Revival in the Christian Church

Revival in the Christian Church.
The meetings in the Christian church
continue with unabated interest, and will
continue for some days yet a number
of people have joined the church. Rev.
d. D. Boyle is eloquent talk.r, and
on Monday night he delivered a genuine
Christian sermon Mr. Boyle said that
the prophesy of Christ was found in the
old testament books. This history fore
shadowcd the coming of Jesus. There
was ne salvation until the death and re-
surreetion of Christ. After this Gospel
good news-was proclaimed by the II
apostles and 20 disciples. Then the
conception of the spiritual Kingdom
made known. A material kingdom was
formerly known. Previous to Christ the
people knew nothing of the doctrine of
repentance
MIR Boyle said testify for
Jesus. You can testify only how you
feel Christian. Paul and the other
apostles only were given the power to
testify for Christ There is a misunder-
standing of this power of Jesus in the
christian world. When You talk about
the gift OF the Holy Ghost you must
know it comes from God. Jesus Christ
said he would give it to those who would
tarry in Jerusalem. The plan of saliva

Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mr.. Boyle does not believe in emotion
| al religion. He said you might cry your
eyes out but you will never know of sal
Yation through h tears. He didn't believe
ia crying. Take the book and read. No
mesmeric influence by weeping preach
ers lead to salvation. You will know
| when you have salvation without awak-
| ening the emotions.
About the ssarunken'' disciples You
know how little provocation people talk
about preachers.
Only the men in the ssupper room''
were baptised with the Holy Spirit. 1t
was rot the multitude. They were filed
| with blasphemy.
| He said we all believe in the Holy
| Spirit; but the multitude only receive by
s'hearing.' sRepent ye, and be baptis-
| ed every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ unto the remission of your sins !;
and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy
| Ghost. For to you is the promise, and
/ to your children, and to all that are afar
/ off. even as many tho Lord our God
| shall call unto him.
He said the Holy Spirit was only a
prom se- Repentance was a command :
ment and so is baptism. When we re
| pent and are beptised it is in the name of
Jesus Christ
| Mr.. Boyle in conclusion invited people
| forward. He said if you believe in Jesus
Christ with your emotions, your sympa-
| thies. your heart, come forward. So af-
ter all, even according to Mr.. Boyle's tes-
timony, and from what the Bible teaches
US, we must love God with all our
heart; and what is the heart but the seat
LOT the emotions; and how can we reach
| Christ unless we give him eur heart; and
| if he has our heart we have his spirit.
| There was some excellent singing
| which stirred the emotions of the mos
profound Christian.
