Of personal experiences. Seekers were
called TO the altar, and several presented
themselves, j. w, Mills, Of steubenville,
preached at l04 o'clock from the words,
"He saved Others"
OUR RELIGION HAS NEVER LACKED
PROOFS OF ITS 0ENUINENEss.
It's wonderful successes prove beyond
n doubt that II Is so. Strange as Il may
appear some OF the strongest proofs may
be gathered from tho writings Of It's
Tacitus, pliny, Gi6bon and
others while intending to ridioule II give
strong proof that It Is true. The words Of
the text arc the words OF q maligner.
Take;Chiristianity as YOU will and II will
stand the test. II Is the best system OF
philosophy ever invented. As n system
Of theology 1t has no equal. Nature may
teach us that there Ii God, but that Is
all. His attributes ure taught only in
revelation. There Is no grander system
Of ethics than our christianity.
As A CIvILlzISd AGENCY
there Is no greater In existence. But
were this all, then might there be some
excuse for not recommending II; but
aboye all, II saves men. He closed with
m earnest appeal to sinners TO become
converted, to backslidOrs to be reclaimed,
and for believers to become sanctilled. 1t
was m eloquent appeal throughout.
