Outline of Sermon l.t Sunday.
Kcjiortcil for The Messenger.
Rev. It. 1). Shenill. of the r th
odist church, took his text from 2d
Timothy :0-7 1 have fought a good
fight; I have finished my cotir.se; I
have kept the faith, giving a ret
respective and prospective view of
Paul's life. Panl wrote as he
looked backward over his work
and life and to the future. Ho
showed his moral nobility, his
clear and powerlul logic, his zeal
and eloquence set on fire by tie
Holy Spirit, which enabled him to
contend faithfully and successfully
in the glorious light. He was con
lident of the crown laid up for him,
a ctown which awaits all faithful
foIlovYcrs of God. The preacher
made a strong eulogy on the char
acter, power and work of Paul.
At the Piesbyterian church in
the morning, Rev. W. II. White's
text was from Luke 16: 10 He
t but is faithful in that which is
least, is faithful also in much; and
he that is unjust in the least is
unjust also in much. The text pro
claims Christian loyalty and faith
fulness in obedience to law. As
the guard at the sentry box in
Pompeii, who stood faithful to the
end an I was engulfed in ashes and
molten lava, so must the Christian
lie faithful to divine law aud be
disciplined by it as the soldier by
military law. Breaking one law
shows a disposition to break oth
ers, as being laithful in the least
shows a desire to be faithful in all.
The tine Christian acts and woiks
fiom love of duty. Be loyal be
cheerful, kind, patient, unsellish
ami sincere. Encourage and help
icllowmen : croakers and harpers
are among the evil things. "Love
mi Here th long, love beareth ail
things, seeketh not her own.
tliinketh no evil, love never fail
eth.'" May God inlluenee us to be
loyal to every duty from the least
tt the gieatest.
