Show PREACHERS, PULPITS, SUBJECTS. The Theme Touched by the Ministers Who Teach or a Better World Beyond. Mrs. Jennie Caldwell, the evangelist from Chicago, spoke of loving the Lord as found in Luke x, 27. The Lord means exactly what the text implies, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with not a portion, but with all thy heart, soul, strength and' mind. To love God is to show the world that you are trying try-ing to obey his commandment. There are no such people as lazy, indolent and penurious christians. A true christian who loves his heavenly father does not possess such qualities. Don't forget to love our neighbor as ourselves, our-selves, which means that we must see that our neighbor is saved. Cry to the Lord to have him help us to touch our neighbor's heart. Love is the golden key that unlocks the heart and admits the light of God's presence. God helps all who call on him. The Hapttst. Rev. Dr. Murphy of Pueblo preached from "My God, my God; why hast Thou forsaken me?" We understand that all of Christ's disciples forsook him and fled when they should have stood by him. We infer that God had forsaken for-saken him. This was the only time Christ had addressed the Father in such peculiar expression. When the sinner prays this is the language he uses. How comforting that we know God will never leave or forsake us. Christ died and paid the debt of sin that all might be saved. Firet Presbyterian. Rev. Dr. McNiece spoke of the disappearance dis-appearance of Christ in a cloud, as recorded re-corded in Acts 1; 9. The coming and departure of Christ was heralded in the sky by a star and a cloud. The agony of Jesus and his ascending into heaven was in harmony with the love of God. Christ was born in poverty and endured en-dured the hardships of human life, and was betrayed and made the subject of false accusations. Ho endured affliction afflic-tion in soul and body, and there is no proof but that he died brokenhearted. Since ho reigns he has all power, and his church will triumph. St. Hark. The kingdom of heaven was the theme of Rey. Mr. Putnam's discourse. This period of the departing year reminds re-minds us of our swiftly passing life. The harvest is over and the leaves are falling to the ground. The appointing of the first of November as All Saints day should turn our thoughts to death and the dead. Death only brings the Christian nearer to the master. The church here is a school where we learn the lessons of life so needful when we depart from this life. First Congregational. Rev. J. B. Thrall spoke of our constant con-stant need Of Christ. This it is that keeps us from, sin and affords us peace and comfort: ..What a great Vacancy would exist without this presence. We feel it in our, loneliest hours, not in prosperity, but when the waters are rough and then it is that Christ calms them. Christ desires that we be united in his service and not permit contention conten-tion to rule our lives. Central Christian. The topic of B. F. Clay's remarks was "The Christian Life." Christianity is not responsible ..for the ills of life, but false religion is. We should live with a view of always being able to respect otujselves. The christian life demands sen-respect, and that we live so that God should be in our lifo and thoughts and then our actions will be right. St. Paul's. Show yourselves men was the subject sub-ject of a practical sermon by Mr. Lane, Let honesty abide between neighbors, and let us be men indeed and in truth. An American's idea of a man is high manliness. Life is real, although some people look upon it as pleasure. To be men is to be grand and noble. Let us step by step imitate the life of Christ. Y. M.
