This was tha basis for th dis course of Rev. E. I Bain at Trinity Methodist church yesterday morning, the teaching of the aermoii twins that the lova of Christ 1 powerful In its effect on every part of man. aid ing In the development and strength" enlng f every phaae of bub'i na- ture. mental, physical and spiritual. ."One of the beat educated ' iron If net the Imt educated man. or nrs time waa Paul." raid Mr. llain. "He had had the advantage of one of tha first cltlea In the Isarnln'g" bf the day. Ha knew the world and he knew the. literature, of the world. Those who have attempted to show by hia letters that he was not no very familiar with the literature nf lnt day have no support for their con clusions. For Jesus Christ so com pletely filled hla mind and heart that all worldly things fell Into utter Insignificance in his view. All the ties of family which he hid to sever, becoming an , apostate Jew counted by the others Jfews as - daad.-he ' counted as nothing. bca'J he was filled with the wisdom higher than that acquired by the application of the Individual to the worldly Know. edge -of the time. 'tut Incidental ftrpreneea here and there Indicate that he did know the literature of ' his day. Thus the apostle, knowing both the literature bf the world and having also the love of Ood shed abroad, in his heart by the Holy Ghost, says that this 1 a hotter way to come to the development of tha entire man. the inner aa well as the outer and the outer as well as tha Inner, than any other. He says that It was by the route of Jesus Christ, by the Influence of the Holy Hplrlt on man, showing him his relation, to God. his relation to hia fellow beings and hla relation to the unlvre, that a man gets the very nest foundation, on which a true, education mey.be built and reason, would help men who are pursuing courses In college. - 1 aon i believe in putting limits on the grace of God. I believe it goes down into very faculty of man. "I believe, therefore.' In Christian education, which - recognlsea ' the grace of Ood. the energising grace of God. I don t recommend to you to pursue the course of studying on Sunday. I do think it would be wise for you to confer with some de vout follower of God. .who la also educated, in order to getthe course of reasoning. ' ; . ' - -LOVE STRONGEST INCENTIVE!. Suppose you confine yourself to this Bible and see what you have. An a motive, you have the love of Christ overflowing your being. , H6w much . more of faith and how much more of spirituality we would have if we all answered to this descrip tion. I believe tha best students in the colleges of North Carolina to-i dav are those" who' are -studying- for the -very love of Jesus Christ. It was the love of country that Inspired Patrick Henry, and when he became thoroughly imbued with this spirit. he so compiled facta and so pre seated facta as to be a very hurri cane of eloquence and sent lightning into tha hearts of American patriots. No lova of country can compare with the lova of Jesus Christ, because He includes all countries and love of Him stimulates a man to be a son of God and to be a conqueror, not in material things, but In the realm of abstract truth. Ha came to earth only to translate God into terms which we might understand In part and appreciate. "We - cannot grasp the Idea of Ood in its entirety. He Is the emblem of everything the mind can conceive, infinite holiness, infinite power, infinite knowledge, -unending eternity, paat and future. Then think on the content of that con cept. 1 After you had written all you know, all your wife knows and all that, you couldfln!i,WlilUn,ihe j:oyers of the sacred book about God, there would. remain yet an. Infinite, lnex haustible fountain of knowledge." Mr. Bain said that he had observed men who had received college train Ing passed out Into life and It had passed away from them. He cited an Instance of a man whom he met once on a Virginia road, his clothing in tatters, his face debased, who, he was told, was a graduate of the University of Virginia. He recalled another who had nothing but a com mon school education who was one of the most diligent of Bible stu dents. When this man died - many professors of that famoua university came to his funeral to do him honor. He had obtained so firm a grasp on the principles' of life that he seemed to be able to read one's motives at a glance. Not only will one be developed In knowledge and in shrewdness, but he will be quickened In consolence and thus enabled to live a nobler Ufa. - FOR THE PEXDIXG BILL, Meeting Will Tie Held in the Audi-I torinm To-Xlgtit to Arouse Enthns-j lasm In Behalf, of the Proposed ' State iTOMDltion Law.

And this I pray that ) our love , d0 w M tfcM tne ,ove of chr,t may abound (or overflow) yet more and more in knowledge and all Judgment- Overflow to what? To your fellow beings? It doesn't ay that To Ood? It doesn't say that. No, It is looking particularly at the Indi vidual? for the Individual's own de velopment, tha gaining of culture, knowledge, . mental training, ' so that he would have the love ot Jesus filling his entire nature, stimulating every faculty of mind, stimulating every faculty , of heart, stimulating every faculty of spirit. It has taken the world a long time to realize that Jesus Christ died for the whole man. We still hear It preached sometimes In the pulpit to-day that He died to save the souls of men. The blood of Jesus Christ and the physical agony of ' Jeaus Christ, with every nerve afire and His entire body fingttng with agony, .was for the salvation of tha body of man. ' "The desert shall blossom as the rose,' says th Word. Commentator Clark says that thla la figurative language, but on what authority he does so la not apparent When ar teelan wells are. being' sunk In the desert and the waters therefrom are being used to flood the barren land. Is not this very thing being dona?" Paul says in substance: What ever evil has fallen Ood 's creation, it haa been potentially alleviated by the cross of Calvary, whose power extends to the ends of the earth. Shall we say then that these bodies of ours are not Included In the re demptlon? We sometimes hear that Jesus Christ did not die to redeem the intellects of men; that he did not die that we might have better memories, better imaginations, bet ter reason, fit. Paul teaches that He died not alone for the soul, and it Is doubtful if the soul Is a separate entity from the mind. Some say that tha body, the mind and the soul or tha spirit compose man. Others be lieve that the mind is a part of the Inner spirit In ' which are certain aptitudes. To this view Mr. Bain Is Inclined. This being Is to be over flowed with the love of Christ and thereby to be developed and strengthened. "I believe that Ood Intended every man to be an educated man," de clared the speaker. "I don't believe God delights In Ignorance. I don't believe He delights In weakness. My God is one of gentleness and tender nets, but not of weakness. He laid tha foundatlona of the universe. He holds the lightning in His fist and His exhortation Is that we acquit ourselves like men. He has ordered the various courses of the seasons In order that we might become edu cated. He has divided the time so that we may attain full development , DETERMINATION COUNTS. Education depends not so much on the fact that one has cultural In fluences around him. aa on the spirit of determination within the man that he will enter the fields of learning and do conqueet a determination that he' will be a man. How long does it take a man to get a college education? The preliminary courses re not difficult, although the youth who attacks thm with undeveloped mind, thinks -they are. Four years will . give the diploma. If a man nlllred his Sabbaths for study, said 1 Mr. Bain, in 1 years he would have: four college years at his disposal, "and 1 believe that Jf a man started out to develop hla intellect and! ouaiiry nimseir for the service of God, he would be using his time In a holy service and putting hla Sun days to a much better use than often . they are put Why then haven t you a college education? Is It because God has not so arranged His time as to make ir possible, or Is It because you have not got the stuff In you? "I believe that you who are Christians would have a stimulus, a divine help in the acquirement of knowledge and In the mastery of the sciences as you proceeded, which the. schoolboy, unless he ia a Chris tian, ' never knows. For, I believe that the love of Jrsus Christ, over flowing Into the realm of knowledge will develop, strengthen and elevate every phase of human. Ufa. DEATH OF MR. C. E. ST ALU XG 8. White Man Run Over by Automobile Dies as Remit of Injuries Sua ';' tallied Dr. Austin Not at Fault. Mr. C. E. Stalllngs, the white man who was knocked down by an auto mobile driven by Dr. IF. D.
