Mr.. Dunlop to the Kendall people.
The Kendall Church, which was for
merly a mission Sunday school, grew
out of the Calvary Baptist Church: was
organized November %, 1888, when
twenty-three members of the Calvary
Church withdrew at the solicitation of
Rev. S. H. Greene to form the nucleus
of the new organization.
The late Rev. Theron Outwater was
called to be the first pastor and served
for period of twenty-seven years
when the congregation numbered near
ly 400.
November %. 1901. the Calvary Church
granted letters of dismission to 269
members Of the Kendall branch to form
an Independent church organization,
which years later moved from the
frame chapel at 1914 and D streets
southwest to the tabernacle property on
9Th street southwest near B street, pur-
chased for them by the Calvary Baptist
Church Extension Society.

The test of true faith is in this, that
ut worketh by love-" It is based on
love to God and our neighbor. Faith
and love go together, yet faith, in one
sense at least, comes first, it being i'm
possible to love that in which we do
not believe.
For without faith it is impossible
to please Him, for he that cometh to
God must believe that He is. and that
He is the rewarder of them that dill
gently seek Him" Out of such belief
arises love, and faith is made efflca-
cious in love.

The faith that Paul described in

love" cannot be barren Of deeds. Love
inspires energy and activity. Love, more
than anything else, promotes works.

Evidence here means conviction. Faith
in Christ convinces men of the truth Of
revelation, and the things mot seem Of
which He speaks become as real to the
eye of faith as the things seen do to the
eye Of the body.
God in Christ gives the evidence, the
testimony concerning the invisible re-

conviction, that His testimony Is true.

Three things the Master hath to do.
And We who serve Him here below
And long to see His kingdom come
May pray or give or go.
He needs them all-the open hand
The willing feet, the asking heart
To work together and to weave
The threefold cord that shall not part.
Nor shall the giver count his gift
As greater than the workers deed,
Nor he in turn his service boast
Above the prayers that voice the need.
Not all can go; not all can give
To arm the others for the fray;
But young or old. or rich or poor,
Or strong or weak-we all can pray.
Pray that the full hands open wide
To speed the message on its way:
That those who hear the call may go
And-pray that other hearts may pray.

most of those that have been preserved

ties, for this was the note that sounded
most clearly in all the teaching of
John.

man for God and for man.

The Application.

This noble passage contains the gist
of Johns letter. and, indeed. of all the
teaching and preaching he gave the
world. 1t is the very highest idealism,
and yet when we consider it in con-
nection with such citations as the thir-
tenth chapter of I Corinthians, and
various other teachings, we begin to
perceive that instead of being inn
practicable and unattainable. this is,
in fact, the only practical or even pos
sible method of making the world
happy.
from sin; sin Is the transgression of
Gods law, while love is it's fulfillrnent.
Consequently, when all the people in
the world. individually and collectively,
reach the perfection in love to which
John points us sin will be eliminated:
misery and suffering cease to exist and
the millennium Of happiness and joy
will be here.

Faith and Hope.
Faith in Christ, according to Paul, is
''the substance Of things hoped for. the
evidence of things not seem"
1t is substantial in being the basis Of
the expectation Of good things which God
has promised In Christ, and gives to the
things hoped a real subsistence in the
mind and heart.
Faith and hope are inseparabie. The
objects of our hope are the objects Of
! our faith.
It is the confident and firm expectation
that God will perform all He has
promised, and this expectation Is SO strong
that 1t gives a sense Of possession in the
foretaste Of their reality.
So in the exercise of faith the Christian
is filled with contentment and peace.
which is the most substantial reality the
soul can know.
