from the love which has offered them

When Jesus was born, some poor
ihepherds were feeding .eir flocks In
the dead hours of night. They were
not wise men as the world' reckons
Wisdom, but they were simple-minded
men; their wisdom consisted not In
knowing a vast number of things, but
In thinking of their Creator and aim
ing to please Him In every thought and
action and word of their lives. God re
vealed the birth of His Son not to the
King or the high priest, nor to the
nobles and rich of the country; but to
these innocent, pure-minded shepherds.
How astonished these poor men must
nave been at this brightness and glory
Suddenly breaking forth before them
a glory and splendor surpassing all
that this world could produce! The
Shepherds went to Bethlehem and
Obeyed and adored. All should
learn the lesson 'that Jesus is the
perfect model of good will. How
perfect an example of His good will to
God the Father does he afford as He
lies in the manger, a little helpless In
fant! He seems to say to us: "My
brethren, all I ask of you is that you
how your good will and take, as I did,
everything from the hands of God
which he sees fit to send you. I ask
nothing extraordinary; only that. Be
people of good will, and you shall en
Joy peace in -union with God In this
world, and in the eternal world here
after." All day long the church has
been visited by crowds to behold the
crib, as also the sanctuary decorations.
The electrical display Is Indeed wonder
ful, and the high altar is a marvel of
beauty. The electrician, as also the
ladles ot the sanctuary, society and the
sisters deserve great credit for the
handsome appearance of the church.
TRINITY METHODIST CHURCH.
At Trinity Rev. J. A. B. Fry
preached as follows:
It Is not a very easy task to select a
present and to properly adopt the pres
ent to the person who is to receive It.
The first thought I want to present I
think is a very significant one, and is
found) in the statement already made.
X went up street this past week to se
lect two books, one for a little child and
the other for a mature scholarly man.
Necessarily I sought the counter that
contained fairy tales and childish
poems for the child. When It came to
electing the book for the mature and
scholarly man I went to another apart
ment of the book store. Why? Be
cause it was my wish to adapt the
book to the conditions and needs of the
one to receive It And in the fact Inkt
God gave His only begotten Son, Is
contained one of the subllmest truths
that you and I could think upon, that
H selected that gift with two points
In views First the need of the recip
ient, and secondly, the power of the
recipient to appreciate the gift. The
present that you make Is your meas
ure of the needs and the power of ap
preciation of the one to whom you give
It And when you get that thought
you have something that you apply to
the great God that is enough to lift a
soul Into a new world. The gift you
tnake is your measure of the needs and
capacity of the one that receives lc,
When God Almighty- took the Son of
His own bosom and made that gift to
'men it was God's measure of man's
need and man's capacity, that fact is
with theenough to lift my soul. You
would not select an A-B-C-book for a
great scholarly statesman as was Mr.
Gladstone. You would not seloct a toy
to give to the capacity of a Frances
Wlllard. If you wanted to make pres
ents to people of such capacity your
.present would be adapted to the abil
ity and the masterfulness of the brain
pt the recipient. : .."''''

alone has revealed man to himself. He
showed first that a man should have a

when you think of Christ while 0U
think of His divinity ulso think of Him

yet He showed that a man may have a
Kieat unselfish object, and that an un
selfish one for the good of his fellow
incn. and that object with Him was the
perfect subordination of His will to the
fathers in the salvation of men.
Hi-others, is there any place where
you can find the dignity of a man and
the possibility of a man mote than In

