 The text last night was taken from John, xii. 42, Nevertheless many of the chiefs and rulers believed in Him, but because the Pharisees, did not con fess, fearing lest they should be put out of the synagogue, for they loved the praises of men Dr. Hart said, in part:
 There were two remarkable charac- 
 towards We love the praise of men more than the praise of God. Jesus was unpopular with the crowd and was ostracized. yet by the common people He was loved and admired. An other crowd had no use for Him. Can ou think of a man of brain and stand ing in the community who is more of q coward than the man who is afraid to confess Christ?
 one remarkable thing about the Bible is the fact that it is a true look ing glass It tells the truth. yet there are thousands who are attempting to ridcule it because it makes them see their sins in all their horror
 Worse Than Crucifiers
 If you study the Bible you will find that those who refuse Christ in the present day and age are worse off in the hereafter than the Jews who cruci- fled Him They did not have the ab solute proof that lie was the Messiah He had not been .csuIrected and proved to the world that He was the Christ indeed, but we nave all these proofs, and yet We refuse Him.
 Tt takes more courage tO be a Chris tian than anything else. Anybody can be grafter, saloon-keeper or q grandmother. Any man who N.ill cut you out of society for becoming d Christian such society ought to die and | would like to preach the funeral sermon. old soldiers had courage enough to fight for their country. but many of them get faint hearts when il comes to accepting Christ. You let a Cody saint go wrong and all the pa rers in the country publish it. Our Christ is snch great Savior and He hath such d great salvation.
 Sin Never BIesses
 Show me one thing that sin has blessed and l will forever close my mouth Christ saves drunkards, fallen women, millionaires. Jerry McAuley. judges and all character of men He has helped dear old mother and will help the boy and grl if given a chance. and death cannot conquer the saint with Christ in the soul Some people say they are morally good. then they ought to be Christians, so that their influence for good may not De lost.
 Tn this Christless, money -srasping, graiting age it takes more grit 10 be Christian than, to be anything else; it is easy to drift with your fellow creatures down stream. for you will be carried along without an effort but t takes character and manhood to go up Here's where the trouble is. Men don't want to Fay the price. They would risk their lives to save a fei - low being in physical danger and those who are brave in material things. many of them are moral cow ards and are afraid of ridicule fl they say no to sin, wickedness and even crime.
 Many of the greatest men in the world have been Christians and these master minds like Blackstone, Stanley Lincoln Harrison and Mckinley hay, not been ashamed Of their faith
