DR. WHITE PREACHED VERY INTERESTING SERMON SUNDAY NIGHT SUN IS OUR FRIEND God Made It All and All Things Are Working Together For Good ie Summary Taking as Iiis text, "I Saw an An gel Standing In tho Sun," Kev. 10:17. Pr. John E. White, pastor of tito T/lrst Baptist church, on Sunday evening preached a very interesting and highly instructive sermon.

"Among tho moBt startling vislonB of John on Pattaos is this of my text. "I Saw an Angel Standing in. the Bun.", "Now lot ?B begin with the propos ition that to the man Who, saw it thia was a real spectacle..This IB noll tb. assort tbut there waif in actual, . l?ti?iat. physical fact, an Angel stand ing lu tho sun. Jt i?; simply to say ' that fo John tho sun hod suddenly assumed a now glory and in its blaz ing center for. him. appeared a vorlj table beauty with a message on Itu ? . li jib. Now we insist that John ac tually visualized thi?i Angel standing in. the. Bun. H? was. a f ir. lt, lu hld inspired an# Inspiring distinction that he could SCO i:uno than Other, people.

Qf the behold- | cri Clod hung John's rarest pictures ott tho Inside It is in this View .that bia visions passoBs their practical l? : s^ucton for us. If we had come upon the old man when ho waa wit- , . ing the words of tho. text and had said, 'wo do nata oe* any Angels jd the Siih,' ho would have answered lu bia grandfatherly way, 'Little child* 'I vrifc,, don't you wish', you cquid?' ?

Su^'a??^?'?l Angel. Tho di.Hculty which occurs at once is that they should be seen together. We have all M'fn the Sun j and many of us have a very respect ful acquaintance with bun, Sidney Lan!or used to take bis hat ott and say, "Good morning, Friend Sun." i Wo are . living under the great order j of a Solar System. Our world, with other worlds, revolve around the sun. i We recognise therefore that the sun is a symbol of supreme potency - in the material universe, lt stands in authority over the realm of matter. Tho sun la matter craioned, and rad iant. Therefore, John uaw the sun under skies of perfect blue and | through the limpid ether, 'coming forth from his chamber as a bride groom and rejoicing aa a Btrong man to run a race.' But be uaw more than that, ho saw an Angel standing in the sun. This is the astonishing matter. Wo do not know much about Angels, but wo are taught that un Angel ls a spiritual being belong ing to au order outside the material universe. The sun and the Angels were understood as * of opposite worlds, one of matter and tho other of spirit. What John Baw was the tremendous truth that tho material universo and the spiritual universe, from the divine point of view which Clod rqrmits him to occupy, ?rn * unity and not a disunity, in other words we aro living In a universe and not a multi vcr HO. What a difference it; would make In our understanding of human lifo and our appreciation of the world we live In If We could see that everything ls full ot God and His Majesty. Wo would not then wor ship our bodies as we do, but would reverence our souls more. We,would not look upon the wonders of ?tature oxcapt. to full upsn our knees, and cry, "Holly, Holy, italy." The Icy grip of materialism on the heart of man would be broken. The almighty dollar would no longer boar its me tallic visage n" creed, hilt the' "God In. whom wo trust," Tbe\Angel in the Sun Is the Spiritual within the ma terial. As wc sea this and permit Us truth to govern our lives, we >are by so much better and finer tuan the brute. Large Lives In Small Placea. "This text yields another very practical j truth ; ? ?- John's, experience with the sun on Patrhoa JB the; human, OK per I cn co with thc common place. He; was,an exile upon a small island In the ?gean Sea: His'rang?, ot ac tivity was desperately narrow. No companions to talk to, no quiet nooks of Bhade of . mediation, no comrade ship of: Ufo except the swarming ssa birds and tho Insects of. his sim .burnt rock and no mutilo except tho monotonous flow of the tire*, soins, tea.

John wus enabled to take on enthusiastic In terese in his world In Bplte of tho mean.estate ot his situation.. Noone thinks cf John's Ufo there as a dull life. The book of Revelation fairly shouts with laughter and a heavenly mer riment ripples through its pages, lie saw Anne?.i above and shout him by day sporting like nymphs in tho sun. By night he waa serenaded by the choira of heaven in rapturous songs. The sun no longer oppress* ed him. He welcomed it,each morn" Ins With B shout..

Some men and women who live in the country rosent Its loneliness and simplicity and men and women in the city long to escape ita tiresomo toll and pent up fatigues. "May I tell you the truth about ourselves? The trouble is In us, not in our circumstances. We wont to be somebody else and somewhere else and do something else. The truth ?9 would you bo miserable any whore and anyhow. The escape from the commonplace ls impossible for the man who cannot see the Angel In the sun. The only change as to our cir cumstances' that is really effective ls the chanf.% of our mental and moral attitude towards' them. At bottom there ls in life only what one puts into lt.

For several months to come we are to have much experience with the great sun in .the heavens and we aro going to frown at him many times. Some of you will run away to the mountains or to the seashore to avoid the sun- Oar prevailing state of mind during tho Bummer will bo a protest against the sunshine. We will, woo the man in the muon, hut how little affection will be bestow upon ?the Angel In-the sun.
