Rev. S. P. Fairbanks, pastor of
the East Al'enue M. E. Church.
preached to a large congregation. last
Sunday morning. from the text:—
Behold. I stand at the door and
knock; if any many hear nly voice
and open the door, i will come in to
him. and will sup with him, and he
with me“ Rev. 3. 20.
He said in part:—
The condition of the church in La»
odicca at this time was thoroughly
displeasing to God. They were in a
worldly and backslidden condition.
They had deteriorated, and having
lost their first love their zeal for God
had become but a memory of things
that once were: a high water mark
on the bunks of ii stream now grown
sluggish nnd stagnant and on which
the slimc of inactivity and spiritual
miasma brcatlied it‘s foul odor in the
face of heaven.
' God had sharply rebuked their half-
heartedncss and warned them that
unless they repented he would spew
them out of his mouth. And yet; lis-
-ton. "Behold i stand at the door and
knock: if nny mun hear my voice and
open the door. 1 will come in to him.
and will sup with him. and he with
me."
This word. Behold. is a very famil-
iar one in the vocabulary of Jesus.
All the words of Jews Were gracious
wordsrin :1 very (loop and Wonderful
sensc they were fllll of significance.
Never man spake its this man. He had
something to say that was well worth
the attention of any and of all. Be-
llold! It arrests attention; this is
enmething you can't rifford‘to miss;
this is important, indeed of the great-
est importance. This is the whole
gospel: you cannot allow a word to-
trying. to attract the. qf-‘
pup. God is I
tion of ll world. How heedless is the
world of God's “Behold.”

"‘Whosoever will lct. him take of the

heareth say. Come. And let him that
is nthcrst say. Come."
And yet. God is not satisfied with
that. Hc has sent his messengers
commissioned of High Heaven who all
down through the ages have deliver-
ed His message. "Behold. I stand at

sage comes to you. I. The Lord of
