UNION LENTEN SERVICES
AT CHRIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Fourth in Series, With Rev. II. n. D.
Sterrett of New Have mas Preacher

For the fourth of the united Lenten
services Of the Episcopal churches,
there was a good sized congregation
present Wednesday evening in Christ
church, with the rector, Rev. Nelson
Poe Carey, conducting the service, and
Rev. H. II. ID. Sterrett Of Trinity
church. New Haven. as the preacher.
Remembered favorably from former
visits to the church, Rev. Mr.. Sterrett
was warmly welcomed again, and his
helpful sermon listened to with appre-
citation.
AS a text the New Haven rector took
Daniel vi. 10: "And Daniels windows
were open in his chamber towards Je-
rusalem; and he kneeled upon his knees
three times a day and prayed and gave
thanks before his Cod" In the words
Of the preacher, 1t was shown that to
Daniel. an exile in a foreign land, and
to his fellows the temptation to do as
the Babylonians did was a very real
one. and yet IN this moment OF danger
the real man asserted himself. To
that little band there was no place Ike
home, and fondly their hearts turned
back towards Jerusalem, and Daniels
window was kept open towards i. Like
Daniel We too. are exiles and pilgrims
in a foreign land. The desire and peril
is upon ms to do as the wording does,
which is living our lives as If the whole
horizon and compass Of life were the
world and its goods.
But before US IS 2 vision OF the Holy
City. and it is in the power Of each to
keep ouen what particular win
dow he chooses. Our chioce is to
make or break life What shall be the
particular window we decide TO keep
open? Il is an all-important question,
fundamental in scope, and on the an
swer depends the quality of life to be
lived. Is it enough to open the window
towards the things of the world7 Does
it fulfill the soul longing, and is 1t any
wonder that the soul of man cries out
against only a wprld-life !? How differ
ent is the life Of one who has his win
dow open towards the New Jerusalem
who floods his life and soul with the
things of God, from the man whose
window is open only towards the
world God himself is at work in our
hearts and souls to turn our thoughts
to him. The good God bringing his chill
dren back to his everlasting arms and
his children giving response, that is re-
ligion.
Et Is God we need in our lives, each
one. for without him all is empty and
cold Like Daniel we need to retire to
the secret chamber Of the heart and
seek guidance and inspiration. II Is
Just this that win send us out to live
as Gods children, guided and inspired,
those who lose not the things eternal
