C, MONDAY, MARCH 31, 1924 Sunday Greatest Day in Year For Local Church Several Fine Services Held at I Trinity Reformed Church j During Day With Hun dreds in Attendance. DR. SCHAEFFER IS CREATING INTEREST His Fine Sermons of Past • Several Days Have Result ‘ cd In Unusual Interest In Series of Meetings. Yesterday xvas one of the great days of the year in Trinity Reformed Church. “This is a crowning day," said Dr. Chas. E. Schaeffer in sneaking to the whole Sunday school. The church was filled for tin* Sunday school ami morning wor ‘ ship. The men’s meeting in the after -1 noon was largely attended. And the i church was packed fvfl f° r the evening service. Dr. Schaeffer was going good at the evening service, though it xx’us the sixth time - to speak and the fourth sermon for the day. And there was no abatement of his strength and no i letup in the spirit and passion of his j appeal to the congregation to accept i Jesus as Savior and Lord. Special I music for the day xvas furnished by a | male quartette of the churches. Misses j Morrison and Mrs. Wornhle, Mr. J. A. i Peck and son delighted the oongregu- j j tion with special saxaphone selections. I j At the 11 o’clock service Dr. Seltaeffe;*. I spoke on the subject. “What Is Reli-' ) gion?” Text : Coloseians 3:4 “Christ 1 ; —Our Life." Dr. Schaeffer spoke in j part as follows : These are three iin portant words. Christ—there is no ‘ bettor, or bigger word. Christ is the name that is above every name. Christ is tho fullness of the Godhead bodily. “All hail the power of .Testis name.” Life —no thing in all tho-world is bigger than life. -Jr is greater titan love, for love is nothing apart from life. Life is the one unsolved mystery that baffles and awes man. We do not know fully the origin and the destiny of life except that both are in God. Christ associat ed life with himself and in himself. “I am the Life." Christ is the marvel of the world and life is the mystery of the ages. Our is the eonnecting word in this text. And these three words so full of meaning express the idea that we ran speak in on word —religion. Dr. Schaeffer defined the teipn religion thus: “Religftm is the life of fjhd in the soul of man.” is five - mtfcf popular subject in all the xx*orld. Everybody is talking religion. The front columns of out* daily papers are filled with subject mat ter about religion. Large metropoli tan newspapers have religious editors. Yet. do we have a definite idea as to what religion really is? Dr. Schaeffer declared that religion is not a commodity that can be bought and sold, or given in dxchange; not a something that you can put on and off like the Sunday clothes; not something that is’external. “Nobody ever gets declared Dr. Schaeffer 5n iriosl positSxe toups and xvfth emphasis. The heathen gets religion. He carries his gods on his hack and puts them where he will. And they are a burden to him. Our God carries us. • Underneath are the ever lasting arms. Religion gets you. your thought, your impulse, permeates and pyrvades your whole nature. Christ lives in your, that is the Christian re ligion. Religion is not a creed. Dr. Schaef fer' made brief reference to the debates and conflicts that are current known as Modernism and Fundamentalism. Creeds are intellectual formations of experiences in individuals or groups. A man may believe all the creeds and yet not he a Christian. Then taking a flower from a vast* on the pulpit stand, ho declared “Ron can destroy all the books of botany and still this flower would be what it is in all ils beauty and fragrance. You can destroy all the boooks on astronomy yet the Wars will shine tonight in all their glory. So you catt destroy all the books of theology and religion would he as potent as ever. Don’t get seared if some doctrines should go overboard, religion is not going overboard for it is a life.” Likewise Dr. Schaeffer declared re ligion “is not cultus or worship.” We are not Christians merely because we go to some church. But when you are a Christian you can’t stay away from church. The same eternal ought will take hold of you as it did- of the Christ “I must needs be in my Father’s busi ness.” Neither is religion conduct or morality. Heathenism has morality. Confucius x\ r as a great moral teacher. But when you are a Christian your con duct will be after that of Jesus of Naz areth. Dr. Schaeffer strongly protested against and denounced the divided lif<‘. the double standard as unchristian. The mischief of it is that too many are like the man who says I am an Elder in the church on Sunday and on Monday I am a lawyer and I can cheat my ' clients. It is this divorce of religion and life that is the mischief today. If I am not religious on Monday, I am putting on on Sunday and therefore I am not real, not geunion. Jesus de spised the make-believe religion of liis day—the pale, melancholy. aenemic, 1 sickly religion that is put on. ■ The Christian man lives according to * the natural, normal and legitimate way ? of life. He does not deny himself of legitimate pleasures. He does not live an unnatural life. If you want a cure for the sickly life you now live go to church more regularly, give more of the money God gives you and pray more fer -1 x'ently. Put more life into your re- and put move religion into your r life. » (Concluded on page four.) h* THE COTTON MARKET j Opened Firm With First Prices Up 7 to j 22 Points on Bettor Liverpool and Business Reports.
