MOD FINDS LESSON IN WORDS Of BEGGAR

Rev. Manfred C. Wright Uses Poem In Illustrating the Bounties of Savior.

Drawing a lesson from the poem of beggar which was written by Tagore ihe Indian poet and winner of the Nobel prize, the R«v. Manfred C. tWright preached an interesting ser•mon at the Montrose Methodist church

Sunday evening. He said in part: "Rabindranatn Tagore, the poet of India Nobel prize winner for 1913, In one of his poem® tells of a beggar jk waiting in the village path for the ^golden chariot of the king, who is to [p&ss that way. When the king ar-

Ives the beggar holds out hie hand for gift. To his. surprise the king expends his hand and says to the begr^gar, "*7iat hast thou to give me?' Contused and undecided the beggar opens h:s wallet and takes the least little ^grain of corn and gives it to the king. *At the day's end the beggar opens

Ihis bag and finds a grain of gold among £ihls poor heap. Then he weeps bitter*«ly and wishes that he had had the 'i^l-pait to give to the king his all. "That poem is a parable of the boun^ty of God. Toward that bounty many '"*a.-«ume the attitude of beggars, for-

vgetting

that God has need of any nu-

,'^mar. gift. When there is a response ^lo His need there awaits for the giver an unutterable surprise. The gift, out ^of God's blessed magnanimity, is re.turned. 'For brass I will bring gold, I 3§and for iron I will bring silver and iVfor wood brass and for stones iron.' "Why is not all given to God? First, -—Jack of noble impulses. Second, fail'ure to recognize the King. Third, lack j"of faith. The little gift is deemed too small to be of ajiy worth to the king. p*.It is forgotten that in the least grain ~4of corn there is potentiality of feeding continent. "Failure to give to God one's all will cause for deepest anguish. A day

Mill come for the opening of life's bag. What treasures will then be revealed? ,It all has been given to God then, as "i «b\ a divine alchemy, all will appear z'i a gold, radiant and imperishable."

In the morning the Rev. Manfred ^Wright took as liis subject "The ^Vis*dOin of Soul Winning." The wisdom

*cf soul winning is not the wisdom of ^.^sehools, he said. In part he said: j* "It is not the wisdom of the schools, ^although that may have its use in jsoul-winning: it is rather the wisdom I ]iihat comes from the fear of God: it the apprehension of eternal verities,

Jimmortal destinies, human personali4"tU'S. "Some regard it wise to win money, Tfame, friends. And these may be worthy, and splendid if sought as inInstruments to the higher pursuit. The fWisdom of soul-winning is justified in the needs of men. Their divine potentialities need to be revealed and deelcred. 'The winning of the west' a lragmficent phrase which contemplates 1§£. -the opening up of the vast potenti"~arTJ"Wts: and resources of that wonderful area of God's out of doors. One day ^Stanley started on a perilous journey, jipbut no one restrained ham or called '-•hint foolish. Why? Because in the

Hieart of Africa was the object of his 'perilous quest in the person of David ^Livingston. Souls are in need of such ..redeeming quest." "y 'The wisdom of soul-winning is 'justified in the fulfilment of Christ's

r'1

Munj£dom program and purpose. The jjkstipling of the nations is not to be ^/done in wholesale fashion, but individually. Men are to be won singly and the kingdom is to be established by .the multiplication of personal evangelists until every Christian and every chuichman is united in a world sweeping campaign to bring all men to

God."

REV. MARK'S SERMON.

."Rolling Away the Stone1' Subject of 'j* Sunday Morning Talk. Dr. O. E. Mark of the Centenary •Methodist church delivered a semion (Sunday morning on "Rolling Away the 'Stone," using as his text Matt. IS:3, "Who Shall Roll Away the Stone''"

He said, in part: ii "It was a perfectly natural inquiry. The stone was heavy and sealed with the Roman seal. They knew they could sexpcct no help from the Roman guard. 'In this, their experience is similar to that whicli we frequently undergo ns we face some great purpose or ifficultv, knowing that the bystanders villi be of no assistance to us.

The little party of women were the bearers of spice for embalming the body of Jesus, but when they came to the tomb the stone had been rolled \awav. Frequently our friends fp.in •would help us. but it is often beyond their power. The friendly or charitable impulse is impeded by a. door of "VgStone and often the stone is rolled

N jyay by a higher power Just as was lihe case in our text."

LIKENS WORD OF GOD TO SWORD Of SPIRIT

Rev. Bishop of Grace Church Declares Bible's Mission is That of Soul Culture.

