REV WALLACE M'MULLIN'S SER
MON AT GRACE CHURCH LAST
NIGHT.

NUN Al GhASE NAUROh Las
NIGHT.
Rev Wallace McMullin, of Grace Nj.
e. Church, Philadelphia, preached a
very impressive sermon at Grace
Church last night, from the text from
the second epistle to the Corinthians,
", 20. In part he said:
ITO be a moralist is to be glorious,
and the moralist who yields to his own
instincts and stops there is not glori-
Gus. The only thing God demands is a
passionate love- A union Of troubled
hearts with His strong arm is but the
spontaneous wish Of the soul to its
lover There is nothing like Gods free
dom. The people must get passion
ately in love with God and get recon
ciled to His methods To be reconeiled
to Gods nature is a great need. Be
We holy, for ! am holy. Religion is the
handspring that makes it possible for
people to go in the way God wants
them. There is great difference be-
tween not doing wrong and doing
right. God wants His people to be
welded to holiness, and to get in love
with God. Men should be in earnest
in the effort to make their lives divine.
There Is only one valley between man
and God, and it is sin. i will cast all
sins into the depths Of the sea, said
the Lord. BE. We reconciled unto
God
