Rev1. Henry W. Stough, Addreaginf an Andienc at CaJTkry Baptist COHDMIICOD, MAfMS A PIGMY But fori All That. Dr. Ostrom Says He Is Worth the V ' ; Whole World. . v : Laat night's audience at the First Congregational church was a large one. The service opened with a half hour of goapet songs, In which ths congregation Joined heartily. ' Every seat in the chorus was occupied, and Director Hu lls beamed with pleasure Whether seated at his little organ, sending forth the smooth, sweet notes of his song, or leading the -large cborua under-his charge, the personality of this man is a powerful factor in the meetings' success. ' Dr. Ostrom'g theme for. the evening waa "A Broad Religion," and choosing nia text from Mat l;Xl, hs began a fer vent plea for an 1 acceptance of the Savior who had provided a great salva tion for great sinners. Hs said In psrt: "Everywhere In ths Bible man la rep resented great except when in contrast with Jesus. - Then ho Is meaner than pigmy. - Man la a great creature. think of what the martyred President Oarfleld said: - 'When 1 meet a boy feel like taking Off my hat to him, be cause I do not know ths greatneaa that is buttoned under his tiny jacket' - "Bo great ia man that he can become as purs ss ths driven snow, or lowsr than the beast; that -his passlona and moods swing lilts a penduIuihY- So great la man that ths possibility of his great neaa Is not always manifest, and when it becomes manifest It Is astonishing. So great Is man. that hs is rior-called ths csbln, not the hovel or ths hut, but the temple of tha Holy Ohost - Man is no trifling commodity; he is like unto a continent with tall peaks and soft vl leys, with rivers and lakes, with har bors and eoast lines. One man is worth ths whole world. . ' " t'Do away with tha contrast with Obd and man. and man goea so high up that hs la almost god. Tet withal man la a great sinner - as wall. 1 believe 1 In the depravity of man. - The Scriptures tell us that, we are born lit als Even ths little child needs oonstsnt watching and constant cautioning. - Take a .baby front the beat minister's family lit Ore gon, put him by himself snd he writ be come a downright heathen. ,."01d fashioned orthodoxy ' doea not need to prove ita right to your Indorse ment and mine. When I say old-faahr loned I do not mean that you must la dorse avert emphasis of every man who was rated ss orthodox a hundred years ago... I mean tha old orthodox shoe.

At the cloae of ths lervloe an after meeting was held, In which many strong testimonies wsrs given aa to tha power of the gospel to eave from sin. . ..

"When we come to speak of Justifica tion w engage la the uae of purely le gal terms; justification la a legal propo sition. : Ood's word is His law, and the transgressor needs to be Justified. Now, how can Ood fall to hold transgressor guilty Just becsuss he chooses to believe In Christ? There Is In the first place great need to emphasise tha dignity of tha law ia question. Ood's very nature Is wrapped up In 4 hat law; it ia indeed Himself. For that very reason it netter changes, and Ood Himself must needs be everlastingly opposed to sin.. This law . Is holy and Just It- rightly, ex presses what Ood la and what is beet for the creature. Ood must and will enforce It It is, moreover, honored only . by enforcement ''Now, -what has mors honored ' this law,, the suffering of transgressing hu manity or the death of Jesus Christ T Ths New Testament clearly proclaims that the greater honor of the law was secured by the death .of . tha Son of Ood.

He stands with tre mendous power for ths facta of . the Bible, and spenda neither . time nor strength In an sffort to peep around the corners of eternity. Those who be lieve that hell la aa endless duration of literal fire and brimstone might say thst Dr. Toy is preaching his doctrine. . But every one who believes at all in future retribution might make a similar claim. The evangeltat never describes hell, but ho takes the Bible and man's conscience as a proof that it actually exists, and oarrles you along in his argument by his overwhelming logic Thoss who believe that heaven . is a place of listless Inactivity - might say that Dr. Toy preaches his doctrine, but the evangelist doea not aay ao. lis preaches-ths great fact of heaven as eternal Joy, begun here on earth, -and no one who hears Dr. Toy from night to night can believe that ho would keep atil very long even In heaven, unices Christ would command him so to do. He preaches and exalts Christ, first,-last and alwaya, as the only wsy of salva tion, and by -his merciless logic strips man of every other dependence.

No stronger evidence could be given for the Increasing popularity of the South Portland evangelist than that by far the largest week nigh enos gathered tmldst the pouting rain to hear him last evening. Ton may call it by what name you choose, but It Is certain that Dr. Toy preaches an at tractive gospel.
