Tho Thursday nights services at the
M~oundsvIlle camp ground were opened
with prayer by Rev. W. \. Denton, fol-
lowed by n selection from the choir,
Christ In AL"
Rev. W. a. Williams, formerly pastor
Of the Presbyterian church OF Mounds
VILE, and president OF Franklin College.
New Athens. o.. preached a most excel
lent sermon from the words-"Ye shall
seek Me, and shall find Ne when ye
search for Ne with all your heart"
uod sent HIS son 10 the world TO live n
sinless lie and to drink the bitter cup
Of death that We might live. There IS
not n sinner here tonight but that the
Holy Spirit has followed all his life. aud
urged him to turn to God and live.
How shall he find God? The text say
yc shall find me when ye seek after me
with your whole heart. You cannot
search for Him with half n heart. but
the whole heart.
F1rSt-Snme seek after Him, reservlng
some precious sin, they cannot give up,
We can give up the EroSser sins, but
some darling one We reserve and try TO
compromise with God. We must give
up every conscious sin. We must come
TO Gods terms or we will never be saved.
Second-Some make n reservation OF
duty. There Is some cross they are not
Wiling 10 bear. Some Orc not willing TO
pray In public. or 10 speak for Chris; In
public, but they can never be saved IN
I'll they are willing TO discharge every
duty that may present itself.
Third-Some will make a reservation
OF tim-. They promise to become n
christian, but the time Is always in the
future. Better to have one now than
all the promises for the FUTURE g. ,a'r
Yesterday mornings service was held
as usual by Rev. +. y. Lynch. His re-
marks were founded IN the words. The
spirit Of Elijah doth rest on Elisha"
This was one OF Of Brother Lynch's very
best talks. The point made was that
whenever u worker falls another takes
his place. The workman may die but
h work goes On. As Elisha received 4
double portion OF Eliiah's spirit, so may
we receive enough OF Christ's spirit by
Che asking, TO enable US 10 do our work
we'll. y prayer and conservation service
was held AT the close.
The II O'Clock sermon was preached by
Rev. II. II. WestwOod, OF the Eastern
Ohio conference. from the words: He
that hath the son hath life: and he That
hath not the son OF God hath not life"
His theme was Christian life" Whn,
Is Christian life? II IL the union OF the
soul with Christ. Il Is the actual recep-
ton and possession OF the son of God in
the heart. When this takes place there
Is unison between God and man. Christ
must abide. must live In the heart. We
must not only have Christ, but He will
have lis.
We must strive actively to keep hold OF
Christ and positively permit Him Ia
keep hold OF US. II we fall TO keep our
hand In Gods hand. ". will find that In
the trying hour we will fail. but II We
hold on 10 Him by faith We will find that
when the :rial comes He will take us UP.
The great mistake OF to-day Is that the
standard of christianity Is set too low,
|. e. many think 1t is not necessary tC
have Christ In the heart. The good. the
noble, those that DO good Will surely be
saved, but the text says we must have
Christ In the heart, and nothing less will
save n man. Except n man BE- born
again he cannot see the kingdom OF
