At IL O'Clock the pastor preached on
The Christian" using as text /.
Peter 4:16: yet If any man suffer as a
Christian let him not be ashamed He
spoke of the disciples being first called
Christians at Antioch. which he said
was simply the statement of fact
and not matter OF derision. The sub
ject was discussed under two head
ing divisions: First. Christian out
wardly. He believes certain great
truths. He accepts them aud in his
heart believes in the revelation of
Jesus Christ both as prophesied in
the Old Testament and revealed in the
New Testament. He also believes in
conviction, repentance, conversion and
regeneration. Believing these great
truths, he will not be satisfied to re-
main idle; he does something. He
uses his means in the propagation Of
the principles he believes. He presses
on to the end, remembering that Gods
word says BE thou faithful unto
death and will give thee crown Of
life." In the great race he wins the
crown, and winning 1t, he proves him
self faithful and thereby wins others
to his Savior and Lord. In the second
place, a Christian inwardly is one
whose heart is fixed on God To be
Christian inwardly is more important
than to be one outwardly. The Scrip
lures say "the letter killeth, but the
spirit maketh alive Not only is the
heart fixed on God, but his life is
spent for his Masters cause. He sim
ply, yet grandly, fills life's mission
and bears heroically every affliction.
Here the pastor illustrated with an
incident which occurred in Georgia,
where a skeptic who remained I'M
moved by the arguments of the pull
pit was won to Christ by the faithful
ness of a great sufferer. The last
thought was that such a person leaves
blessed memory. A touching Incl
dent was related of young Burton, a
railroad postal clerk, who lost his life
in wreck between Richmond and
Washington. When they came TO the
part of the ear where he worked there
was the open Bible where he had
been reading between stations the
promises of God This, with his noble !
life and heroic death, is still cher
ished by his young wife and kindred.

church was conducted by the Ladies
