] CunI2F morning faS1or SINS OF the
Central church of Christ was greeted with
| q large audience The sermon was prac-
| teal and impressive and designed TO
awaken in each personal member of the
church sense of individual responsibility.
He gives timely and emphatic notice that
In the warfare against sin and satin. no
one in the division of the forces Of Christ
| under his care and direction viii be iu-
differently regarded as to the influence
they exert. There are at least three asti-
| tudes or conditions in which influence is
exerted, viz: Processing much and doing
nothing; protesting much good and doing
badly, and protesting and doing in the
sight OF God and man, that which IS right.
The importance of united and conse-
Grated effort has history embracing the
greatest achievements of Christianity
! since Jesus hung upon the cross; nor is
the influence and Importance OF individual
effort less conspicuous. Every age, every
crisis, every revolution and every renova-
tion that has greatly affected mankin d
for good or evil has been largely evolved
from personal agencies. A great and
lamented premier OF the British empi re
said, ''the history of England shows that
been attached to systems and plans and
not enough TO individual men,
The man for the occasion has large
/ place in history. There was a time ard
place for Luther, Calvin, Wesley and
! Campbell Their works and words will
reach through the ages OF time and eterni-
/ ty alone can fully measure their influence
I The true measure of every human respon-
sibility in the sight OF God is man ability
and opportunity to do Gods will What
is the greatest thought that ever entered
| your mind? Daniel Webster replied, THE
| thought of my responsibility to God" Re-
/ sponsibility implies ability and opportu-
nifty. and God says, He who through
| faithful continuance in well doing seeks
for honor and glory and immortality in
eternal life, but to them that are
| disobedient and obey not the
truth Indignation and wrath, trib-
! ulation and anguish to every soul of
man" Personal conservation in purpose
! in courage in word and deed land pray
/ ing with all prayer and application in the
| spirit and watching thereunto,' permit
/ ting no opportunity to pass unimproved
/ in which to exert influence in word and
J
perative demands imposed upon the
| Christian soldier who would fight the
good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal
| life''
! Six persons were received into the
/ church.
MONDAY EVENING.
! The Introductory prayer and praise SER
! vice Monday evening was led by r. I.
1 Dawson The attendance and very gener-
/ al participation in the exercises was re .
assuring and benediction to all who wit
messed the evident spiritual development
of so large 3 number of young people,
while those of more mature years and aged
| far advanced in the journey Of life seemed
! to be renewed in their aspirations and
/ spiritual lives. Anything really aproxi-
mating true description of such meet
| ing is not in the power of any pen nor
| tongue believing we rejoiced with JOY
| inexpressable and full of glory"
Subject of discourse the "Deceitfulness
of Sin" Sin is deceitful, satin is never
better pleased than when he misleads men.
| It is written of those who willfully reject
/ the truth, that ''for this cause God shall
send them strong delusion, that they
might believe lie, that they might be
damned who believe lie and have pleas
ure in unrighteousness." The conscious
| ness becomes deadened and indifference
| and hardness of heart. 1t is after the
| policy of satin to use some portion of the
| truth bat SO comingled with error and
/ falsehood as to lead to error, deception,
/ failure and death. The deceitfullness of
Sin"
| Jesus says II am the way, the truth and
the lifen Jesus is the way" If any
man be in Christ he is q new creature; old
things have passed away and behold all
things have become new" Jesus Is the
truth" The truth with reference to God.
He is God manifest in the flesh" lie is
the truth in reference to man He was
tempted in all points as we are and yet
without SIN" He was touched with the
feeling of our infrmaties. He was
man of SORROWS and acquainted with
grief" Jesus is the truth with reference
to immortality for life and immortality
are brou xht to light by the resurrection
of Jesus, he said, ~ have power lay down
Ny life and | have power to take II up
again" Who will not tccept such sal
vation? Who will not follow such SAVIOR
OH if you reject Him the dark hour will
come when infinite justice will declare be-
fore an assembled universe, we knew your
duty but We did it not"
Two young men made confession OF
faith in Christ and one was received into
the church relation. The interes is un
tagging and the outlook is very hopeful
