AND HIS NAME S BY THE REV. BILLY SUNDAY (Copyright, 1915, by the Newspa- per Enterprise Association.) Text—“His name shall be called Wonderful. jah ix: 16, ° In olden times, all names meant or stood for something and this is still the case among Indians, and all other people who are liv in a primitive way re are 256 names for the Tord, Jesus Christ, and I suppose this is beca He was infinite Vy more than any one name could ‘express. Of the many names given to Christ it is my purpose at this tinge to briefly consider this one. “His name shall be called Won derful.” Let us look into it some What and see whether He was ‘true to His name, which was given Him by the prophet 800 years be fore He was born, Does the name fit Him? Is it such a name as He ought to have? Wonderful means something | that is transcendently beyond the Common, say the Yellowstone Park, Niagara Falls and Grand Canyon of Colorado are wonderful Mecause there is nothing like them. His birth was wonderful, for pO other ever occurred, that was like it. It was wonderful in that He had Dut one human parent, and so in- Herited the nature of man and mature of princes and the of kings, and yet his birth Was not looked forward to In glad tion, as the birth ofa x usually ts, in the royal pal- > ace, and celebrated with marked ‘expression. of joy all over the country. no room for Him at ps A stable, and cradled in a man- and yet angels proclaimed tt Joy from the sky, to a fow ble shepherds in sheepskin who were guarding the by night.

He came to do THAT—and you have no room for Him in your heart! You don’t like my preaching. Walk up and tell me how you can be a Christian and see this great battle and knock me. You're a child of the devil. eee His character was wonderful, for no other has ever approached it In perfection. It is wonderful that the greatest character erer produced should have come out of auch obscurity to become the most famous fn all history That such a time, and such a country, and such a people should have produced Jesua Christ, can be accounted for on no other ground than His divinity. On his return from a trip to the Holy Land I sald to a preacher friend: “What made the greatest impres- sion upon you while there?” “Nazareth!” he answered in- stantly, and gave this reason ‘The same kind of people are living there today aa in the time of Jesus, nd they are about the worst specimens of humanity | have seen anywhere Lagy, lustful, tavorant and wicked, and to think of His com ing out from such a people ts to me sure proof of His divinity, Had I not been a believer in His divinity before going there, [ would have to believe tn it now eee His life was wonderful—won derful for its sinlessness and for its usefulness and His unselfish ness. Even His enemies could not bring against Him any graver charge than that He claimed God for His Father, and that He would do good on the Sabbath day Wonderful for the way tn which He taught ity and clearness, to the Individual You do not anywhere find Him for Its simplic and adaptation seeking the multitude, but He never avoided the individual. And His teaching was ays comprehension of those whom He taught! It le sald that the common peop ard Him gladly, and thie shows that they un. derstood what He s: He put the cookies on the lower shelf. No man had to take a dic tlonary with him when he went to hear the Sermon on the Mount. A man ofce asked “What's the secret of your success, Mr. Sunday?" I sald: “I have something to it gay and I say And that fan't egotiam.

Wonderful, too, that He should have been condemned to death by both Rev. E. V. Shayler, rector of Mark's church, and a fol- of earnest church folk, into the section known times gone by as “below the Friday evening, bearing cross to tattered men and wome: they approached a vast gathered, and humbier bade their congrega- go and hear.
