FINAL MlDwEEk SERVICE.
Rev. r. s. Moore of Black Hall
Preached at Trinity Episcopal Church.


For the final one of the united serv-
ices held In the middle of the week
through Lent by the Episcopal church.
es, there was a large attendance on
Wednesday evening at Trinity church.
Archdeacon Brown read the service for
evening prayer. The preacher Rev.
+. S. Moore OF Blaokhell, presented
to his congregation a discourse of
marked appropriateness to the season
In the church calendar. He spoke
from the text Hebrews xii:a, Looking
unto Jesus. the author and perfecter
of our faith, who for the joy that was
set before him endured the cross, de-
spLsing shame. and has sat down at
the right hand of the throne OF God"
Rev. Mr.. Moore introduced 1t as his
thought Of the early life of Christ that
1t was not that bright happy boyhood
such as would have been the life Of
any other boy, for would not his moth
er have told him of the marvel Of his
birth, or was it not true that he was
the possessor Of some light from with
in, some fash from heaven, which re-
yealed his divine nature. Nothing but
this could account for such precooious-
ness as he displayed in his answer to
the doctors at the age Of twelve. With
this inner light his life goes on until at
length what he has long known him
self becomes patent to others. Always
he walked with the shadow of the
cross upon him, until the shadow was
turned to the real on Calvary.
Yet he endured for the joy that was
before him. His perfect obedience was
the outcome OF q suffering so exquisite
that no other may enter into it. But
from the Fathers love he was never
cut away, between him and the Father
was perfect oneness, not only no ces-
sation, but no interruption Of that per-
feet communion. This Is The truth to
be grasped His life was in a shadow,
but one in which not all Of shame, Of
degradation, Of suffering could hide the
Fathers face. In all his life the in
ferior wish never rose above the supe-
rior will, and when the struggle was
over there arose the glorious cry heard
by the angels, when men said he spoke
the words, mot my will but thine be
done"
Applying the lessons from this phase
of the life Of Christ. the preacher said
that his life was a type of many lives
perhaps all. He has made il possible
for men to endure the cross and thar
the unshadowed sun may be a part OF
each life. The world rs full of silent
suffering and silent sacrifice, and the
more transformations 1t is, the closer il
comes to the life Jesus Christ No life
is without its shadow but there In Joy
set before us IN the bosom of God. SO
we, too, endure the cross.
