ANDREWS: At St. Andrew’s the pastor‘ preach? ed twice. In the evening. the ..ser- mon was on the Babeof Bethlehem, and the music appropriate to the theme. ‘ Mr. Macmillan’s text was ; “Let us now go even unto Bethlehem and see this thing whichis come to pass” Three classes of people sought the new-born infant. 1. The shepherds: 2. The wise men. 3. The soldiers. With the dust on their garments and the song of the angels in their ears the shepherds came to the spot. They stand for the simple and lowly e-the great mass of the people, the hope of any nation in peace or war. The centuried experiments in govern- ment have discovered that the voice of the people is the safest rule and the strangest bulwark to them that govern. These have always sought The church must help them Christ. in their quest. The church that does not draw them to its services is defective. It must draw them not by sensational methods but by revel- ation of the Babe the shepherd’s sought. The common people must. be made to hear Christ gladly, but not merrily. Wherever the Babe is revealed the shepherds will be. The wise men though idolators sought Christ. That indicates that there are those outside the church who shall be saved and that true wisdom always‘ worships Christ. They were eastern magi, fire wor- shippers, who built fires on the tops of towers and worshipped before them. They came the nearest of all idolators. to a spiritual concep- tion of God. They worshipped the defect in their lives. They the Babe. There are those outside the pale of the church who shall be saved. The bible is a broad book and often reâ€"5 bukes the narrowness of its readers. true worshipper but. was told that there were 7000 who had not wor-a shipped Baal; the disciples wanted to ‘ forbid a man who cast out devils but followed not them, but Christ said, “Forbid him not.” Peter was taught the same lesson . There are saints outside the evanâ€" gelical churchesâ€"in the Greek and the Roman Catholic churches. The Roman Catholics are accused of say- ing that there is no salvation out- side ‘that church.

It would have been improper in a Jewish temple,but the veil was once torn in twain and now the people who worship are holy and not the church in which they worship. True wisdom warships. I know there are philosophies that do not. But they are not true wisdom. That which declares that everything is God, and that he has his highest o we by spiritual experience know a God who is no such abstractior That which says that everything created itself ,by chemical action is foolishness, thofigh taught by 1qu- ley ; for we know a God who has made all things and who by his Son has spoken to our hearts, and our testimony is corroborated by thous- ands. . . Kant the greatest philosopher said the starry heavens, the other imperative Webster' said his greatest thought was that of his personal responsibilâ€" ity to GocL So examples of the highest. wisdom might be cited .to prove the true wisdom worships with the magi at Bethlehem. The Wisest are the 'humblest; the greatest are the lowliest. ‘ . The soldiers of Herod sought Christ to kill him. Herod hated a child. How can anyone hate a babe? Selâ€" fishness can make. a man hate with such ridiculous unreasonableness. as to make us 'ashamed of our race. There are people so insanely conceit- ed that they hate their prosperous competitors. Some areso lazy that they hate the successful worker. It is thus in business competition. But it ‘may be that this competition ~w1ll yet do away with the competition of war that more cruel competition of the past. In politics and policies we should look at the interests, of our opponents. In advancing pro- this great principle. We must. not put any scheme before truth and Jus- tice. He who does not, hates the Babe, for that is the teaching of Bethlehem; and the man who . hates Christ or Christianity will one» day cry,“Lord, Lord!" and hear thereply "What me 41- to..‘.doi.w3thy9§?£$; ,3. place to them; W.“ a .cnurch ,with. lChristmastide. the people out of it, is nothing more ‘saint . .SUCh igiving is born in our consciousness a. meeting as we had here on Friday ‘of the All-Giver. night would seem to a.

The hall was beau- tifully decorated with flags and bunt- ing [for the occasion, and the recep: tion committee soon made the stuf dents feel at home. The program was well rendered and well received. Among those who favored the large- audience were Miss M. MagWOOd, Miss Edna. Beall, Miss Ross, Mr. Routley and the popular L.C.I. glee club. Mr. Harstone’s and Mr. Taylor’s speeches were very interesting indeed. were also very much pleased to have Mr. Stewart with us and hope this is not his last visit.
