stone for sure foundation" The speaker
began his talk by giving the history OF tho
text. which is that OF the resort OF the ten
tribes OF Israel against the house OF David.
The argument OF the preacher was based
upon the thoug ht that the security of the
church depends upon its foundation, and
that its per petutty upon the fact that tho
foundations have been tried and proved to
be sure.
Herod tried them when he attempted to
destroy the church by killing the babes OF
Bethlehem. The devil tried them In the
temptation OF Christ. The Romans at
tempted 1t when they prosecuted and
exiled the early christians.' The perpet-
ulty OF the church is assured by the
knowledge and experience OF mnnktnd;
by the father to their children; by the
promises OF God that have been verlfiet
In human experience. which have proven
that the only foundation ia that laid ia
Christ. the founder and guardian OF the
Church OF God.
