Kulp mad aa tbe more- 1 log scripture Lake 6; 18-U6. bulb id etoflre. It was tbe account of tbe ! baallDf by oar Lord of the moo sick of tbe palsey, that one whom four of bis : friends brought Into tbe presence of Jeroa by carrying hljn up lo tbe top of tha lo" built Ea-tero bouse aod letting him down Into the tuner court of tbe boose, bavlug first removed some uuuk, uaviug ursi removen > I .

of the light tiles which were used to J Canute court yard during the rainy , aaoaob. Tbe speaker described the i construction of tbe house of Ibe period . lo Palsslloe, and he made It clear ' tb«t the bouse waa not ueceaxarlly a 1 lowly ods. Inasmuch as the rustdeuce- 1 of tbe wealthy were not often of more thao one or two stories, though frequently tbey covered n large ares or ground. Tbe tuner court was common to all residences of any pretension The great crowd who were present to hear the Master were latent upon tbetrown convenience and refused give way to permit the sick of t palsy to he brought 10 Jesus by I ordinary entrance lo tbe court where He was teaching. Tbe entire Incident was used as the text, and from It Mr. Kulp preached a daring which he eedred severely the eay-golng lodidereoce as lo tbe salvation or their fellow-men that characterizes ttfe membership of tbe average church congregation of these days: god be did not except the local cougragaUon. After descrlblug the lieallug*.! r. Kulp went on to fay that tbe uitrifcten are no example of wbat our Lord Is able to do aud will do; H|a miracles era a pledge and a promise. They abow Him to be tbe Kulerof tbe forces •f nature; the forces of evil are subject to Htm, and He Is tbe Master of life god tbe Conqueror or death "All power In beeven and oo earth it given onto Me," la Hla own declaration on tbla point. He raised tbe widow's aon at Kalo, called Laxarns back to lite and burst tbe bars of His own to— and come forth to be Him w ho llveth nod was dead nod lasotfit olive twrsmoia Into sueb a presence tha faith and works of his four friend* brought the alck of tbe palsy. _ la passing, tbe speaker here re toned with emphasis to tbe fact that

j Jesus boldly look Issue with tbe Pharisees. who had already become Hla ; enemle". because His teaching was 1 undermining their system of priestly graft and robbery of Ihejwopie. They were present to watch Htm aud catch Htm In some violation of lhair perverted rou struct Ion of Ihe law. They thought I bay. had found It when Jesus •imke to the sick man, "Thy slus are thee." as His worill of healing Forthwith, they said, "Tlila Man speaketb blasphemy, for who can forgive "Ins hut Uod ouly?" The rejoinder came quickly and sharply. "But that ye may kuow (bar the Sou of I Mau hatb power on earth to forgive sin-." He said to Ibe sick man. "toeay unto thee, arise, take up thy much and exercised power in the fare of the • which belonged to Uod jchrist aud llieir Messiah. And from JmluLd to kill Him. | Mr. Kulp thru noticed that there was here a brother man in desperate uerd and that the faith of the four friend, rau-ed them V spare uo rtlort !to orlug their brother to the remedy j for tils need .

Mr. Kulp closed with a along appeal | Ihe Church to join earnestly lu tbe . , work of leading men to Christ aud to do this by walking humbly before Uod. so that tbey may ooiialetsotly approach tbelr brotbar men with a . call to repentance. 1 In the evening, the sermon was i evangelistic, as was alao. the entire I service, and deep feeling pervaded the • congregation.
