Mr. Raven of Phillipsburg, N. J., preached two acceptable sermons for the Presbyterians last Sunday. The evening sermon was on the sub- ject of "the heart power, born of Faith in Christ." Mr. Raven open- ed his sermon by stating the trouble in one of the first Christian churches in Asia over the question of circum- cision. A number of the congrega- tion were of the Gentile population. A number of the congregation were of the Jew population, raised under the Mosaic Law, believing in circum- cision. The Jew Christians desired to have everyone circumcised who joined the new church and the Gen- tiles insisted that circumcision was not necessary. When the factional fight was at its heigth Paul, who himself was a Jew, having been cir- cumcised according to the Mosaic dispensation, appeared among them and interpreted the true meaning of Christianity. That it was not cir- cumcision or uneircumcision, but faith in Christ. It was a new doc- trine of great power that was work- ing its way among men and influenc- ing their every day life. From this brief historical statement of the trou- ble that had sprung up in the early Christian church over the adminis- tration of the Mosaic Law and the true meaning and power of the new church. Mr. Raven proceeded to consider the powers that up to that time influenced the minds of men. A great power among men in the early history of people was the phys- ical power. Classical story abounds with narratives of the physical pow- er of individuals who became great and powerful in influencing the masses. A long line of ancestry was a power in those days to influence men, illustrious deeds or capability for accomplishing distinguished achievements, enobled men, and rais- ed their families to influential power among men. Wealth was a great power to influence men to almost un- limited degree. The power of the intellect influenced men to a great degree. The orator and the writer or scribe had an influence among men that was felt almost beyond comprehension. Such were the great powers that influenced men up to the coming of the babe in the manger, but with that child came a new power. The heart power, faith and love in Christ. It is greater than physical power, greater than the power of a long line of ancestry of noble deeds, greater than the pow of wealth, greater than the power of intellect to influence and lift men up into the way of correct living, and prepares them for the world beyond the grave. Physical power, the pow- er of ancestry, the power of wealth, the power of intellect all end with a man, but the new power that Christ taught, the heart power, lifts to a higher and better life when death comes to claim us all. # Tuscarora Valley Railroad.
