Good Sermon.
The sermon last night in part fol-
lows:
We all admire a hero and despise
coward, and in this connection
am taking my text from St. ohm
xn:42. Nevertheless many OF the
chiefs and rulers believed in Him.
but because OF the Pharisees, did not
confess. fearing lest they should be
put out OF the synagogue. for they
loved the praises OF men,
These were two remarkable char.
acters. We admire heroes. despise
towards. We love the praise of men
more than the praise OF God. Jesus
was unpopular with the crowd and
was ostracized. yet by the common
people he was loved and admired
Another crowd had no use for Him
Can you think OF a man with brains
and standing in the community, who
Is afraid to confess Christ?
One remarkable thing about tbs
Bible Is the fact that IL is a true
looking glass. II tells the truth. vel
there are thousands who are attempt
ing to ridicule IL because IL make,
them see their sins In all their hor
ror.
The words OF my text were writ
ten in Jesus time and were abou,
the people OF Jerusalem. yet they an
/ ply TO Bellaire now. People do moi
confess Christ because they are
afraid OF society and fear the ridi
cule Of men. They are ashamed &c
confess their Savior. the one who
died on the cross that they nigh
live. and founded the doctrine tina
has changed the path Of the entir,
human situation.
Study the Bible.
IT you study the Bible you vii
/ ind that those who refuse Christ In
the present day and age are wors,
OF In the hereafter than the Jew,
who crucified Him.
They did not have the absolut,
proof that He was the Messiah. ia
had not been resurrected and prove.
10 the world that He was Christ in
deed. but we have all these proofs
and yet we refuse Him
Another text 10 which would
like TO call your attention IL found IN
Daniel 8. But Daniel purposed In
/ his heart he would NOT drnfo bfr,-.fl
