CHRISTIAN HOPE
ONLY TRUE KIND
Rev. Frcshley Declares 1t Must BE

by Man.

There is but one hope that can
cheer US when life's hours are dark
est: there is but one hope that can
stand by US in our helplessness; there
is but one hope that can light up
the chambers Of death; there is but
one hope that can dispel the clouds
that gather around us in our dying
hours and that hope is the Christian
hope" said Rev. w. II. FreshIey. pas
tor of the First Evangelical church,
Sunday morning in his sermon on the
subject, The Christian Hope"
The great longing of the human
heart today is for peace, comfort and
hope Riches. power, position can
not give this hope. There is just as
much sorrow and heartche in the
palace as in the howell No one is SO
well able TO meet life's sorrows and
heartaches as those persons who have
taken Christ into their life This
hope cannot be defined or explained;
only he who has it as a blessed real

it.

hope, God our Father in mercy, has
redeemed us and filed our hearts with
Joy and thrilled our souls with hope.
We have light for our eyes, sound

satisfy our soul hunger with light.

are all failures as hope producers.
Fame, wealth, personal charm will
get us nowhere when we come to the

help us on that day is the hope born

lord and King. We cannot gauge our
hope Of eternal life by our church

John was love, and when he spoke OF
the subject he spoke straight from
his own heart experience.
Paul, in spite Of wonderful intel
lectuality and powerful grip on all
things, did not have heart experiences
with love. He knew what love was:
but never felt it. And since one can
not really know love until he has
felt it. Paul was far the inferior Of
John as a lover.
mo one can have wrong views of
God if he becomes thoroughly familiar
with Johns gospel. We have for
gotten Gods love for Jesus. The faith
erhoOd of God to Jesus is greater
than any fatherhoOd Of man to man
God had an infinite love for His Son
and made a great sacrifice to the
world
God is the Fountain Head of love.
It is very difficult for a mother, whose
babe has just been buried, or for a
husband at the fresh grave of his
mate to believe that God is love. But
He is love infinite; and it is impossi-
BILE for our finite minds to fathom the
death of that infinite affection.
Christ's death on the cross was not
for the purpose of appeasing the
wrath of an angry God The old the
olOgy that taught that God was a
god of blood of thunder, of passion,
of anger and of revenge is to be dis
coUraged God is love and He takes
tenderly to His bosom the child that
perishes before it reaches the TIRES
hold of manhood and womanhood. No
longer DO we consider our babes chill
dren of perdition."

MUCH TO BE THANKFUL
FOR SAYS REV. BURNS

A Thanksgiving sermon was preach
ed last night at Trinitya Presbyterian
church by Rev John s. Burns in
which he spoke of the many things
Christians have 10 be thankful fer
besides the material things of life.
IF we are grateful to Christ for
only the material things We are get
ting out Of life. we have only a few
things to be thankful for. But if we
are grateful for the spiritual things
of life we have many things to be
grateful to God for.
Ten men came to Jesus and they
all had leprosy. They asked Him TO
cleanse them and He did so. They
did not ask for shelter, food or cloth

they were cleansed only one OF them
returned to Christ TO thank Him for
what he had done. Nine of these men
were ingrates while but one was
grateful.
IF God in Christ has healed us OF
the leprosy like disease Of sin and is
keeping US day by day from. it, we
have great deal to be thankful for"

SAYS j. s. HAS
CAUSE FOR THANKS
Rev. Allison Points to Prosper
ity and Crops While the
World is at War.

Gods Gift and Our Gratitude"
was the theme Of the sermon at Hope
Presbyterian chapel last evening by
the minister, Rev George William
Allison. The sermon was in the ma
ture Of a Thanksgiving meditation.
In part he said:
IF there are any people upon the
face Of the earth who have reason to
be thaHkful-those people are in the
United States. In a time of world
hatred we have managed alone OF
the great nations TO escape the rigor-
Gus pains Of warfare. We have been
blessed abundantly with material
blessings. our crops are greater than
ever-as though the good Lord knew
that we must have a share in feeding
the starving millions Of our fellows
whose fields are untitled except for the
wicked devastation OF trenches. 1t is
not because we are better people than
our brothers Of Europe; we are of the
same desires. the same passions in
very deed Of the same blood. our
goVeInment has been acting largely
under the same presuppositions as
those whose fortunes have been pitch
ed in war. We can alone ascribe 10
the providence of God the fact that
we have escaped-and they have suf-
fered. In very truth we can pray
We are not worthy. Lord, of thy
gracious gifts. so freely vouchsafed
US We are no more worthy than
they.
Let Gratitude BE Sincere.
Further let our gratitude be gen.
uine and sincere. The only thing
worse than that inhuman monster we
call an ingrate-is the more hideous
monster called a hypocrite Let us
rather be frank i'm our ingratitude
than feign gratitude we DO not feel.
Honesty is a higher virtue than graft
tude; sincerity than even thanksgiv-
ingl

abundance which we possess, nor let

Three Cigarette Faults
TO Avoid

First, avoid cigarettes that
don't just suit your own taste.
Second, avoid those that
bother your throat or tongue.
Third, avoid those that
make you feel mean after
smoking al you want.
If Fatimas, for instance,
seem to you to be guilty on
any one of those three counts,
