...evening. He chose as the text of his sermon John vs 17; "But Jesus answered them, My Father worked even until now, and I work." In these words Jesus justified himself for healing the lame man on the Sabbath. He had a flash of insight into the purpose of God, and understood that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. But His words have a larger significance than this. They show how deeply conscious Jesus was of God's working everywhere in the world, and how this consciousness was His inspiration, and may be ours...
...evening He took as the text for his address Psalm 107, 8th verse, "Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men." It seem unnatural the preacher said, that men should need to be exhorted to gratitude to God. Yet many devotedly pious people, while they feel the duty of gratitude, are certainly not spontaneously grateful. This is largely due to a wrong method of looking at puzzling questions of belief.

Religion is not something apart from man; rather it is indissolubly associated with his whole being. It is right living-the life of God in the soul...
...evening to hear the Rev. Lyman Abbott preach. Dr. Abbott took as his text, Matthews ix.: 22. The central idea of his sermon was that there is no purification without pain. The Bible, he says, dwells upon the remission of sin, rather than of penalty. Christ was a suffering God, for suffering is not imperfection, but the climax of character. It is suffering that reconciles man to God, and good men and bad men can be brought together only by mutuality of pain. The message then, of the New Testament, is that God stands knocking at the gate, suffering when...
