PGrsOIs.

a study Of the life or Moses IS most
profitable. not that everyone living
can be Moses any more than one
can be a Washington. a Lincoln or a
Livingstone but there are certain great
crises IN every life which determine
the future and declare the quality Of
the soul. as was the case with Moses, -
said Rev. 7. J. Parsons. pastor of the
Quincy Street Baptist church Sunday
morning on the subject Go 10 Church
Band The sermon was one of a Sc
ries of talks the pastor is delivering
TO the young people especially of the
congregation on the general theme,
Milestone of Moses"
The fact that Moses made mistakes
is no reason for refusal to hear from
him, for if we waited for a perfect hI-
man model we would never study hu-
man character. 1t is an inspiration
to us 10 see what God can do with a
life devoted TO His service. l would
press it upon YOU as a great fact that
Gods work today calls for men and
women of Moses calibre, and the OPP
portunities for service are innumera-
bic in all parts of the world.
Moses made a great decision. He
chose TO. suffer affliction with the
people of God rather than 10 enjoy
the pleasures Of sin for a season. That
reads very beautiful in a book and
we applaud Moses for his choice; but
are we willing to initiate him? How
many today are choosing to suffer for
Christ. TO renounce the ease and
pleasure Of the world to become Chris
tians? 1t was the decision Of a great
and noble soul.
Moses received great call. God
spoke to him from the burning bush
and called him from the dull life Of
n shepherd TO perform a great mis-
sion. Gods people had been enslaved
many years. and He wanted someone
to go and deliver them and out of that
raw material 90 build the undying ma
ton of Israel 1t was a tremendous
task, and we cannot blame Moses for
feeling that he was unequal to it.
God is calling to the young men and
women Of today 20 carry the gospel Of
emancipation 10 the people in bondage
to sin and superstition in all parts of
the world. The work calls for hero
ism and conservation What is your
answer to this call Of God?
Moses had great vision. He was
gifted with the sixth sense-spiritual
insight-which we call faith. He saw
Him who is invisible He lived above
and beyond his generation. He was
deeply RELIGIOUS as every great soul
must be. He was borne along in his
ministry by the compelling power of
the invisible Christ. Moses assembled
the mountain sOlitudes alone He
alone saw God. the promised land the
kingdom Of Israel. the Christ, the ex-

can some be made TO realize their in

We only hope il may be also efnca-

OF Christ who was led as a lamb 10

depravlty of sin This IL did in the
spectacle OF sin venting itself upon
perfect innocence. May this teach us
the real quality Of our sin, May 1t
lead us also To loathe IL, shun II and

OF the living Christ and his loving

WAY TO COMMAND
GOD Is TO OBEY HIM
First Element Found i'm Men of Faith
Today is Sacrifice. Says Rev.
". III. Freshley.

''The first element found in the men
of faith Of today is sacrifice. 1t does
not take heros to receive from God: a
beggar can do that. But to offer unto
God a faithful service often means the
crucifxion OF self; it means the sacri-
fee of our opinions. our Wills and put
ting a full reliance upon Cod said
Rev. w II. Freshley. pastor OF the
First Evangelical church, Sunday
morning in his sermon on the theme,
Elements of Faith.
God will not allow the memory Of
a self sacrificing man or woman to
die with them. This is illustrated by
the monuments erected 10 Washing
ton. Lincoln. Garfield, Mckinley and
many others.
Another element of faith is per
sistence in we'll doing. Enoch did
not try to get God TO walk with him,
but did his best to walk with God.
During the war Of the rebellion some
prayer and fasting that God might be
on our side in that great war. Lincoln
said, God is always on the right side,
let us get there with him.
The only way to command electri-
city is to obey its laws and the only
way to command God is to obey His
laws.
Fear is another great element of
faith. Fear makes towards of heroes
The fear Of God makes heroes while
the fear of man makes towards. The
greatest need OF our day is a healthy
fear of God. This is needed in busi-
ness. in politics. in social life and in
the church. The man who makes his
boast that he has no fear of sin. the
devil OF hell. is a coward and when
ne comes to die it will be proven so.
obedience. another element, is IL
Illustrated by Abraham who obeyed
God and offered Isaac in spite of the
promise that he should he the future
heir. Self denial the most important
and hardest phase of faith to abide by
is found lacking i'm many hearts. Hon
or, wealth pleasure and social pres
tige were offered Moses by Egypt but
he refused it all and chose to go with
Gods people. Moses would rather be
right than Egypts ruler. A boy re-
fused TO stretch the cloth he was sell
ing, his employer discharged him. and
later he became the well known Adam
Clark.
This is a free country; can't 7 do
as I please? No, your liberty and
mine ends where someone else's well
fare begins. A man who had parta-
ken too freely at a booze joint went
down the street swinging his arms un-
til he struck a fellow on the nose. The
fellow wheeled and knocked him
down He got up and said, 81 would
like 10 know IL this is not n land Of
liberty?" YES, but your liberty ends
just where my nose begins"

