SUNDAY MORNING SERMON

Master, would see a sign from thee"-Mat I2:ss
 These scribes and pharisees that asked for sgn the apostles followed Master of HiI and the faith they had in Him and His word. Too man of us look for sign before will believe We want guaranty before will venture anything.
 This old world is full of men who will do any thing unless sign be blazoned the heavens The sit in and sheltered places and scoff who forth by steep paths aad sunken ways and stormy waters and then when these come back witt the rewards that their hardihood and daring have the tmid ones and the cautious rail in voic at the partiality of fortune.
 There no sign of sure success except that whici the hope and courage of places before spur No cross, The apples of gold ant the laurel up the heights. And the wa, that leads to them is steep and with rocks beset with dangers and fenced in with shadows There is handran along this path steps cut in the hill And no where along the route will you find signpos pointing the way. You must take chance. You must depend upon your knowledge instinct efforts
 The best things of the world hgh and the great things higher still There is always price pay There is always risk Doubt is the dragon that bars the way. Suffering selfdenial you meet farther Never down grade anywhere along the way. Never rift in the veil that hides the future from your eyes.
 But the brave heart presses The resoute and the daring push boldly up this path. And those who reached the goal had the high hope the dawn their eyes constantly looking upward their flushed by the beating of the wind the high places.
 Give a sign; will not without a sign. But there is sign. Never word token. You must move without it sink into obscurity for The with the acklustre and the sad long face and the stumbling feet is the who is waiting sign
 An, if only had miracles today like the prophets had of old you say, then would be easy believe; h would be easy great things suffer like Paul and die like Peter Take heart then, friend for miracles all you you would only raise your eyes them The sunshine shadow the mountainside miracle The flower that forth among the rocks after the summer rains is mir acle also, and great a Paul his way to Damascus.
 The troubel is, afraid. We like too we'll It is hot there in the glare of the sun and we crouch like mushrooms in sheltered spot. We afraid the arid plains thus is build no fair cities the hills beyond It is dark and dan gerous in the clefs and thus it is that timd hearts and idle hands find mines to make us rich It hard to study by the midnight lamp and thus that inspire throng with words that burn pr write message that will live after gone.
 In many of the little things of daily life ask Tor sign. We fret and falter and tumble We wait, and then wonder why opportunity does not splinter the panels of door, We complain about lot iu- stead of striving improve condition We wait ing for ship to come in We waiting for in neritance fairy queen. shower from the skies.
 Hardships appall us economy frets us uncertainty rightens us, danger daunts And like the phari sees ask for sign before act before believe. But Peter followed Gallean without sign After wards he had many but in the beginning he had He followed his Master the Roman arena followed Him to the cross; followed him to heaven And he stands this humble and obscure fisherman, the immor and glorious figure the keeper of the Golden Gates And the Pharisees who asked for sign? They 'onored, unknown and unsung; mere huddle of people ised as whole to form miserable with great Iced and great Their nameless shadows still wander through the spirit land waiting for sign.
