Gives Christ's
Sacrifice AS
Most Per feet

That Jesus Christ's crucifiXiOn and
His sacrifice for His disciples and hu-
mainly, was a necessity and that it
was the most perfect sacrifice in the
history of the world, was the essence
of a sermon preached by Rev. +. d.
Sager at the Stull Memorial church
Sunday morning. Rev. Mr.. Sager is
pastor Of the church at New Carlisle,
and has often spoken before in local
churches. The regular pastor of the
church, Rev. j. +. Mckay, accepted
call from a congregation in another
city, and for the past two Sundays
Rev \. V. Babbs of Des MOines, Ia,
has been filling the pulpit.
Rev. Mr.. Sager took as his text the
18th verse of the nth chapter of the
Book of John:
II sanctify myself so that they may
be sanctified in the Truth" The speak
er declared that the later American
version of his text was nearer the or
iginal. and his sermon was based upon
the following translation:
American Version.
Il consecrate myself in order that
they may be perfectly sanctifed in the
truth
The Savior believed that his con-
secratiOn would mean the conservation
of His disciples" said the speaker.
And in their coming closer to the
truth of Ills teachings. so would the
word be spread over the earth. These
followers of His were true believers.
and the Savior, knowing this, sought
by the most emphatic means 10 place
His teachings before them.
why did He cOnsecrate Himself
20 nj
Nigh be consec-ated His was a de-
vining spirit hallowed by the protec-
ton of His Father. Giving His life
at the time when His teachings were
being received with some show of be-
lief by the people of the earth, has
been a point of discussion with many
of the earth's peoples. yet we believe
that His ACT was tn, climax TO a life
of tenderness and blessed teaching.
Allowed Spirit to- GO Forth.
The savior knew that not by His
appearance alone could be solved the
problem of worldwide teaching he
knew that 1t was impossible for Him
TO speak TO more than one people at
one time. II was not possible for Him
10 spread His teachings in more than
one locality az a time Therefore He
allowed His holy spirit TO go forth into
the world. knowing that blessed and
in Gods favor. it would bring more
people 60 the light than His teachings.
SC IL Is today We know that
Jesus Christ has sacrificed His life
that we may enter the kingdom OF
heaven. We know that He has as
.cended and that He sits at the right
hand OF God. His spirit is about US at
all times SO that il is possible for US
10 accept His creed without being
glorifed by His personal blessing"

Duty
TOAt tai7l Goal
Set By Chris t

That Jesus Christ left a message to
the Christians of the world TO carry
on the same work He conducted dur
ing His life on earth and that it is the
duty of the church to labor toward the
goal He set was the substance Of the
sermon preached at the Grace Metho-
dist Episcopal church Sunday morn
ing by DR.. G. Franklin Ream, New
York city. secretary of the board Of
education of the Methodist Episcopal
church
DR.. Ream took as his text the Cos
pei of St. John, 2O:21. LAS the father
has sent me even so send you" The
minister explained the circumstances
relating to the text, stating that it was
given to His followers by Christ on
the day Of His ascension into heaven.
Age OF Efficiency.
This is the age Of efficiency" as
serted DR.. Ream, land emphasis is
being laid upon al that is essential.
Men are thinking deeply of their bust
ness, science is being studied in order
to learn the true facts concerning all
thought is being turned upon relig-
ion.
When Jesus Christ uttered those
words. AS the father has sent me even
so send I you He bestowed a great
task upon His followers. They must
make a supreme effort TO carry out
that command although il mean the
burden of the cross which He carried
until human strength could stand no
more
Jesus Christ also said, L come that
they may have life and have it album
dainty Ii was not SO long ago that
people began TO interpret those words
as they were really meant. Years ago
some men thought to make them
selves of more service by shutting
themselves off from the world. thus
escaping all of its evils. But Jesus
Christ wants His people to have life
and have it 'abundantly. He wants
them 10 mix in the social, labor, art
and science life OF the world. He
come not TO rob men OF to take men
out of the world but 10 take the evil
out of the world.
Valued Mans Life Above All.
Jesus Christ valued the life of a
man greater than all the rest OF the
things in the world. There have been

PREJUDICE AGAINST RACE

Bringing a message that Christian

gram OF Jesus Christ for this world

at the First N. r. church Sunday

we are ourselves a part of humanity.

speaker showed in his sermon what
he considered TO be the relationship
between these seemingly unrelated
verses. In substance he said:
Ages ago God created the heavens

long n time was consumed in the
creation or in just what manner il was

This which may seem as a contradic-
tiOn is not a contradiction at all, but
is absolutely the literal truth. said
the Rev. Mr.. Kirkpatrick. we must
pass through the same process as
Paul and let Christ enter our lives
without Him we cannot be Chris
tians. With Christ placed in our lives
new harmonies. new expressions and
new combinations are brought into
our lives which never before were

first seek the mechanic but If 4 is

1T is this spirit, this racial hatred,

the idea of Jesus that the worlds re-

FORCE SAYS SHELL
Speaker at First Presbyterian
Holds it Something Alive
and of Lifting Power.

Rev. T. A. ScheI. pastor Of the old
Mnburn chapel which was located
where 81. PauTs church now stands.
preached the sermon at the First
Presbyterian church Sunday mornins.
Rev. Mr. Schell preached the sermon
at the same church on the same oc-
casiOn "a years ago when the Method
ist conference was in session here.
He took his text Sunday morning
from Matthew 1888, Another para
BILE He spake unto them: The king
dom of heaven is like unto leaven,
which a woman took and hid in three
measures of meal till the whole was
leavened."

a philosophy. II is a force. II is
something that has a lift in it and
some day the world shall yet be lift
ed up by it.
Good for Mind and Soul.
"ReligiOn and Christianity are great
things for n mans body as well as
his mind and soul. They put his soul
and mind in good condition and unless
these are clean, the man cannot be
physically fit.
IL once saw a leopard and a lion
fight in menagerie The animals
were brute mad-mad as only ami
mails can be. Their keeper first tried

the face with a whip. but this had no
effect. He next secured a heavy hiCk-
DRY stick with which he attempted 70

hot poker TO stop the angry beasts.
This fight can be compared TO n
