Richard ; Hobbs Delivers an Inspiring an Appropriate Faro - well Addr--s to The Metho- dist r ongregation. On Sunday : veiling last the seating capacity of th Methodist Church was fully taxed, th re being large numbers present of the different denominations in town, when Rev. R. Hobbs, who has just completed a four-year term as pas- tor of the eburb, delivered his farewell message to the congregation. Taking ns hitext the last verse of the 15th chapter of 1st Corinthians, he de- livered in his u ual vigorous and force- ful style a very appropriate sermon. At the outset he iu ormed his hearers that he was not goi to preach the usual farewell sermo as he was goiug but a short distance rom their midst, but realizing that it night be his last oppor- tunity to speak o and look into the faces of a people dear to his heart, he felt keenly the el arge he delivered to them. We cane of here give the ser - mu in detail, bn will eudeavor to pre- sent a few of the .oints worthy of note. The speaker poiu';d to the Apostle Paul as a mighty reaso .er, and the greatest logician, philosop er and theologian the world has ever se n. He desired to urge upon the people ith stress and emphas- is what Paul urg '1 upon the Corinthi- ans, viz: Be st'•adfast. Stability is taught in the wotI of God, and is au important factor u contributing to suc- cess in any spher or vocation of this life. A double. inded man does not succeed in busine s, in politics, or iu the church—none ex.' 1 apart from stability. Instability he co pared to water, and in doing so show d the fallacy of the common saying t .at water always finds its own level, an that water is never higher at its outl t than at its source. By illustration I proved these state- ments to bo frequently untrue. The Mississippi Rive is much higher where it empties than • here it rises; tides will raise water up • great heights by the influence of pla;•ets, winds, etc., which goes to show, h w water is subjected, governed and c • • trolled by laws, being ander different • ws, but bound to yield to the greatest fluence. So it is with people who are nstable, and who yield to the most potet influence operating upon their lives. Therefore it behooved all to be immova le, abounding in all good works. He :Shorted his hearers to be fervent in spir . The word fervent is derived from 'Jervis)," meaning to boil. Mr. Hobbs r kes "boiling" Christ- ians. From seeing part of a ball game recently, the rover: nd geutleman notic- ed how much more eager those engaged in the contest were o get the ball into the net than were C ristians to get souls into the Gospel net. Hence be desired to attain a greater de erinination in seek- ing the lost, knowin. that his work is of paramount importan.e, because redemp- tion was bought at -o great a price. Paul's argument is sed not on the death but on the resu 4 ection of Christ, for if Christ rose not om the dead, all hope would prove to .e in vain. Here the speaker made a t.uching reference to the homes which h d been visited by death during his pasto ate, but dispels the sadness which the thought conveys, by his expression of co fort to those ber- eft, assuring them o the blessed re- union of those who a in the Lord. Realizing the short's ss of time here, none can afford to be aught but stead- fast, knowing that a enemies of the Christian, even deat and the grave, shall be vanquished, nd that the soldiers of Christ shall final y triumph. The partial and limited t iumphs of the past 'four years were refe red to, particular notice being directe to the new church, and the increase of issionary contribu- tions. The past au ceases were alluded to as but the beginng of what might be accomplished and ssiiould be a great en- couragement in th b future to helping others weaker thin themselves. The congregations whdo the most at home invariably do the est abroad. In dos- ing, Mr. Hobbs p. d a tribute to his suc- cessor, Rev. Dr. t undy, and stated that he knew of no m available that was better suited for t e place than the com- ing pastor. Mr. obbs closed by ex- pressing the hope , • f meeting his people in the better ranif not again in this, The choir sans selections appropriate to the occasion. At the close of the service a number of persons were '.nblicly welcomed to the fellowship of he church. REV. AND Mu A large numbe It.
