the thousands, but space will not permit

| 81 declare unto yon by the word OF
God" Our salvatioa is worth more than
all other considerations. When this is OBJ
tanned we are prepared for otl er things.
We should pause and examine just where
we are. The text has two truths these
can not be separated without destroying
them.
LIST. The divine and human work in man
salvation.
/. The power to will and do in man is
of God but the act of doing and willing is
of man. These two are the foundation
and top stone of human salvation. The
effect of separating them is disastrous, for
if we follow one we do all, and in the
other case God does all. This power to
will and do in man is of God We per-
form no act, physical, mental or spiritual
without the power communicated to US by
God. Mans forgetfuli.ess Of this does not
change the fact. This point was well Illus
trated by biblical citations.
God provides salvation, gives means foi
its attainment, but does not force man tc
accept it. He will not save one against
the will the power of willing is given
but man must will.
2. The act of willing and doing is the
work of man, to work out cur own saliva
ton. The willing precedes all voluntary
action. Any forced service or act com
pelled cannot be responsible service OF
action. Only voluntary acts are response
. BILE acts. God does not will for any man
Men are conscious OF tnelr power OF VII
ling, and that they are responsible for thci
willing and doing. God requires men t.
believe on the working with Christ. Their,
Is much to do yet, and let us accept Chris
and have in interest in this glorious work
This was very earnest sermon, con
vincing aud powerful in gospel and truth
