THE ANNUAL SERMON.
Notwithstanding the threatening ap-
pearance of the weather a large audi-
ence assembled to hear the annual sor-
mon yesterday morning, "by Rev. How
ard E. Rondthaler. of Salem. The
services were opened by jheentire stu
dent "body of the institution singi'ig.
"Invocation. "The opening prayer was
made by Rev. L. W?Crawford, who af-
terwards J read the . lessons, onebevr
the; ninety-sixth ' Psalm, and the 'otter
a portion of first chapter of Paul's let-;
ter to the.Phillippians. "
The choir, under the direction of
Prof. Clarence R. Brown, sang two an
thems, "Gloria" from Mozart's 1 2tb
mass, and "As Pants the Htart for
Cooling. Streams,", from Srohe's "Cru
cifixion." The solo part of the latter
was rendered by Miss Jessie Brown, of
Newton. The singing was by some of
the best voices of the Normal and, vas.
much appreciated by those who heard
it.
President Charles D. Mclve- intro
duced Rev. Mr. Rondthaler, who said:
"The simpler the picture of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the more does it appeal
to our hearts. As a study in group;
arid as a vivid display of the passions,
Muncasky's "Christ Before Pilatn "
may rivet our attention, but how much
closer to our hearts is the winsome ap
peal made by Raphael's Madonna, wUh
its gentle tenderness and home like
nearness? Hardly a simpler picture of
the Master could be found than the que
chosen in my text.Matthew 8: 15: "Ana

and human sympathy of our Lord di-

But He was ever doing thus; for 'Hs

sympathetic nearness; .to &edle-which
distinguished J&Sxa and won'thena. -
"There have been other great JfcadV

even unspeakable, manner as by touch
ing the individualone by one: It was
His delight to come near enough to
men to literally touch them. Men were
units to the Master, not masses; indi
viduals, not classes.
"He touched poverty touched it in
the truest way by making Hims!f
poor. 'Though He was ricji, yet for our
own sakes became He poor.'

In the deserts of Gallilee:
Thy couch was the sod, Oh, Son of
God,
In the deserts of Gallilee.'
-""Men have but lately awakened to
Christ's way of studying poverty not
by theorizing and speculating upon it,
but by going down into it and Bharing
it. The college settlement is net a new
idea; it is but a part of Christ's way
of knowing poverty by making orr-
selves poor.
"He touched laboir not by statistical
computations, not at arm's length, rot
as a problem, but during 18 years, of
Iis lifs, by making wooden' plows,
framing ox-yokes In a Nazarean car
penter shop with tools no better tr
the crude Implements of the present
Gallilean carpenter. No wonder that la
boring men became amongst His most
devoted followers.
"He touched child-life in His own
experience, of course, and then notably
when He sat with the little ones clus
tering about him. Mothers brought
their children to him that He mirht
lay His hands upon them and pray for
them. But He did more He took them
up in his arms, laid His hands u on
hem and blessed them, It was ho won
der that when others in Jerusalem re
ceived Him angrily in the morning of
His entrance His boy friends cried In
the temple, 'Hosana to the
David.'
Son bf
: 'He touched sorrow not as a spec'a
tor, but in His own, lonely sufferings
"In to the woods my Master went.
Clean forespent, forespenf:
Into the -oods my Master ame,
Forespent with love and shame.
Bui the olives, they are not blind to

The thorn tree had a mind to Him,
Wh n into tne wods iie ca.ne.'
"He touched disease, Until His hand
was laid upon them, the blind went
stumbling along, the dumb were en
chained in silence tll their tongues
w--e care? sec" by His hand, and it was
His totich wihch unstop tb heavy

Frrs of those pitiable pallet s that we
could form any appreciative conception
rf what it moartt for Chr,st to l..y His
hand upon the lepers. They were
ther things that He must netfs touh.
and so it was in the course of ti o
that His own hand was touching a
bloody cross tree, and that at sunset of
that sad day He was laid gently down
upon the cold stone floor of the new
made sepulchre.
"How shall we ever come to realize
fully that He is an unchanged Christ
with whom we have to do, that it is
T
possible on a twentieth century Sab
bath morning to experience the to ch
of that same hand quieting some dis
temper of our life and lifting us np
into larger usefulness? He comes to
us ;n new ways when we began to re
alize the possibilities of touch which
lie in real fellowship with the master;
when we do not merely associate Him
With the fields and hillsides, of Gallll'e,
but place Him amongst the surroui d
lings of today's life. A Pissot has ren
dered a real service to mankind in
painting that graphic series of scenes
whf reinv Christ lives ; and moves
anrongst the sui round! ngs of His ear
thly life. T eannot but think, however,
that another has caught the more help
ful Idea of a present Christ 1 n
near "fellowship with us in his portrayal
of ottr Savior rvealing Himself to two
amazed disciples as they sit at a mod
ern table' in a worklngman's house,

