'COME T0 CHRIST' FOR LIFE ETERNAL Is the Plea of Rev. Robert McDerment in an Inspiring Sermon (By Staff R er) Bowmanville, Oct. 24--"If we are anxious to know the mystery of life and the mystery of death, let us come to Christ," counselled Rev. Robert McDerment, M.A, at St. Andrew's Preshyterian Church last night, "Come to Christ," reiterated the speaker, "who said 'I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man cometh unto The Father but by Me' "No man.comes in contact with Our Lord Jesus, without deriving benefit," declared the minister, "and as ex- amples I might quote the robber on the cross, who became saved, Nicode- mus who refused to be prejudiced by the talk of others, and Simon Peter, who denied Jesus, and then, at a look from His Master, became the most zealous of the apostles. "The question sometimes arises," continued Rev. Mr. McDerment, "as to how we may come into personal contact with Christ since He is no longer on earth. Yes, He left this earth for our good, but He has left us His Comforter, the Holy Bible, in which commands and promises are written," pointed out the minister. It is up to us to study His precepts upon them," announced Rev. Mr. McDermot, "otherwise what good is this holy book to us?" "We are far too apt to take our conception of Our Lord from our neighbors," charged the minister, "and not from His Word. But we should follow the example of Nicodemus, and know Him personally before we pass judgment on Him, which is simply the same right we would extend to any man," claimed the speaker. "When Philip told Nathaniel that 'this is the Christ who was promised to us by Moses." Philip countered with 'Can any good come out of Nazareth?' to which Philip, without wasting time arguing, replied, 'Come and see.' " ex- plained the minijster. "This is what we say today, 'Come and see," and if the spirit is touched we will cry out, as did one who was saved, 'Father, what wouldst Thou have me do?' Then do," counselled the speaker, "whatever is set you, no matter what your neighbours say." "There is no argument whatever to be used to convince another person," concluded Rey. Mr. McDerment, "only say, 'Come and see.' That is sufficient." VARSITY STUDENTS DROWN SORROWS (By Staff Reporter) Bowmaty lt, Oct.
