WHITE AT BAP. TIST CHURCH TODAY Dr. White preached yesterday from the text. Homans 12:1, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mer cies of God." A grown man ought not to be satisfied with an easy re ligion. Tliis letter is addressed to a noble and chlvairlc band of Chris tians in Rome and is written by a man of the most splendid heroic type, therefore, you find the book written for those who would be he roes in Christ. Three things are contemplated lin this book, tlrst. a noble appcsl. To a noble appeal a motive. For a noble appeal a measure of consecration and] service. : ' Some years ago we found men were not taking the part they should in thc church life and work. They said tl>ey wanted sentimentality and! superstition done away with, and the j only think that papeals to them is the appeal of love and sympathy, the appeal that has caught the key of the cross. For many centuries the church that was in nower tried coercion and persecution, but we need very differ ent methods, appealing to the will and the highoBt there is in man. When Paul said "I beseecli you,"i it was the appeal of a man who had < heeded the .appeal. Paul was a very i different character from Saul of Tar sus, he now had love where formerly he used force and persecution. Paul had.been opposed to Christ honestly and strong'.v. but on the way to Da mascus he had heard thc tender lov ing voice and his heart was melted ann love came to reign supreme In his life. So now Paul hnd become the apostle of great persuasion. He him self has been constrained by tho love of Christ and because he knew men's needs ho in love sought, to give them | what they needed. From the time of Paul tr. this day the world has never j failed to yield to an appeal of love. The motive given them i* the greatest possible "by the mercies of C?d." In finito measure. Paul alwaya pulls the voil from in front of the cross and shows thc love of God as lt is in Je OFFICIAL WAR (By Associated Press.)

He Broke of God .In nature. In the sun, the stars?, thc mountains. Beginning with the message, "Unto you ?8 born this day a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." A Saviour who ls able to ?ave to the uttermost. Only three great human needs caused by first, sin, sorrow, death. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and sin hasn't changed, it ls just UH awful, Just us horrible as over and more awful in its activity. Sociology can't get it, philosophy can't get it, theology even can't get at it. It demanda a Saviour who has grappled with it 'and over come. And sorrow, too, ls unchang ing, just as much a fact as sin. Sor row is humanity, permanent portion, and sorrow the same yesterday, to day, and forever, ls met by JeBUs. the same yesterday, today, and forever. Finally death. Every ono must face this, the last enemy-Death. And no man can meet it alone. In the face of death, we are powerless. Our Sav iour is a great Saviour, because he doeB for us all thc things we cen nr.*. do for ourselves. He overcomes sin, corrow, and death, and wc can triumph in Him. The .subjects for today are.