and I have never seen, and out of the

Peter, John and Paul There Is some
thing in a rising sun that drives dark
ness away, that impresses any man,
but no man ever had Ood revealed to
Him through nature. The mother pun
ishes you and It seems a very unwhole
some thing to you at that time, but
remember that you knew that at the
other end of that hirkory was a hand
that had wiped your sorrows away;
you knew that from that hand was a
sympathy going out. that hand loved
you through every stroke of the
hickory, and with every stroke was a
prayer that the punishment might be
a bk-ssing. Or, if we could see only
nature with the sun that sometimes
searches, and the sea tl.at oftentimes
drowns and the pestilence that brings
death, if I saw only those I could not
ever reach God, but when my Master
came with a great father's heart be
hind all, I learned that Just as that
mother punished men when a child,
loved me and prayed for me. I learned
that behind the scourge Is a great
father's heart, The subllmest fact fever
spoken to this old earth was when
Jesus Christ said, "Our Father."
You may have a beautiful home, It
may be well built, and there may be
all that you can ask, there may be a
comfortable chair for you to sit in, and
beautiful carpets on the floors and pic
tures on the walls. But one day there
goes out from that home what la
nearest to you and then what does it
mean? What Is it to you then? Do
the comfortable room, the carpets and
the beautiful things satisfy. No, you
yearn for the touch of another, you
want some living eye, some warm
hand to shake, you want another heart
in tli.it home, and after all it is a per
son that you want to sit with you at
the fireside, and look with you at the
pictures. After all it Is the person with
you that makes it what It is.
My thought to you this beautiful
Christmas morning, brother. Is that In
the gift of Christ is God's morals of
the valuation upon your own life, that
is God's evidence of your need and your
capacity. My Lord looked into the hu
man heart and gaye Himself to make
known to that heart the gift of the
Father, and that ought to lift it Into a
new world. We shall never get through
learning the meaning and the value of
a soul.
FIRST BAPTIST.
The services at the First Baptf3t
church, throughout the day, were full
of interest. The music was of a hlgh
order, both In the church services and
In the Sunday school. In addition to
the choir, led by Mrs. Alexander
Stephens, Miss May Oates assisted
morning and evening. A very elabor
ate programme was successfully" car
ried through in the Sunday school.
Richardson's Orchestra rendered some
fine pieces. Mr. Harry Asbury gave a
flute solo, Mr. Don Richardson a vio
lin solo, and Mr. Harvey Overcarsh
a vocal solo. The room was beautiful
ly decorated and Mr. Thomas S. Frank
lin presided.
The regular Christmas exercises will
take place to-night at 8 o'cloclf One
feature of the exercises will be tho
gifts for the poor which the scholars
have been asked to bring either pro
visions, money or to$s.
At the 11 o'clock service the pastor.
Rev. Dr. A. C. Barron, preached from
Matt. 2:2: ' Where is He that Is born
king of the Jews?" He said In part:
Who these men were and whence they
came we are not told. There are many
traditions as to their age, position and
country, but tradition is not authori
tative. They belong to the great army
of nameless ones, who come for a mo
ment into the white light of Christ's
presence, render Him service and then
pass off the stage of action. But they
come asking the great questions which
are ever uppermost In the minds of
men. Where Is He? Who Is He?
What Is He? - These are the questions
which concern us to-day and will till
He shall come again. The world wants
to know about Christ .
' These men were Gentiles and had
studied only the propecles ot their
master Daniel, and so they come ask
ing. Where Is the King? The shepherds
with clearer knowledge came saying,
Where Is 'the Savior? We must know
Him first as Savior, then, as King. .
It Is -very suggestive .how all through
this' incident Interest centers "in Him."
The personal pronoun is repeated over
and over He-Hlm"-the ; child,"
showing unmistakably that these wise
men .come worshiping Jesus. They
might desire -better knowledge of the
kingdom and Its law, but . the king
himself alone could satisfy: ' And so to
day men can never find rest and peace
except at the feet Of Christ the Lord.
Pomp, 'show, wealth rt& even power,
cannot attract Snd hold the DiVJns Per
mmw Jesus. : ; V:?v- 'i-;'".? "' - .
' IV; must not be forgotten' that these
meni first gave themselves, then after
ward,? their tnn'r. 'They worshiped
Hhn--hot Mary, but th child Josui.
Like them, we must first give our
selves to Jesus, then our treasures will
be acceptable. They make a terrible
mistake who think to buy off Ood with
money.: "Thy money perish with thee,"
said peter to. one who thought this.
x After we have give ourselves, then
we may offer our treasures, as did
these men their gold, frankincense and
myrh, Borne of us may not have treas
ure to give, lut we may give ourselves
to Clod and others, and this is far bet
ter, than money. We may catch the
Christ spirit of this day and go out
trom this place to do good as did the
Christ and gloriiy God.'
The following Is a synopsis ot What
Rev. Dr. M. P. Hardin said st tne
Second Presbyterian church:
Jesus Christ, the potent factor In all
the world's best thought and wisdom,

