ssThe Secret of Power" the text be-
ing found in st. Luke, 4th chapter,
S2d verse: And they were astOnish-
ed at his doctrine: for His word was
with powr." He said that God has
designed that His power shall he
made manifold through the children
of men and Gods way of demonstrate
ing His power is through the same
source. No person can be out of
harmony with God in spiritual mat
tiers and be success and the same
thing exists in natural things. What
power; has the Christian got that
moves the church to-day? The power
of Christ. The christian has the pow
err of light and also the power of
transmitting that light of the gospel
to others. Gods people out of har-
mony with God are a failure. Many
beautiful illustrations made the ser
mon one of power.