Sunday evening Rev. M. C. Bishop of Grace M. E. c.hui#h took for his text Eph. 6:17, "And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God." He said in part: "There are a few things fundamental in approaching God's word. We need to approach His word with fear and trembling, in a prayerful and carerul way. And as we study and approach it we must expect one thing. That thing must be a religious atmosphere. We cannot study mathematics from a hymn book nor algebra from any other than an algebra text book. So when we open the blessed word to study, there must be one thing to expect, feeding the soul. "This is a very beautiful figure the apostle has used, 'the sword of spirit.' In the first place man sometimes uses the sword in self defense. In second place, the sword is used by military cadets to display military drills aiid in the third placs, the sword is used in war. The apostle says 'the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God.' What does word mean? "There are men today usin? the word of God in self-defense, Just as the sword is used in self defense. The word of God takes things as they are, without regard to whom they strike. Then we have the student preacher, who comes home from college and, like the military cadet using the sword, the student uses the word of God to display his ability as an orator. Then

Ave

have the man who comes along and uses the sword, not to display or defend, but to show the beauty of God in the soul. If this old book cannot minister to our souls it has no right to a place i-n the world. It gives to the world a spirit that has made the world brighter, happier and better. "The man who cannot look into the word of God and get out something for his soul is to be pitied. God's word is for soul culture and nothing else. The word has a message to fit into the lives of every man and woman in Terre Haute. "The book doesn't amount to much for self defense or display, but it fits life. May it's message go to the uttermost parts of the world and create the soul to a new life. Bless the Lord for the word that satisfies the soul."

SAYS JESUS' Ml is MP MATH

Rev^ 0. E. Mark Bases Sunday Evening Sermon on the Words of Sisters of Lazarus.

At Centenary church Sunday evening Dr. Mark took as his subjject the words of Mary and Martha when Jesus came to visit them the event of their brother's death, "If Thou hadst been here." The words are the same in John II, chapter 21 and 23 verses, namely: "If Thou hadst been hero my brother had not died." Speaking on this theme, he said: "There are some things in this world and its experiences in relation to which the mission of Christ is an everlasting negative. It is impossible to think of these opposing principles in the same thought with the truths Jesus came into the world to teach. "As suggested by the reproach of these two-8lst«rs, death is one thing which is everlastingly negatived by the fact that Christ came into tiie world. We do not claim that He does away with physical death, but we do claim that the coming of Christ into the world robbed death of its sting and the grave of its terrors. The open tomb of Lazarus was but a mute expression of w^.t these two sisters expected at the hands of Jesus. "And it is not only in the sense that a healing balm is afforded by the principles in the future life which Christ taught, but there are also certain noncomitants of Christanity t.o which we may apply the statement of the sisters, namely, those scientific principles that have been laid down under the auspices of Christianity and worked out under its teachings by which we avoid death at least, premature death. For instance, we point to the advancement along lines of sanitation, hygiene, pure food, pure water, pure air, medical skill and such like, as a part and parcel of the higher development of Christ's teachings. In our city today it is possible for many a relative to say in regard to those who nave passed away or who have sickened under neglect, that 'if the Christian religion had been lived up in its entirety, my brother had not died.' "So much for the idea of physical death alone. The same statement may be made with regard to sin both in its abstract and concrete conceptions. Many die of sin and its consequences.

Sin is a calamity to be avoided by the presence of Christ. Again we may say, 'If Christ had been in the places where thousands are dying as a result of sin, they would not have died.' "Likewise, it is a consideration worthy of note that Christianity has brought civilization light continued darkness is unhealthy and deadly. Thousands upon thousands have died in the darkness' of barbarism and savagery, because Christ had not been taken to them. If Christ had been there, these, our brothers, would not have died."

FIRST M. E. TAKES LEAD.

Goes Ahead of Centenary in Sunday School Attendance Race. Large congregations were present at all of the services at the First Methodist church Sunday. In the Sunday school the attendance was 3S5, which placed them 23 ahead of. the Centenary, in the attendance contest. At the evening service Rev. I. B. Harper delivered a sermon on "Forgetting God," using as his text "For My People Ha.Vc Forgotten Me." Jeremiah, 18:15. He said in part: "Nothing can so utterly separate a man from the helpfulness of God as this sin mentioned in the text. So long as a man is opposing God, fighting against Him, he at least is holding God in mind and paying some tribute to his power. But to forget God, to live as though God were not, that as nothing else, shuts the presence of God from the life. Forgetfulness of God is a dangerous tendency of our modern life. Certain influences today playing upon the lives of men tend to drive God i/to the background of their thought. Servile fear of men is such."

TO KETUKN TO REFORMATORY.

Youth Who Wanted to £o Back Will Leave Monday Afternoon. ChcosiTiE" prison life rather than to steal, Ivan Keefer, a 19 year old boy, who is out on parole from the Jefferscnville reformatory, has given himself up to Chief of Police Ed Holler, and v.-ill make the trip to the reformatory alone Monday afternoon. Keefer has been working in Terre Haute but lost hio job recently. When he found that he no longer could work or get work he gave himself up to Officer Welch.
