Delivered I've Ahle Disceurses Il
First Presbyterian ChurcA

Large audiences greeted Draw. w.
Moore. president q the Union Tbeo-
logical Seminary Of Richmond. at both
services Sunday, fl the First Freshly
terrain church. DIR. Moore u IN able
discourser andaheM the attention OF
all who heard him from the beginning
to the conclusion Of his sermon.
Taking as his theme the mission Of
Andrew In summoning his brother.
Simon Peter. when the former was
called by Christ to be one Of his apos-
ties. Doctor Moore laid stress on the
work that is being done by proxy for
the kingdom Of Jesus. Tradition
tell us that Andrew was crucified in
Greece and that his bones were after
wards taken up and re-interred in
Scotland. around which place grew
town known as st. Andrews. and that
throughout Scotland may be seen at
the entrance to the houses symbols of
the traditional st. Andrews cross.
whether this tradition II % of not
lit matters little. but II u . fact
that Andrew was the first one to
show the missionary spirit. II l should
ask you to name some great things
that Andrew did, you would be unable
to give any. He was not great man
as the world considers great men, and
yet he has been signally honored. n
| should ask you something that Peter
did. you could tell me many instances.
When Christ asked hts disciples
whom say We that I am" Peter ans
wered you are Christ. the son OF the
living God" This was the work OF
Andrew by proxy. When Peter by his
wonderful influence converted three
thousand. this was not the work OF
Peter. but the work OF Andrew by
proxy. ! say that great work has
been accomplished for Gods Kingdom
by proxy and that We should remen.-
Der this In our lives"

tort TO raise within the next 1--we
