Those Who Attended tint husi . astic Over Mr. Perry's tfecital . . The one event of the season, where music in the abstract was to reigtt su preme, lrew an audience of less than a hundred' last night in the Y. M. C. A. hall, if the enthusiastic college element be eliminated. One might be led to be pessimistic with regard to the love of real music in this city, upoii seeing such an exhibi t i on, espe cially as Perry is known, and the good, quality of his work cannot be gainsdid. How ever, to those present, it was "an- intel leotual and emotional 'feeast of good things' in tone poems,for Perry's poetic nature can tooth create and interpret music, which is thesembodi'ment of true poetry. The lucid descriptions given of the several .members made it easy for even the musical tyro to fol low their various tonal moods, whilst the performance itself was thoroughly good: especially fine was the delicate iouch called porta by the more ether eal num bers. . In addition "t o 'the pr o-grajBhn&hlvha.-aiready-5-beenv en joyd in rint, Perry played ) ills own "Lorelei,!' iu respohse to a most . pro nounced encore given after he played his own composition '"Aeolienne," which was taken sfrom a thought in Arncldis "Light of, As)a!eoIiejohe is a name which exactly interprets the mature of the music.

' From the '. h jghest musfdal ';'standpciht,i5 'tro pin's r'.ii' fla;t.,drama.fii,c- 'Sdijati ; 'was the piece of the programme. " All' ' were gocd, however, in fact each in its spe cial way was a musical gem. , From all standpoints Perry was worthy of a larger audience, though he certainly could not have had a warmer reception than was given him by those present at his recital last, evening.

Unites Office of Priest and Kirg; ' Officially Sends the Holy Ghost ; Advocates Cause of His Peo ple; Intercedes for His People; Complete Salvation .V After tlhe usual song and prayer ser vice last night, iMr. Pearson had "a word of announcement." He said he saw by the papeiTthat a cold wave Was coming by tonight, but he hoped thi s would -not prevent the mothers from attending the service tonight the spe cial service for mothers. "I want every mother in Charlotte to be here. And then Saturday night I want every fath er to be here. Just a word of advice to you merchants and business men: Let the single men, the young men and the old bachelors run your store for one hour Saturday night and you come to the service. I want you married men, you fathers to come. If the single, men cannot run the store for an hour, then have the courage,-grit and grace to close the store for that time. It will do you good, not that I have anything to say," but God has. iSunday night wJ go to the 'First church. Now let's sing 'Our Lord Is . Now Rejected."' Mr. Pearscn?then . read a : Scripture; selecj tion. Heb. 1: 3, he said, was in some respect tne most . remarKaDie verse 111 the Bible: , "It takes;" said ;he "the entire Work of - Christ from theercss to the second 'coming . and .then divides it up into two great sections,, the work on thecrflss, when. He made atonement for sin; the work of intercession that He is now doing on the throne. "Thank, God for- the cross, but it is a' sad fact that so: many Christians iaev- er look beyond lfe . cross ; , they never ' follow; Christ; , beyond , tne crffsst ' We! should go on war.cf-.and up ward wUh. our blessed Master to rhe thrdhev and study this great matter of redemption and intercession. So we must go on learning of Christ." , ' Last night Mr. Pearson' directed the thought of 'his audience on high even unto the throne, and to the "Work of Christ on the Thnn3." "There are six specific things that 'Christ does on the throne, said the preacher: VFir3t, To unite the office of priest ana king. "Second, To officially send the Holy Spirit at Pentecost "Third, To advocate the cause of His saints. "Fourth. To intercede for His saints. Fifth, To complete the salvation of Hi.3 saints. "Sixth, To cousnmmate His media to.rial reism. ' .- "Now as to the "first. All) Bible stu-N dents know that under the theocracy the office of priest and king was kept distinct. David couldnot perform the office of priest while king, and Aaron could not perform ithe office of king, The union of these two offices was first typified in Melchisedec. Christ was made a priest forever, after the order Of Milchisedec. He was the priest-king -our high priest seated on the throne. The first thing he did on the throne was to unite these two offi ces of priest and king. On earth -He was a Saviour, a sacrifice, , but whea He ascended to the throne he assumed trje jbyal dignity- and majesty -: of a kimsr' He is not simolv our Saviour. bit our ruler. Worldly-minded Chris tians seem to nave the idea that, tney ian ignores- HI3 roval commands and live as they please, ' but I tell you if the Lord Jesus ; Christc does not rule in your life all your talk about His being your Saviour and you being His child fe theological, unmitigated bosh. Roy al power, absolute power! Thank God hen for this union of these two offices of Jesus Christ on tho throne.. "Now the second work of Christen the throne, - is to officially send the Holy. Ghost at Pentecost. That was the peculiar official work of Jesus Christ. LThe. Holy Ghost 'had not been sent. Why? -Because Christ was not yet "glorified. Christ on the throne is the official dispenser of the Holy Spir it. The "Holy Spirit is His accredited agent through whom He carries on His workon earth-, while He carries tit on in heaven: Peter and the other apos tles were witnesses to what Christ did 'here, and the Holy Spirit the official, divine witness of what Christ does on the throne.- This gave the apostles that: dauntless courage," that undying love, hope stronger than the grace, and fill ed them with holy zeal for that en throned .Master; 'Furthermore ; it is through the Holy- Spirit that Christ imparts His life, ascended, enthroned life, divine life down to -His children. We are told in Romans 8:2 that 'the - law of the snirit nt u and oeah frm the law ana deajh. Paul said l ran dr oil things through Cfiirist;vho strength Sf-rSV'1' yU ar6 sciinff to ve spir itual life, power, unction you mut so walk in the Holy Spirit TatChriS can impart His life and strength through the Holy Spirit to youv IWhy 13 it, so to speak, that Christ is doing so ktae for (the advancement of His kingdom? It is because the Church of God by machinery, by clap trap no longer gives the Holy Spirit the right of way. Th Holy Spirit is side-tracked; the Holy iSpirit is grieved and wuunaea, ana 'Christ, (I say it with reverence) can't carry on His work in the Church while this is so. "Another work of Christ on (the throne is, 'To advocate the cause of His people.' A blessed thing that He doe3. Rev. 12:10 'For the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which ac cused then before our God day and night.' Thank God we - have an advo cate - in- heaven-an- advocate on the thronet 1st John - 2:1 'And lif any man sin we have an advecie witih the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.' Christ is not the advocate of the un-. saved note' that. Hence in Heb. 6:19-; 20 'Which hppe we have as an anchor of the ' soul; 'both sure and steadfast, and Which' entered into that within the veil; "whrtheF' the' forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest forever after the order of Mel chisedec.: ' Jesus, the enthroned Sav iqLtkiV the - priest-king, 'entered into 4fttWithin' the Tell' God's . Holy of IJioIie&T-fto advocate the cause of His children.'. Let the devil say ' what he pleases, thank God we have an argu ment that answers all: 'Who 1 shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is ; Christ that died, and that work on ther. 'cross lays the basis for a just Gcdvto sate; thev' , unworthy sinner. ChH.ssf nnilifa'fn tVio 1 nr-r -n r,'rtr. mar.

