IESIIIIIIII IN
Yesterday morning, in commem-
moration of Paardeburg. lhcro was held the special unnual service in St. James' (‘liurch, thc pastor. lIcv_ llr. T. F. Fullerton. preaching n splendid sermon appropriate to thc occasion. He selected his text ironi the 2-ith clmptcr of the Gospel of St. Matthew, verse iii: "lie that shall endure unto thc end, the same shall be saved." lie said in part:
“These arc striking words. Jesus
Christ stands on the edge of Gethse- mane, under the shadow of the cross; He utters this expression. Common experience tells us that it is easy to die in the excitement of battle. easy to resign ourselves to die when we _rave been tossed in pain for weeks or months. But to die as those splendid heroes died on the "Formidable" and on the “Blnclier” the other tiny. to go down standing peacefully und in health and strength, into the cold wa- ters to death, is to be a hero in the highest and noblest sense ot' that word. it requires a courage that not only appertuins to the body, but a cou- rage ths.t is rooted in the mind, a cou- rage that dwells in thc soul and reach- es to the throne of thc Great Eternal.
“When Jesu.; Christ uttered these
stern words, llc knew that there was before these disciples in the campaign of life an endless struggle; He knew that they would be in the centre of a great conflict, that they could not escape the melee no matter what they tried to do. But lie tells them that their very salvation is depending on thc manner in which they face their struggle. on their endurance. When all our hope is broken up like a ship- vrecked barque beneath our feet, when we are left alone on me wide wane of waters, then to keep the ideals that are implanted by Almighty God, to hold fast to moral right irrespective of all consequences. to lift the soul beyond all despair. to look into the darkness of thc years that lie before us-that is thc endurance that Jesus Christ demanded from liis disciples. that is thc endurance that llc is de- manding from us to-day. We find it not only in the outstanding horoes'ot’ history; we sec it in thc rank and file Jf those who are making splendid sa- :riflces for their loved ones at homo who in thc trenches. in the hour of rattle, arc voluntarily surrendering their lives for thc cause of freedom and righteousness. We see its oppo- sito. too, when men are ready to al- low the standlird of freedom to go unnoticed in the hour of peril. when non in their pessimism wail, ‘ls there L God? Will He ever do anything to :hangc the aspect of humanity?' _You 'emember when 'Gordon faced his 'iethscmanc with ull its loneliness in Khartouni. when ho realised that his death might occur at any moment; he iad that unbounded faith in God that inabled him to say ‘i soo my way as birds' their trackless way; but 1 shall trrive. arrivc undor the guiding hand Of God.‘
“’I`iic text shows us that tho chal-
‘eugc of God to humanity is endurance 'n cvorythiug--is sacrifice for the wol- ’aro of others. it tolls us to go for- ward in iil`c, struggling nobly for the highest, to go forward in thc fucc of trlbulatiou and poverty.
"You turn to thc man who has mario
success in comml-rcinl ilfo and hc will tell you what hc has endured in his physical life. in his manifold exper- ience. You turn to thc man in the State who is rich and full of honours and he will tell you of hard. laborious days, of thc persecution of foes and tho desortion of friends. But turn to the soldier who has survived the con- flict and ask hini why he wears the honours of his king and country and he will show you the scar that brought him near to the jaws bf death. lie will show you that he has ,endured the cross that he might gain the crown of honour. All over God's creation, all over human experience. there is clear- ly written this, that if you are prepar- ed to win life you must be ready to losc life; for unless you are ready to 'yield you cannot gain that something greater you are aspiring to reach.
"You soo some young men to-day
who have surrendered their lives. their limbs. .if need be for the Empire in this hour of crisis. Let me say to them that we honour their splendid sacrifice. that it is only by this moans that we can work out our national des- tiny at this time." Dr. Fullerton then referred .in able terms io the heroes of the South African campaign. and In this connection paid a high tribute to the memory of the late Mr. Lord. who died in Charlottetown on Satur- day. In eloquent language the preach- er closed a rarely splendid sermon.

town on “ The Nature and Providence of God." lie selected his text from Job xiii. I5: " Even though He slay mo. yet i will trust in Him." ills Lordship first spoke of the necessity of a true knowledge of God as one means conducive to a good life. He then dwelt the naturo of God, Includ- ing His infinite wisdom, power and mercy, the Unity and Trinity of God and the work of God in the.croal.lon of the world, dwelling on the action of Divine Providence in the blessings and sufferings allotted to man.
In conclusion the Bishop urged his
hearers to accept all sufferings as sent by God as part of the designs of His Providence for His own honour and glory, and for the perfection of His creatures. As an example of the suf- fering allotted to man by God he cited the life of Joh, who was a rich and sanctified man. He wasstripped of his worldly wealth. deprived of his children and afflicted in his person. yet he retained his faith and in the face or temptation to accuse God of Injustice towards him he declared: " Even though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.”
