TWO SERMONS AT ONE SERVICE.
DR.. Gordon's sermon the "Resurrec-
uon." and he first spoke the resurrection OF
Christ and the resurrection Of believers. He gave
many proofs of Christs resurrection. and said
that Christ went through the doors which
closed as easily as the sunlight comes through
pane Of glass. Jesus Christ abolished death"
he said but you will ask II Christians do not
die as we'll as the ungodly? Abraham Lincoln
abolished slavery. but the decree did not go into
effect for some time. Christ has abolished death.
but the decree has not gone into effect" In con-
clusion Dr. Gordon said that the resurrection body
would be like Chrsts body. which was His own
glorifed
Mr. Moody followed with one Of his practical
addresses on "Grace." Grace" he said was I'M
merited favor and is given as gift. People are
trying merit salvation by their own WORKS. IN
stead OF taking II as Gods gift.
