able SERMON
DELIVERED BY
REV. ]. F. BELL

The sermon delivered by Dr.. j. +.
Bell, pastor of First Methodist church,
yesterday morning is deserving Of
more than passing notice, 1t was
a gem of the first water and those
who were fortunate enough to be
present will remember and treasure
it for days to come.
His theme as announced in the
Telegram Saturday was "Vicarious
Living, or the Principle of Self Civ
ing" and the preacher showed in the
simplest and yet most eloquent way
how the doctrine of vicarious living
is emphasized in nature, science, the
domestic circle and greatest of all in
the life and death of Christ, who,
while saving others Himself he could
not save
The great luminary Of day that
shines down upon the earth from his
place in the heavens more than ninety
million miles away, bringing light and
warmth and joy and gladness to the
earth and its inhabitants, is but q
star, the scientists tell us, that Ii
year after year burning itself out that
il may perform its great mission tC
| the people of the earth; and one day
t will cease to shine having spent it'
force In its ministry to others.
Science tells us how the mountains
and the hills contribute of them
elves to the valleys beneath them
.. riching them by the constant
stream of their offerings by day ant
by night. At the mouth of the grea
Mississippi river where it flows into
tie majestic Gulf of Mexico there Il
an immense accumulation of silt GOV
ering space of multiplied acres to {
depth of 1000 feet, the hills and th'
valleys and the rivers tributary t
the Mississippi all combining with thu
great stream in giving of themselves
to produce this.
