The story of the Prophet Elijah,

the theme OF Rev. Mr.. Caves sermon,

power of the Prophet was depicted in
all its strength, so was the failure of
methods that were more spectacular

force as compared with moral and
spiritual strength and illumination.

every one 10 remember that 1t is
what each one brings in the shape
of the contribution of personal char
acter to the life Of the church, each
Sunday school teacher, each visitor Of
the sick, each toiIer in tle factory,
each worker behind the bench, each
witness for Jesus Christ, in the house
of business, it is that which really
makes up the power OF this Christian
society. Yes, We may look at our
figures and count up our number OF
members; we may regard the number
of additions to the church, but the
guarantees Of the church's efficiency
during the next year or service are to
be found in the deep faith which each
one OF US has in God in the burning
love which We have for Christ and
for men, in the spirit of prayer which
marks us, morning by morning, day by
day, as We dedicate ourselves to the
new work before US. There is not
one who cannot contribute to the SER
vice Of God. There is not one Of US
here who cannot give the very best
gift that is ever offered to God, the
gift Of holy, loving, obedient life,

children, that lived in the presence of
our fellows hour by hour, Is a preach

powerful than all organized endeavor,
however necessary this may be. AS
God had the seven thousand hidden

of the church there has always been a
band of heroes who could not be sub
dued TO evil, and in these God finds
the best guarantees for the triumph
of His kingdom in the earth.

Day" which occurs October 13. The

ing Mr.. McFerran's theme for the
morning service was Faith in God"
There was a man sent from God
whose name was John" We know
from our study of the Scriptures that
John believed himself TO be a mes
ssnger sent from God. The people
believed him to be messenger, and
so they listened TO him. and were
themselves led 10 know God. When
Jesus came, they were prepared to re-
ceive Him, as the Savior of the world.
Why did John have such faith in
God, and why did ne believe himself
10 be a messenger from God? In
the first place Johns faith was a nat
ural result of his early training. His
poItI-ls DCiitsSu III uOu anu Ie ndo
led through them to seek God in
prayer. When he became a man he
was so filed with the Spirit of God
that he knew he must give TO others
OF his knowledge, that he must bear
witness OF that Light" If we are 10
lead others TO have faith in God, II
must be through the human heart. If
our daily life is not in accordance
with what we profess, then we can
not hope 10 lead others TO believe in
Him. The church is in reality re-
sponsible for much Of the agnosticism
Of today. II there were more relig.
ion of the heart, and less attention
TO creeds and dogmas, then there
would be no room in the heart of
man for doubts and fears.
