CHURCH
FAILS IN PURPOSE
Christian Church Pastor Puts
Punch Into His
Sermon.

In his sermon in the First Chris
tian church Sunday morning, Rev.
@. w Titus spoke or The Efficiency
OF the Church" His theme was bas-
ed upon the incident of Jesus heal
ing the palsied man borne of four,
which story is found in the second
chapter of Mark. The efficient
church" he said. must not stand
too rigidly upon custom. These four
men did not stop 10 think of the
way 10 get their friend TO Jesus.
Frustrated in one plan they thought
Of another and finally shocked the
custom mOnger by lowering him
through the roof. What's the differ
ence whether a man comes by the
penitent bench. or mourner's bench.
TO the front Of the church, crying,
laughing. or any other way? The
thing 10 do is TO get him there.
Jesus Christ has what he needs, and
no delay is juttiied.
The Efficient Church.
I'VE hear much about the efficient
church of today. but il is my judg
ment that we are not reaching the
great masses of people in our mod
ern cities Of today IL is an alarm
ing fact that we have been unable
TO interest the multitudes of men
with our methods of the past. Some
thing must be done. To do this we
need an efficient church. But what
is meant by an efficient church, The
very basis OF such a church may be
found in the march of Jesus. We are
begging and pleading for crowds at
our various services, and we have
resorted 10 all kinds of pet schemes.
fads and fancies to draw the crowds
into the church. These all fail sooner
or later; and the only way is found
in the story before US. The crowds
surrounded the house that day be-
cause Jesus was there He was heal
ing, teaching and spreading JOY and
gladness. The best way today to fill
the church is TO have il noised
abroad that Jesus Christ is in the
church working on the lives of his
followers. Rich carpets, pipe organs.
fine choirs. they have their place, but
failure meets the church that de-
ponds upon these. A poor sinner won
TO a higher life speaks longer and
louder than all these.
The Jesus preaching that day got
the people 10 do something. The
efficient church needs that kind of
preaching today. Too much time is
wasted telling of the golden sunsets,
babbling brooks, etc, when the hun
cry soul needs the Gospel. old yet
ever sweet story Of a Saviour that
can save from sin. More of this kind
of preaching and the kingdom Of
God will be felt in the hearts of
men"

SUCCESS REQUIRES
CONSTANT ATTENTION
Rev. DR.. Burnett breaches on
Theme of "look-
ing Back"

Looking Back" was the theme Of
the sermon delivered by the Rev.
Or. j. A. Burnett. pastor Of the First
Presbyterian church. sunday morn
ing. His text was from Luke 1862:
no man having put his hand to the
pillow. and looking back. is fit for the
kingdom OF God" In the course Of
an able discourse, the speaker said:
Here is a universal principle:
Success in any endeavor requires
constant attention and application.
We cannot pillow a straight furrOw by
looking back Two men made d
great profession of willingness TO
follow Christ. but they we're not
ready TO do 50 because their thought
and love were divided. In each case
there was the apparently sincere re-
solve, but there was the backward
look
Lord. l will follow Thee: but
and the echo of these excuses has
been intensified by the answers OF
men in every age 10 the demands of
Christ. So clear. indeed, has be-
come the voice which makes the an
swer that it is no longer an echo.
We do not respect these men;
we would not tolerate them in our
business life for a moment. yet in
religious things we tolerate and
practice that which we condemn in
them.
Honesty the Dominant Note.
I'VE. as Christians, must keep our
eyes straight ahead that We may
show our sincerity. Honesty is the
dominant note in the expression of
| Christianity. To be less than hon
est is TO be so much less than a man.
| The world knows and judges our re-
/ ligion by what they see Of il in us.
To be half hearted and indifferent
is 70 leave men without a true con-
7 ceptiOn of our life.
Effective work demands a life
centered upon some definite objec-
tive. If we do not believe in our
task: if we are not absorbed in il,
there is little hope OF great results
from our efforts.
Our fitness for higher service is
revealed in attention TO present
duty. Promotion is in the line of
fitness and efficiency. A lack Of in
terest; undue attention 70 secondary
matters; a compromising attitude; a
nominal activity, these are the
things condemned by Christians;
these the things which show our
unhtness for the Kingdom of God.
1--WE cannot let the tasks of life
drop out of our hands. not even for
moment. We must finish the
work before the end Of the day,
and there is no time to lose Moth
ing will excuse us for failure, for
duties omitted. for life's work un-
finished"
