AT THE TABERNACLE.
Sunday $50 A. NJ.

hrs this morning showed an increase Of
rs per cent. in five weeks with very large
enrolment in senior classes yet to be
made. The school work is skillfullY or
gained in everything necessary to give
order and the most highly approved meth
DDS of instruction. We noticed an IN
usually large number of aged persons in
the school. 1t is interesting to note the
distinctive evidence of attention in the
different classes. A semi circle of scholars
on the right, the teacher in the center
and every little face aglow with interest as
they largely catch every word that
teacher speaks. Christ once said of little
children Their angels do not always
stand in the presence OF my Father" and
l can but believe that they bend earthward
with an interest born of heavens love as
they look in upon the opportunities and
possibilities of Sunday school work. What
may not consecrated intelligent teacher
do thus joined with our Lord and Savior
and ministering spirits, in the salvation OF
the children. The salvation of the children
of this generation means the evangelical
ton of the entire world in the fifty
years We already hear the great &C
claim ''The Kingdoms of this world
have become the kingdom Of the Lord and
his Christ"
The sermon at 1915 in the forenoon Sun
day, text, Psalms 1876 ''There is a river
the streams whereof shall make glad the
city of God, the Holy Place of the Taber-
nacle of the Most High"
The church is the city of God" said
the evangelist. Attention was then called
to names by which this city was desig-
|
to Isaiah 66:12, AcJs 20:2S, Romans 1915,
l. Corinthians 1:2. etc. The law governing
this city is contained in the twenty-one
apostolic epistles. Christ is the river
that runs through the midst of the
city of God as a mighty channel,
carrying away all that is impure as He
bore our sins and suffered for our trans
gressions, making Himself an offering
for sins"
Some of "the streams of this river
that make glad the city of God" were
designated as % The preaching OF the
gospel, o. prayer, 90 singing the songs of
Zion, ETC., etc.
The tabernacle was far too small for the
accommodation of all who came. There
we're several confessions aud large num-
Der were received into the fellowship of
the church and nearly 600 partook of the
communion. The meeting is growing in in
terest and increasing in attendance every
hour. Ample picnic arrangements to feed
| all who came were made, SO that none
! needed to leave the Tabernacle between
| the forenoon and the service at p. m. So
cial and religious greetings with many
fearful remembrance of the past and hope
! full outlook to the future strengthened ties
| that will not be severed in time nor eter-
nifty.
MEETING 3 P. NJ.
This meeting was addressed by Updike,
A. A. Glenn, J. NJ. Atwater and others. 1t
was very interesting and profitable hour
in which the history and labors of the
Central Church of Christ in Wichita was
sketched, with many touching Incl
dents and trials peculiar to the
years that are passed. The aged
rejoiced in what had been done through
the sustaining grace and blessing of God,
while the young were encouraged and
made more hopeful of future develop
ment.
The usual invitation being given several
persons came forward and made confess
sion of their faith in Christ
s. p, m.-subject of discourse was 1.-THE
Great Renovation" text-Mat. 1929;
"Ye that have followed me in the regen-
Grafton where the son of man shall sit on
the throne of his glory We shall sit on
twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes
Of Israel" The evangelist showed that
the Regeneration" or renovation" was
to begin on earth on the first Pentacost
after the resurrection of Christ from the
dead, and that the judgment by the
twelve apostles as recorded in the second
chapter of the Acts of the apostles was the
judging of the twelve tribes of Israel"
Christ had assembled and ''set down on the |
right hand of the throne of God"
1.-THE throne of His glory" and |
had sent the Holy Spirit down |
and these judging apostles "Spake |
as they were moved by the Holy Spirit" |
Hence the judgment rendered by these |
apostles was infallible, and from it there !
can be no appeal. The record of the twelve |
apostolic judges, as they were that day en-
throned with knowledge, power and au
thority to judge the Twelve Tribes of |
Israeli is kept in the book of Gods re-
membrance, and by it every man shall be
judged at the last day.
"The law of the spirit of life in Christ
Jesus makes US free from the law of sin
and DEATH" and is one and the same under
all circumstances, and to all persons to the
end of time.
This sermon was we'll and impressively
illustrated and listened to by the largest
audience yet convened in and around the
tabernacle, while a great number were IN
able to get in hearing distance.
rarsonc ia GOV, faScior of ai |
In Christ, and anumber were received into
fellowship.
The whole number of accessions to the
close this evening was 500, and yet there is
q vastly greater interest than at any time
before
Monday, p. m.-Subiect of discourse
was Obedience" Matt. Z, 81: ''Not every
one that saith Lord. Lord, shall enter into
the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth
the will of my Father which is in heaven"
Doing things that some one may name
and doing the will of Him who announces
the things differ in a very important sense.

gardless of the will that makes the COM
mand, may be attributable TO any motive
or desire that can touch or prompt a hu.

The speaker gave a very full and i'm :
pressive description of Christ's submission
to the Fathers will according 10 his own
words: II came down from Heaven not
TO do mine own will but the will of Him
