Street. Ire occupied a small shot):

At that time competition was keener

known at that time and the antomo--

trade. Mr. Frayne has, an enviable

At night the church was crowde
every available space was taken uZ
even the vestibule being 'filled and i
addition a number' were turned a
way. A puked quartette from Lon
don, ' assisted the choir with specia
music for the occasion. Rev. Dr. J
J. Patterson, • of Sarnia; was th
Special speaker for the day ant
preached two splendid sermons. Tie
Main St, Methodist Church was dos
ed in the morning and associated
with the pastor on the platform w i
Rev, McAllister. Mr. Patterson too
for his morning subject the appeal
of the blind man to Jesus, askinu
re -instatement as a worker. Iti th
evening he spoke of Zachaeus, chic
of.sthe publicans, -who sought to set
Jests. The speaker said lie had been
impressed with the words of Robt
Browning; "Having proved hon
hard' it is to be a Christian," Brown
ing found it hard to be a Christian
Zachaeus found it hard to be eve
a decent- pian_ He was handicapped.
The speaker was not thinking of hi
physical handicap for this is th
least handicap a man has. He was
handicapped by the greatness of th
opportunity that was his to become
and remain a dishonest man. Chris
tianity has for centuries been set
ting up barriers to make the way of
the transgressor hard, but, there are
always some who get around or jump
the barriers. The only successful
barrier to sin is the spirit of. God
working on our conscience. Zach-
aeus, as chief of the publicans, lived
in an atmosphere of scheming, to
rob the public and increase the rev-
enue. What a wonderful revelation
when he went back to the 'same old
job, a righteous man. Christ gives
his followers power to defeat the ob-
stacles surrounding them.
Zaehaeus' second handicap was his
bad reputation. People wondered
why Christ associated with this bad
man. One of the things that helps
to keep a man badis that people es=
pests hint to be good. and vice versa.
Being in the ministry het s to
keep
a man in the right path. The thought
.that, nobody care'.'. Or that somebody
cares' has a great influence on life.
Nobody ever transgressed' the .laws
of God but that: somebody cares.
Christ said, Zaehaeus come down,for
today I must abide at thy house to
show thee that I• care. Thames Road

James Street churches withdrew
