SPEAKS ON THE
CHRISTIAN PRIZE
Service of God Not an Empty
One Says Rev. Clyde
Wynegar.

THE Christian Prize" was the sub
ject Of the sermon delivered by Rev.
Clyde Wynegar at Grace Evangelical
church sunday morning in the alb
sence of the pastor, DR.. c. A. Lippin-
colt.
The service of God is not an empty
one. 1T produces great bliss in this
life and l. shall be crowned with ever
lasting hOnors. Firs+ the Christians
prize is preceded by the Christian race
or q course Of piety. God has called
his people from the pursuits of sin
TO engage in his service This has
been called a holy or heavenly call
ing and frequently it is called the
calling of God
The nature Of the call for the peo-
pie is honorable. holy and useful. 1t
is the service of God akin TO that of
the angels. The Christian prize is
invaluable and everlasting as contrast
ed with those of the Greeks. 1t is
eternal life and glory and called a
browning gold of life and righteous
ness.
This prize is faithfully promised
and presented by Christ Himself to
stimulate us forward. In the Grecian
games the leafy crown was placed up
on a pole at the end of the race course
that those who ran might see it. Jesus
in heaven holds up the crown of life
10 the eyes of his peoples faith and
says BE thou faithful
The prize was purchased by Christ
and will be given by virtue of His
sacrifice 1t Will be publically be-
slowed upon all who are faithful in
the race. The Christian race and the
prize TO crown it demands intelligent
and vigorous exertion. Our conduct
must be according to divine will. 1t
must he regulated by the precepts and
examples of Christ We must ever
have the prize in view it animates and
strengthens us. We can only do this
by at all times doing our Christian
duty"

SAYS BEST AIM IS
TO SERVE GOD
"Thrcc Ep.tapIls" subject OF sermon
b. EC1. q. Bird, ,-is ion
superintendent.

Learning planning and serving"
were The three points brought out by
Rev. Ray a. Bird. superintendent of
the City Mission. Sunday morning in
his sermon at the Westminster Pres
byterian church on the subject The
Three Epitaphs"
I'VE are well acquainted with the
people who are constantly wanting to
learn more of the earth and its ways,
TO become better educated and more
experienced in the happenings of this
world. Many men and women are
spending their lives seeking knowl-
edge of the world but all will fail If
they try 10 do this without the Chris
tian spirit connected with their work.
Wisdom is a great thing if it is con-
nected with God but without Him it is
nothing of value. We hear of great
men climbing 10 the top Of the ladder
but in every case we find that he has
been a Christ follower during his
climb.
Men are constantly planning. With
out planning person will never reach
the top OF the ladder as each step must
be planned before il can be taken.
Abraham Lincoln began at the foot
of the ladder and elm bed up TO the
highest round in the United States
the presidency. His success was not
due to his planning with God as with
all his work a connection could be
found with Christ.
There are three ladders which men
are often found TO climb. The finan-
cial one is one that can be climbed
but after getting at the top there is
seldom any satisfaction found. The
fame ladder is one that lasts for only
a few years and IL Is lost. The other
ladder very popular today Is the honor
ladder in which many people are
working for, but the greatest ladder is
the one that reaches heavenWard. the
one that is climbed by all Christians.
Serving, the purpose for which
Christ gave his life is the one counts
by far more than either learning or
planning. We must not serve Christ
because He clothes, feeds or shelters
us. but because He shed His blood on
Calvary's cross and gave His life for
us He who rails TO nut Christ into
his life is making the most vital mis-
take in his life"

CHRISTIANS MUST LEARN
TO ENDURE SAYS PASTOR
Rev. l.. III. Briggs illustrates With
Story of Paul and Disciples
of Christ.

Rev. f. II. Briggs. pastor of Lowell
Heights Nj. z. church, filled the pull
pit at st. Paul's NJ. +. church Sunday
morning. speaking on the subject,
Christian Endurance"
In speaking of the many things q
Christian is deprived Of he said:
I'VE must all go through a certain
amount of tears and trials before We
can stand before the public and call
ourselves Christian. We find all the
influential Christians of the early
times going at some time or other
through a number of trials that were
hard for them TO endure at first until
they had OverpOwered them. Many
things were given mp by these men
and women as the modern Christian
must give up also.
Paul was told by Jesus to go and
preach the gospel and he went not
into the country, but into the city
where the sin and shame was to be
found in every walk of life. and here
he not only preached the word of
God in public places and TO the pub
lie but he also carried it around from
house to house. This was hard at
first TO do. but soon Paul became so
strong in the work that through him

SEES BIC FUTURE
FOR JAZZ ANESE
Professor of WaSeda University
Speaks at First Bap-
fist Church.

The great progress that the Japa-
nese nation has Witnessed during the
past so years is only a prophecy OF
what she will do in the next half
century, said Rev II. 3. Benning-
hoff LAST night at the First Baptist
church in his sermon on the subject
THE New Christian Opportunity In
Japan"
Rev Bennington who has been a
professor in the department OF phil
osOphy of Waseda university, Toxic,
Japan. for the past seven years.
brought many interesting stories and
conditions of the Japan folk back to
America with him.
More progress has been made IN
Japan during the past half century
than in any other country" was the
statement made by Rev. Bennington
Before this time Japan was without
schools. churches, young peoples in
situations and other organizations
that are helpful to the people morally,
physically and mentally.
Education of the Japs has been
taken over by America and the result
has been wonderful. Cities have been
improved with modern buildings from
the low single story building to
been built and in ORDER that they
could get a start in the world peo-
pie worked in them for less than 40
cents per day and lived on two dollars
per month. They are doing this sole
ly because they are progressive. The
people Of that nation have at last
awakened and they are building their
country and themselves up in every
way.
The future prospects of the Japa-
nese nation are greater than any 9TH
err 1t is situated between Asia and
the Pacific ocean or the United States
being very near to countries that are
undeveloped in commercial industrial
or religious relations with the world.
At the Waseda university there are
at present more than 1900 students
from China learning the ways and
customs of the Japanese people
Japan is not free from modern
problems, but is bothered more with
them than any other country. The
temperance problem, the white slave
problem. labor problem and capitalist
problem are all well known in that
country. but through systematic work
these problems are being mastered.
This country has always had these
problems to contend with, but Japan
has but recently met them and she
is taking care of them in a better way
than any other civilized country could
hope to-
