FIRST DISCOURSE
BY NEW PASTOR
Large Audience Heard Rev.
Bascom Anthony Sunday.
An audience which comfortably
filled the auditorium of the First Me
thodist church greeted the new pas
tor, Rev. Bascom Anthony, yesteTday
morning. His theme was "Tho Suf
ficiency of Christ.” The text was
from Col. 3:11: "Christ Is all.”
The speaker held up Christ as the
one who would draw all men unto
Him. Christianity was not a creed
nor a system of ethics, but a person,
Jesus Christ. The only way, said
the speaker, to live a Christian life
was to know Christ. The rest fol
lowed as a natural sequence. Therein
lay Christianity's power. Christian
philanthropy was the working out of
the personality of Christ His teach
ings were nearly all found In em-
broyo fn the Old Testament, but it
was the life He lived which drew
mankind.
The sermon was enlivened by apt
illustration, pathos and pleasantry
combining to interest and hold the
attention. The discourse was well
received by the congregation, and
after the sermon many expressions of
approval,were heard. •
, Obedience is better than sacrifice.