The first petition is that His peo-

place OF worship where they can come
together in body 20 give praise TO
the Lord and ask forgiveness. He
asks that His people be given food
and shelter that they might not starve

Christ asks that His people be a

given "a place OF worship. food and
shelter, but that they use these things
for their good as we'll as for the JOY
OF God.
THE scriptures teach us that God
is we'll pleased with those who build
temples TO his name. We have heard
how he filled the temple of Solomon
with His glory. and how in the second
temple He manifested Himself still
glOriously. The gospel approves and
commends the centurian who built

sermons on the general subject.
Mountain Scenes IN the Bible. -"
THE first thing to be noted Is that
the TRANSPORTATION took place apart.
It was only for these who had eyes TO
see il. II was not for the multitude.
They saw the other miracles and were
not satisfied. They could not appre-
ciate this holy scene.
The multitude ordinarily does not
see the finest things in life II is only
the few who appreciate the beauties
of a fine picture. II is a most diff
cult thing TO get n crowd to listen to
a lecture on a lofty theme, or 10 hear
music of a high character Even in
South Bend the multitude is found at

the things really worth while.
This was not for the unsympathet-
ic There were enough of those in
the course of the days work And
the unsympathetic could not appre-
ciate Jesus. Spiritual things are dis
cerned only by those who have spir-
itual insight
Another lesson 10 be learned from
this story is that God thinks it worth
while TO resort 10 unusual means to
save the world. Here is an evidence
of it. Many a man does not think his
sOIl sufficiently worth saving TO exert
himself in an unusual way. But God
does
in the Old Testament it was com
mon for God TO speak to men face to
face. But in the new He rarely does
it. The reason is that He has spoken
once for all in His Son. But He will

credited among men. so He speaks

CHRIST CAME AS
SOCIAL REFORMER
His Teachings Were For the

the Primary Object of His

Sunday morning on the subject, The
Call of the Carpenter" The sermon
was the second in a series OF sermons
on the general subject, The Gospel ia
Literature"
With the general proposition OF the
book l most heartily agree. II is true
that Jesus did not present any partic-
ular theory OF economics nevertheless
II Is very clear 10 any student Of the
New Testament that Jesus Christ
preached the gospel OF a kingdom. in
which the social evils Of his times and
of all times should be done away and
in which spirit of honesty and right
eousness should prevail
In His first sermon preached at
Nazareth He said: He hath anointed
me TO preach good tidings TO the poor.
He hath sent me TO proclaim liberty 20
the captives. Ii is very evident that
these words have a social significance.
Jesus came 10 the people of his own
age as a social refOrmer. He came 20
break down the evils of His day and
establish a kingdom OF better things.
This surely was part OF the program Of
Jesus Christ.
L would call your attention 90 the
words that Jesus taught His discipues
to pray. He said pray, our Father

The Suffering Of the Innocent
was the theme Of the sermon last
evening at Hope Presbyterian chapel
by the pastor, George William Ali

lem of why the innocent must suffer
while the evil escape afliction. In
summary he spoke as follows:

most of whom were drowned. While
this in reality only shows the hellish-
ness Of war. no matter whether we
are pro-Germa or anti-G erman, 1t
also serves TO bring TO our atten- on
again the question of the justice OF
the universe. This is a question Of
the ages 1t puzzled the mind of an
ancient Job. 1t stuns our thought
and gives our faith a temporary par
alysis today. Why must the innocent
suffer?
1t is unquestiOned but they do suf-
fer. Many Of those on board the
Lusitania were no parties TO the war.
A great number of them were bent
upon missions not only of peace, but
actually for the relief of suffering and
pain. But these. as many others less
worthy. found a watery grave. their
mission was charitable. Another il
lustration We have read and heard
OF the almost unspeakable suffering