Ideas which, furnished us, cast out

hope, the mind with truth, the word

prostrated persoVs are able to stand

Jesus Christ is the direct negation
of everything tli:it destroys the free
dom, beauty, value and joy of human
life. He is th? incarnation and eter
nal affirmation of Uod and of tho di
vine dignity and worth of man. How
ever much our theological ideas may
change in some points, this truth, I
believe, will live forever and even find
a larger acceptance in human life,
that Jesus Christ is the word, the liv
ing epistle from the heart of the eter
nal to nil the sons of men. In him
God has declared himself. In him
God has suld to men what he could
have never have said merely through
ordinary human speech. God spoke to
mun through the lips of Christ,
through his uttered human words, but
for htm this he spoke in a. universal
human tongue, known and read of
every race under the sun in life, in the
character of Jesus Christ.
However destructive criticism may
In ,the future prove to be, it will never
blot out the truth of this revelation.
It will never silence that living speech
of God, uttered in and through the
man Christ Jesus. You and I, my
friends, may rest our lives, our des
tiny upon what we learn from that
WOTd.
At Try on Street Methodist church
yesterday Rev. Dr. W. W. Hays
preached a powerful sermon and In
the evening Kev. T. F. Marr. the pas
tor, spoke about "Paul as a Christian.'
His sermon, in part, was as follows:
Thoughtful men never see effects
without endeuvoring to ascertain the
To account for the course of Paul
Is a subject that Involves much se
rious thought. Large as were his en
dowments by nature and culture they
cannot account for the Impressions
he has left on the world.
That he had large natural gifts is
too apparent to need proof.
But in estimating himself he
does not even take his pre-Christian
life into account. He turns from It
with aversion as something condemn
ed and lost. This shows the estimate
he placed on them. Nevertheless he
would have been great In history even
If he had not become a Christian, for
he was cast in nature's noblest mould.
He is simply an example of what
Christ can do with large gifts when
consecrated to him.
Neither has belief in a set of prin
ciples the power to produce such an
effect. Other men of decided genius
have died for what they believed true
Who did not change the current of
human lory to any appreciable ex
tent, l.aerns of fidelity they may
be; but master-builders they were not.
Nor can it be accounted for on the
ground ot true patriotism. Love for
man only stimulate our powers at best.
But to say that Paul had all these in
a very high degree does not account
for his wonderful life.
There was evidently a greater pow
er added to those he already possessed.
What was that power? To say It
was education Is equally tame. His
culture was eminently necessary for
his position, but this alone could not
have so Impressed the world. His
connection with Christ alone can ex
plain it. Paul was above everything
else a Christian. All rifts and graces
were powerful only as they were
brought under Christian Influences.
Let us now note some of the muin
features of Paul's Christianity, since
It produced such wonders In him. He
considered himself a lost man and a
great sinner who owed the forgive
ness of his sins and the redemption

It may seem strange that Paul con
.u.iit hi nre-chrlstlan life f-
ure; but so he did. And this despite: j
The fact that he was moral
man; he says he was blameless. He
had attained to a high order of cul
ture and had been recognised b the
nation as a person of distinction. Paul
means beyond all doubt to say that
natural ability is useful only a It
Is Influenced by Christ. To see the
force of this we have only to note the
many brilliant lives wasted from lack
ot uch consecration. There are use
ful men In every community who
would have been nothing but for
Christianity. The second great ele
ment In Paul's Christianity was his
conversion. The two notable features
of his conversion was the gulf It
fixed between his present and past
life. The two could not be recon
ciled. No one could doubt the Change
that hud taken place. All conversions
may not be so marked as Paul's, but
all "that Is genuine will be distinctly
innrlied. The second great feature
was his acceptance or unrisi. 10 u
it ninv seem strange that he had any
dlfllcultv ut all on this point. But we
must remember (1) Christ was of
very humble human origin, while
Paul could boast the contrary. (2)
Christ cume from no Institution of
learning, while Paul was brought up
at the feet of Gamaliel. (I) But
when on the way to Demascus Christ
appeared to him In glory, Paul's oppo
ultlon ceased. Hence It was 'Christ
who saved him and not his own
righteousness.
These two elements must enter ev
ery genuine conversion. The con
version that does not perfectly draw
the life from the world and to Christ
Is not very marked. After Paul's con
version his whole life comprehended
In one word Christ. "To ms life
is Christ." Christ became the gov
erning principle or his life. He never
did anything without first getting or
ders at the Crosa. Christ became the
supreme object of his love. Paul
could never forget the love that mads
the cross a possibility. Christ was
also enthroned In his Intellect.
There Is that In Christianity to com
mand respect from the greatest minds.
It Is the only explanation of the prov
idence of Cod. It shows that all theBe
seemingly contradictory Influences are
working out the grandest and noblest
results. It Is the only satisfactory ex
planation of the end of man. His
life Is a picture of ours. It began In
obscurity and wended Its way through
sorrow and suffering to the Cross and
the grave. But see him standing on
the other Bide of the grave and know
what man is to be. We therefore have
a religion that can satisfy every power
of the human soul.
