will of the king, God ward and manward.
... We may not find at hand every duty
specified, but the teachings and exam

sufficient data upon which to base our
action in specif io .things. The evils of

tha declaration: We hold these truths

BEGINS SERMON SERIES
Dr. Brougher Preaches on "Live as
Jesus Would" Movement ' ; r
Dr. 3. Whltcomb Brougher of the
White Temple began yesterday his se
ries of sermons on the "I4ve aa Jeaus
Would" - movement. . "The Mission of
Christ" -was. the subject of the morning
discourse, when Dr. Brougher said in
part: . . .
"While it is true that Jesus did not
come to do some things that Christians
frequently find it convenient to do. on
the other hand, he came to do a positive
work for mankind. - '
"First Jesus said he was anointed to
preach good tidings to tha poor; to pro
claim release' to the captives; recover
ing of sight- to the blind; to set at lib
erty them- that are braised, and to pro
claim the acceptable year of the Lord'
(Luke iv:18-18). . . s
."Second, Luke tells us -how God
anointed him with the Holy Spirit and
with power, who went about doing good
and healing all that were oppressed of
the devil, for God was with him, The
essential point of this- statement Is,
that . he 'went about, healing the sick
and doing good.' He made his Ufa one
continuous benediction of health and
helpfulness. . -
"Third, Jesus declares: The-Son of
Man came to - seek and to save that
which was loaf (Luke rlx:10). Jesus
came -to seek the lost and' save them.
We often forget this. Most of us seam
,to think our active duty is done whert
we nave Duut a church and swung Ms
doors open and invited the lost to coma
in by putting an announcement or ad
vertisement in the paper,' but Jesus
went personally after the unsaved."
In his sermon last niarht Dr. Rrnuehei
took for lits text Phil. 11:5. "Have this
mma in you wnicn was also in Christ
jesus." te pointed out that self-
riflce and self-denial were the chief
chareeteriatteof Christ's life, that t
did not think of his reputation and waa ,
without ambition and for any one to
carry out successfully the tines of eon
duct that Christ would pursue today lie

sacrifice. As his main point he showed

substance or the sermon delivered at the
