Sermon by Rev. w. n. Bath,
Most OF the preachers thus far and
| those vet to come before the meeting
closes have been from outside the
New England Southern conference. All
are excellent. Still IL was gratifying
to many that one Of the preachers of
Norwich district was the speaker on
Wednesday evening at the tabernacle,
Rev. w. II. Bath, pastor at South
Manchester, whose text was 1 Cor.
10: /: we suffer all things lest we
hinder the gospel of Christ"
Paul, in this declaration. shows he
is willing to give up his rights for
others.
our topic is: Our Rights and Our
Attitude Toward Them.
Rights are always personal, between
man and man. We do not think of
rights OF thunder, of the food, of the
earthquake. Our constitution says
every man has an inaiienable right
| to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
| piness. When my right becomes an
other mans wrong, l must relinquish
my right have right to thrust
out my fist, but not in another mans
face.
At the conclusion of this very i'm
pressive sermon, the district superin
tendent spoke few words. He said.
! 81 wonder what would have happened
| IL Jesus Christ had always stood IN
| for his rights. What sort of a world
would it be il Christians should al
| ways insist upon their rights? A
| number of testimonies were given and
the meeting ended. Several hundred
! were present.
