is niwinriy from a different angle in hlu littroductlon ho suld he was brutalled to be present on this anniversary occasion und wus feel ingly touched at the tpkon uf christian fellowship manifested by the presence of the mtstor and congregation of th methodist church the morrjlng sermon was based oi j cor is most gladly therefore will i rather glory in my nnirmltles that the power of christ may rest upon me this is a hard saying said th preacher but paul was proud to turns t of all his weakneasos ha found legi timate food for pride hypochondriac glorias 4n their illnesses and ullmentfl because of their unholy pleasure in pkin for pains sake this ht abnormal and unnatural the apostle did not stand in that category ills mnd wah natural and he set an example for every man who desired to get the best out of uff there wus nothing tho atkisues words to cause astui ishment or despair he pictured tho experiences of his own life his words are as applicable to your ialns and infirmities as to his own- there is no warrant in his worde for encourag lng anything which would interfere with the comfort of life the apostl thought only of his usefulness thrice he prayed to ood that hl thorn in the flesh might be takau away that he might be more useful the mind is fascinated by pauls experience h exults in it all that tho kwer o christ might be magnified inul boast ed in his handicaps because be knew that but for them his usefulness would be minimised he exulted and glori fied in his limitations the incarna tion of christ and his sufferings on the cross when god uuumnl these limitations were nujirnnn manifesta tions or divinity in the presence of the limitations tho barriers und tho handicaps which you cannot change you have the contribution uf power and strength and goodness we are born for service not for the fulfilment of our own desires the evening discourse caused the luth psalm lo come into the limelight in an imprrrsslve roannerv the text was the 13th and 13th versos this lsalm the preacher said is an exhor tation of a soul which has passed from darkness into light a proof of the supreme greatness of tho lsalm is found in tho fact that it is anonymous it has a wonderful adaptability it may used by all people of all na tionalities at all times therefore it is a universal paajm giving expression to the heart in praise and prayer to ood the psalmist first asks the ques tion what shall i render unto the lord cur jail uls benefits toward mot then he answers his own cjuesilanj ry the answer wo know that tho psalmist is not udhertng to the old moaalo law it teaches us to offer sacrifices to god to show our appreciation of his grati tude but the psalmist says that he will usk and receive more mercies from the lord even tho cup uf salvation we are apt to think upon the isalmlst as a selfish man seeing that he says he will show hla gratitude by asking for more this is our mistake wo read the rlble in a vagua wy under standing very little uf tho truth to be found in it we should challenge the psalmist at this point and hot let it pass the deepest thought in man is his thought of ood a mans cunoep- tlon uf god determines his character he cannot rise higher l hull his thought of ood what think yu of your mgkorr this is lnd1 u serious luettlon when iur thought of ood dominates und controls our whole life ooda goodness wg asaum as the coming of the morning sun or thv darkness of the night we honor ood by so doing dos this not show honor to jods justlcey christ commands us to kiv whem w di not oxpect to receive anything hi return if this is standard set for us by ood will ood do lesr quality should ulwuys b considered ureatorj thun uuuntlty tin uunltty of ood gondii is us largv us the quantity if wu know upd as the psalmist did
