Rev. FreShIey, Speaking on
Gods Call For a Living
Sacrifice" Cites Reason.

Rev. W. TT. Freshley Of the First
Evangelical church spoke Sunday
morning on Gods CaH for "a Living
Sacrifice" He told how the army
Of God is essentially a volunteer
army. Gods soldiers are freemen.
and they do not serve because they
are compelled to serve but because
of the JOY that comes to them in
following God
Rev. Freshley quoted Isaiah. who
said: Here am l. send me-" The
impelline motive behind all Chris
tian service is not fear but love" he
said. Gratitude toward God ought
to be sufficient TO bring every man,
woman and child into His service.

He wants us 10 present our bodies.

having presented them, 10 continue
10 serve Him"
God is not unreasonable said
the minister He asks nothing OF
MS but what Is right and just for
Him TO ask. Apparently it was ask
ing too much TO require Abraham TO
offer up his son 10 God. 1t seemed
incongruOus for God 10 have Joseph
sold into Egyptian bondage but in
the long run il was best for Joseph
and best for Joseph's people Again
it was hard for Moses TO lead the
Jews out of Egypt, but afterwards
it turned out 10 be a blessing for his
followers. Jobs long suffering
might seem 20 be unreasona BILE. but
his patience was eventually the best
thing that could have happened to
him.
"All these examples prove the rea-
soma bleness of God. He is not un-
reasonable. and those who enlist in
His service are not called upon TO
do anything unreasonable. True,
they are required TO live a good.
clean life. but what is there unrea-
sonable about that? Not 20 do the
right thing is unreasonable in it
self. Those who have firmly estab-
lshed themselves i'm the service Of
God. far from finding Him unrea-
sonable. wonder at His reasonable

At the 81. Paul's Methodist Epis-

Rev. DR.. James l.. Gardiner preach

Happiness and Success" pr. Gard

man has striyen after two things

"I look this morning into tho

who are asking this question with a
great deal of concern. Let me an
swer it by saying that the secret
of happiness and success is a four
fold secret.
"In the first place. 7 would re-

great men in 3ll ages OF the world

come into the world a task 10 do.
Every man is CIled upon TO labor
with hand or BRAIN or with both, and
no man can b. truly happy or sue

"I would remark in the second
place that the man who is happy

The man who cultivates the brute

IF YOU would be successful, and be
