REV. II. W. HURLBUTT.
Sinners Saved by Grace-How the Gospel II
Preached.

Scripture reading from Jno, chapter I,
followed by prayer by the pastor in
thanksgiving for the many opportunities
during the day of doing Gods service, as
well as for the many manifold gifts of His
love; also for the young converts, that
they may be fervent and consecrated work
ers in the vineyard, as well as for any
whose souls long for the divine indwelllng
spirit. 'Shall a sinner, yearning after
God, and Inerciful God yearning after a
sinner be long separated"
In opening, the evangelist spoke OF the
very excellent audiences with which he has
been favored considering the season OF the
year. Also announced baptisms this and
succeeding evenings of the week.
He further enlarged upon the gratitude
to the EAGLE editor for his preaching of
the gospel through his columns in such
generous measure, and asked the blessing
of God on the paper as it goes to the
homes of thousands and is read on the
many trains over this wide land by thous-
ands more.
The evangelist took for his text: 'It is a
faithful saying and worthy Of all accepta-
ton, that Christ Jesus came into the
world TO save sinners, of whom l am
chief" The portion of the sermon devoted
to the presentation of thoughts suggested
by this text was shorter than usual, that
there might be more time devoted to the
examination and reception of candidates
for baptism. He explained how Jesus
Christ the son of the living God had
actually came into this wicked world to
save, not the righteous, but sinners. He
came to man in all his degradation and
depravity, experienced human temptation.
suffering, death, the grave, and rose again
and went back again to his Heavenly
Father. Christ came not to promise to
save. not TO make it possible to be saved,
but to save. And not to save for a time,
but once for all time. To be in Christ is TO
be saved from the condemnatin of the law.
We are treated not as sinners unrepent-
ant, but as sinners fled to the riven rock.
he is faithful to make man new creature
in regeneration; faithful in giving growth
in grace, faithful to establish and keep
from all evil, faithful to the end. God
help you to accept Open the door of your
heart and let the Savior in.
At the close of the sermon six persons
were received for membership in the
church.
