Replies, which are coming in from
all parts of the State, show that May 10
will be well observed in the public
schools as Vance Day, in memory of
the late Senator. In .each cHy scholl a
collection wiu oe agen up ior tne moa-
but because he had given them meat to
eat He then - said that Jesus Christ
could read the minds of those who came
to church to-day, and ; knew what were
their motives in coming. Coming to
his text, the preacher said that it con
tained an admonition, an exhortation
and an encouragement. The admoni
tion was "Labor not for the meat that
perisheth." He went on to 1 say that
labor was honorable. God, the Father,
worked, the angels were busy Jesus
Christ belonged to the laboring class;
StEtt labor for material things might be
misdirected and excessive. This is- es
pecially the case where it diverts the
minds from more important and eter
nal things, borne people were so lazy
thatithey had no time for religion, nd
so moved with the world that they had !
no - taste for religion. And .yet these
earthly things were unsatisfying and
perishing. They lasted only as long as
life, if so long. v " - , ' .
Upon the 'exhortation.'!. he said we
were to labor for "enduring" things,
that is, spiritual 'and eternal. Such
things as forgiveness of sin, acceptance
with God, and , work for the Master
were things that satisfied and endured
forever. - - I ... - -
He then" spoke, of the "encourage
ment,", to-wit, that Jesus Christ gave
the spiritual food. At the same time
we were ; commanded to labor for it
This paradox was explained by the fact
that becomirig'a Christian on the : hu
man side is very difficult, -but On the
dyine side is very easy. Thegrace is
freely given, but a sinner finds it the
hardest thing in the world to get him
self up to the point of. wanting to be a
Christian and accepting salvation. " ;The
human heart ia averse to religion; The
speaker gave a beautiful .illustration of
the ancient Greeks on their return from
the Trojan war.. They were fascinated
on the "Enchanted Isle" by the fra
grance of the lotos. . flowers, which ren
dered them unwilling to leave the" de
lightful spot where it was always after
noon. ".So men - are enchanted by the
pleasures of &in, and made unwilling to
leave their condition of - world Imess.
Butori God's side the change is easy;
"Thy people shall be willing in the day
of Thy v power.' '?; The spirit makes
them willing. . He illustrated the stater
ment that God had?1 "sealed' f or
duly authorized Jesus Cbrie " as tle
Savior of men by the ncident in Sgyp
tian history, in'wtiich Joseph was au
thorizjed to sell i food to the famished
people. No one ' went to Pharoh to
bay corn, but to Joseph", "sealed", or
commissioned by Pharoh. So we go to,
Christ, the anointed pf Qqtl, or." salvi
