MIR MEYER EXPLAINS HIS TEACHINGS.
The Rev. F. r. Meyer spoke this morning upon
'The Covenant" and In the afternoon explained TO
a company OF ministers and others on Round Top
the teachings which he represents, which have come
to be known as the Keswck Teachings. He said
that he did not like to have them called the kes-
wick Teachings for they old as the New
Testament There eight points in the scheme:
First-Assurance ~ faith In view OF this the
soul not merely believes I'm Christ. but is also as
sured OF It's acceptance by Him. Here we distin-
guish between what We are In Christ and what we
are I'm ourselves.
Second-Judging known sins This means that
the believer brings to bear the Word OF God upon
his conscience with view OF getting the soul TO
take sides against sins In this the will Is the chief
operant: I'm some the Will can only be willing
to be willing. II willing to be willing. God VIII
take the side OF the Will.
ThirdODedicatlon or conservation. Conservation
Is properly Gods side Of the and dedication our
side In this let he careful TO speak OF attitude
ard God | may promise "A friend my books. This
is one act hut ne may get one hook year as they
come from the press.
Fourth-Union with Christ His death and resur-
rection Here need TO emphasize death TO the
activities OF the self life Remember also that flesh
in our teaching the self life. BY the grace OF
God you to put the silence OF Christs grave
between ones new life and his old life.
