First Sermon Here

working upon the soul life of the
disciple. This is to give loyalty
to Christ and to become chris
tian.
at is the every day life that
builds up our christian character.
If we do justly, love mercy, and
walk humbly before the Lord and
God in the spirit and disposition
of Jesus, and thereby overcome
the daily annoyanccs, we grow
strong and heroic, and are en-
abled to cheerfully do and bear,
and if need be, to suffer.
at is such service as this that
exerts lasting influence in the
world and the community where
we live. 1t is this that tests the
value of religion and proves that
it is a pure life and not mere pro-
fession.
Everyday we live gives US OPP
portunities to make the religion
we profess practical in daily life,
whether our duties be what the
world counts humble, or whether.
we occupy positions that mon
count of authority, responsibility
or public trust.
"a special opportunity rise
every morning to meet the follow
er of the Christ, and it has never
been put in clearer words than
those of John Wesley;
DO all the good you can.
By all the means you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
"This kind of service will re-
new and enlarge the hearts Of
men and women. 1t will redeem
the church, fill it with new life
and vigor, and save the world to
the world to the righteousness
and spirit and disposition of Jesus
Christ.
Each person can help the
coming of the glad dav when The
kingdoms, and communities and
peoples of the world shall be
those of God and His Christ, and
may these words voice the sincere
desire of our hearts:
90 Master, let me walk with
Thee,
In lowly paths of service free.
