NAESET STREET BAPTIST.
Rev. j. ". Read preached from the text
found i'm ''Colossians, iii 3. He said:
There are mysteries connected with
everything With which We come in contact.
Every d4y we accept facts which we have
no poser To accurately explain. We enjoy
the odor OF beautiful flower, but who can
tell all the processes of growth from the
termination to the waiting OF the odor
upon the gentle breeze. Ii Is thus with the
mystery connected with the new life in the
soul. The working of the Holy Spirit u the
soul Is 4 mystery which defles the feepest
penetration OF the keeneSt intellect. The
fact. however. OF the Christian lie remains
We may not know how Ii Is accomplished
bat We are compelled Ia accept that which
IS produced by the operation OF the Spirit
This text Will be considered just as il
stands. First a death, second a life, and
third that life hid with Christ in God AT
first thought this text seems a paradox
The idea that death produces life and that
such a Life IS hid seems almost contradic-
tory. When fully understood these wosds
are easy TO harmonic.
Death here means dead TO sin, in the
sense of turning away from it. Just as
when a man changes his life from that of
drunkenness to one OF sobriety he becomes
dead 10 his old habits
When one accepts Christ he becomes
dead 10 the ways OF Satan
A a result of this death. life comes. As
life comes forth from the death of the seed
80 Christian life comes from the death Of
the old self. No life is useful except as il
is vigorous. livery life for Christ should
be vigorous one, because nothing else
viii satisfy Him.
Two things must be seen in every germ
in life.
First-There will be activity.
Second-Growth must be seen in every
real life for Christ. This is bound 10 follow
exercise Growth Is proof OF life, and where
there Is no growth there Is no evidence of
life. \ man who had a vineyard noticed
that the vines suffered for lack of moisture
50 he had men carry water and put il about
the roots, and change vas perceptjble
Just as soon, however. as the work ceased
the vines withered. lie then attached n
pipe to a neyer-failing fountain OF water. so
that il might continually flow over the
ground, and so produce perpetual life. We
may try to water our souls by the good
deeds OF life, but they are Intellectual in riv-
ing perpetual life Tor God. What We
need is 10 attach ourselves To God through
Christ. and through prayer let the water 81
