l. WHAT ONE HAS TO OVERCOME
I. Self.
Passions are to be overcome, appetite curbed,
self put under. Self is mans greatest enemy, Al
ways present, ever persistent. 1t must be over
come. Man must master self or be mastered by
self. So many men are slaves and eeif is first and
ever ruling. No one can do us SO great An injury
as self. 1t is indeed the worst enemy.
2. The world.
The Puritan fathers came to the western coun.
try for religious liberty. Plymoth rock was
sanctuary. Their ocean voyage was for God, and
in his name they set up their banners. Men come
to the rev west prompted by different motives
1t is lands, lots, merchandise, trade. commerce,
fame, power, Office. Not that there is any sin in
themselves in these things but these things over
come the man and reign supreme. He must over
come the world. 1t is the dark spot of corruption
that lie corroding the sonl. 1t must be driven out,
subdued. overcome, or it will in It. march for vic
tory drive out the man and sit as tie king on the
throne.
3. The devil.
The easiest Of all foes; one who will fee when
"thus saith the Lord" or'it is written" is thrown
into his face.
No man will drift into holiness. Tie palm be-
longs to the victor.
sure must feht II would reign"
II. How OxR NAY ovKEconK.

These things have spoken unto you that in me
yc might have peace. In the world ye shall have
tribGlation; but be Of good cheer: have over
come the world.-John 16 :32.
Ye are OF God, little children, and have over
come them: because greater is he that is In you,
than nc that IL in the world. John A..
can do all things through Chris: which .trsng-
| theneth me. Phil. Alb.
2. By Faith.
And this Is the victory that ovcycometh the
world even our faith. Who is he that o~ercometh
the world but he that bclieveth that Jesus lie the
Son Of God. Jchn5:4, 5.
3. In the strength Of q regenerated nature.
For whatsoever is born Of God ovcrcometh the
world. John as.
The power Of Christian character is unknown.
Men admire it, and are led captive by it.
4. Az the fruit Of their testimony.
And they overcame him by the blood of the
Lamb and by the word Of their testimony. Rev.

the witnesses and not the argument Of the sttor-
ney.
