At Bethesda Baptist Church Sun
day ae II A. N. Rev. w. z. Wad-
lington selected his Text from st.
John, II Chapter, 81 verse, which
reads Is follows: "Peaee / leave with
you. Ny peace I give unto you; not
% the world givsth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let It be afrsid.
Subjeek-"PEAcE"
A birdseyc view Of the sermon as
I caught Il, 10 In substance, Christ,
the Crueified b the only Panacea
for the world, and Il II one Of the
utmost urgency that the declaration
should In these days reverberate
throughout the whole world more
passionateiy, with greater clearness,
and with the fullest understanding
Of its most intimate relationship to
present troubles.
The world has yet to realize that
il mankind, with an It's system, plans,
Ideas and hopes, come to collapse,
It will be upon "the stone which the
builders disallowed, the same is made
the head Of the corner" that they
have rejected. Stability, contentment,
confidence and peace-personal, ma
tional and international cannot be
established anywhere or by anyone,
Notwithstanding every RECONSTRUCT
ton, contract, vow, or treaty made,
or yet to be made (however praise
worthy the promoters intentions
may be) until a certain vital matter
has been settled between mankind
and Almighty God!
The question TO which I refer has
been outstanding fer nearly nine
teen centuries, and has constituted
Q worldwide crisis Of which present
discontents, anxieties, fears, suspic-
ions, and perplexities are but fur
Their aecentuation. It has been at
the root Of every failure and castas-
trophe, that has marked human pro-
gress for nearly twenty centuries,
and II we disregard Il n the world
has hitherto done, we may, with as
surance, predict the devastation Of
everything built on the present order
Of things-which IL marching, and
rapidly marching, to destruction.
Here, then. Is the solution, upon
which turns the destiny Of mankind
that Almighty Gods offer Of Peace
and Good VIII, and pledge Of it. in
the gift of His only Begotten Son,
have both alike been rejected, and
the Son put to q shameful death BY
wicked men; and that rejection and
death have since been confirmed by
generation after generation, which
refusing, "Have crucified to them
selves the Son Of God afresh, and
put Him to an open shame" And,
50, Alas! the world continued chain
ed to unrest and failure, and the in
dividual sealed to discomfort here,
and greater misery hereafter.
Let N not deceive ourselves, or
anyone elsei In spite Of every good
purpose, every good word and work,
mans Relationship 70 God, and to
life here and life hereafter, remains
outside Christ Just what IL has ever
been. For II any man hath not the
spirit Of Christ, he is none Of his
"He Is still . rebel still In the gall Of
bitterness, trespasses and sins-still
bound to disintegrating world
stiil marked for eternal death.
THE KINGS SON HAS COME AND
MEN HAVE CRUCIFrED HIM.
This is the heart Of Scriptural
teaching, though contrary, Of course,
70 the ideas Of 80 many Of our day,
Of which the most delusive Is the
giorification Of human nature. SUD-
