Yesterday in the Churches
CHRIST IS GREATER
BY FAR THAN SOLOMON
BY Rev. w. T.. Robertson, OF
Randolph Baptist Church.

zone Greater than Solomon" was the
theme of the sermon preached at
Randolrh-StTeet Baptist Church last
night by the pastor, Rev. w. f. Rob-
ertson. The minister took for his
text a part OF the for:y-second verse
And behold greater than Solomon
is here
He said. in part:
solomon was great in wealth. He
and shields of beaten gold. a throne of
ivory. overlaid with gold. and elabor-
ately adorned with approaches guard
ed by figures of beasts.
He had chariots and horsemen in
large numbers. and 1t is said that ''he
made silver to be In Jerusalem as
stones, and cedars as sycamores for
abundance"
Money has marvellous power There
are times when the millionaires of the
country virtually control the nation.
But Christ is greater in wealth than
wisdom. All the earth sought the wis
all things consist. The world Is His
and the fullness thereof. BY Him
were all things made and without Him
was not anything made that was
made"
Solomon was great IN wisdom. He
exceeded all the kings of the earth
in riches and wisdom. The Queen of
the South and other Eastern poten-
tates honored him and sought his
wisdom. All the earth south the wis
dom OF Solomon.
True wisdom Is indeed greatness
There Is no real greatness without
wisdom. Such men as Washington,
Gladstone. John A. Broadus and
Phillips Brooks were great men be-
cause they were wise men, Our own
honored President, Woodrow Wilson.
Is great man because he IL wise
man.
Christ is greater in wisdom than
Solomon or other wise men of tho
world. Never man spake as he
spake." He COMPOUNDED the doctors
OF the law at the age of twelve. He
taught as one having authority, His
profound and gracious utterances are
still the subject of sincerest admira-
t!on and most careful study.
Solomon was great as king. in the
extent Of his dominion. He was the
most famous and powerful king of his
day.
But Christ is greater as King. II
will give thee the heather for thine
inheritance and the uttermost parts
Of the earth for thy possession. he
shall rule over the house of jacob
forever. and of his kingdom there
shall be no end" Isaac Watts made
a true prophecy when he sang:
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Doth His successive journeys run;
| His kingdom stretch from shore TO
shore,
TIL moon shall wane and wax no
more"
And further: Christ had dominion
over Himself This Solomon lacked:
and many of the wise and unwise or
this day are lacking In this respect.
He had power over sin. When he
commanded the evil spirits and they
obeyed Him IT is recorded that IT was
never seen on this wise"
And finally: Christ was great
and is great In love. There Us not
much said of soIomvn's love. Love
is the ..reatest thing N the w'r J.. am
no Loves to oe compared IT, Chrssts.
for greater love hath no man than
this that man lay down his lie
for his friends.

The following report from the Efile
Sears Memorial School for Girls. in
Pingtu. a great institution OF the
Southern Baptist Convention in China,
is interesting:
THE girls boarding school has an
enrolment OF los. ninety-one OF whom
are Christians. There are two men
and two women teachers giving their
whole time to the school. besides four
pupil teachers giving half time. The
school now has the best teachers and
Ia doing the best work In it's history.
THE unusually heavy rains and
foods melted down about half of the
dormitories: this and the passing and
occupation by the japanese army
made II impossible to open school this
fall.
This year has brought more OPP
|portunities for personal work than any
two previous years. During the war
In Shantung the school buildings and
dormitories were full OF refugee wo-
men and children. Daily classes were
held.
I'VE formerly considered that eighty
pupils and teachers crowded the
building beyond all measure. but what
about one hundred and nine sleeping.
eating and working In rooms that will
not hold eighty comfortably? Many
bright and promisinG girls have been
turned away for lack OF room. We
have only four recitation rooms for
the teachers: the lady teachers have
always had to sleep with the girls.
This year q kindergarten Sunday
school was started In the girls schoos
building for girls And boys from nom
Christian homes The attendance hAA
bean from eighty to one hundred and
tan. Through personal work and
teaching OF these city children ans
Visiting in their homes seed has been
sown which we pray some day will
bear much fruit. Surely God will lead
some OF these tender hearts. or
through them some OF their fathers
or omthers. into his kingdom during
the coming years"

LOVE THAT PASSETH
ALL UNDERSTANDING
Rev J. ,. Deck Discsarses ON Subject
That Interests the whole
World.

Love" was the topic of an interest
ing sermon by Rev J. J. Deck, at
Broad Street Methodist Church, last
night.
Mr.. Deck took as his text the thirty
fourth verse of the thirteenth chapter
OF John. "A new commandment / give
unto you. that ye love one another"
The preacher said that such love
was not the every day love of one
member of a family for another; nor
the love ofscharity, or benevolence. but
the love of Christ himself. The love
which is shown toward an enemy-the
love which prevails under any cir
cumstance, when trials are great and
tribuiations hard.
The love that Christ had for his
enemies and those who prosecuted him.
and whom he forgave.
May this love find its way into your
hearts. and may II remain with you al
way" said Mr.. Deck.

last, though. he reiterated that his
brother, James. had nothing to do

that he alone was responsible for 1t.
