to God must below that He is, an,
that He Is rewarder OF thom tina
diligently seek HIM."
There 10 nothing so important n
faith. even In this life The lack o
faith is almost the sole cause OF tn
stopping OF the machinery of thl
country. The faith Is the same
whether 1t be faith In God or faith II
man. Faith is only transferred from
one to the other. Let us to-day hav
faith In God for salvation.

Rev. I. +. Carpenter, OF Townsend
was tho preacher and he took his tex
from st. John 5, 16; For God 50 love,
tho world that He gave his only beg OF
ten Son. that whatsoever believeth II
him should not perish but have ever
lasting life." In opening tho speake
said II any one was to ask him to tel
the teAt which contained this entlr,
Gospel story he would direct hun t,
the one Just quoted. In IL was con
tanned the greatest tragedy of tn
worlds history. the sacrifice OF tn
Son Of Goa for the sake OF mankint
and the world.
The text declares that the sacrifice
was made for the world Not tn,
world In all it's purity. In all its Low,
and IN all it's perfectness. Ii was no
such world that God looked upoI
but one against which tue gates o
paradise were shut. a world blasted by
sin, one whose inhabitants were de
graded and corrupt. This is the pres
lent world.
Tho mere declaration. he said, meant
nothing. We want some demonstra
tion OF tho statement. lie then. b,

strates its love. But how does Got
