Rev. A. Coke Smith, D. D., of Norfolk,
addressed the Conference on THE I>wen-
tieth Century Thauk-offerns- Dr. Smith
said that the Christian should occupy
receptive and aggressive position, having
a happy blending of the two in his make
up. AS God blesses us, so We are 10 be
L blessing 10 others we are the servants
of God: His helpers; SO let U.S. therefore,
seek to do something for Him: freely We
have received, freely give. Christ has
commanded that we occupy TIL lie come;
He would have us use the talents he
gives us. Let us not come into the Church
TO enjoy religion: II We work our religion,
the Joy will follow. Let each one consider
what God has done for HMM temporal
things and in spiritual blessings: all our
blessings have come TO us through Christ,
the Son of God; what then ought we not
TO be willing to do for Him? Some people
do not like new things and plans of Chris
tan effort While we need the same
power-1he power Of the Holy Ghost-We
need TO use the latest plan of work 10 be
successful; We need the best implements
OF war as we go to battle with evil Or.
Smitl closed with an earnest appeal LOT
the young 10 yield themselves to Coo 1of
His service saying that if wholly yielded,
We will give OF our means 10 prosecute
the work OF the Church.
