CHRIST AND THE
CACKLE OF SOCIETY
Man From Nazareth Cared
Nothing What People
Said About Him.

THE son of man came eating and
drinking" vas the text for an inter-
esting discourse preached by the Rev.
auditorium Sunday. In the. beginning
of the sermon a parallel was drawn
comparing John the Baptist and Jesus
of Nazareth.
John came from his haunts bearing
the mountains and the wilderness in his
soul. He was a whirlwind helped by
the desert. He wore a peculiar garb,
and, unconsciously perhaps, dressed for
his part. Jesus of Nazareth. however,
never sought 20 De conspicuous by any
singularity of attire. Not till after
the soldiers threw their dirty dice for
his seamless robe are we informed as
to what he wore.
Christ was. however, more uncon-
ventional in his teaching than John in
his apparel. Christ cared absolutely
nothing what men said about him, and
no man who now cares for the foolish,
they say of society will ever be
worth his salt. The man VINO mas not
learned to despise the c2czIe OF society
and do right in spite NJ consequence,
CAN never truly enter lIlS spirit u
this man from Nazareth, and of all
places and positions on earth which he
would most disgracefully cumber, the
pulpit would be that place.
1.-The son of man camel" And it was
the coming of this unique character
which has filled our world with hope
He was supremacy the unconventional
Christ" for he aimed Dot to change So
ciety by imposing a most of anxious
rules and red-tape restrictions, but to
change it by imparting new spirit
I'VE in this new church are called,
not to forsake this world. but to live in
the world, and so to live that We may
teach men by our federation, our abso-
lutte sincerity, our moderation and our
truthfulness, that a Christian life is
possible. This life may be virile and
pure, joyous and noble, entirely human
in its interests and outlook, and yet
heavenly in spirit, and truly devout in
its aims and aspirations.
This is the Christianity that
thoughtful men and women wanna
real, genial, brotherly, unconventional
faith. A more abundant life type of
Christianity. This is what we need
and this is the faith for which weary
world waits"

Ell PasO's Saloon Evil.
"a Massachusetts factory recently
marked the $40 bills paid out to its
employees on one Saturday night and
out Of 700 such bills, 400 of them were
deposited in the bank within two days
by saloons. Isn't this an evil worth
taking sides upon? In FL Paso we
are entitled to 81 saloons according to
state law-according to the idea of
the politicians who make this regula-
tive measure; more than this number
for our population, these men recognize
as a menace. and yet we have 81 over
the limit; a total of 132.
The Church Too Scary.
''The church is too scary. Poor weak
lings that we are. we are afraid TO
take sides. The very idea Of any man
being afraid to take a stand against
gambling or liquor or their attendant
evils, It seems preposterous. but there
are many in the churches of FL Paso
who are in this position. Oh how the
church needs a tonic to strengthen its
nerve and moral courage. The day is
near when the men of the church must
realize that if they are not with God,
they are against them.

WHAT THE CHURCH
EXPECTS AND WHY
Rev. c.. l.. Overstreet Talks
on Duties of the
Members.

The subject of Rev. c. L. Overstreet's
sermon Sunday morning, at the First
Presbyterian church, was What the
Church Expects and Why" He said
that it was the business of the church
to edify and instruct those who are of
the household of faith; to enlist and
develop members for christian service;
to revive and reclaim the wandering
ones. He said that some people look
upon the church as a sort of boarding
house or nursery; that while 1t was the
desire and purpose Of the CHURCH TO
feed the flock anu TO nurture the weak,
yet the motto of every well regulated
church should be- "A work for all, and
all at work.
In part he said:
"A real. healthy christian will do
more than simply come to church from
time to time, 70 be filled up; he will
get out and earn his salt. In the ideal
church everybody works 1t has been
said that the churches greatest task
is not to save the sinner, but TO save
the saint
There is a sad stampede away from
the church in many quarters; whereas
people used to make excuses for their

tell you that church attendance and the
like are not essential. 1t is the desire
of the church to reclaim the lapsed
ones.
Not only so, but the church expects
10 win the unsaved. After all, soul Win
ming is the churchs greatest business,
and all these things the church had a
right to expect, because these are the

upon the love of God, which is broader
than the measure of mans mind; upon
the word of God, which is powerful unto
salvation, and profitable for edifica-
ton and correction; upon the spirit or
God. whose work it is TO warn and re-
buke the saints, and who convicts the
world of sin, of righteousness, and of
judgment.
The church must be prepared to re-
ceive Gods blessings; the greater our
faith and willingness to serve, the
greater the blessing. The followers Oh
Christ are his representative on
earth; we must love for God, speak for
God, work for him. He has no other
plan of winning the world than
through the agency of his people, and
he is depending on the church to do
his will
The choir sang a beautiful anthem,
her pleasing manner. There were four
members received into the church at
the morning service.
Lake E Reynolds led the Endeayor
meeting in the evening
At the evening service, Rev. Mr.
Overstreet preached from the text, He
that winneth souls is wise" He pointed
out that soul winning is the wisest work
in which one can engage. and that to
win souls one must be wise. Mrs. c. 0.
Rucker sang The Great White Throne,
and the choir sang an anthem.
