IN Tuesday afternoon Rev. Frank
Rurr m preached from l. Corinthians 10:

.n Adam VA, made living soul the
% ~ Adam was made . quicksning
pirit." .-,,.rr.. =. contain.
NJ no beautiful stories to gloss over
~ ~ but in them we find . history Of
IN in and sorrow, as we'll ~ truth and
;.htsouspsss. T. The text brings to
Ind the thought OF creating and re-
,ssljnp. The first being created In
he image Of God was Adam. Christ
Lao vas Of Gcd. He conquered death
md now lives in glory, but His people
- still under the influence Of death,
[st all the work Of Christ found in the
S,intures Is 10 abolish death.
Botb these men were Of God, one was
soottsn and the other WAS crested; one
20 from God and the other was from
|hs earth, Adam Was the son Of God,
Cut never was called dod. Christ was
br son of God and was called God.
Botb were progenitors Of . race, one
,ortal and the other immortal. As the
biId Of Adam inherits what Adam in
b.ritsd go will the child Of Christ in
|sri. what Christ inhsrits.
These men were beth placed on the
.rtb on probation. Adams probation
rss short and first, but longer after
Vsrds-94O years. The temptation OF
zach lay in an earthly source. Adams
Az in the forbidden fruit. Christ
xelt in the stones Of the wilderness
vbich the devil wished Him to convert
pto bread in order to satiate His hun
sr Adam WAS weak and listened to
he pleadings Of the tempter, but Christ
vss stronger and answered, Man shall
bot live BY bread alone, but by the
rords which prccesdeth out Of the
mouth Of the Father" The second
Adam endured more temptation than
he first one did.
The old passes away, the new abide
brewer. Marks Of destructisn are visi-
bic everywhere. Upon everything is
Eritten passing away" Visit the old
homestead where oncsyo played when
child. Father and mother are not
here, they peacefully sleep in the
hurcb-y yard, beneath the western
prairie. Brother rests beneath the
Wild waves Of the Atlantic. Sisters and
plsymatss are scattered DER the land,
but sooA the City Of God will come, the
arth will be fitted up for Christ and
Bis people, and tits then that families
Fill be reunited, and We shall meet to
part no more.
In the evening Rev. Geo. R. Kramer
slivered an able discourse from the
words found in Romans !, 16, For l
em not ashamed Of the gospel Of Christ,
FOR it is the power Of God unto salvation
10 every one that believeth; to the Jew
hrst, and also to the Greek"
II am not ashamed of the gospel Of
Christ" From these words there ap
pears to be something connected with
iods words which causes us to rebel.
When the Son of God revealed himself
10 Paul, the latter commenced 10 tell
about it. Although there was some
thiDg about it which caused some to
fsbel, he did not. In Rome the chris.
slans were disgraced people. The
gospel of Christ has for its author and
Pubjec., Christ. He Is the author be-
pause He is Gods preacher, and we'll
9ay it be said "Nsver man spake as
fhis man." lie is the author and great
preacher because He tells about God.
No man knows the Father save he who
Is Of Cod"
Let US rejoice that we have such .
gospel, because Christ is thess author.
sOhn ,t,l the Baptist preached Christ.
Wh-n Jesus preached He preached
nimself. How does this agree with
ms humility? There was no other
'nelne for Him TO preach. "Come unto
me and will give you rest" "Such
|sgotism,' ~, said the speaker, 81 like"
|Whlle he is the ladder which touches
'ne earth, He ia the ladder which
Peaches to the heavens. The apostles
|also preached Him. ~ am determined
nO' 70 know anything among you save
Jesus and Him crucifed." From be-
Ilnd the vail comes the words "Surely
! come quickly" This shows that He
y y, the great theme and author Of the
n'oie: he is like Joseph, of whom it
u SAD, "he is fruitful bough, and his
branches run over the wall" 1t is the
gospel Of Christ, not the gospel of
|. .lesoyterianism, the gospel Of Episco-
p.allanlsm, y. the gospel Of Methodism.
|u. w. We have preached Christ and
him crucifed."
inns gospel is the power of God unto
MI 'a.oh. The power Of a man shows
"hat he is. God has unlimited power,
uh aIu 4. now tie uses His power willShow
,' "na' lie is. Salvation is what God
proposes to do with His power. The
speaker npe said lie loved God, but he did
~ nol make himself love Him. 1t was
,a .ue power of God which caused him to
',v Una .nat Infinite Being.
thd mere is power in this gospel to savsi
nI 1ae worst sinner. "The blood of Jesus
~, Snf,ss II his Son cleanses us from all
s sna he Is able to save us from our
dae;%liesTthe dae;l world, the flesh and the
s... vn, ABLE to save in every trial and
Issfow. W. Fear not, am with tbeel"
God v saves ss us from all sin. "The very
81 sin y. peace sanctify you holy"
e,a",;, n.u;nef, you see the power of God in
his bisa',Un; aa will you accept the power of
vou ssivatlon' ,.'' If you do not accept it
ss" s~a VIII perish. At the close Of this
,.ee ma iour persons arose for prayer,
N 0ne OF them profsssed to be saved.
