Christian friends, plan to attend all
OF these meetings as we do not have such
an opportunity very often. "They that
wait upon the Lord shall renew their
strength. The public are cordially in
vited.
II was glad when they said unto me,
let US go into the house of the Lord"
The meetings in the Congregational
church conducted by Evangelist John
Coldwell are already awakening con-
siderable interest. The attendance is
good, notwithstanding the very cold
weather and there is evidently a deep
interest in the word spoken. The pres
ence of the Spirit is manifest. A cor
dial and earnest invitation is extended
to all to attend these meetings during
the short time that they will be held:
Seek ye the Lord while He may be
found; cali W. sppena Him, while He is
near .sse.4.
Come unto Me-" Matt. 11-2S.
This Is the royal invitation, for it is
given by the king of kings. We are SO
familiar with the words that we fail to
r'alize them. & Maythe Holy Spirit open
our ears that we may hear the voice of
our king in them and that they may
reach our souls with imperative power.
"Lord, to whom shall We go? Not to
what shall We co. for the heart within
US cravesSa~ personal, living, rest and
refuge. AS surely as you and I are por-
sons, real separate. existanees,- so surely
must we have person, no less real and
Individual, to whom to 60 in our more
or less conscious, need Of salvation. And
SO the word of Invitation, royal and di-
vine is given to us, .'@Cornc unto Ne. a. ~
Unto Me-" Just think what that
one word means: Suck out all # the
great and wonderful titles of Christ for
yourself and aeffteaaftek bach sene land
He says come INTO Me, the Mighty God
nothing less than that, mighty to save,
and ready 70 save me. I =
Then seek ont all the exqaisitely win
ming beauties OF the character and words
and ways of Him who went about doing
good, till you have heard Him and OBJ
served Him all through those years of
patient and perfect ministry and recol-
l,ct all the time that it is He who says
to you, Come unto m:,. Unto Him, the
man, Christ Jesus, full of compassion
and tenders t:royal grace.
hThen look at the great central scsne
w shss3aiyerse; look at the Savior, who
HE own 'sself bear our sins in Hi,
own body on the tree;" who loved you
and gave himself for you. Look at the
Crucified Ono and as you gaze, lie NOM
Dor that He says CONS unto mo.
Then look at tho gloritied Saviour
coming out,d the tomb. Hear Him
say ''all power IS given unto me in hea-
ven and ON earth; see Him ascend into
heaven; remember that He is a living,
reigning, almighty, loving Saviour and
that He says come unto, mo. Hs is
roignang now and all arc either willing
and loyal subjects OR actual rebels. Those
who have obeyed the Kings call an9
come, or tn ,se who have made light Of
it and not come. Which are you9 If
have not come already, will you not
come now?
Evangelist Coldwen and wife will take
up their abode at Mr.. E. s. An lerson's
,while they remain with us.
