. Zaccheus heard Jesus
wasscoming. SO leaving the road over
which he would enter the city he took
q circuitous route and, because he was
small, and knowing that he could not
see Jesus In the great multitude that
was following him. he climbed a syca-
more tree
