SERMON FROM THE GRAVE. "WOODBINE WILLIE ON
DEATH.
The late Rev. G. A. Studdert- Willie," ** Woodbine Kennedy, spoke to hundreds of people in Worcester Cathedral through the dean, the Very Rev. W. Moore Ede, who read a sermon on Life. After Death which the famous war padre wrote shortly before he died.
A passage from the sermon read: Suppose Christ did not rise. Then all his dreams died with bim.
It may be that life is eternal but that the forms of life Is that are purely temporary. how it is with men and women? Are they merely temporary forms of life?
That is the choice with which the Christian is faced, when he takes his stand in the last ditch and faces the final doubt, I know that last ditch well. I have stood in it many a time, and I know that before I die I shall stand there again and again.
There is not, and can never be, any immediate certainty about it. Not even Christ can give us in- Historical mediate
comes
certainty. evidence of His resurrection is good, but it is not conclusive.
Many noble and honest minds have had doubts about it. It back to the challenge: Do you believe that Christ Himself was deluded and mis- taken as to His sincerity ?"
About certainty Immediate eternal life we cannot have in this world. We must make a venture and follow Elim. To fol- low Him is to live as He lived," taking with joyful gratitude the good things of this life as gifts of God, using them with re- verence and restraint because they are His gifts, and valuing "then as we value gifts-more for the sake of the Giver than for the gift itself.
Certainty comes and only comes
as He forever dwells in us and. we in Him.
Many of the congregation came 50 50 from considerable distances to bear
