Hear AM* Speaker Tell Them of Wondrous Fit ting School of Christ ( At tiic First Presbyterian Churcli Sunday the harcaiuurcut<: surnion b? ^ro the Frazer Fitting School was praaoh?d hy th* Rev, J. E. Wallace, of Westminster. It.wa? a mose eloquent ??Seenrec !:> which Jesus as the Christ waa" offfc'rcd aa the solution of life's problems. Th/ sermon was widely commented upon us being especially appropriate. The following is n brief synop&h; of what was said. Texi. Idatt XI:2?. "Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am mock and lowly at heart: and ye shall lind rest unto your souls." Subject: The fitting school ot Christ,. These versea arc au invitation from thc headmaster of the greatest fitting school lu thc universe to come to him und learn the greatest lessons e of life. Christ's servant are to bel" also disciples learners. His school for them is his yokes. Ile is the mas ter artist of life audi we must be ap prenticed to. bim and learn to live na lie dees. We can never get the most out. of lifo uur put the most into life, until we have learned Borne lessons from tho. yoko. The li rsl ia the lesson of service. Tho yoke meana service, and no man can become truly great without lt. "Whosoever will be great among yoi* let him bo your minister: end who soever will be chief among you let him bo your servant." We will learn the why of service. Wa can never learn why we should give our lives to the J ?j service of Christ ana man. when it is Jv net ?ppre^?ited end When thc world offers so much for lt until we learn 11< lt from Christ's service to us at such a great sacrifice. Wis wi!! learn th* how of Christian sor vice, roany williup workers are fail becau&c they ar0 unprepared. The on ly, school to- fit us to he proficient ser vants ia the school of apprenticeship under the. yoke of actual experience with Jesus. Wc will learn also the Joy this earth affords is to bo found In the service of Pur fellowmen for Christ's ?uk?. I We learn, secondly, the lesson of character. If there ts anything great er, than what we do U is what we are, our character. Jesus ia supremely .fit ted, to teach, us character because he possesses lt. He ts ''Meek and lowly lp heart", which Uv the. climax of all true character.
