CHRISTMAS SHOULD BE| SET APART AS DAY OFF WORSHIP--DR STUART.

Sunday morning at the First Meth odist church pr. George R. Stuart spoke on "The Annual Betrayal of Jesus" using as his text Luke 22:4S: But Jesus said unto him. Judas, be- trayest thou the Son of man with a kiss" Dr. Stuart spoke substantially as follows
 "Every mean thing that was done to Jesus while He was on earth was done by his alleged friends. His own home church persecuted Him--Ju- das, one of His apostles, betrayed Him-Peter. his close friend denied Him and His own brethren cruclfied Him.
 Jesus had seven great events in His life His birth. His baptism, His temptation, His transflguration. His crueifixion, His resurrection. and His ascension. We celebrate only three of these great events, His death, resurrection and birth. The church has succeeded in keeping undefiled the celebration of the holy commu- nion. We celebrate with more or less reverence the occasion of His resur- rection on Easter Day. but the world has almost wholly taken the occasion of His birth and debauched 1t with revelry and devilment.
 "Christmas is not the worlds holi- day, It IS GO0S blessed udy anu on it He expects us to worship Him. But instead of doing this so many people turn it into day of question able frolic Today the devil works through the church members in doing a great deal of his work. A back slidden church is the greatest enemy of Jesus Christ.
 Jesus tChrist, while He was on earth had seven enemies. viz: The priests, the scribes, the doctors, the pharisees, the sadducees, Peter and Judas. Today we have many persons and institutions that try to cover up their meanness by the slimy Judas kiss.
 Our Lord has seven great en- cmies in the world today. They are alcohol, immoral shows, immoral houses, nocturnal automobiles, the dance. the spot card and corrupt lit- erature. If these things could be done away with the kingdom of God would be established on earth in three years. And strange to say the church-I mean a great many church members support these. If you pull the church members out of these things they would cease to exist"
