Show SERVICE OP SOiNG Exceptionally Fine Programme at Phillips Congregational Church. Every seat in the auditorium of the Phillips Congregational church waa filled Sunday evening at the servico of song, which, besides the regular servico, was rendered. It wan an evening of tho regular reg-ular monthly song service of the church dholr, and the programme was exceptionally exception-ally line. The programme was as follows: Soprano solo, "O. 1-ove Divine," Mrs, Edward Ed-ward Mooro; solo, "Abldo With le." C. J. Nettleton, contralto solo, "The Plains of Peace," Miss Corlnne Harris. The quartette, with Miss Ethel M. Nettleton and Prof. Sullivan as accompanists, rendered ren-dered the following selections. "'Charity,' "Lovely Appear" and "Lo, tho Day of Kest Dccllneth." Sermon by the Pastor. The sermon by Rev. P. A. Simpkln was from Matthew xxvil., 22. In part It was of Pilate, who beforo the hateful mob that was boiling Willi evil passion seeking to destroy Jesus, nsked the question, "What tntii shall l do with this Jesus which is called Christ?" Pilate had just as much of an answer to give us to nls own attitude, atti-tude, as aid each of those who tilled the hull of Judgment- whero h- sat. . Living the Best. The speaker then said that In living the Hie of Clirlst we are living tho best, He taught men how to live. Men know how lo live and die, to serve and suffer, to battle and win In Jesus Christ. It Is of little use that a man listens to Jesus's words unless he can have, too, Jesus's life. A moral culture Is not enough. Men who believe In tho highest morals need a power other than tholr own. It Is not to be found In tho commandments; It Is to be found In the person of Christ, who expressed ex-pressed the highest. |
