DRESSES UP IN
CHRISTIAN "ARM0R"
Rev. j. :. Burns illustrates Christian
ity Needs Men OF Heroic
Natures

The fact that a sermon is made
more impressive by illustrating IL in
some way has been proved by Rev
John : Burns, pastor Of Trinity Pres
byterian church. during the past few
Sunday evenings. Last night the pas
tor dressed himself up to illustrate
the Christian armour" which was
his subject for the evening.
He had a girdle labeled Truth"
a breastplate labeled "Uprightness;'
shoes labeled The Good News or
Gospel a shield labeled Faith" a
helmet labeled Salvation" and a
sword labeled The Word of God"
He said that IL was a mistake for
people 20 think the Christian life was
one of lethargy and ease or lack Of
heroic conflict or call for virile man
hood. Christians are, it is true, not
TO be thought of as trouble makers,
rebelliOus. or warlike, but they are to
De known as soldiers of the cross
soldiers of righteousness doing Wallet
work for the cause of Gods kingdom.
The Christians battles are such as
demand more heroism than any con-
flict Of modern warfare.
1.-The Christian has no fife and drum
20 cheer him on. He is not fighting
against an open foe but against an
unseen. wiley. treacherOus foe-a
principal of evil rampant in the world,
evil men with evil designs whose tao
ties are not open conflict Then the
Christian is TO defend himself against
temptation. 1t is a heroic life, this
Christian life. We are TO stand firm
We are to stand upon the field when
the battle is over as conquerers with
all the forces Of evil subdued and
fallen about us. Right is right and
right the day must win. To doubt
would be disloyal and to falter would
be sin God is on the side of right
and we must win. The time demands
strong men and brave. The Chris
tan life is a fight 10 a finish. We
must be knights in every truth. We
cannot win the fight Of life without
the God given armor which 1 have
illustrated as having been given by
the Apostle Paul TO the Ephesians
long ago. He who tries to win the
fight of life without his armOr is
bond to fail There is death for him
and not victory. You Will note that
there is no armOr for the back Of the
Christian soldier. He is never TO flee.
He is to face his foe manfully and
cOnfidentially. being sure Of victory
through God who strengthens"

and destitute have reason TO thank
Westminster for garments, fuel and

cnlarges our outlook upon the COM

everything that touches upon cOngre-
gational selfishness. The church eN-

PLEADS SPIRIT
OF GOOD WILL
Rev. Decker Asserts Aid of No Value
Unless Backed by sympathy
and Kindness.

Purposes and plans for the work Of
the II charitable societies of the city
were discussed by Rev. 9. y. Decker.
pastor Of the First Baptist church,
Sunday morning in his sermon on
Good Will Week in This City In
speaking on the subject he said IN
part:
1T is 10 be hoped that the Fedora
ton Of Social Service will secure the
$4,000 it is attempting TO raise this
week. The , charities that are thus
TO be supported during the year are
splendid institutions and are worthy
of our generous consideration. Good
will is the dominant thought Of the
week. What are the reasons why this
idea should dominate the people of
South Bend. and everywhere?
"One reason is that the idea of
charity, in the right understanding of
that term. is fundamental in the
Christian conception Of human So
3 ciety. See the record in the Acts Of
the Apostles for an exhibition of this
idea The strong helped the weak.
/ and the rich contributed to the sup
port and comfort of the poor. They
I had things in common. Nobody had
need. Churches favorably located
contributed to the needs of the fellow
Christians who were not so we'll stu
ated. 1t is to be remarked that this
idea comes to it's highest expression
I'm Christian communities. There is
nothing like ii in India, for instance.
There are plenty of beggars there, and
no doubt they receive aims but that
is nothing like the situation among
Christians where the aims is OF sec
ondary importance and the expression
of good will comes first.
Best Way TO Meet Needs.
Another reason why this spirit
should dominate all our people is that
it is the most convenient way of meet
ing the needs of the unfortunate un-
der the present organization of So
ciety. There are many people below
the line of independence. Society is
wrongly organized or they would not
| be there 1t ought not to be neces-
sary to solicit funds for the poor, for
/ there should be no poor But until
/ that time comes it will be necessary
TO provide beds in the hospitals for
| those who cannot pay, and food for
children who would otherwise starve.
Now, so long as it is necessary to
I do this we may as we'll infuse the eff
( fort with the spirit of good will. No
one helps his fellow men to any pur-
/ pose unless he puts into his help some
sympathy and kindness The gift
without the giver is bare While we
are waiting for society TO be recon
/ structed we have the chance to help
the unfortunate by showing that there
is some milk of human kindness left
/ in our nature.
And then the reflex benefits of ex-
! pressing good will are such as to make
/ this alone an adequate reason for it,.
| Aside from the great demands of hui
| man brotherhood, if it were but for a
selfish motive. we must have good
will in our hearts for men"
