What Will You Do With JesusT
was the theme of the sermon on Sun.
day morning by DR.. Brewster of Port
land who is general supervisor oil
nine hundred Sunday schools of Maine
DR.. Brewster chose for his text "His
Name Shall Be Called Wonderful" and
showed how wonderful was the ORR
gin, the life and the death of Christ
saying that people sometimes do not
care for Christ because of the mystery
concerning Him. but that without this
mystery there could be no reverence.
The study of the stars is mysterious
but Columbus was guided by them to
a new world even as sailors of the
present day can not understand their
mystery and wonder but are guided by
Them. But the greatest of all Won
ders is Christ because His love cir
Giles the world and His power greater
than any other. This inspiring mes
sage of DR.. Brewster will linger long
in the minds of the good sized au-
dience who listened to him.
