“THE HEAVENLY VISION.” 
eee ed 
Abstract from Sermon of Rev. Theodore L. 
Frost, at the Baptist Church, Manchester, 
Sunday Morning, Oct. 11. 
Rev. Theodore Lyman Frost took up 
his work as pastor of the First Baptist 
church, Manchester, last Sunday morn- 
ing, Oct. 11, and was greeted by a large 
congregation. He preached a well con- 
ee 
structed sermon on The Heavenly 
Vision.’’ 
The preacher took for his text Acts 
26:19, Wherefore, Oh King Agrippa 
I was not disobedient to the heavenly 
vision. 
He spoke first of The Presence of 
Heavenly Visions. ‘“‘Our age is too 
practical,’’ he said, “‘too steeped in 
materialism, too busy in making money 
to think about or to believe in such things 
as visions. Yet the world owes a great 
debt to the heavenly visions which have 
come to men and women. 
““The prophet of old prophecied that 
the time was coming when old men 
should dream dreams and young men 
see visions. [he prophecy has in a 
measure come true. Young men have 
seen visions and even today they see vis- 
ions. Unusually dull and unambitious 
must be that young man who has had no 
visions. Men have called them vision- 
aries, dreamers, but 
greatest souls of all ages have been those 
who have seen visions. 
‘“ Notice in the second place that The 
Heavenly Vision means Power. Wheth- 
er objective, or subjective the heavenly 
vision means power for it gives a new 
point of view and brings inspiration to 
the life.  Paul’s vision of the Risen.and 
Glorified Christ on the Damascus road 
meant a new point of view for the young 
lawyer. | Constantine’s vision of the 
blazing cross gave Him anew view point. 
He saw himself as champion of the 
cross. 
‘“'The vision from heaven brings to 
the life power through inspiration. The 
zolian harp is silent until the breezes 
strike it, and then it breaks forth into 
music. The soul remains quiet until 
the vision comes and brings the power 
of inspiration.’’ 
Mr. Frost then illustrated the effect of

the heavenly vision as an inspiring force 
by the lives of Jean D’ Arc, Columbus, 
Copernicus. 
“* The heavenly vision also means re- 
sponsibility. . ‘ The man who has truly

seen God necessarily has a message to _ 
» 
men.’ This means that the heavenly 
vision lays great responsibility upon a 
man. Its call to obedience is a call to a 
life of service for God and man. Re- 
cognize the responsibility, obey the vis- 
ion and the life attains its true goal, and 
serves its day and generation. Disobey 
the vision and there comes to the life a 
loss of faith, a diminished joy, a lack of 
peace. Better for your life or mine nev- 
er to have the heavenly vision of bright- 
er and better things for us, than to have 
it and fail to obey it. 
Do you see the possibility of your 
being abrighter, stronger man or woman? 
Accept it as a vision from God and _ try 
to realize the vision in your daily life. 
Obey the light which heaven sends you 
and it will grow still stronger and bright- 
er, dawning more and more unto the 
perfect day.’”’

“ANALYSIS OF THOUGHT :—SOUL" 
Subject of First in Series of Three Sermons 
by Rev. L. H. Ruge. 
Rey. L. H. Ruge preached the first of 
a series of three sermons on ““Thought’” 
at the Congregational church, Manches- 
ter, last Sunday morning. His subject 
was ‘The Analysis of Thought:--- 
Soul.’ The nexttwo sermons will be 
on ““The Embodiment of Thought:--- 
Character,’’ and ‘‘ The Spiritualization. 
of Thought:---Salvation.’’ Following 
are a few extracts from last Sunday’s.ser- 
mon: : 
Text: The multitude of my thoughts 
within me.---Psalms 94:19. 
““The power to think distinguishes. 
man above and apart from all other living 
creatures. [Thought is fundamental in 
the soul; it is one of the great basic prin- 
ciples. Destroy thought and you de- 
stroy the soul. 
‘“ The truest idea of soul progress is 
to develop thought. ‘The truest service 
of human life, afterall, is to become a 
thinker: to think for oneself. It may 
be a splendid thing to known mach, but 
it is far better to think much. 
‘Thought is the pulse-throb of the 
soul, as blood is the pulse-throb of the 
body. 
‘“ Nothing is more real, more positive 
than thought It is a positive force, 
above all; nothing could be without 
thought. 
“* Be an original thinker; be an orig- 
inal soul, having a personality that repre- 
sents you. Each soul should not Jearn 
to reject the thoughts of others, but 
should think for itself. 
‘“Today we have pioneers in the 
thought world that are making as great 
progress as did Columbus. 
‘“ We may gaina great deal of knowl- 
edge, but we can’t do much unless we 
use it. 
‘“Thought is power. The great — 
bridge that spans the mighty river is not 
as great as the thought that devised it. 
‘ Thought is the only thing that is 
free, absolutely free. Fetters are laid 
upon the body, but no fetters can be laid 
upon the mind.’’
