SERMON ON COMMAND
TO BUILD TEMPLE

St Anne's Church was filled yes
terday morning upon the occasion OF
the annual visit of the Bishop of the
Diocese. RI. Rev. Or. John G. Muir
ray. The Bishop confirmed thirty
eight persons presented by the rector,
Dr Edward d. Johnson
To them Bishop Murray made spe-
cial address before his sermon. Civ
ing them as a Motto the alliterative
words Prayer. Perseverance, Prog
reSs. Perfection" With each part OF
this motto he gave simple and help
ful advice that will long be remem-
bered by the candidates.
His sermon was based upon the
command to Solomon to build Tenn
pie for the Lord. Viewing all relig-
ious and faithful people, living or de-
parted. as a family household. he
found in the incidents recorded in the
First Book OF Kings much of present
interest. Especially in the request of
Solomon. give thy servant an un-
derstanding heart" is there a prayer
suitable for all time
Chosen Like Solomon
He said in part: Solomon was no
more chosen than are we. His work
was no more necessary than is ours.
Also, God lays upon us no respon-
sibility without giving us the power
To exercise IT, How then are we TO
get the equipment. understanding and
knowledge 10 discharge our RESPONSE
bility?
First of all. by the study OF Gods
Word The numerous modern cults
either disregard the written record Of
Gods Revelation; or they Nck and
choose, here and there. passages that
fit in with their own faulty ideas. We
all have to meet God; so we respond
TO His invitation to reason together"
to prepare us for that meeting
Public Worship Necessary
Secondly gathering together in
Worship is necessary to build up re-
ligious life. We can experience its
value. We know Christ is present
with us as we assemble in His Name.
Last of all. Work together for
religious end is necessary. Thus we
aim at a common object, the greatest
in the world. The first result is an
increased mutual knowledge and sym
pathy on the part OF fellow workers
in Gods Cause Not as individuals,
but as workers together with Him"
can we do our part
Seek ye first the Kingdom OF God"
in use of the Word, in Worship, in
Work. was the Bishops closing word
To- the congregation.

"Hark. Hark, My Soul" was very
beautifully rendered. Mrs. Elliott Bur
