MORGAN SERVICES
BEGAN YESTERDAY
Learned Theologian Delights
Large Audience in the Meth
odist Church Afternoon and
Evening. Righteousness and
Repentance the Subjects Yes
terday.

DR.. G. Campbell Morgan one of the
most profound theologians of this
century who is here to conduct a FIVE
days meeting in the Methodist church,
both at three O'Clock and in the even
ing each day spoke to a crowded
house both yesterday afternoon and
lat night.
In the afternoon DR.. Morgan select
ed as his text the words of the Saw
Iiour in answer to John who demurred
at baptizing the Lord. Suffer it to be
so now. for thus it becometh US to
fulfill all righteousness"
sions when he saw the Lord were
very interesting. The wonderful
personality of the Saviour not only
marked his divinity, but in his face
John had been preaching the doc
trine of repentance, and calling men
to turn from their sins and follow
the Christ, but here was a man who
knew no sin, and so John said to
him, have need to be baptized of
thee" Then the answer of the Saw
iour.
DR.. Morgan explained the meaning
of the word Righteousness. This word
said he is a corrupted word as many
| of the words in the English langu-
age. Originally it was right wise, and
| this is it's true meaning. To do those
things which are wise and right in
the sight of God. Righteousness is
| the adjustment of a mans life to
| God, and social Righteousness is the
articulation of one man with another.
When our lives are attuned with the
Lords, then we are in harmony with
each other, and so everything is
based upon and is dependent upon
our relationship with God.
The trouble with men and women
is that they put other things of the
earth in the place of God and ahead
of Him, when other things should be
subOrdinated to spiritual things
Seek ye first the kingdom of God"
and all things else will follow as
mater of course.
| Men and women place their houses
their business, their clothes and their
motor car ahead of the church, and
| the things of God. These are good in
their place, but they do not weigh
:iih God, when they are paramount
10 every thing else.
righteousness is the secret of
peace and joy. So important was it
that the Saviour gave his life that
it might be the crowning desire of
mankind and his eternal salvation.
DR.. Morgan referred to the coming
disarmament conference at Washing
ton. Why will it not be a success, he
!asked? Because every nation will be
iown advantage rather than the world.
tChrist made a sacrifice of himself for
the world. He did not so count the
cost or the pain. He came to do the
will of His Father which was to save
the world from ignorance, sin and
selfishness. During this conference
the church of God should get on its
knees and pray God that he may
send His holy spirit into the hearts
of the men in that conference, and
make them forget self and remember
the people as a whole, and the ex
ample of the Saviour who gave his
life for many.
Christ believed that man could bs
adjusted to God, otherwise His com
ing would have been failure.
DR.. Morgan spoke of the work o
h the church. 1t had accomplished
much but there was great work t,
be done, and never before were th
responsibilities facing the church a
g today. He said the church had beel
q taking men from the scrap heap an,
q making christians of them by tn
e grace of God.
y He spoke of the spirit of sacrifice
a Men must learn to give up in orde
Ito accomplish great things. 1t wa
s SO with Christ, it is so with ever
d one. Through sacrifice is righteous
d ness fulfilled.
Both Moses and Paul asked to b
accursed that the people might b
saved.
