Brief Account Of Sermons
 Preached ot Local Churches

the world stands in need of, preached on topic that absorbs the attention of every thinking man and woman of today.
 He said in part:
 Our text introduces us to one of the greatest characters in the gospel story, man in his day who was a middle man, a conscientios objector. In relation to Jesus he found himself un- ciples of the Master or with his own crowd, the rulers who condemned Him to death.
 He could not follow the multitude, blind to facts, for he loved Jesus pro- foundly and believed in His teachings an6 the aim of His kingdom.
 'On the other hand Joseph of Arith- pIethea was different from the other disciples. They were poor, he was rich. They acclaimed against lawyers and Pharisees. He was a lawyer and a Pharisee. He shared none of theii false hopes, and their absurd belief in these hopes repelled him. He could not throw in his lot with them. The dis cirles were truly religious, acting from their own highest motives and principles. But they were narrow and egotistical.
 Was he a better and bigger man than Peter and John and the rest? would not say. But because he was more enlightened and better educated, he was prepared in advance for the crcss, while their faith was for a time shattered. It seems to me that Joseph above all the followers of Jesus un- derstood Him before the crucifixion, and knew he would have chance to prove his loyalty and love, which he did.
 This man who was looking for the kingdom of God is a splendid model fer you and me today. I see the work ing of a process of social gravitation that is dividing our people into two hostile and irreconciliable camps. One contains the masses of the common people and the intellectuals, who by their sympathies are driven to their banner. The other contains the classes of privilege and power and all who are naturally conservative. The extrem- ists in both camps are in control and the movement of separation goes on apace.
 'The significant thing is that it is the ideals of Jesus that is causing the unrest. They all claim Him as their leader and want to make Him king.
 Joseph did not let the illusions of the disciples. their blindness and blum uerS XII ms love Tor the Master or ms faith in the great things for which Jesus stood any more than he permit ted the prejudices and interests of his own class pervert his conscience. He thought out for himself what loyalty to Christ demanded of him in that per picking crisis and obeyed it with su- perb courage.
 Make Christ the sovereign of your scul, and you will be saved from the follies of ignorant followers of Him and crimes of His enemies, and. like Joseph, 1t will be given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom''
