to Timothy: This is a faithful saying
and worthy Of all acceptation; hat Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sinners,
of whom | am chIet. In this text We
find salvatIon's ~syllogism. Jesus Christ
came to save sinners; He saved Saul. the
chief of sinners. therefore he can save all
sinners. AS we go carrying the glad
tidings, how mighty it makes the message
when we can say out OF a halleluial
swelling heart, He has and does save me.
This knowledge is the rock beneath our
feet. with 1t doubts are swept away, our
lives are illed with sunshine and our
works with the victories OF faith.
Here DR.. Spencer sweetlY sang. Il
VIII Tell it to Jesus, My Lord.
Rev. NJ. Nichols was introduced. He
said: The blind cannot lead the blind
both must fall into the ditch. How can
a man who has never known the glorious
change of conversion, talk about the love
of Christ. No soldier can be loyal who
has no love Tor his country. And no man
can be a valiant soldier of the cross who
does not love Christ. Know Christ, love
Christ, obey Christ, these are the qualifr
cations, seek them. DR.. Spencer added
to the Thoughts on this subject and i'm
pressed them the more deeply with sew
eral songs which he was requested to
sing. Tram time. and with the Doxology
and B~enediction we adjourned to 20 down
aud meet Bishop Andrews, DR.. Peck and
Rev. S. Wier.
EVENING SESSION.
In the rosy twilight twas a most beau
tiiul and impressive sight to see people
coming from all directions to the house of
God Down town the band was discours-
ing sweet music, but at the little church
there was a mightier attraction-heavenly
music-songs of salvation, lead by Rev.
w. A. Spencer conducting the Church
Extension anniversary. One song espcci
ally delightful was We'll Never Say
Good Rye in Heaven"
After a joyful song service, Rev. S.
Weir. of Cheyenne, lead IN a responsive
reading OF the scripture. Rev. c. ID.
Day lead in prayer. DIR. Spencer was iu-
trOduced and began his remarks by show
ing the connection between giving and
praying, Hard times have always been
good times. In good times this world
keeps men busy. In hard times they
give more time to God so that Col can
give them more of Himself, and cover
this world with glory. Hard umes in 1857
aud the revival otreligIon prepared this IA
ton to survive the most horrible war that
this world ever knew. With 50. 600, 900,
600 OF a uationaldebt, God brought out this
nation that seemed the beggar nation of
the world, from under the ponderous bur
den, a benevolent nation, hungry for the
salvation of the world. God has been
teaching us that it is His will that the
church should march across tine seas for
the capture of the planet. God has
ordered out His troops 10 take the world
for Christ, and God has made you who
remain at home the commi-sary depart
ment in this war. Give and pray; If you
would pray effectually Rive-Glve your
selves and all that you nave TO God. God
ia pouring upon this world a pentecost of
glory. o, il YOU will receive it He will
pour it upon YOU. Surrender yourselves
and all that you have to God. tDr. SDen
Ger gave Is statistics glowing with the
miracles of Gods goodness Glory to
God TOR a church hat perfumes every
hour OF the year with halleluiahs to God.
God wake us mp tonight to behold the
surrounding glory. We need to build FIVE
churches. We need to build 500 churches
for the o whites in the South.
Rev. r.. j Davenport, who six weeks
ago invited the conference and selected a
bishop to come and dedicate a church that
had nothing but a sage-brush foundation
and no other existence save that existence
which it had in the brave heart aud faith
Of this man OF God. God bless himl
Would that it would cloud up and rain
such preachers upon this dry country for
six weeks.
While DR.. Spencer q cards were
distributed through the large congregation
for $40 pledges for the Church Extension
society. Twelve cards were signed. which
means twelve more soldiers to the army
of the cross and $l2O more from the
church extension fund to help build
