''PROUDOF THE
GOSPEL THEME
LAST NIGHT
ANOTHER OF DR.. WILLIAMS
POWERFUL SERMONS DELIVER
ED TO LARGE CoNGREGATiO
AT TABERNACLE LAST NIGHT.

Proud of the Gospel" was the
theme Of DR.. Williams sermon at the
tabernacle last night, based on ROM
ans 1:16. Some people seem to think
that the Gospel has lost its force to-
day. This however is very narrow,
superficial view. The writer of the
text was one of the most richly en-
dowed men in the history of the
world. He was great every way in
character and most literally eGu-
Gated. He was a scholar, philosopher,
theologian, religionist, church Off
cial of the highest rank and a great
missionary. Both as a Jew and a
Christian he was intensely aggres-
siye and practical. For him to change
from his ancestral faith to that of the
despised Nazarine was the most amaz-
ing thing to his friends and cOrelig-
ionists. Likewise the disciples of
the new faith wondered at his trans
formation, were suspicious of his CON
version and were looking for some
new ruse on his part to catch them
But his conduct proved him to be
sincere in defending the way he once
prosecuted. He suffered the loss Of
all things and endcared countless
hardships and prosecutions. People

all the prospects that he enjoyed as
member of the Sanhedrim, a most
brilliant future, sacrifice all his pos
sessions and friends and to devote
his peerless abilities to such a cause
as preaching the Gospel" But he
proudly replied, 81 am not ashamed
of the Gospel" Then they demanded
of him that he show cause why he
was not ashamed. He replied that
at is the power of God unto Saliva
ton to every one that believeth.'
Men are asking the same question
today and they have a right to do so.
We must answer. We muSt show
cause why, and this we do by show
ing what the gospel has done in the
past, what it is doing now, and what
it promises to do in the future. The
world had never seen or heard any
thing like the matter, manner or mo-
tive of the gospel before ii came.

were cruel. An eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth, was the standard
when Jesus came. An oppressive
phariseeism was the prevailing type
of religion when he began to preach.
But he uttered a new gospel of love
and mercy, the forgiveness of our
sins through the grace of or Cod.

portunity was the spirit of the new
message This was the highest teach
ing and practice even known. Bear
one anothers burdens and so fulfill
the law of Christ, was the rule OF
his kingdom. To emphasize this
teaching Christ told his Jewish hear
ers that Despised Samaritan pick
ed up the injured Jew and took care
of him after the priest and Levite
had passed him by on the dangerous
highway. The practice of this teach
ing would make this world good
