DR.. JESSUP breaches
Visiting Clergyman From N. y
Delivers Earnest Sermon
BIBLE TEACHINGS S ME

Telling the congregation at ST.
Anne's that the teachings of the Bible
are the same today az they were nine
cen hundred years ago, the Rev
Charles A. Jessup, rector of St Paul's
Church, Buffalo. n Y, preached ar
earnest sermon yesterday morning al
this church.
Or. Jessup took for his text, Matt
new, tenth chapter. beginning at the
auth verse. Provide neither geld
nor silver. nor brass in your purses
dor scrip for your journey, neither
swo coats. neither shoes, nor ye,
slaves, for the workman is worthy o.
ais meat" The preacher said Chrisf's
ldmoniticn today was the same that il
ever had been. the same as the day He
gave the instruction to His disciple.
Who were going up to Jerusalem
where their journey ended
The church was filled with one o.
he largest congregations ever gather
ed for worship here, and marked at
ention was given throughout DR.. Jes-
sup's scholarly discourse. He sale
these words of the text were a quota
tion, and it is necessary for us tc
know that fact in order to under
stand their present application. A
words already familiar to those whC
heard Christ use themAtheir first ref
erence was the manner of their ap
proach to the Temple of God. They
we're to go not as those who were to
buy or sell. but with the reverence
that befitted the worship of God So
in using these familiar words in con
nection with the mission upon which
Christ was sending His followers, He
urged the same necessity for> rever-
ence in dealing with men that they
were accustomed to associate with
worship.
That suggests the question, are men
worthy of such reverence? The an
sNer to the question can be seen only
in the fact that God loves men. What
God loves is worthy OF our reverence.
We cannot but revere. and therefore
must teach and uplift those who are
dear to God. One dare not degrade.
but on the contrary is bound to try to
help the men and women and especial
ly the little children, whom Christ
came into the world to bring to their
true estate. Humanity is as precious
ore but il takes the trained eye and
mind to know what ore is really pre-
cious, and a trained mind and heart to
know the real possibilities of human
nature.
The speaker used several impress
sive Illustrations to emphasize the
way love can find to put into practice
today Christ's ministry of mercy to
pen.

Single Standard to be Constitutional

Philadelphia, Pa., May 26-Anoth- CT amendment to the federal consti tuition providing single standard of morals for men and wofnen and in- flicting severe penalties for immoral ity, was predicted by Wm. Jennings Bryan in an address before the gen eral assembly of the Presbyterian church in the U. s. A. here today.
 Immortality" said MT. Bryan, "has been >one of the greatest sources of corruption to American life. The time iss ripe to abolish unfair discrimina- tion, and man, if he is to have the commendation of his church, must live up to the standards of morality he has laid down for woman.
 "The time is not far distant when our own constitution will have writ. ten into it single standard of mer- als."
