THE GREAT TRUTHS CAMPAIGN
VARLEY's MISSION
WORK IN SAVANNAH.


Erqlish Preacher-"Can Man
1xnoXy That He Is Saved and
ov,,, and "The Broken Image
pomovcd' His Subjects at Yester-
days Services.
..--be Great Truths Campaign" is Mr.
,-,~lev,s description of the work in which
80 is engaged in Savannah. Yesterdays
services indicated the rising of the tide of
interest in the mission now in progress at
the First Baptist Church.
Al the Il O'Clock service the English
preacher announced his subject: "Assur-
arce ar Can A Man Know Certainly that
He is Saved and How?'' Mr.. Varley's def
,ition of assurance" was new to many
THE heart of the term is found in the syl-
Liable sure certainty or TO coin word
eureness, assurance is necessarily relat-
"a TO knowledge and pertains to the IN
derstandng), hence it is written unto all
riches of the full assurance of the under
standing"
Assurance, the preacher said, is that
state or condition of the mind which is
attained when sufficient and trustworthy
evidence has been received which war
rants the conclusion arrived at. For ex-
ample: If we were in court of justice
and evidence is given in our hearing or
by other means from three or four wit
nesses proving the guilt of the prisoner
being tried, we know that ne is guilty, not
from any fancy, thought, or feeling of
ours. but by reason of the evidence we have
heard and received. 1t is not that we feel
that the man is guilty, but we know it.
The knowledge we have received from the
evidence given is the ground of our sure
ness, and if we were on the jury we would
certainly bring in verdict of guilty.
Any person in this audience who will be
leve and receive the testimony and evil
denee given by God in the sacred scrip
lures must become assured of personal
salvation.
"Reverently," said Mr.. Marley, "let me
suggest that this goodly building is the
court house of the Eternal God The Lord
himself comes to give evidence. This is
His evidence. This is His testimony,
We that believe the son of God
hath everlasting life and shall not come
into the judgment, but is passed from
death unto life And again God speaks
we that believeth on him Ton Jesus
Christi is not condemned, he that believ-
eht not is condemned already because he
has not believed on the name of the only
begotten son of God.
The condemnation which rests upon
men and women now" said Mr. Marley
lis not because they are sinners but that
they are unbelievers. Not one of you in
this large company cam help or alter the
fact that you are sinner. You can alter
and YOU ought to alter the fact of being
an unbeever, if such you are! You must
lie down tonight a poor helpless sinner!
You need not lie down rejecting the evil
deHee and testimony of. the God of love
and grace. Why remain an unbelever?
Why make God liar? 1t is written He
that beleveth not hath made God a liar
because he has not believed the word that
God has given of his son. The reason for
mans condemnation and eternal perditon
now is not because he violates the law of
God, but because he rejects the grace and
mercy of God presented in the gospel.
This is the condemnation that light is
come into the world and men love darkness
rather than the light, because their deeds
are evil Again, 1 say, you cannot help
IL that tonight you lie down a sinner you
can help it that you lie down an unbe
lever Every true Christian in this house
IS a believer. As the Church of England
liturgy well expresses it Christ has open
ed the Kingdom of Heaven to all believ-
ers Hence the eternal and unchanging
word, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
and thou shah be saved 3"
judging from the attendance, interest
ana The talk, Mr.. Varley is arousing
H thought. People that take but little inter-
est in ordinary church services go to hear
the preacher. 1t is no longer cause for sur
