OF THE HOUR” Id
TEXT OF SERMON
EE. -Mo Waite © of 5 F.C:
Preaches Sunday
Sermon
President E. M. Waite of Texas
Christian University of Ft. Worth ad-
dressed the congregation at the
morning service in Guion Hall Sun-
day morning. His sermon was wel-
comed by all because of its pointed-
ness and evident veracity of subject
matter.
His introductory remarks consum-
ed several minutes but being well in
line with the announced climax of
his sermon were interesting.
“The supreme search of mankind”,
he said, “is for the Supreme, the soul
or culture is in the last analysis the
culture of the soul. The recent
world conflict overthrew many
things; while others still abide.
Many historical citations give us a
question. Where is materialistic
cluture? and the answer is: It is
gone. Today there is a new culture
of faith, hope, sympathy, service and
justice, that of the Great Master
which shall abide.”
“The Challenge of the Hour,”
was his subject. He based his re-
marks on John 18:33-36, citing these
quotations from the verses: Pilate’s
questions to Christ, “Art Thou King
of the Jews?”, and Christ's answer,
“Thou sayst; “What hast thou
done?”, and Christ's answer, “My
Kingdom is not of this world.”
“Jesus came as a King crowned by
His life, King in all activity of life
came for one definite, overwhelming,
over shadowing purpose. As He
came so came all of us. Nothing
came into this world with aimless
feet,” he said. “Of all the things
in this world man only seems to
whine, complain, fret and die. The
great streams of human life must
flow by the channels dug by man
himself. The question put to Jesus
and his answers can be said of every
man.”
Then he spoke of man “as a man
of destiny in fulfilling the purpose
of the Almighty” and cited Savan-
- arola, Luther, Wesley, and the great
founders of the American Repub-
lic.
Working down to this point, then he
said, “my first affirmation to you is
that if we are to meet the challenge
of this hour we are to make a prop-
er assessment, a proper evaluation
of life itself.” Continuing he said,
“life is not aimless but must mean
something and has never meant as
much as it does today, and will never
mean more in a thousand years.”
After referring to one of Victor
Hugo’s remarks he mentioned the
Psalmist’s question, “What is man
that thou art mindful of him?” and
then repeated his answer “the most
‘purposeful creation of God.”
The speaker said he had visited the

Re iS a...
Denton.—A tooth of a large pre-
historic animal was unearthed in a
gravel pit near here. It is about
eight inches long, with a grinding
surface 7 by 3 inches, and the enam-
el was plainly visible. A part of
what appeared to have been the head
of the animal also was uncovered,
but it crumbled quickly on exposure
to the air.
