CHRIST IS IN ALL WORK
Dr. Spencer'of Kansai City Elucidates the
PhiltAophy of Jesus.
MAN CANNOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE
Iter. Dr. Moore Discusses Materialism
as the (nrif of the Aae and
Modern lilrnla an Making
Christ a Failure,
Dr. Claudius n. Spencer of Kansas City,
editor or tli Central Christian Advocate,
pi cached to a largo congregation at tho
First Methodist church Sunday morning.
"Human society la divided Into two
classes," paid Dr. Bpenot r, "tho bread
eaters and the brradmakers the parasites
and tho produce. The first class Is so
mall as to be negligible, and It Is tho
second class that I shall discuss. How
could It bo sin for Christ to turn stonea
Into bread, as lie was requested to do by
tho tempter? Is that not what wo arc all
trying to do? The answer is a very simple
one an.) it is this: Jesus Christ win not
only the son of God, He was also tho son
of man, and because you and I through
all timet! must by these hands of ours, by
toll and by stain, turn the rocky flint Into
bread. Ho who was the brother of us all
took His place by lis Not only here, but
In the story of His life you will search In
vain for one poor Instance where in any
fashion He separated Himself from the
weakest and humblest. Whilst He was
always feeding the body and tho soul;
whilst unstopping the eyes of tho blind
and the ears of the deaf and exchanging
gladness for girments of heaviness, thero
Is no record that lie ever caused one blade
of grass to prow that He might havo a
pillow upon which to rest His bead.
"In unknown snyinfis of Jesus recently
unearthed In Egypt we find this: '1.1ft tho
Btono and thou slialt find Me; cleave tho
wood and thou shalt find Mo there.' In
any work done In the right spirit we will
find Christ.
"In His reply tn the tempter Jesus said
that men should not live by bread alone,
but on nil the words that proceedeth from
the mouth of Ood. Here tho plummet Is
cast Into the deepest depths of philosophy.
Ood did not mean thnt men should bo
slaves of the galley oar, of the railroad, of
the bank, of the field. What distinguishes
man from tho beast more than any other
trait, if he Is a man, la that he cannot
live by bread alone."
MATERIALISM fl'HSE OF THE AGE
Life of Jesns AVonld Re a Failure
from Mntorlnllntit' Standpoint.
Designating materialism as tho curse of
this age, worse In the west than In other
parts of the country, Rev. Dr. Moore, pas
tor of Westminster lYeshyterian church,
on Sunday morning mercilessly dissected
tho Idols and the Ideals of every-day life
as false anu misleading.
"It is not the theoretical materialists who
do the most harm," said Dr. Moore, "but
the practical materialists, than whom the
philosophical materialists are much better
off.
"We live on a rolling prairie, with no
mountain peaks to raise our minds to high
ideals above the earth. There la no myste
rious ocean to suggest a sounding of the
depths beyond our ken. I-Ike the man with
the boo or Hunyan's man with the muck
rake, w are bending down. We do not
see the crown above our heads. We are
more inti rested In tho prices of meat and
grain and cattle than in the price of eternal
life."
Tho preacher deplored the tendency to
make the children look to tho successful
man In a purely business sense, as the
Ideal citizen aijil to muke his accomplish
ments tho measure of the highest success.
"Let us hold over against these Ideals,"
lie said, "the life of Jesus Christ. Measured
by them It will be pronounced a most
egregious and disastrous failure. With
what disgust and wonder the rich men of
Nazareth must have regarded His utter dis
regard of everything material from early
boyhood to the be ur of His crucifixion.
Always poor, defaulting His social position.
the friend of lowly fishermen, publicans
and sinners. His early followers drifting
away from lllm, one of His chosen twelve
betraying Him and all of them forsaking
Him in the final moment, ending His life
on the cross between two thieves no more
flat, complete and disastrous failure was
ever recorded, from the materialistic point
of view.
"But now we Know His life was not a
failure. It shines on the world today with
such a blinding brilliance wo can hardly
Imagine its glory. The silence of divinity
was broken to proclaim Its surpassing Sue
cess when God said: 'This is My beloved
Son, In whom I am well pleased.' Out of
the sepulcher come the waters of the river
of life. From the cross comes the redemp
tive prower that has saved the world. The
crucified hand has turned the whole course
of history. The keynote of Christ's life is
found In "He that doeth the will of God
abidoth forever." We must revise our Ideals
of success so that the will of God may be
done on earth."
