Rev. ]. S. Purcell, the Methodist pastor
here, preached an excellent sermon Sunday
night, which was highly and favorably
commenced on by several the next day.
Your correspondent solicited brief sketch
of the sermon for the benefit of the"News"
readers, and here are fine thoughts:
"a plea for Christian Development.
Text, Peter 1877. First, 1t is not enough
to be only born again, but grow after
we are spiritually born. Without growth
we become dwarfs. 1t takes faith to be
saved. But the Apostle says, add TO
faith (which saves) virtue (Which means
valor or courage-that is, courage to do
what we believe.
1t is faith plus courageous action that
counts. Faith is the engine-virtue the
power to move. Add to these knowl-
edge, which is, moral discernment, cul-
tured skill in the actual ordering and
ruling of our lives. Know ourselves,
know our capabilities, know our destiny
and know our God, which things the
church of God is lacking today. Then
add to these temperance. That is, the
power to use ourselves without abusing
ourselves. Young man, keep all your
manIiness, you will soon need il. The
saddest condition is to need manhood, and
not have it; to want God, but have no
place to put Coda ruin of life! To
these add patience-Christian PATIENCE
that much needed grace which enables one
to wait while under strain and trial.
To these add godliness, which is per-
sistent endeavour to fashion our lives af-
ter the Christ-pattern. To these add
brotherly kindness much needed grace
in this selfish, greedy age. This is the
power which enables one to arrange all
our human relations Alright, and keep them
Alright. Then to these we are to add
the capstone of Christianity which beauti-
flies our life and make many joyful hearts
charity or love- Do you know the world
is dying for a little bit of lover When
we add all these graces-virtue, knowl-
edge, temperance, patience, goodness,
brotherly kindness and love-to our faith,
all the devils in hell cannot keep us from
being fruit-bearing Christians.
Let us become larger Christians so we
can bear more fruit Let our hearts grow
so we can contain more love. Small YES
sells hold little. Large ones much. Let
US keep busy adding something good to
our lives Then, when we are grown, we
are ready to live eternally."
