Rev. MIR. Mashburn at the Y. NJ. G. A.
Sunday Afternoon.
Notwithstanding the exceedingly
warm weather there was good at
tendance at the mems meeting at the
Y. M. c. A Sunday afternoon.
Rev. Fl. FL. Mashburn, OF Wake
Forest College, delivered a most ex-
cellent address on the subject; Are
There Any Hopeless Cases?"
Mr.. Mashburn began his talk by
saying that if THIS town has no very
great sinners it is quite different from
the average town Of this size
And if we have them here then it
comes within the scope OF this Assoc
citation and the church to save just
such men. We should take courage
and not give up anyone in all this
town as hopeless as long as we can
get them to even think about Jesus
Christ.
In connection with the subject the
speaker said he might ask the ques-
tion: Are there any cases which
are not hopeless apart from the
atoning blood of Christ our
Saviour" Thorough faith and
reliance on Him is the only way by
which men can be saved from their
sins. All cases not touched by Jesus
blood are hopeless, but there are
rome so low in sin but that Jesus can
save them. The Lord saved one man
the thief on the cross-in the very
hour OF death that men might not
despair, and only ope that men might
not presume to live in sin. Ii we can
only get men to really confess their
sins we have gone long way towards
saving them The thief on the cross
confessed and Jesus caused death it.
self to halt that he might save man
in the very mouth of death. AS long
as YOU can get a man to look to Jesus
Christ his case is not hopeless.
