GREAT SERMON At
PRESBYTERIAN CHI.
Rev. T. w. currie, Secretary Of the
State University Y. M. c. A. De-
lighted Large Audience.

Under the subject of Gods Asset
in this Generation of Men" Rev. Y.
w. Currie, of Austin, delivered very
able and eloquent address at the First
Presbyterian church yesterday morn
ing. The appeal was irresistible and
found its way to the hearts Of the
large congregation assembled to he II
Rev. Currie.
Beginning with running exposi-
ton of the first chapter of Ephesians
he showed how Paul in making his
appeal to the new converts at Ephesns
brought out the fact that God has
chosen them in Christ before the
foundation of the world He mad
chosen them that they should be con-
formed unto the immage of Christ,
who was the personification Of the
Will of God in man. His calling them
and redeeming them was not simply
to save them from the tortures of He'll
but that they might be an asset to
Him I'm the redeeming Of all men, that
they might be an asset to Him in
establishing the Kingdom of God In
all the world.
In discussing the Kingdom Of God
as It Is exemplified in the life and
teachings of Jesus, three fundamental
principles were set forth which un'
doubtedly guided the thought and ac'
ton of Christ, and should guide ours.
The first being that humanity is sa'
cred wherever II is found. In the
closer relationship Of life we feel the
sanctity of human life. but life II
sacrednot simply because 1t Is tho
object of my love or your love but
because we are the offspring OF Coo
possessing the potentiality of Godlike
ness. of being as God in character. IN
thought and purposes.
Secondly. the normal ties whicf
hind us together are fundamental ant
essential to the Kingdom. Love unite'
two hearts In the most sacred rela
tionship, the family is likewise bount
together, love for country or patriot
ism binds compatriots and the King
= dom of God must be permeated In
true and living sense with the SANE
bond of union.
Thirdly, the strong must rcaci
, down and lift the weak. We mus
share the infirmities Of our brethren
J we must carry to them those thing
which make us strong and which lif
= us toward God and the achievement
Of His will in humanity. In proportion
as we receive the Kingdom into on
hearts and lives we are real assets Il
!. God and are usuable In the carryinI

which are open to this generation an
