cup pass fro mmc, nevertheless,
nat as I will, but as Thou wilt"
The statement at IL was that of
absorption in the Fathers BUSH
ness, and the statement at SO in
the garden was that Of submission
to the Fathers will.
The second picture was taken
from John 3. and the scene was
laid in the modest room in Jerusa-
lem, where two strong men faced
each other-one representing the
new and the other representing the
old order. In their conversation
there was no letting down OF the
bars. no easy way provided for
getting into Gods kingdom. Nico-
demus had come to Jesus after
night, when nobody could see him,
and questioned him about the en-
trance requirements. II may have
been that Jesus was fattered by
the interest OF this rich man, but
his words were abruptly to the
point:
Except a man be born again he
cannot enter into my kingdom Z"
There was no letting down Of the
bars, no side entrance, no way but
the right way to enter into Gods
favor. Here, we have Jesus as the
incorporating defender OF truth,
DR.. Broomfeld said.
Moving into tho fourth chapter
Of John, DR.. Broomfleld cited the
third picture. In this picture the
lowest and the highest, the best
and the Wrist. meet at Jacobs we'll.
Even when so widely separated, as
the world judges, they had some
things in cormon-th.rst, and a
common need-water. ON this
common ground they met, and
Jesus gavo to this woman Of Ill
rapute the best he had. To her he
revealsSwhat he did not tell Nico-
demus, He said to her: II am
the Messiah" No one had ever
heard him say this before and
now he gave the news to this fallen
womn first. Why? Because he
knew that the blacklist coal and
the purest diamond are madeSo of
exactly the. same material; the
only difference Is in the arrange
ment Of the atoms. Here Jesus is
revealed as sacrificing, efficient,
shrewd. personal worker.
The fourth picture Is laid in
Pilates hall on the occasion Of the
trial Of Jesus. Describing the
feeble attempts OF PLATE to abb
solve himself from guilt in con-
nection with the death Of Jesus, as
exhibited in the washing OF his
hands, DR.. Broomfield saih that a
thousand Niagaras, flowing a mil
lion years, could not wash away
the stain that twenty centuries
have fastened upon that man. In
this picture Christ is described as
the immovable rock OF conscious
integrity, amid tho dangers and
temptations o fthe times.
The last picture Is set forth in
Jug I9Akf o6nOlh Lu6 A4Atlul OI
God" This picture gives to The
Eother four yhat the thumb gives
to the hans, efficiency, DR.. Broom
field said.
With an earnest appeal for the
congregation to check themselves
against the four pictures of Jesus
In an effort to discover their weak
points, DR.. Broomfield closed his
srman with an imprisoned call for
al to take advantage OF the sacri-
fetal labors Of Jesus and plant
their. feet firmly on the highway OF
holiness. A number came. for
ward IN response TO the invitation.
That part Of the service prior
to the sermon proper last night
was exceptionally fine. G. =. Bon
ney fairly outdid himself in The
selection and handling Of the NUM-
erous songs sung last night and his
solo, THE Old Rugged Gross, q was
rendered very effectively. Mrs
Minor Dunham's organ recital was
also well received and helped put
