SAYS MAN OVERESTIMATES HIS SERVICES TO GOD

Hcv. I. I). SHiiuT Ikx-lares C rcatorj

Has Made Sacrifice Cardinal Act of Ietlon.

"Man has alwajs beoi prone to overestimate his services to (Jod. He thinks of (Jod as a receiver of pift.s rather than as a giver of gifts. With the Pharisee he thinks of the tithes he has given of the offerings and s-acriüces he has made rather than of the favors that have been given him. He likes to talk of the ok- of the rd but he never stops io rt-aliz how sweet and easy is that yoke and how essential it is for hi spiritual progress, " said liev. Daniel 1 Speiche r at tin; Grace Kvangelical church Sunday. I lev. Speicher chose as the subject of his atidress "The Jewish versus the Christian Altar." and he sought to show how different should be the spirit that actuates the devotional act under the new law from that which actuated it under the old. He pointed out that od has made the sacrifice the cardinal act of devotion throughout all the a ,'cs te teach men the great lesson of gratitude and to keep eve r before his mind the fact that he owes everything to his Maker.

The countries' in which relicion has come to its highest development and most complete expression are the only ones in which you can find people with no religion at all. ac-e-ording to Pev. C. A. Decker, pastor f the First 1 baptist church, in his sermon on "A Country Where the People Have No Religion." Rev. Decker referred particularly to the irrcligion of America. He said in part: "It is incorrect perhaps, to say that there a;e people and nations who have no religion. Thorough investigation has disclosed the fact that no such people can he found. There are all types of religion, some of them elaborate, noble and uplifting; some ef them crude, superstitious ant? debasing, but such as they are th; people adhere to them and 1! ml in them the medium for the expression f their religious ideas. This is a very interesting fact about man and very significant. For it is his chief distinguishing characteristic "Religion would have died long ago if man could be happy without it." says- Prof. Gwatkin. "Put apparently man can. never he happy without religion. Ami this is because religion has to do with the future, and we are future-looking beings. So while much of the religion of the world is crude, ha.se and often immoral, yet each race and age attempts to construct its religion as best it may. "Now. if this is true, how can there be a people without religion as the theme suggests? Well, here is a paradox. The very countries in which religion has come to its highest development and most complete expression are the ones In which you find people with no religion at all. "Perhaps this assertion needs he established. Consider that you never find in a heathen country a person who is unattached. Every one in China and Japan acknowledges allegiance to one of the various leaders in religion. There is not a single African without his Gods and Fpirits, crude and false as they are. Put in America it is easy to find people who aeknowletlgo no allegiance whatever, who have never given consideration to the great concerns eif the soul, and who are strangers to anv religious emotions."

MAN'S CHIEF TASK IS TO BUILD HOLY CHARACTER

Kev. T. K. Dougherty ajs Man Who Knows (Joel Has ev Strvnsth.

"Man's chief task in this world is to build God-like character and

keep it at the disposal of God." With ;

the words Rev. Frank K. Dougherty, pastor of the Grace M. E. cuhrch concluded his sermon on "Fnconscious Ministries" which was drawn from the words of Paul, "And the Prisoners Heard Them." Rev. Dougherty first repeated the story of the deliverence of Paul and .Silas from prison. "We are concerned tonight with hut one point connected vith the. entire prison account. It is that the prisoners heard the apostles singing and praying. "There is but one person above all others who should be a constant reveakr of the grace of God and that is the Christian. The man who really knows God through Jesus Christ has a new strength in his life. For him. 'Walls do ne.t a prison make. nor iron bars a cage.' The more adverse the circumstances the more direct the communication between the Christian and (Jod. "A life that is radiant with Christian graces sheds abroad on every side wholesome influence. The most beautiful side of the Christian life is seen in 'Unconscious Ministries ' Iul you ever think of the ministry of childhood to the world? How simple, unpretentious, unconscious? How many men and women are there in the world who are dedicating themselves to the best aiid noblest because of the influence of the cihld-life upon theirs! What was it that influenced you most as you look back through the years, your mother's commands or your mother's life? You will forget most of what your mother said but you cannot forget her Godly life. Many other unconscious ministries are constantly exercising an unconscious influence upon themsands of lives."

The wreck record of the Raltic sea is greater than that of any other part of the world.

THE spirit of Qiristmas is the spirit of service! The faithful carrier of parcels in Charles Dickens' "The Cricket of the Hearth" was an embodiment of this spirit. John Pecrybinglc typified personal service in transporution for his day and age. He never dreamed Charles Dickens never dreamed of the magnitude of Wells Fargo Service, nor of its thousands of devoted expressmen, upon whose efficient work the convenience, comfort, and pleasure of so many depend. Steadily the express has builded its reputation for both fidelity and dispatch in the handling of its business; yet it is in the flood-tide of Christmas shipments that its service is put to the greatest test. It is at this time that Wells Fargo needs most tha co-operation of its ratrons in order that it may handle without delay its millions of Christmas packages. Therefore we moke an earnest request tlut you ship early this Christmas To help you do this we furnish attractive labels requesting the recipient of your pi;kjes not to open them until Christmas day.

