and testimony as to their belief IN he
Bible, founded upon practical exFri'
ence. After a short exhortatiohD y
Mrs. Robinson upon inviting those no
wished the prayers Of the churcnhi,
teen responded, six oil whom proiSed
conversion. Al the Sunday moring
services the audience was unusuly
large for the morning service. Atterhe
usual opening exercises Mrs. Robipn
preached from Genesis 1928, aud he

|. What and who was Jacob; wat
and who was Isreal?
2. Individual influence and iull n
| secratiOn.
Mrs. Robinson held her audiencebr
| over one hour in b~reathlesS and intete
interest. The treatment Of her subFt
gave evidence Of unusual knOwledgei
biblical as well as modern history al
events. In her best manner, she dat
with Jacobs past life, Of honor, ian,
influence and his sins OF life, on the to
topics she dealt wildly with Cos
dealings with Jacob IN his life oi tri,
suffering, submission, and full cont'
Grafton to the will OF God. Then it VS.
that God said, "Thy name shall o
more be called Jacob but Israel Te
sermon was a mastery effort, IN lft
| her best since she has been in our cit.
After the sermon, twenty-three ~
| sented themselves at the altar to be D.
mitted upon probation.

services, the church Was filled to It's
most capacity. Hundreds were unale
TO gain admittance, and were Obligcdo
leave. All that possibly could he wee
packed in the ~aisleS, altar and yestlhurS
ON either side Of the church. The g.
cellent choir rendered the music Tor to
evening in a magnificent way, givig
evidence that every member has the p
tercst and reputation OF the choir u
heart.
Although Mrs. Robinson had talkd
for at least two hours during the dN,
she seemed 10 be as fresh rs IL she nd
not passed through two weeks OF eXcS-
sive work. She evidently receives te
divine inspiration and strength frdn
Him she is SO earnestly pr~esentingto
the masses. Her sermon was from st
King 1919, "What doest thu
here, Elijah2" Elijah'S influence vas
powerfully portrayed, and then appltd
10 our " times. Our influence; Ga,
what is it? Are We using it Tor ne
devil, or for Christ? What are III
fathers doing? Arc they setting X
amples that their sons should iolDw
ana tread in, or are they by their x
amples sending our sons of AmcIca
headlong to hell? What are Il sns
doing? Are they living Tor Christ? 10!
they are following mothers and lathr'S
example. Fathers and mothers, So to
it that your examples are not the dIn-
nation of your sons and daughters.
The mothers and daughters inlu-
ence is such as TO he the influence Tat
will save the world, We are beang
and subduing our COnscienCes 80 hat
our influence will be the eternal DANA
ton OF our souls. After al arncs APP

their influence should be- for Christ, 4
