SERMON ON THE ADVENT.
Rev. Or. Allison Delivers FOrcefnl
Sermon on Prophetic Portion of
the Bible.

There was an increased attend
,ance AZ the Second Presbyterian
Church last night 10 hear Rev. Dr..
!. Lee Allison's sermon on the sec
ond advent of Jesus Christ. The
discourse was well-conceived and
was delivered in an interesting and
earnest manner. The doctor read the
first cnapter OF the Book OF Acts. bur
he took his text from Titus H.. l3:
Looking for that blessed hope, and
the glorious appearing of the great
God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
During the delivery Of his sermon
Doctor Allison weni over considera-
BILE ground. making many references
10 passages in the Old and New Tes-
taments. Among other things he call
cd attention 10 The fact that the seq
und coming Of Christ was referred TO
in over one hundred places in The
New Testament; that the book was
h0ney-cOmbed with this important
subject. and that il was the hope Of
the apostles and other early disciples
during several centuries which fol-
lowed The resurrection Of the Author
Of the Christian faith. The speaker
announced his firm belief in the lit
cral re-appcarance OF Christ on this
carth--as literal as when he ap-
pearcd in the manger AT Bethlehem.
Doctor Allison incidentally referred
TO the Mems Religious Forward
Movement now being entered INFO
with so much earnestnesS, and quot
ed from the 2Ith chapter of Mat
thew to show that before the close
OF the present dispensarion and the
second appearance OF the Saviour that
the Gospel was TO be preached 10 all
nations as witness-nOt thar all
would be converted.
Dr.-Allison will deliver = sermon
on similar prophetic lines next Sun
day night.

AMERICANS HEAR SERMON.
Interesting Service at Trinity Mcifo'
dist Episcopal Church iestfr-
day.

a large audience greeted Rev. IT,
4. Luttrell, at the Trinity Church
yesterday evening, and heard special
sermon on the bible in the Public
Schools" a large delegation from
the Fraternal Americans OF Alexan-
dria and some Of the Washington
Hodges were represented, as was also
the Daughters Of America Of this
place.
Mr.. Lnitrall said in part: '.ll
gives me Il great deal Of pleasure TO
welcome you TO. our church this ev-
! ening, because am in thorough
sympathy with the noble work that
you are doing--not the least of which
is the placing of an American flag
over every school house in the land.
and the placing of bible on every
school house desk The stars and
stripes. the emblem OF our liberty,
and the bible, the foundation on
which rests all our law, order, NOR
ais, and from which came our fore
fathers conception Of rreedom-it is
very right and proper That the school
children of the land early learn 10
know and love them. The bible is
the source Of all the greatest good
that has come to the world. The
nations that have had the bible haYe
been the nations that have risen high
est in the scale of civilization. The
great reforms of the world had their
inception in the bible. The bih!c
has Influenced the great leaders OF
thought. like Shakespeare, Bacon,
Browning and also great statesmen
like Gladstone, Washington and
Lincoln. and made them men Of
righteousness and power. You men
who arc Christians, here tonight. will
bear me out in saying that the great
est influence on your life for good
was made by bible truth, on your
minds while you were young.
The bible never brought anything
but good in the life Of any man, and
should not such n book be read to
the young? Ii may be objected that
some portions OF the book are too
difficult for children to understand.
Why moi read what they can under
stand? Anybody can understand the
story Of Joseph, Of Daniel. Of Jacob.
Or the parallels of cur Lord, how
simple, There is plenty 10 read that
is so simple that the wayfarins man
lhough fool need not err therein.
The difficulty is not that the
children get too much of the bible.
but rather that they get TOO little.
Doing our very best 10 teach them.
we are infinitely sorry that some of
them never hear anything about the
bible at all. and some others SO lit
tie. Is not ii the duty Of every Chris
tian to do all in his power 10 bring
God S word 10 the young, praying that
il maybe lamp unto their feet and
q light unto their pathway"
