WEST JCRANT0N
Sermon of W. W. Adair, Secretary of the
R. R. Y. M. C. A., in Washburn Street
Presbyterian Church.
W. W. Adair, secretary of the Rull
rond Young Mon'H Christian associa
tion, occupied the pulpit of the Wnsh
burn Street Presbyterian church yes
terday niornltiK. and preached a very
forecrul sermon. Following was the
text: "To film that ovcrcomctli will
1 give to cat of the hidden manna and
I will give him a while stone and In
the stone it new name written." Hew,
11:17. During the course of his re
mnrks, the speaker said:
The sccno of the Christian life H a bat
tlegiound whereon are fought the great
deciding battles of destiny. Theio arc
noiio of us hero who have espoused the
cause of Christ who do not know fall well
what the npostlo means when ho talks of
the conflict of natures. When he speaks
of the law In himself that so works that
when ho would do good, evil Is present
with him. Wo too, have fought these
battles and aiu sllll lighting them and
must light on until the end. Not all who
cater upon this waifaro aro victorious.
All along the line of march may bo found
defeated and dishonored stragglers who
have given over the light and made ship
wreck of faith. But In the midst of the
smoke and tragedy of the conlllct, the
captain of our salvation cheers on thu
faithful. The sound of his voice reassures
ns, and, In addition to the rncomngoment
that comes fiom his presence, Ho speaks
of the coronation day when the victor
lays by his armor to receive the crown.
"Seven times In these symbolic mes
sages to the churches Ho tells of Uio
glory that shall be 'to him that over
comcth.' " We are not allowed to forget
that the foe is at hand, and that the bat
tlo must bo foueht, but wo aro at tbo
same time encouraged with tbo prospect
of victory. After the battle has been
waged amid perils and blood and tears
the conflict at last is over and the victory
is -won. I was Interested In a recent
sketching of tbat book, "Decisive Battles
of the World," In which certain heroes
won fame and renown, but clearly the
great battle of all is mlslng from the
volume. What depended on theso decisive
battles? Temporal power and prestlgo
only, transient and fleeting, and soon to
bo wrenched away "by an unlineal hand
no son of theirs succeeding."
But in the conflict with sin eternal In
terests aro at stake and eternal destinies
aro determined. It is to those who stand
unwavering In this warfare that the Mas
ter speaks. Listen to his promlso of re
ward after the strife shall be oyer:
"To him that ovcrcomctli -will I give to
eat of the bidden manna, and I will glvo
him a white stone, and In the stone n
now name written." Let ns comprehend
if we may, tho significance of this three
fold reward.
The word "manna" recalls tho tragic
experience of Israel in tho wilderness. It
was thoro In their hour or need that God
sent them tho manna from heaven."

And already there is a brisk demand in some

that have been in vogue for the pa3t few

Of course, we'll have warm weather yet
and lots of it but we'll have cool days and
chilly nights quite frequently from now right

carefully are anxious to protect themselves
against these sudden changes that come as a

tho term Is surely Inlcrprctallvo with
leference to tho "hidden manna" men
tioned hole, llo tetots to It In another
placu where lie says "Your fathers did
cat maun i and are dead, Ho that cut
nth of tha bread that I shall give him
shall live forever. Jt seems clear that
tho "hidden manna" will bo unfolded
tiuth given by Jesus himself. There nio
certain pieces of music that have been
hallowed by tho touch of nit Individual,
and we can not thereafter be satisfied
with that music unless played by tbo
master hand. U will be like thnt with
tho Scrlptuies after once we have sat at
Ills feet and hcatd Him unfold them. Wo
shall say with those of old, "Never man
spake like this man," and our hearts, too,
shall burn ns did the hearts of the dis
ciples on tho Kmmaus load,
Wo shall hardly catch tho significance
of this piomlse about "tho white stone"
on the tlrst reading. It Is Interesting and
Important to note that It Is tho same
oilgtnal word that Is translated "voice"
In Paul's address before Agrlppa. You
remember that Paul wns l elating tho
facts about his persecution of the Cluls
tlnns, nnd ho says, "When they were put
to denth, I wns present and gave my
volco against them." Ho Is referring to
thu method they hnd of casting tho bal
lot, whleh by tho way Is still In vogue
in a modlllcd form. Two kinds of pebbles
wero used, a white one in favor of nc
qulttal and a black one for condemna
tion. The apostle deposited a black peb
ble signifying that ho favored death. The
"white stone" of the text means just
the opposite It Is the emblem of Imputed
innocence nnd vindication. The man who
receives it knows that he has passed fiom
death 'unto life, thnt ho Is accepted In tho
Beloved, and that God sees him faultless
through tho merits of Christ. Some
earthly monarchs have a way of pro
nouncing titles and conferring royal fa
vots on an esteemed subject, but I have
always had a rather cheap opinion of such
honors. None of these royal courtesies
keep the wolf from the door and a Knight
of the Golden Eagle will starve as quick
ly as an ordinary mortal. How Infinitely
rather strive for the favor of heaven and
tho token of celestial honor! Let us la
bor to receive the white stone.
Tho new name will be Ills own new
name and will be a further revelation of
his character. It Is worthy of note that
each of tho nnmes by which we now know
Him gives us a special revelation about
His life and mission. His name "Jesiih"
recalls tho divine word, "Thou shalt call
His name Jesus, for He shall save His
people from their sins." Ills name
"Christ" reveals Him as "tho annolnted
one," "the Messiah" which wns to come.
His name "Lord" suggests His supremo
authority and His final triumph. His new
name will bo some still further revelation
of His loveliness. When we come to know
Him in this way, and when wu thus sit
satisfied at His feet, what will be our re
flections as we look back over the check
ered way? Regret? Yes, nnd yet a gieat
feeling of rejoicing. Sadness? Yes, and
yet with a quiet sense of joy. Shame?
Yes, but still with a mighty song of tri
umph that notwithstanding our failures
"Wo aro more than conquerois through
Him that loved us" and that we are class
ified by Him as those who have over
come tho wot Id.

a popular pleasure resort. Is shown by
