Rev. M. M. Cutter addressed the Y. M. C. A. last night in their rooms in the Scientific School. He took his text from Colossians iii, 23, "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men." He said: These closing chapters of Paul's epistles are always full of practical suggestions and sound principles, and are very helpful to everyone. This passage suggests three thoughts: First, breadth of Christian service. This is a practical age, and the pressure towards earnest and exacting work is so great that many men seem to find little time for religious work. But they make their great mistake in thinking that going to church is the only religious work to be done. Everything that we do is done unto the Lord, if it is done in the proper spirit. Put the stamp of the Lord on all your work, at home and abroad. Secondly, men should have more Christian intercourse. Let them make the acquaintance of Christ's disciples, as disciples and talk with each other about the deep and sacred things of life. A little earnest talk often helps a man more than five year's church going. It is often hard for a man to speak of the deepest things in his life, for they seem too sacred to talk about, and then we are not trained to speak often of these things. But the result is worth the effort. Third, we must try to have personal loyalty to the personal Leader. We have a personal connection with Christ, and we should recognize that He is our leader and try to follow him.
