Rev. Barnes's S Sermon.
Hope Is common to the race, though
il is sometimes mistaken for n mere wish
or aspiration; but men everywhere have
hope 1t urges the student TO long hours
OF study. and causes the old philosopher
to work among musty books in dingy
room for years In search OF some truth.
1t draws men away from their quiet
homes TO the field OF battle and plunges
them into the horrors OF war, il sends
them across deserts beneath a blistering
SUM- and up into the frozen northland in
| quest of fortune. This sort OF hope is
| common TO the race. but the hope OF
which the text speaks is otherwise IN
that II is common TO the Christian,
Christian hope Is bounded by no hori-
zon: IL sweeps over two worlds-Ihis
world and the world to come. The
| Christian in this world must share the
| lot that is common to his race. but amid
| its turmoil and uncertainty and disap-
polntments he is held steady and secure
by the anchor of hope that enters into
that within the veil. He is not bound
| by human limitations.
| Generally speaking. men recognize
their limitations in this life. but the
Christian keeps right on into the holy
of holies OF the life TO come. He enters
into fellowship, ultimately with the an
gels and the spirits OF just men made
| perfect through this hope in Christ"
| The Rev. Mr.. Barnes closed his sermon
by urging all present to accept Christ
| and thereby TO come Into possession OF
| this hope.
