Cultnre, Organisation Church Building, Sunday , School Work Placed Among the Oains While Lack of Old Time Zeal and Spiritual Fire Are Chief Last evening at Central Methodist Church Mr. Abernethy read a Scrip ture lesson from the cghth chapter of Komans and - the subject of his sermon was "Gains And Losses in Religion." " His text was the tenth verse of the seventh chapter of Ec- clesiastes, and the sixteenth verse of the sixth, chapter of Jeremiah. 'Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these f for thou dost not enquire wise ly concerning this. "Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for yonr souls. But they said we will not walk therein.." J Sinee the days of our fathers, said Mr. Abernethy, wonderful changes have been made. It is an age of phe- nominal progress, the age of steam and electricity, tbe age of marvelous light. Old policies, old watchwords, old shibboleths are being tried in the fires. The habits, customs and thought of our fathers are changing. Only the rolling hills, the great plains and the mightv seas remain unchanged.- There are some who look upon these changes, with alarm. The pessimist look hack to the religion of our fath ers and in the present day he sees nothing but evil and is constantly holding forth the red flag of danger. On the other hand there is the opti mist,, who looks upon the, present jib I full of rich blessings and the future of pleasant prospects. To him only) the past is vile.

But, continued Mr. Abernethy, while we have gained much .in culture we have lost much in ancient fire.

I he modern preacher is trained in philosophy in literature and science but with all his training he is lacking in spiritual tire. Another gain presented was that of charity, the chanty that has made the demonstrations more harmonious and worked for nnity among religious bodies. Against this gain Mr. Aber nethy presented a loss of conscinos ness of God, declaring that no longer did- the Christian people "go around n the old Hebrew, spmt of never los ing sight of the fact that they lived . j d and had their bein in O a ; r : - ' -- "ne organization or tne emnrcn was another gain, the speaker declaring that by the aid of great business men me cnurou mo obbu oipu naern, nusmess-iiKo.iway out iu.
