Rev. J.H. Short of Innisfail Preaches the Opening Sermon.

 

Preaching at the opening meeting of the seventh annual Presbyterian Synod of Alberta which was held in Know church last evening. Rev. J.H. Short of Innisfail, preached the opening sermon taking as his text Corinthians 6:30 “The Simplicity that is in Christ.” The preacher said that the church of today was too highly organized. He did not see a great deal of difference in the church no from what it was in the time of St. Paul in Corinth. He stated that the over organization of the Church and a love of display and ceremony eventually robbed the pastor of his prestige as an individual force.
