MuNHALL MEETINGS
Afternoon and Evening Services at
the Tabernacle

Simpson auditorium was we'll filled
at the afternoon revival meeting yester-
day to hear Dr. Munhall on the resurrec-
ton.
The evangelist read several proph-
ecies from the Bible concerning the
resurrection and those uttered by Christ
himself. He also discussed the import
snce of the overwhelming testimony ol
the more than five hundred who saw
him after he arose from the tomb. II
Christ has not risen, then are we in oui
Isins. and without hope. The resurrec-
tion is matter of revelation the wisest
man that ever lived knows absolutely
nothing about resurrection except what
he has learned from the Bible. 1t can
be learned nowhere else.
my Bible tells me that my body Is the
beautified temple created for the
dwelling of the holy ghost. David saw
an open grave in his path, and knew he
must enter it: he looked beyond, and
with prophetic vision beheld his risen
Lord, who, he declared, would not leave
his soul in the grave.
"Only the body goes into the dust.
therefore. the body must rise from the
grave. Who raised up Christ from the
dead? The Holy Spirit and the Holy
Spirit will raise your bodies from the
grave when he comes to claim his jew
els AS in Adam all men died. SO in
Christ shall all be made alive"
At the evening service the Taber-
nacle was again packed with an inter-
ested audience. Dr. Munhall chose for
his text Hebrew 1924. "The blood of
sprinkling speaketh better things than
the blood of Abel" The blood of sprink-
ling here spoken of is the blood of Jesus
Christ ehed for your redemption. There
must be reconciliation before acceptance,
therefore Gains offering was rejected
and Abers offering was accepted. The
love saves no one; it can save no one,
yet he 90 loved the world that he gave
his son to die for US HE was wound
ed for our iniquities. He was bruised for
our transgressions." We are not re-
deemed with corruptible things as ell
yer and gold, but by the blood of Christ
When God justifies the sinner he be-
comes as guiltless as though he had
never sinned at all; being justified by
Chriet's death, 1 am guiltless before the
law; my sins cast behind him, where
he can never see them; cast into the
depths of the sea, where they can never
come to the surface.
Therefore we are saved from spirit
ual death, and it is for us to remember
his chaetisement was for our peace.
Since Christ shed his blood for the sin
ner he is the propitiation for our sins,
and for the sins of the whole world. No
man knows what peace is unless he
knows something of the horrors of war.
What rejoicing there was when the dark
death angel had been driven back to his
native hell and gentle peace spread her
white wings over our beloved land.
Some of my comrades can remember.
Beneath the thickening shadows of
Getheemane he agonized and bore the
weight of our sins, and cried: IF it be
possible, let this cup pass by, oh, my
Father, yet not my will, but thine, be
DONE" Led as a lamb to the slaughter
that his blood might wash us whittier
than enow. 1t was shed for you, my
brother, my sister. Hear it! Hear it!
Salvation is for you. Will you accept it ?
Be wise, that you may enjoy the recon-
ciliation and adoption into the family
of Christ, cleansed by the precious blood
with an everlasting salvation, by the
blood that speaketh better things than
the blood of Abel
