| Commencement week at the Central

Mclaughlin selected as his text the
10th verse of the LIST chapter of Ro-
mans, For | am not ashamed OF the
Gospel of Christ. for it is the power
of God unto salvation, to everyone
( that believeth.." ~ These words OF st.
Paul were practically the keynote of
his experience and as the apostle to
the Gentiles he was the embodiment
of enthusiasm and energy in his work.
He was a preacher of Gods word and
he was fearless in his statements.
christianity was unpopular with the
Jews because ii did away with the
forms and ceremonies of the estab-
lished church. The Greeks despised
lit because 1t was not intellectual
lenough for them. 1t was beneath the
notice of the Roman because 1t breath
ed the spirit of peace AID love and
yet Paul was proud of the gospel.
Why was Paul not ashamed? Why
should We not be ashamed? Because
tof its power and what it does. 1t Is
gospel to men and it saves from sin.
Heaven testifies in its favor and the
sons of earth respond to its good
work. AS electricity is the power OF
motion ald gravitation, the power of
ieuuilibrium, so the Gospel is the in
finite power in the Spiritual Salvation
of men. DR.. Mclaughlin spoke feel
Iingly in his charge to the class and
