FINAL ™ MIDWEEK LENTEN SERVICE| Rev, T. E. Calvert Preaches at Christ Church Upon the Hu- ‘man and the Divine in Christ—Congregation of Good Proportions in Attendance. Rev. Thomas E, Calvert, acting rec- ‘tor of Christ Episcopal church, was the preacher Wednesday evening there at the final one in the series of the united wervices for the Kpiscopal churches held in the middle of the week during Lent. His thoughtful sermon upon The Humen and the Divine in Christ was listened to with deep appreciation by the good sized congregation pres- ent, Archdeacon J. Eldred Brown of Trinity church conducted the service ©of evening prayer. For his text Rev. Mr. Calvert took two verses: “Me ye have not always” and “Lo I am with you always.” In the literature of the Old Testa- ment there are many passages which at first sight appear contradictory, but upon looking deeper can be rationally explpined and unite in harmony. It is the Same with the text, and the way to interpret it is to take it to its author himself, Jesus Christ. We know that he was no ordinary man, but a man set apart by himself because of his powers of speech, because of his unique moral character and for many other reasons. We can do no bétter than go to him 4f we wish to learn the meaning of his ‘words. These two selections used for a text tell us, the preacher said, that we have s leader who is both human and di- vine. “Me ye have not always.” What words could more certainly tell us of his human nature? What words more exquisitely touching that those of his farewell to his disciples? There is an eattempt by some men to say that Christ was an hallucination, but that 1s not the way that you and T learn of him from the Bible, He was a real ersonage, his life real and his suffer- ngs real in his cruel death. As he showed his sufferings in the approach toward his death isn't that proof enough of his human feélings and his humanity? He knew every pang In every fibre of his humanity and was a partaker with us all. 4 But his unique words remind us of his divine nature. “Lo I am with you always." Is he a pervasive influp'uco that we cannot escape from? Yes; but that is not all. Is he only an ex- traordinary power to excite admira- tion? Yes, he is all of that, but that is not all. Does “Lo I am with you al- ways” mean that as long as this church stands his presence will be there? Yes, but more than that. ) The promise of Christ's presence 1S a promise of omnipresence. If he is present with us In the sacrament, no place in life's work will there be in which he is not with us. This is not a friend who says I will visit you in & dream or a vision of the night, but Lo I am with you always. Can you tell what it is to call upon the heavenly omnipotence, the heavenly love, to be always with you and to save you to the end? Here we have a superhuman power for the asking. All we have to do is to open the door and beckon him in. - In closing, the speaker gave two concrete examples of what the power of Jesus meant in a life, the first be- ing of Livingstone, whose power to go on with his work in the Dark Conti- nent came from a constant communion with him who said Lo T am with you always. Tennyson was the second ex- ample given, his religion being a re- ligion that came not from impulse but from reason, bringing sweetness and peace into his life, showing the beatific vision which .the poet had received when he wrote Crossing the Bar Towards such a vision may we ap- proach.
