Romans 1:16: "For I am not asham
ed of the Gospel, for it is the power
of God unto salvation, to the Jew
first and alto to the Greek," was the
text used by the Rev. John H. Grif
fith for the morning service at St
Mary's Sunday. Mr. Griffith preach
ed a particularly strong sermon, urg
ing his brethren to be more stead
fast In their service to the church and
in their civic responsibilities in or
der that the moral tone of the city
might be kept up to the very highest
standard. He spoke of the great pos
sibilities of the church, if those, who
composed it, fully realised the res
ponsibilities that rested upon them,
and did their full duty. He took to
task that class of church members
who failed to appreciate their obli
gations and the necessity for parti
cipating in the activities of the
church life, being present at the reg
ular exercises and rendering the ser
vice necessary to . the conduct of the
work. Speaking or the Lenten pe
riod, Mr. Griffith said, that as it was
the first Sunday in Lent it was the
time for stock-taking, and he wanted
his hearers to look over their past
year's work, see what had been ac
complished, the shortcomings, where
the improvements could be made, and
resolve to do better work during the
coming year. Mr, Griffith's sermon
was, listened to attentively and en
joyed by his audience.
