Dr. lliiiitliiKton HoIiIn I'ii I'iihcI IImIi iii'nx a the Ciirilliinl Virtue, Tho pulpit of tho Walnut Hill Methodist church was occupied Sunday morning by 1). W. C. Huntington, I). I)., chancellor of tho Nebraska Wesleyan university, who held up unselflshneEH ns tho true test of Christian ity. 1 1 In text wan tnken from the words of Paul, "For nono of us llvcth to himself." Tho speaker threw a Bomewhat different meaning Into tho phraso from that disclosed on a casual reading. "Tho olement of unselfishness, of self-sacrifice, Ifl tho distinguishing mnrk of tho Christian," said Dr. Huntington. "Whin Paul said, 'For nono of tut llvcth to himself he did not mean to Include tho self-seeking ngo in which he lived. Tho emphasis should rent on tho word 'us;' It wns the little nj ecmbly of Chrlotlnns to whom this single trait was peculiar. TIicto was a Jewlah and a Gontllo element In tho church which bade fuir to rent It asunder. Paul, a great man of two ages, observed that tho Gimtllcs looked nskanco at tho formalities practiced by tho Jows and that tho latter regarded tho Gentiles as without tho luw. His was the reconciling hand that brought them to gether; ho urged each ono to follow tho way that seemed to him right and allow the samo privilege to hlo neighbor. "UnlofH Paul's, words nro carried out and professors of Christianity glvo themselves for tho pleasure and profit of others It l Imposslblo for thorn to bo Chrlstlano under tho new testament. TheTo Is a selfish In stinct In rami which begins with his infancy and, unless thero Is a voluntary change, ex tends into manhood. The passion of self gratification llio beneath almost every crlmo in tho criminal code. Thero Is even n typo of religion which Is no better than solflshness, There aro many professors of Christianity who enter tho church simply that they may get something out of God. It Is a matter, of business, of Insurance pgalnK tho horeafter. Such professora havo no real Christianity and will never have until they realize that the religion of Jesus la made up of giving, not tiettlug." )U-SB'A .great Liqhf W SEJS? saving in gas bills jU z great many advantages (Try one and see.
