Elder j. T. Bcttcher, of Union college
delivered sermon. The word of God
describes the present age as we'll as the
past. We are living in an evil age, yet
God has people of his own in this
perverse generation, Text Zeph. 3:12,
13. Here is a remnant of Israel spok-
en- of that shall not do iniquity, but
shall trust in the name of the Lord.
While majority of the people of God
departed from the Lord, remnant
still ,clung to Him, and thus it is now.
We have also been guilty of sacrificing
our sons and daughters to strange Gods,
although not literally as did Israel
In all of these passages there is a
remnant spoken of. The wicked who
today live on this earth owe their ex-
istence to the few righteous who are
living. make this assertion, which
also can be proved from the bible, that
if it were not for the righteous low
living the earth would be consumed.
Isiah l:9 and Romans 9:29 corroborates
this statement. There is a small rem
nant spoken of while the majority of
the people OF God departed from Him.
This small remnant has opposition to
meet-they have to stem the tide of the
masses. God will have remnant peo-
pie in the last days. Rev. 1917. This
remnant keeps the commandments of
God and the testimony of Jesus. They
will finally stand on Mt Zion. Rev.
l5:l.
Elder G. F. Watson addressed the
audience at the Corn Palace Monday
night at $50 o'clock, his text being
Heb. 8: 27-20. To those who look for
him Christ will come and save them
from death, He came at his first advent
into this world to save from sin Math.
1921. What is sin? The transgression
OF the law Of God. Christ Jesus has
given his own life to break the bon
dage of sin and redeem man from both |
sin and death. 10 order that we may be
ready to receive Him when He comes |
and have that eternal life which He is
so willing to give US we must study |
Him daily iu this life, not study about
Him but study Him. Study His life
and walk as He walked, live as He llv.
ed, pure aud holy life. Some have
thought that all men have life by ma
ture, that measures with the life of
God, but if this were true we would not
need to come TO Jesus for eternal life.
we would not need Savior to bring 10
US eternal life, but while this is true we
may by faith claim eternal life, and
'aith being substance, or in other
words, faith makes thing reality to
Us. Heb. Ill. 1t makes the entire
plan Of salvation fact to those who be-
lieve in Christ we have life, eternal
life.
First Judges 5:l2 says that He that
hath the son hath life, and he that hath
not the son Of God hath not life" We
have the Son Of God by faith, and hav-
ng Him thus we shall have tS all eter-
nifty: all the life that He Himself has if
we continue faithful.
Col. 3:3, I, says: For We are dead,
md your life is hid with Christ in God,
When Christ, who is our life, shall al
pear, then shall ye also appear with
Him in glory"
Brethren and sisters let US be faith
ul that when He appears we may in
Iced appear with Him in glory and
'eceive that eternal life, which is now
lid with Christ in God and which we
low have by faith, but which we shall
hen have in fact.
There were great many arrivals al
