Clifford S. Weaver preach last Sunday
night from Jesus' answer to the ques-
tion of John the Buplist. He slated
that John was in prison for rebuking
iterod lor Ills sin. While in his dun-
geon he heard of the wonderful works
ol Jesus and sent his disciples to him
with this querry: "Art thou he that
should come or look we ror another?"
.Matt. 11:3. The speaker said that J?•
sus did not enter into a series of argu-
ments to convince John that he was
the one to come, but said to John's dis-
i iples no and tell him what you see
. ml hear. "The blind receive their
sight, and the lame walk, the lepers
are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the
dead are rait ed up. and I lie poor have
the gospel preiiched to them."
The thought which was pre-
rentoci by the speaker was that what
t ne does more than what one says de-
termines what one is religiously. At
the individual is judged by his works
for good so the church is judged by
what it does for' the human family.
That while the pagan religions had
:n en the religions of nations like Chi-
na. J. pan and India they had failed to
elevate the people. That they failed
to inspire their disciples to such good
•. r.rli as providing orphanages, san)-
tarium- and hospitals. The first one
of such institutions in Japan was tho
.' iirk of an Episcopal missionary. To
! liovv the power of the gospel when
preached and practiced, he cited the
'act that forty years ago the Emperor
ol Japan i -ited an edict that no Chil-
ian houlti be permitted to enter tli"
Empire. Today the present E i.peroi
he on of the former, is so lavorabl
to Christianity that the delegates to
tin world's Sunday School Convention
:re mar- iiing around the palace witn
•onas. The children sing: "Jesus
loves i:m• I know, for the Bible
tells nte .W
, nge has been wrought
of Christianity. Before
..g of missions the leper
ii lists, and no effort was made
ievlate their suffering. Now our
.isslons have asylums for them, and
hey have the gospel preached unto
them. Truly the gospel is the power
of God to save men and women from
lie corruptions in the world through
lust.
The speaker said '.hat the church
was doing the same work that Jesus
did. The spiritually blind are made
to see the beauties of the Christian
life, the deaf ears are made to hear the
plea for the needy ones, the lame nrr
made to walk, the leprosy of sti, is re-
moved and the spiritually dead are
raised up to a life of service. Jesus
.aid to his disciples that the works
ihat he did they should do ami even
greater works. There is no greater
work than saving souls from eternal
death.
1 could but think, while listening to
this discourse, of the great honor con-
ferred upon us weak creatures to il
low us lo have a part in such a mis-
sion. It .C. HORN.

The judge lacked Solomon's sword
for the supreme test, but lie had many
