CHRISTIANITY IS
FOLLOWING CHRIST
Rev. Charles A. LippinCott
Deals With st. PauI'S Con-
CeptiOn of Salvation.

salvation is sometimes preached
as being a sort Of fire escape by
means Of which men can go through
the world believing IN some great
name and continuing in sin and then
be relieved Of punishment" declar-
ed Rev. Charles A. LippincOtt at the
First Presbyterian church Sunday
night. His sermon dealt largely
with 81. PauTs conception of saliva
ton which the pastor declared not
10 be an outward faith and belief but
an inward feeling and realization Of
real salvation.
Salvation is Gods greatest gift
10 man." asserted Rev Lippincott
Some men believe that they can in
dulge in sin and then be delivered
through belief i'm a name There
are men who are mean enough to
continue in the enjoyment of evil
and then believe they will escape
their dues. This is not the saliva
ton that Christ thought of or the
saliva ION that Paul thought of as he
made his way through the world.
This was not the sort Of salvation
that Paul believed as he wrote his
great letters for st Paul did not
think such salvation was worthy Of
his life. If this were the only kind
Of salvation l can't believe for a min
ute that Paul would have suffered
the trials he underwent. to offer it
TO the world. Realize how mean and
contemplate il would be 10 use such
"A method of reaching the fire escape
from evil.
Willing to Sacrifice.
God offers a salvation which viii
bring into their lives that power
which will take away the motive for
evil. St Paul had a passion for
righteousness and he got the idea
of salvation by striving for the
crown of manhood He was willing
To sacrifice everything TO get the
righteousness of Jesus.
There are men who can keep
the laws externally but who are evil
internally. They observe the law
but ia their hearts they are cruel.
narrow and prosecuting. saul OF
TarSuS had the wrong conception OF
salvation when he went down the
roads threatening and prosecuting
those who did not believe in Christi
anity and did it all in the name Of
God. He did not have the spirit of
Jesus Christ. But Christ gave him
a new vision of life and the power to
live it through the kind of salvation
that He revealed. 1t was not by
cruel methods but came from the
greatest God of all. the God of love.
Faith is merely means Of taking
that which God gives. God is not
arbitrary as some say Faith is our
way Of approach to God. There
isn't any mystery about Christianity.
1t is but a simple process of follow
ing in the footsteps of Jesus Christ"

True Christians must never he

church last evening. That Chris
tianity will grow stronger as its fol-
lowers realize this truth more fully
was his assertion as he pointed out
the expressed faith of st. Paul which
proved the apostles earnestness.
During the services cards were
passed among the congregation
promising consistent attendance dur

of the audience signed the cards and
others testified sincerity in other

The Man Who Was Not Ashamed
of Christ" was the text of the ser
mon, taken from Romans 1:16-"I
am not ashamed of the gospel of
Jesus Christ for it is the power of
God unto salvation TO everyone that
beheveth."
Were Bold Words.
What bold and brave words are
these" said DR.. Gardiner in referring
TO st. PauFs assertion. How they
must have thrilled the minds of
those TO whom they were written.
Even today, after the lapse of nearly
10 centuries, they move US, as we
read them, from the very center to
the circumference of our being
1T is, however. impossible for us
to fully appreciate how they must
have sounded TO those who lived in
the trying and stirring times of the
first century. We must remember
that these words were first uttered
i'm a time when Christianity was a
byword and a Kissing They were
uttered in an age when Jesus Christ
our Lord was regarded by the multi
tudes as a common felon and as one
who had suffered a just penalty for
His crimes They were uttered be-
fore the religion of Jesus Christ was
recognized by those in authority as
the power of God unto salvation.
ITO appreciate these words we
must know something of the man
who wrote them They were first
penned by the great apostle Paul TO
the church in the city of Rome. They
were written by the man VINO from
the first time he saw Jesus was never
ashamed of the gospel of the Son Of
God. We know that rather than be
untrue to the gospel. rather than be
false to the light of Jesus Christ.
that Paul gladly suffered martyrdOm
in the imperial city. He who wrote
these marvellous words to the church
in Rome also wrote as ne faced
death. L am now ready to be offer

]. S. Knight Jr.. editor. and Samuel A.
Dougherty. owner, of the Sunday Transcript,
alleged libelers of Police Captain Nicholas
Kenny and Policeman John Bigger OF the
Third street and Farmount avenue station
house, surrendered today.
Warrants had been out for the men ever
since the Sunday following the big vice
raid in July. The warrants alleged libel
for publication of story of the raid, in
which the police captain and the patrolman
were accused of grating
Knight and Dougherty waived hear
ing and were held in $1,000 bail for court
by Magistrate Beaton. The Fidelity Trust
and Safe Deposit Company furnished the
security. The case now goes to Common
Pleas
Benjamin Colder, of the office of John c.
Bell, attorney for the Transcript men, was
asked why they decided to give themselves
up and said he couldn't tell. He had just
been brought into the case, he said, and did
nothing more than tell the Magistrate the
men would waive the hearing, and he ex-
pected to do nothing more until the case
comes up in court. The men had arranged
for the bail themselves, he said.
The men accused had nothing to say"
Mr.. Colder last night telephoned William
A. Gray, counsel for the policemen, that
he was ready to bring knight and
Dougherty into court, and they fixed the
hearing for this morning.
Mr.. Gray said the reason the men sur
rendered was because they learned we
were close on their trail"
Asked what the outcome of the case would
be, he said, THE men would undoubtedly
go to jail unless they printed a retraction.'
