Sermon preached Sunday evening December 2 at the Methodist church in Alliance by Rev J Walter Morris. The speaker argues that outward appearances mislead and true character shines under testing with analogies of gold, baser metals, diamonds, and hidden depth, stressing inner virtue over surface.
The talk blends biblical anecdotes of figures like Abraham Lincoln and Jesus with calls for active Christian missions. It praises discernment of virtue in unlikely people, urges wider church outreach, and cites early apostolic zeal, modern missionary work, and the need for more workers and resources to evangelize both abroad and at home.
A sermon discusses preaching repentance in Jesus name to all nations from Jerusalem. It contrasts self-centered living in homes and states, condemns neglect of family for money, and notes how caring employers reduce discontent and strikes. It cites a candy-eating man as an example of selfishness.