"The Hook of Revelation" was the subject chosen hy Rev. G. V. Hyrer. pastor of the Conference Memorial

Urethren church, for his i-ermon Sunday. Takinjr his text from the words of Revelation: "Which is and which was and which is to come. 1 am He that liveth, and was dad; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen." Rev. Ryrer said that these were "the key-words of Revelation which have brought comfort to sorrowing hearts throughout the apes." The speaker discussed the various interpretations that had leen piven the book of Revelation and pointed out in a gTaphic manner the truths contained in its mysterious language of symbols and Ii pures. "Revelation is the only book of the Rible which has a promise iven for reading and hearing it as well as following its precepts," y aid the speaker. "The great purpose of the book is to encourage Christians in the final triumph of their faith. It was written for the common people of the whole world, Jew as well as Gentile." The speaker then went on to explain some of the figures of Revelation and gave the interpretations that have been placed upon them by the the schools that have attempted their analysis. These are the Freterist. Historic, Futurist, Harmonic and Idealistic schools, all of .vhich .according to Rev. Hyrer, iiave much truth in their interpretation hut no one of them has all the truth. The speaker concluded by pointing out the reat message of hope and courage which the Hook of Revelation has held out for Christians from the das of the early peivevut i o n s.

DISCUSSES EVOLUTION OF MESSIANIC IDEAL

Pastor and Layman Deliver Joint Sermon

An unique feature of the services Sunday evening at the Westminster Presbyterian church was the joint sermon by the pastor. Rev. II. D. Hostetter and L. C. Vhit omh. The subject 0f the first j.art i f the sermon which wa-s delivered by Mr. Whitcomb was "IJuilding a House." In his short remarks the speaker pointeil out the modern methods of house buildinz. Rev. Mr. Hostetter then followed up aith the second part of his sermon "jiuilding a Home." in which he showed that the same method that were pursued in building a house should le usied in building? a home. Adolph James Hamburger, a native of Jerusalem, but at present a student in the MrOormiek seminary in Chicago gave two illustrated talks at the Westminster church Suriday. Mr. Hamburger appeared :n his native costume and presented sterepticon views on "A Trip Through F'alestine." Ijcs-ou of I he Cm s. "The Iesson of the Cross," was the subject of the sermon of the pastor. Rev. Mr. Hostetter, Sunday mornimr. Rev. Hostetter said in part: "The student of Paul's writings is not left in doubt as to what he regarded as the central fact of Christianity. 'We preach Christ crucilied.' he said to the Corinthians. "For nineteen hundred years the cross has encountered the scorn and opposition of un he. lie vers. The leading critic of this bxst penru.tion boldly asserted that he would substitute for the cross the telegraph pole., symbol 4ii enlightenment ami progress, but he failed is all must fail to shake the commanding position of the cross, the cross which occupies the central plr.ee in the Christian world because it symrxdizes better than anything else can the great sacrifice of Ca.lvary. God's niitli in Humanity. "The cross is the disclosure of Jod's faith in humanity. He knows us and yet he believes us and backs his faith by an infinite sacrifice. Calvary' vis an illuminated announcement, it was the announcement of a heavenly vote of vonfidence in the human race. "It is a disclosure of the way God identifies himself with us in our trials and hopes and upward strivings. He is not a heartless spectator sitting upon a throne of marble, viewing with complacency humanity's heart-rending struggle. He is here with us sharirg wounds and burdens and sufferings. He is doing all that is possible for him to do to relieve and reo"cvm us. Be strong and of good courage. Victory is sure if you are true. If God be for us who can be against us."

SOME VITAL QUESTIONS DISCUSSED BY PASTOR

Beginning a new series of sermons on Trying to Answer Vital Questions," Hew John . Burns, pastor of the Trinity Presbyterian church, based his sermon Sunday on the text. "If a man die shall he live apain?' At the evening services at the Trinity Presbyterian church, Adolph James Hamburger, a native of Jerusalem, but at present in the Mcfermiek seminary at Chica-o. presented a stereoptican lecture on "A Trip Through Palestine." In his sermon on Immortality, Kev. Burns traced the history of men's conceptions on the subject from the very earliest ases and showed how this conception had influenced history. He pictured the "Fhcol" of the Jews and the Greek "Kredus" whither the spirits of the dead departed upon leaving the body and contrasted the vague and gloomy conception which the ancients held of an after-life with the Lautiful Christian doctrine of the resurrection.
