NEED MEN WHO WILL
FOLLOW CONVICTIONS
Stephen a Man of Unusual Talents,
Says George William
Allison.

What we need today is men and
women who are not afraid to live up
TO their convictions" declared George
William Allison in his sermon on
THE Martyrdom of Stephen" at
Hope Presbyterian church yesterday.
I'VE have in Stephen a man of very
unusual talents and OF marked ability
to lead men. But even with all of
the value that his life had for So
ciety while living. yet he did not hest
tate to declare the truth as he knew
il I'm Christ Jesus even though 1t
meant a stoning to death by the Jews.
I'VE have here an example so
heroic in its proportions that ii seems
almost impossible. Stephen was a
man who loved truth better than life.
What we need today is men and wom-
en- who also love truth better than
life. We are seldom put to the
crucial test of Shepherds were some
Chinese during the Boxer uprising
but if we were, what would result?
I'VE need men and women who are
willing not only to suffer so. but who
are such lovers of truth that they will
suffer in their business lives, their So
cial lives, in every phase of their lives
rather than sacrifice the truth. This
man stephen was more than martyr
he was a Christian martyr. He
showed such a depth of the Christian
spirit that he prayed after the ex
ample OF his divine master for those
who were hurting the stones which
beat his body senseless into death. He
also is a noble example. II is serious
ly to he questioned whether or not the
Christian church has lost much Of
the spirit of prayer and the habit of
praying for her enemies and Oppon-
ents. If we have, shall we not re-
sumo the noble practice? OF such
stuff as this is Christian martyrdom
made -