clothesu There is no halo about theBa-
viors Mead, the; marks of toil are seefi
plainly on al I and the Impression olr '
today is completed by the glimpse ob
tained through a window of the grimy
stack of a neighboring factory.
"It Is the faith picture of our Savior,
set in the background of our life, that
makes Him a near and present one and
that brings the real experience of His
touch. And as we grow Into the knowl
edge of this fact which His presence
occasions.
"First, a wholesome restraint. It is
related of Florence Nightingale that.
when she even as much as entered the
hospital wards In the Crimean war
and word was passed that her gentle
presence was near at hand.men ceased
their complaints and quieted their im
precations by every reason of the re
straining effect of her presence. But
I mingled with this wholesome restraint
is that more potent restraint of whh
Paul speaks: 'For the love of Chri-t
eonstraineth us Yon may have he trd
of the maiden whose beautiful charac
ter and gentle demeanor endeared her
to all, and who constantly referred to
those who inquired after the result of
her life to a Uny locket ever suspened'
about her neck. One- day it was opened,
and there was found therein only thee
words: "Whom, having not seen,I love.'
But the touch of the master's hand
goes father, for it is His desire that
His way of dealing with us should be
our way of dealing with others. 'I have
given you an example.' In all this mat
ter of dealing with mankind there of
ten arise serious questions. Thus says
one:
" 'What sljall I do to be just?
What shall I do? for the gain
Of the world or its 'sadness?
Teach me, O Seer8,thati trat.
Chart me the difficult main
Leading out of my, sorrow and mad
ness: . ;
Preach me the purifying pain.'
t
Shall I wrench from my fuige the?
ring .
To cast to the tramp at my door?
Shall I tear off each luminous thing
To drop in the palm of the poor?
What shall I do to be just?
Teach me, O ye in the light, -x
vVhom the Door and the rict. nittrn
trust r
My heart is aflame to be right,'
Another answers:
'What shall you do to be just?
How shall you. work for the gain
Of the world in its sadness?
Seek hot the seers, but distrust
Guides who with creeds would enchain
Seek yet rather the prophet whine
kindness
Breaks up the kingdom of pain.'
Yes take from your flngerthe ring,
But not for the tramp at the door;
Turn its gold into coin that will briu
Relief to the pain of the. poor. ,
Care if this will be just;
Think best of him who was light,
Whom the poor and the rich alike trust
So that you know you are right.'
"It is for the King's Son ,anl
Daughters to adopt the King's met'i
c ds. This is by far the harder way, ana
probably because it is the Chrfst--li1wj
way, is not the world's method. Oui
Savior's example can never be effect
ively followed by mere resolutions, en
actments, petitions, memories, con
ventions, conferences, the study ot
problinis and questions, nor through
theses nor essays, nor even througn
anything that strives to work
with men as masses and classes. It Is
alone through actual, personal touch

of this world Is to be wrought ouc

eye must search eye; before one life
can warm another into Larg, iisefhl

makes us beneficial to manklhd tl!at
which renders us hearthtihgry to be
helpful In Christ's way to othersY ' '
And now, young ladies, whom will
you touch? The conspicuously heroic
fields are reserved tor but tfie tew. The
first thing with which most Of us come
into contact is our home. lUeTew pic-

parents' faces I see a commingling of
pride and hopeful expectations that
this one, for whom, perhaps real sacri
fice has been made, may show forth a
life sweetened and cultured-into larg
er sympathy and helpfulness,! see upon
the younger faces of the., household an
expression, half timid, of an instinctive
questioning whether the returned fbne
will be loving and lovable as before
"It Is just here in your home life
that you can begin to succeed or begin
to fail. Do not await the fancied com
ing of some supposedly heroic or ro
mantic field of lifework, but begin at
once to show what you are and .what
you've gained in a sympathetic life
lied in the nearest surroundings
which present themeselve3. But re
member that weherever you touch, to
be of lasting value, it must have in it
the power which comes only by person
al acceptance of Christ as your Savior.
"There ti e those who move gracious
ly through the world by reason of re
finement, education and cultivation,
and their touch tempers and refines,
but in the end it is ever found lack
ing in those permanent elments of
which Paul speaks when says 'Christ
in us the hope of glory, so that 'I
live, yet not I, but Christ liveth In me.
I commend to you this as a worthy
ambition. A life so touched with Christ
that it becomes to others an image,
beautiful and inspiring, of the Christ-
life."
