The text for this sermon is tak

"For Jesus had passed out unno

at the pool of Bethesda he had

Christ to catch a man's attention
in such a traffic jam of organiza

And these are such innocent things
in themselves!
Now this invalid who had suf

Christ out. Ours is not a vicious-
ly wicked age. And the average

Holman Hunt took that word from
Revelation: "Behold I stand at
the door and knock" and painted
an immortal picture of our Lord
.knocking at the door of a cottage.
But the brambles of indifference
had grown over the door, it was
not opened. He knocks at our
doors today, but there la such a
hilarious "bridge" party , going on
within that the "Stranger at the
door" Is left outside unnoticed!
The effect of this over-crowded

force. Insanity has increased over

downs mount higher and higher
Never did an age so resperately
seed a life sustained and renewed
through fellowship with Christ,
We can't go on crowding Christ
out of our lives without spiritual
ly degenerating both ourselves and
our progeny. Let us awaken to
our spiritual peril for if Jesus haa
"passed out unnoticed" from our
plans and purposes the ease and
luxury of our age will leave us
nothing that abides unto eternal
life.
