PASTOR HAS AUTHORITY
IN SPIRITUAL MATTERS

The Duties OF the Church Mem
her Toward the Pastor" was the
subject of the sermon by Rev. II.
HOLE. pastor of st. PauTs German
Lutheran church. Sunday morning.
Rev. HOLE first of all explained
that the authority OF the pastor eX-
tended only over spiritual matters
and that in temporal affairs his
voice has no more authority than
that of other men. He then went
on 10 show in what matters the
pastor should have the respect and
obedience OF his cOnSregat on,
pointing out that he was the spok es
man OF God in matters OF faith and
morals and in directing the people
along the lines OF right social and
religious conduct.
The speaker also emphasized the
obstacles placed in the way OF the
pastors work by the people when
they fail To obey him in spiritual
matters and pointed out the grave
possibilities OF the clergyman in
dealing with his flock If the peo-
pie despise the word OF God IL will
be taken away from them, he con-

The ultimate goal OF the race is

FORMAL RELIGION
IS VERY HOLLOW
Rev. James |. Gardiner Says
Christianity is Love for
God and Humans.

I'm the parable OF the good Sa-
maritan we learn the utter hollow
ness of formal religion. no matter
what that religion may be. If il has
not the spirit OF Jesus Christ. We
learn Christianity means love for
humans as well as love for the di-
vine. We learn that unless our re-
ligiOn has the milk OF human kind
ness and mercy IL is not the religion
of Him who said i came not 10 be
served but to serve So said Rev.
James l.. Gardiner, ID. D.. pastor of
St Poul's NJ. r. church, in conclud-
ing his sermon Sunday night in
which he expounded the well known
parable OF The Good Samaritan"
In part DR.. Gardiner said:
The story OF which our text
forms a part is one of the most in
tererting TO be found anywhere in
the New Testament. It is a story
which for depth of feeling and in
tensity of interest has never been
surpassed save by the matcheless
parable Of the prOdigal son.
"A lawyer came TO Jesus and pro-
pounded the important question,
What shall 1 do to inherit eternal
life?' Jesus answered, Thou shalt
love the Lord. thy God. with all thy
heart and thy neighbor as myself.
Jesus hereby summed up the Chris
tan religion in two livingstone for
God and love for man.
But the lawyer was not satisfied.
It is not always an easy matter to
satisfy lawyers in civil or ecclesiac-
teal courts. The narrative says,
But he is willing to justify himself.
How much time and strength many
people spend in this exercise-trying
TO justify themselves. No matter
what kind of a life they lead they
try TO Justify themselves. No mat
ter what their character or conduct
may be they are ready to defend it.

WITH THE LOCAL PASTORS
CONFIDENCE IN GOD
0VERC0MES BLINDNESS
Christ il Way Between Man and
God. Rev. ByTsr Says
i'm Sermon.

Asserting that every man is blind
on some matter and that as men get
older they seem 70 get binder. Rev.
c. r. Byrer. in his sermon at tho
Conference Memorial church sun
day, urged his hearers to overcome
this blindness by a more complete
confidence in Coo. The sermon was
taken from the words Of Christ to
Thomas in reproving the apostles
blindness. Il Am the Way, and the
Truth. and the Life" The passage
was explained in detail
Christ is the way" said the
speaker, because he bridges the
chasm between God and man by His
incarnation. A way is a path be-
tween two points. In this instance.
man is one point and God is the 9th
er. Man is on earth an God is in
heaven: Christ is the way between.
If we travel along that way we will
reach heaven"
Christ is also the truth. You say
you do not know what 10 believe.
Believe in Christ. He is the proof
and the guarantee Of His correct
ness. He is the full and the perfect
truth and if we follow His precepts
we need not be concerned about
other doctrines outside Of Him.
1T is only after we are in the way
and have received the truth that
Christ becomes Life TO Us. This is
what we are in constant need OF -
life in the sense of power. Spiritual
contact with Christ is power"

IS DOING
OF GOD s WILL
Any Man May Learn Truth if
He Will Pay, Says
Pastor.

Learning the truth is like learn
ing 10 swim. IL can never be known
by sitting on the bank ard wishing
10 know how. Anyone may know the
truth if he is willing to pay the
price. The price is the doing Of
the will of God" These were two
OF the striking conclusions drawn
by Rev. &. a. Decker, pastor of the
First Baptist church, in his sermon
Sunday on Willing. Knowing, Do
ing" which was taken from the
words of Jesus: IF any man will
do his will. ne shall know the doc
trine. whether it be of God, or
whether / speak of Myself"
Rev. Decker said in part:
THE moral attitude of a person
will effect his views of God and
truth. Singleness of desire TO please
God is the condition upon which
light is let on all the problems that
have to do with our spiritual lives.
And the want of this is the chief
barrier against the light of religion.
An infidel is not competent TO pass
Judgment upon religious matters.
He is incapacitated for this by his
very attitude toward il. His con-
illusions are of no value because he
has not followed the only road that
leads To right conclusions.
Learning the truth is like learn
ing to swim. II can never be dore
by sitting on the bank and wishing
to know how. u can't learn TO
swim without willing and doing. All
practical knowledge is experiment
tai. Every theory must be verified
by willingsand doing. There is no
knowledge without this. Columbus
had his beliefs, but they were mere
theories until he willed TO do that
which verified them. IL was then
that he discovered more than he
had ever dreamed All that Chris
tianity asks of any man who would
know the truth is willingness to
follow the line of evidence marked
cut Just an honest doing of duty
as God reveals il The result is the
knowledge of the truth"

EXERCISE OF VIRTUE
Is NECESSARY TO MAN
Capt. Nehemiah BroOkes Points Out
Temporal Benefits to be Deriv-
ell From Good Life.

Declaring that the exercise Of vir-
tue is as necessary 10 attain any
degree Of Goodness as the exercise
OF the mind or muscles Is necessary
10 attain any kind OF mental or
physical proficiency. Capt Nehe-
miah Brookes in his sunday lecture
which was one OF a series that he is
giving at the Salvation Army head
quarters. explained the profitable
ness OF Goodness both from a
natural and a supernatural stand
point
The Goodness OF the early
apostles was the greatest power for
good the world has ever known.
declared Capt Brookes in speaking
OF the sanctity Of the fathers Of the
early church.
He emphasized I'm particular in
the talk the immediate temporal
benefits TO be derived from a good
life especially in the way Of peace
or mind and cOntentment in spite Of
