at thai church.
At THE FIRST BAPTIST
Rev. L. E. Roberts took for his
text for last nights sermon the in
cident of the rich young man who
came to Christ with the enquiry
"What shall I do to inherit eternal
life. The scripture account shows
that he was a model young man,
moral, obedient to parents, an OBJ
server of the Sabbath and in fact of
all the requirements of the decologue
and yet he realized that there was
something lacking in his life and he
sought to ascertain what something
was. He was manifestly sincere, and
yet faced with truth as Christ barred
it to him in statement that he must
sell all of his property and distri-
butte to the poor if he would have
eternal life he was unwilling to pay
the price, and went away "sorrowfQi.' >
DR. Roberts brought most forceabiy
to his audience the lessons to be
learned from this story, SO human in
its conception, and having its coun-
terpart all down the ages, and par
ticularly the main point that every
person wlto would live and die ~
cording to the standards of Christ
must be wiling to pay the price,
whatever it must be, to get that
something" for which this young
man ye9rned. If you belong to an
army you must obey the comman-
der else you will be stripped of the
insignia of the soldier, and the fact
that you differ with your superior
and have substituted for his rule one
of your own that you are sure is bet
ter will avail you nothing. The most
exquisite china has been purified by
the fires e the crucible, and we
mortals can My be cleansed of the
dress Of :. n and error by the bap-
tism of III, apirit--tilc divine fire
that purifics and we must yield our
wills to His y Il and be ''obedient un-
to the heavenly Visions
