CANTATA GIVEN AT
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
Christs Resurrection Brought Proof
of Immortality Says Rev.

"Alleluial Hail With GIadness, !"
was the title Of an Easter cantata Civ
en- last night at the First Baptist
church by the choir and :. number OF
musicians Of the church. Those who
took part in the cantata were, Mrs.

Rev. Charles A. Decker, pastor OF
the church, spoke at the morning
services on Easter Revelations" and
said: The grace OF Coo is eternal.
because God is eternal. Gods love TO
man is not new thing. He has al
ways been well disposed toward US.
God S love originated in Himself and
not in anything that We have done or
not done. The grace of God is mani
tested TO the world by Jesus and there
are two things Jesus did 10 show
forth the thought of God toward men.
First He abolished death, not physical
death but the sting of death, the one
produced by sin.
The second great service Christ
did for men was TO bring life and inn
mortality TO light. The fact of immOr-
tally was in doubt before the advent
of Christ. There were fcreshadoW-
ings Of it in the religions of men but
il was obscure and hidden The res
direction was like flash of lightning
on n dark night, but it is more than
a flash of light in the darkness, it is a
steady glow, the darkness has been
abolished and the sun IS ever shining"

\ Law of Religious Life.
1T is the law OF religious life. The
history OF the church of God is a story
Of the struggle and trial against ad-
verse forces. The blood of the mar
tyrs is the seed OF the church. So
long as there IS need Of self-sacrifice
and death the church will thrive and
be triumphant, but the moment she
ceases TO give her life she begins to
die. This law holds good for the
church as a whole as well as the local
organization.
1T is the law of individual life.
They spoke a truth when they said Of
Jesus. He saved others, Himself He
cannot save Paul is known the
world over as the great indomitable
champion of Christianity because he
counted not his life dear unto him
self.
India is undergoing a transforma-
ton and Africa is awaking from the
dark night of superstition because
Carey and Livingston buried their
hearts in the soil of missions 70 live

John Howard, being dead, yet speak

tentiaries.
Florence Nightingale is minister

fields Of blood through hundreds of
Red Cross nurses. Harriet Beecher
Stowe lives in freedom of the south,
and Frances Willard is triumphant as
the white-winged angel leading the
undaunted forces OF temperance TO
victory.
Death is necessary to life. He that
loveth his life shall lose it, and he
that hateth his life in this world shall
keep it unto life eternal. Our Lord
died and lay in a grave in obedience
to this law, and millions worship Him
today"

1T is the law OF vegetable life. The
farmer empties his granary of the
precious golden kernals Of grain

wealth, and scatters the seed upon
the plowed burrows with seeming
prodigality. He does it in acknow-

OF the First Brethren church in his

"No man who understands Gods

invent Immortality. but He simply

DENouNcEs sEcTARIANlsM.

We are glad to give additional pub:
licity to the following extract from a
sensible letter written by DR.. Gaylor,
Protestant Bishop of Tennessee, to
the Living Church" (EpiscopaD :
81 am not ashamed nor afraid to call
myself a Protestant Churchman; but
do refuse to be numbered among
those fanatics who presume to declare
that the two hundred and forty mil;
lions of Roman Catholics-that is,
more than half of all the protested
Christians in the world-are devoid
of true religion and yet this is the
avowed attitude of the Panama Prot
estant Conference. The promoters OF
the conference say in their published
circular: This will be a 9brotherly
conference as to how the needs Of
Latin America can be most effectively
met by the Gospel of Christi but it
does not say We have invited the
authorities of the Roman sCatholic
Church to participate in this confer
ence.'' On the contrary, they seem to
assume the irreligion of all Roman
Catholics and say, South America is
without true religion | am no lover
of the Roman Catholic system and its
Italian traditions, God forbid; but
am glad that am not member of a
conference which starts out with a vi
sion so narrow and so sectarian.

CHURCH GOODS SENT IN

The Passionist Bishop Nussbaum of
Corpus Christi, Texas, has received
quite few articles. to furnish the
numerous chapels of his diocese, but
as yet there are many churches in
his vast territory in which there are
no chalices nor monstrances, nor vest.
ments for Mass, Benediction or any
other ceremony of the Church.
The Bishop is particularly anxious
that his churches be fitted UP good
The Professionals are doing everything
possible to proselytize his Mexican
children, and his priests have not even
decent churches for them, nor fitting
places in which the Holy Sacrifice OF
the Mass can be offered up.
In order, to completely equip his
churches, he is in need of the follow

WORSHIP IN SONG.

In an interesting article on ''Wor-
ship in Song" published in 'The
Congregationalist," a well-known
Protestant weekly, we find the fol-
lowing tribute, to the old-time hymns
of the Catholic Church:
THE Christian faith finds natural
expression in song. We read with
gladn9ss that Our Lord Himself sang
with His disciples at the institution
of the Lords Supper. 1t was doubt
less the 115th and 10th psalms that
they sang together in that upper
chamber, and the psalms were the
main source of hymnology for the
early Church. But Pauls exhortation
to the Ephesians that they speak to
one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs would seem to
indicate that already, in his day, the
themes of the Christian faith found
utterance in song. Very early the
Nunc Dimittis of Simeon, the Mag
nificat of Mary, the Mother of Jesus,
and the Benedictus of Zacharias
found place in Christian worship.
The Gloria in Excelsis was used as
early as the second century. The
Oldest hymn included in our modern
hymn-books was written by Clement
of Alexandria about the year 200
A. d. The best translation of this
ancient hymn, Shepherd of Tender
YOUTH was made by DIR. Henry
Martyr Dexter, former editor of
The Congregationalist. But it is on
record that many other psalms and
odes were written from the beginning
by believers in praise of Christ
From the later centuries some of
the choicest hymns of the Church
have been handed down for succeed
ing generations. Our young people
should be familiar with these and
give them a place in their worship,
rejoicing in their expression of the
communion of the followers of Jesus
in all the ages. Christian, Dost
Thou See Them? was written by ST..
Andrew of Crete in the seventh CEN

HARD 'TIMEs ron PRIEST.

s Rev. C.Zappa, Project Apostolic of
West Nigeria, says that his priests
find themselves in a state of extreme
penury; but with a devotion that
affords him much consolation, they

privations rather than desert their
POSTS With common accord they
have taken up a manner of life little
better than the natives, bowl of
manioc, a little dried fish with some
palm oil as a condiment; forms the

This self-denial is not lost on the
newly-baptized Christians, who have
learned to appreciate better the
qualities that go to make the Catholic
missionary. The natives observe the
fortitude of their teachers with ad.
miration and respect, and hasten in
additional numbers to enter the fold
which possesses such faithful shep.
