Eloquent Preaching and Revival.
Rev. G. A. Grise delivered a pow en-
full. extemporaneous sermon to
Brandywine Nj. f. Church Sunday
| forenoon. His text was Exodus XXIIf;
20, 2l: behold / send an Angel be-
fore thee, to keep thee in the way, and
to bring thee into the place which l
| have prepared Beware OF him, and
obey his voice, provoke him not, for
| he will not pardon your transgressions,
for my name is In Him."
| Gods kindness to Israel Is typical of
| His bearing toward the whole human
race in all time. The preacher en-
phasized Gods mercy and outlined the
history Of the Children Of Israel.
| They, having rejected the Son OF
God and rebelled againt him, were de-
stroyed as nation. Yet Gods mercy
is replete. His promises are exceed
ingly precious, His promise is to
guide US and in the future give us
everlasting life. But we rebel and the
result is the destruction of our ne ace
and keeping US in a,5tate OF excl emsnt.
The speaker here depicted the weak
ness OF human nature. The tendency
of humanity is to jog along in q sort
OF shiftless and thoughtless way.
| Ii Gabriel came and pictured to
every person in this house his or her
true condition, not one would leave be-
fore making perfect and full conse-
| Grafton to God. just MS Jesus
reached crisis in His life so each of
His followers does. . . The Angel was
the gratuitous gift of Jehovah. We
do well to contemplate Gods exalted
position. He came from Ills peace, !
know not what place. II is realm
that envelopes all celestial spheres and
the whole Universe.
The Angel came to execute his mis-.
sion in the interest oil the Kingdom of
God. He is truthful, pure and trans
parent. He Is in the interest of truth
and will lead in the way of all truth.
He insures tho standing OF all his fol
lowing creatures. His mission Is pure
ly unseliish. He is Gods own well be.
loved Son and His Vlcegerent the Holy
Ghost. Jesus Christ, the Son Of God,
was preached in ante.diluvian times.
He was with Moses. He Was in the
lives OF the prophets.
Obedience is the first duty to God.
No man sins until he disobeys. Every
sin is preceded by tho sin OF omission.
1t is heretical idea TO think that no
man sins until he omits a duty. Let
everybody read DR.. Drummond on
that line, The first duty toward God
is to obey Him. The second is not to
provoke Him.
People make grand mistake when
they assume that God needs them II
1t is because God pities US that be pre-
pares salvation. He is here in our in
terest. The orator here alluded to the
4 18th and 18th chapters of st. John,
which he had read. ii l follow Him lie
will guide me to where He Is.
People sometimes ask what Is the
objectionable SIM / have q word OF
advice to give. Be sure you do not
commit it. Do not provoke Him. He
is your dearest friend and comes un.
selilshly to save you.

felt very uncomfortable and knew
something was stolen, but | did not

said he knew what IL WIS. The enemy
had stolen the picture of my father.
| My friend told me to keep quiet and
1 do nothing and he would overcome
the enemy and recover the picture for
me. This he did and instructed me to
have no further association with the
enemy, lest he should steal it again or
/ otherwise wrong Iue.
| You and ], my unconverted friend,
in our natural state, stand robbed of
| the image of our Heavenly Father.
Satan, our enemy, has stolen our
| Heavenly Fathers picture from us.
jesHs Christ is our friend who col .
qners our greatestsenemy. Satli, and
restores Our Heavenly Father tu us
and rs to Him. We are to follow Jesus
in the straight and narrow way. He
will lead us safely through all diiii-
eulties. He will bless our bread and
sanctify the water We drink. He will
bless our sustenance, he will bless us
physically as we'll as mentally and
spiritually.
He led the Children of Israel through
Canaan, the land OF fertile planes and
| valleys, that flowed with milk and
| honey that abounded in grapes and
] fruits, and luscious vegetation, and
| yet which the followers OF Moses and
Joshua found Inhabited by a viseious,
hostile, warlike and corrupt people.
Gods people captured tho Canaanites
MS they did the Jebusites who lived
| upon the hlllsides, and the Amorites
who were the giants OF theH0untains.
The preacher throughout his dis
course, analytically illustrated the
Gospel dispensatiou by the history of
the Hebrews.
