Rev. John Moore of New Haven, Conn.,.
preached as candidate for the new Feb
Grated church of Belfast at its regular
service last Sunday forenoon. There
was large attendance of both former
churches and number from the other
churches present. Mr.. Moore took for
his subject '"rhe Ascending Life" and
based his thoughts on the thirteenth verse
of the third chapter of St. John. 1t was
a very strong discourse and held the
closest attention of his audience from
first to last. 1t dealt with the external
ism current among men, the invisible but
real in every life, winning the goal of
spirituality, character building as a hui
man achievement with Gods assistance.
He emphasized two facts ''where Christ
placed himself one with all" and the
present "danger of losing the real Jesus. "
All who would walk the ascending way
must be born again even as Christ came
from God and returned to him. He is a
firm believer in an active every day
Christian life urging his hearers to push
on, push forward and push up. His illus
tratlons were most appropriate and vivid.
