This new beatitude is the substance
of the sermon preached by Rev. j. W.
Waldron, pastor of the Kansas Avenue
Methodist church, on "How to Sue
ceed.'' at the church last night.
Three things are necessary for sue
cess said the preacher. First, m
clination for a certain calling, that the
follower of that calling be best adapted
to it; second. the best of common
sense, and third, taking the matter to
God in prayer.
'sThe insists are a drain on society,
the people who are doing that which
they have no liking for. A job consists
primarily in making a living, but those
who truly succeed in their jobs, con-
sciously OF unconsciously, exert an in
fuence for good. Sometimes this ex-
tends from city to county, and to state
and nation, and some OF those VINO
succeed gain a worldwide reputation =
Beginning next Sunday evening the
pastor will give a series of talks on
timely subjects.
At the Second Presbyterian church,
the pastor, Rev. w. c. Meeker, last
night, beginning a series of sermons
on Scientific Faith said that this
was an age of facts. Accordingly, the
person who does not base his faith in
religion on facts was unscientlf1c. lie
advocated the avoiding of trying to
deduce facts from the mysteries OF re
Iigion, but to build up faith by adding
one known fact about mystery to
another until the so-called mystery
was understood.
Rev. Mr.. Meeker referred to works
by Howard AgneW Johnston. well
known Colorado Springs minister, who
has preached in Topeka, for his data
His sermon in part follows:
ITO ignore Christ is unscientif1c.
Those who wish to become specialists
sV7 RI under
masters Obtainable. Christ was the
specialist in character, the greatest
the world has ever known; an ideal
character matchlesS and shining With
a glory undimmed through the years.
..As scientific facts are learned by
experiment in laboratories, so facts in
religious science must be learned IN
the laboratories of religion Ihose
who refuse to experiment with rehSloh
are unscientific.'
