Winnipeg Churches: "Changing Years, Changeless Christ"

Winnipeg, January 9, 1915

Charles G. Hounshell, traveling secretary of the student volunteer movement, will preach the university sermon to the students of the Winnipeg colleges at the Vaughan street Y.M.C.A. Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Mr. Hounshell is a returned missionary from Korea, and his subject will be "Christ Adequate to Meet the Needs of the World."

Rev. A. E. Ribourg, assistant rector of Holy Trinity church, will take for his subject Sunday evening "The Universal and the Everlasting Empire of Christ; Thy Kingdom Is an Everlasting Kingdom and Thy Kingdom Endureth Throughout All Generations."

Rev. J. C. Madill, late of Vancouver, will preach in St. John's Presbyterian church on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. His subject will be "My Church, Peter and the Keys."

Mr. Whiting's subjects at Young church on Sunday will be those which would have been preached at the services a week ago but for his sudden illness. In the morning there will be a talk to children on "What the Old Clock Said," and the sermon subject "The Changing Years and the Changeless Christ," is a challenge in the midst of the flux of perpetual change for men to seek the highest and the abiding. In the evening the subject, "Five Great Things in National Life," in which we are to look for a little time at the large things that enter into our heritage, is to be surrounded by a most attractive musical service. Mr. Habbeshaw will sing a solo, and a double male quartette will give a selection. The anthem, "Hark, Hark, My Soul," by Houseley, will be most effective. Mr. Jordan will precede the evening service by a half-hour organ recital, commencing at 6:30. The doors are open at 6. During the week evenings it is proposed to hold special services in the upper school room, beginning with the Epworth league on Monday night and continuing throughout the week each evening at 8 o clock.

"Thinking Red," or "The Man Behind the Guns," will be the subject of Rev. J. E. Hughson's sermon at Grace church Sunday evening. Mr. Hughson will show that the teachers of "German culture" have made a nation of "blood and iron," and are largely responsible for the present war. Out of these facts will come the question. "Should we control the teaching of our colleges? Does it matter what we think?"

In St. Paul's Presbyterian church, Rev. P. Bruce Thornton will speak upon the following subject next Sunday evening: "Three men I have met during the past week — an unpopular man, a man with a secret care, and an overcoming man." The morning subject is: "The Projection of the West into the East." Dr. A. J. W. Myers, of Toronto, will address the Christian Endeavor society at 8:30. His subject will be, "What the Young People Can Do for the Church."

At Zion Methodist church, Pacific avenue, just off Princess, Rev J. L. Batty, pastor, will preach at both services on Sunday. Rev. J. S. Hatfield is assistant pastor.
