Rev. w. H. Wakeham Delivers a
Powertul Sermon to Large .
Congregation
Union Thanksgiving services were
held, yesterday morning. in the East
Avenue Methodist Church. There was
a large attendance. ahd the other pas»
tors of the Second and Third Districts
participated in the exercises. The ser-
mon was especially helpful, and was
delivered by the Rev. W. ii. Wake
ham. of the South Norwalk M. E.
Church, whose topic was “Some Mento-
rials for Thanksgiving."
The text was from Joshua 4:21—
“What Mean These Stones?"
Bible readers are familiar with the
setting of the text. how Joshua led the
lsraelites over the river Jordan into
the promised land and there built a
monument of stones, taken from theI
bed of the river they had just crossed,l
that in the future. when‘their children
should ask what mean these stones,l
ltliey should say. the Lord. God. dried
ion the waters of Jordan before you
guntll ye were passed over. as the Lord
iGod did at the Red Sea.
l llnving spoken of the common prac
ltice of erecting memorial stones, the
preacher pointed out that we no longer
,thlnk of God as making intervention
.in the affairs of men. as though he
were not with them constantly, as the
abiding force of their lives. The old
idea is figured forth in the "watclri"
isuch that whenever it got out of or.
lder and nestled “fixing." the Great
\\'utchlnnker would give it attention.
otherwise it was supposed to run it.-

tion that certain German generals
seemed not only to have gone over to
the theory that might makes right, but
that they glorified in it. But in accord-
ing to the eternal laws of God the
“scrap of paper" is to be reckoned
with. The law of righteousness is
simply God‘s way of doing things, and
God is not going to full.
The preacher then took up the law
of kindness, as just as fundamental to
religion as is the power that makes for
righteousness. indeed, it is the motive. .-- _..- -.
