MISSION CLOSES
AT ST. CLEMENTS
DR. Semmes Says the Church
Needs Consecrated Men
and Women.

The Rev. Thomas Semmes, OF Rich
naond, Va, who preached a series OF
mission sermons at st. Clements church,
closed the mission Sunday evening with
a powerful sermon upon the topic:
Fishers of Men," taken from St. Marks
account Of the miraculous draft OF
fishes. His sermon Sunday morning was
upon the subject Of procrastination. In
the evening he said IN part:
Before we can go out and be OF use

must get right with God A man must
fit himself for work by going upon his
knees No amount Of zeal viii take the
place OF ChriStlikeness. First must come

Fronting south and overlooking the

the association at its inception by the

These lots are located on the corner
of Fisher and Missouri streets, and the

MISSION Of CHURCH
To WIN WORLD
To CHRIST
Rev. c. J.. Overstreet SAYS
the Minister Can Not
Do 1t All.

At the First Presbyterian church the
subject of the Sunday morning sermon,
preached by the pastor, Rev. c. L. Over
street, was The Separation of the
Church" taking as his text, BE Ye
Separate"
At the beginning Rev Mr. Overstreet
referred to the great Laymen's move
ment in the church which means. he
said, that the men of the church are
coming TO realize that Christianity is
mans job. as big and manly a propo-
sition as one can well undertake; that
the work of the church is not for the
minister and a few earnest women, but
for all.
In part he said:
THE minister may be ever so elo-
quent, but, If the members are not elo-
quent in their lives for Christ. the
church is not going to grow as the
kingdom of God. The early church
soon became distinct from the life of
the world; it was a difference of prin-
ciple rather than appearance You do
not have to brand a real Christian; his
manner of life and conversation dis
tinguish him. If the church and the
world are the same, how is the church
to argue the superiority Of the Chris
tan life9
This separation does not mean iso-
lation; not withdrawal from society.
1t is what Christ had in mind when he
prayed that his disciples should be
in the world but not of the world 1t
is what Peter had in mind when he ex-
horted the followers of Christ to put to
shame the ignorance of men by their
daily walk and conversation
THAT the Christian church is a dis
NAL, unattractive institution and that
ChriStian folks are sometimes n dole
full lot, is the fault of the church and
its. members. While we may become
imDatfent with quibblers who point to
the sins of church members as an ex-
cuse for their refusing to accept the
Christian claims-yet we are not TO
be blinded to the fact that there are
MANY earnest people who are looking
TO the church to see if there is really
life there superior to the world"
In speaking of how the church should
reach out the hand of sympathy and
love toward others, he said: Herein Is
the difference between the church and
institutions such as lodges and unions.
The latter exist for their members: the
church for the members and others.
The great mission of the church is to
do good TO all and to win the world to
Christ"

morning service. There were also
numbers by the women's quartet and a
solo by ]. G. McNary.

He emphasized five great lessons
from Christ, as an evangelist. First,
His mission; second, His message; third,
His manner; fourth, His methods;
fifth, His motive.
Christ spoke with authority" he
said. He had positive convictions.

carelessness and thoughtlessness. II
one would only think Of Jesus right to

him. With others the door is barred
by worldliness. Still others have the
door bolted by the bar Of presumption.
They presume God has undertaken the
work OF their redemption and will
save them at any event; presume God
will save all men, if not here, in an
other world. They presume he will
save at death or at least tomorrow.
Knowing all this Jesus stands and
