Standing for an Orthodox acceptance
Of Biblical teachings and inveighing
against attempts to modernize heaven
and hell, as, he said, was the effort of
certain sect, DIR. ". r. Wedderspoon,
pastor of the Foundry NJ. f. Church,
made an earnest plea before the District
Sunday School Association, in the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church, last
night. for old-fashioned religion.
He insisted that the sins Of man must
he accounted for in a hereafter. and
that the only way to bring heaven to
earth is by literal acceptance of the
Scriptural teachings.
DIR. Wedderspocn took as his topic The
Sunday school teachers Joy" He con-
graduated the teachers upon the privilege
that was theirs, in that they had ac-
knowledged Christ's command and haG
become in consequence eXpOsitors Of
Gods word. He said there were three
privileges accorded the Sunday school
teacher and enjoyed by no other calling
OF life
First is the partnership with God that
the adoption of the profession demands;
secondly, the joy of anticipation. that has
served as inspiration for Michael An
gelO and other great artists, for states
men, warriors, AMI all leaders OF men.
ne Speaker OtCldTeO InaI great men
wOuli never have graced US as a nation
had it not been for the fact that the
anticipation OF the glorious results of
their achievements would be sufficient
compens alton for the sacrifice entailed by
their undertaking
He asserted. however, that the Sunday
school teacher was inspired by a still
higher motive than aCtuated the deeds
of famous men. in that the reward of
was the primal motive In the life OF the
religious worker Disclaiming that such
sacrifice was inspired by selfish motives.
the speaker intimated that it was only
an illustration OF the riEhtful contention
that the laborer is worthy of his hire.
DR.. Wedderspoon intimated that It was
folly for = religious sect to hint that
heaven could he brought TO earth.
and at the same time discount the truth
of certain inspired passages in the Bible.
