N. Rally, in Trinity cliurch yesterday morning, and the discourse was one of the most curliest ever preached by him. In the course of his remarks on helf denial and 'the proper motive therefor, I.e., trying to get nearer to Christ, he deplored the publication of the testimony in the Thaw murder trial which, he said, spread before the people 111 the newspapers every day in all its hideous detail the very evils of the flesh that they: were trying to get away from at the beginning of Lent. ()n the question of motive, he said that the abstention from luxuries such us candy, sweets, tobacco, In lent, even If the money saved thereby was given to the church, was all very well and pralsworthy In its way, but the real efficacy of It depended to a great extent upon the 'motive. In giving out notice of collection to be taken up next Sunday for foreign missions, Mr.

Rally said that it there were any who were compelled to choose between giving to foreign missions and to the expenses of their own church (regular contributions) they should give to the latter, for 'Charity should begin ut re membering, however, the widow's mite and that the Iud loves a cheerful giver, no matter how small the contribution might be.

13 to 2 3. Rev, John T. Nichols Warmly Greeted at First Congregational Church. Rev. John T.

Nichols, the new pastor of the Congregational church, took up his work In this city yesterday and was greeted at both the morning and evening services by good sized congregations. Many canic forward at the (lose of the services to coiiKiatulate the new minister and wish him success In Asbury Park. Rev. Mr. Nichols' theme of the morning sermon was "The Ideal of a Christian Church." The discourse was replete with good and timely suggestions of an Introductory nature ami depleted the great amount of good the church has an opportunity to do and the high Ideals it ought lo at tain.

The evening sermon subject was "Salvation an Achievement." The words of the text were: "Work out your own salvation." The preacher said in pai "These words were written to the Christians at phillippl. and one ot them was the jailer to whom Paul had said: 'Relieve on the Lord Jesus Christ ami thou shalt be saved." These two different sayings of Paul on the same iiuestlons suggest that the first word in salvation is not the last word; that If Is a process of character development, lather than ticket of admission to heaven. So the New Testament speaks of those who are being saved rather than those who are saved. We are saved as a fret-gift from God, bill the gift Is only the beginning -the opportunity to woik out our own salvation. It Is Hue a title to a farm given by a father to a son.

It Is a lire gin anil mere is a living on the farm, but only as lie works It out. it means that 'when we can rend our title clear to man- dons in the skies' we are not 'to sit mil sing ourselves away to everlast ing "Salvation, In its last analysis. Is ha cartel. It is the kingdom of heaven getting Inlo us, rather than lis getting inlo the kingdom of heaven, And character Is always more of mi achl inient than a gift. Here, as eveiy where else, there Is 'id hll sine la 'We have to work not only for sal vation, but against sin.