During the offertory William Kennedy
sang "My Aln Countrle" with sympathetic
und pleasing effect.
MEN SlfUlLU HEAD THE 1I1HI.E
Too Many People Are as Children In
Hcllaloua Initiative.
At Bt. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran
church Sunday morning Rev. I Groh spoke
on tho subject, "No I'lace for the Word."
His plea was Cor u conscientious reading
of the Ulbl ana a permanent place for the
scriptures In the heart of every man. Con
cerning the prevalent neglect of the Bible
he suld:
"Too many of us read the Bible like
Moody says he hoed corn. Whenever ho
stopped hoeing ut noon he had to mark
1:1s place with a stick so that he could tell
when he went to work after dinner Just
where he had left off. Just so when he
read the wjrd us a young man, ho had to
murk his place with a pencil It Is true
lie read It every evening, 'otherwise he
might not tunc ben able to sleep, but ho
read it In such a poor way.
"Some people get all their religion from
th sermon. In His respect they never
get beyond chlldh ' These people who
never read the Bible, and so never get
anything religious first hand, are but as
children in religion.
"Why should not the reading of the
Bible have a definite place In a man's life?
There suems to be two reasons. The first
Is that people have no time for n. The
cither Is that the mind Is occupied with
no many other things that there 1b no room
lor It. ben people say of a man, 'He Is
u great reader,' 1 know what that too
often means. It Is that he reads things
which are not only not at all useful, but
which are absolutely harmful.
"The man who reads the Bible Is a
hungry :uau wishing to be filled; the man
who does not Is a sick man in religion.

PASTOR SPENCERIS INSTALLED
Congregation of Third Treabyterlait
Tnraa Out Strouicly tireet
Ketv Minister,
Rev. John E. Spencer was formally In
stalled as pastor of the Third I'resbyterlan
church, Twentieth and Ix-avenwurth
streets, Sunday afternoon. The church was
crowded with an Interesting congregation
to witness the Impressive ceremonies.
Rev. W. II. Reynolds, pastor of the Cas
tellar Street Fresbyterlan church, acted as
president of the Presbytery during the
ceremonies. Other pastors participating In
the ordination and Installation services
were President M. B. I.i wrle and Revs. J.
J. Lampe and D. K. Jenkins of the I'res
byterlan Theological seminary: Rev. E. 11.
Jtnks of the First Presbyterian ! I?v,
J. K. Hunter of Dundee I'rei j terian
church.
Rev. E. H. Jenks preached the insiallatlon
sermon, the trend of which was to show
thai tlio uiisslou vt Christ was that of
a reformer, not to destroy the law as ex
pounded by tho prophets of the Old Testa
ment, but to fulfill the law and extract
from it the beauty and truth it contained
and to develop It for the letter compre
hension of the world. Christ smashed the
shell of the old law to produce its beau
tiful kernel, the germ of. life, needing but
Ills divine touch to make it perfect.
"The old forms were hut symbols of
something to come, and that coming was
the Christ. Tho old law was the crude
ore from which came tho perfected moral
law. The church Is for the outward cere
monies of our spiritual service. The true
worshiper worships God In his heart. The
church Is the body of Jesus Christ, but
it is not a church until It possesses the
spirit of unity In Christ."
Following the sermon Mr. W. W, Grlgor
Bang a beautiful baritone solo appropriate
to the spirit of the occasion, after which
Chairman Reynolds propounded the usual
constitutional questions of the Presbyterian
cliurch to the new pastor. The laying on
of bundfi followed, all of the ministers of
the litabj ui present iiorUulpatliui In
the ceremony, after which they extended
to Dr. Spencer tho right hand of fellow
ship. Rev. J. J. Lampe delivered tho charge
to tho new pastor, after which came the
installation hymn, when Rev. D. E. Jenkins
gave the charge to the people and members
of tho church. Rev. E. H. Jenks delivered
the Installation prayer, and the formal pro
gram closed witn the hymn, "Blest Be the
Tie That Binds."
The benediction was pronounced by Rev.
J. E. Spencer and after the benediction
the members greeted tho new pastor most
heartily.