"Another work of Christ on the thrones-is, 'To .Intercede for. His peo ple.'. Nolsmner, you just get it clear, that Christ is not there - to plead lor unsaved men. He loves unsaved men; He died on the cross for ui'r.ael nyen, but He does not intercede for unsaved' in en. If you repent and accept Him hen. He'll ibe your advocate. -As long as you reject 1 His .work on the cross He'll do no work for you 011 the thrcne. So sinner accep't His .work on the . cress; ;so you can be the beneficiary of . His work on the throne.,, He is seated on the right hand of Go'A for what? To make intercession; for, iis. On the cross He was making the atonement: What is He doing on the throne as our great high priest ?. Interceding for; His people, to receive, from th3 Father rhe blessings and showers tbem down on us! His spirit never stops that work. He is interceding constantly, continu ally calling down blessings on a lost world. 'Seeing He ever l'veth to make intercession!' See the idea? A priest! an eternal priest! Aud now what? No let up, no suspensiop of His priestly function; no repetition of His priestly offering. That was oiice for all. .Aaron., had to repent the sacrifice, but. Christ did' .not.. That is the difference be tween Aaron representing the work an the' cross, and Melchisedec rep resenting the work on the throne. Aaron made atonement; Mel chisedec, a continual, unbroken intercession- And so Christ, by, one offer ing,, made all the offering needed.. Ho had all' the qualifications .to procure all the blessings God has to send us. "The next thing that Christ does on the throne is, To complete the Sal vation of His saints.' Now saivatioii is a big thing, a great thing, a long thing . It is progressiva from regen eration on to glorification. The salva tion of God's sainrs was begun on the cross, salvation oegms us worK m when we axe. regenerated, and .when we are regenerated only. We are tiavel . from the guilt of sin when ? . , , When heser bodies bave Ve-n fashioned :;ke unte-His; when we -stand corapletp in Him' without "spot or' blemish ' before the thfone! Then salvation will be con summated. L: Christ began the work of salvation on the cross. Now what is His work on tihe throne? To complete the work, of regeneration begun in us. Oh! Christian, get that idea. There is not one moment that the blood on the mercy seat is- not there, and Christ is there continually to make it efficacious to us,' and now, 'Christian, just grip that thoueht. that Christ, our nign priest, can keep us saved as well a3 save us at all. Not only is He tne eter nal ; high priest, but He abides in tue Holv of Holies continually. Aaron could go into-the Holy of Holies, but could 'not stay. Christ on. tne tnrone makes the Holy of Holies ever accessi ble. We can be ever in 'communion with God. We are told to come wun boldness to the tfiirone of grace.
