a very considerable sum was realized
from this source. The amounts report
ed ranged from seventy cents to ten

OF interest and are growing better each
day.
Rev. c. B. Graham, pastor OF the
North Street church. preached yester-
day morning from the text found in
Rev. Al, Come Up Hither"
His theme was Christian Invita-
ton" and he said that Christ speaks
to man because man Is qualified to
hear by mental impressions and spir-
itual perceptions. That God has pre-
pared man to receive instructions.
There are a variety of qualifications as
men differ by laws of heredity and
other causes. The character of chill
dren is formed before they are born.
Training and early surroundings also
influence the character and make a diff
ference in the power to hear their in
vtation. He also spoke of the COM
munion man has with his Maker
through laws of nature He said that
men receive special revelations under
the influence of the Holy Spirit He
referred to the American Bible Society
and its influence through the many mil
lion bibles it has distributed. He said
that the great discoveries and inven-
lions were revelations from God TO
man as a further means of His speak
ing to man.
Last evening DR.. Yocum preached
from the text, For She Said Within
Herself, If | But Touch His Garment,
/ Shall be Whole f" Matt. 9-21
His theme was Mans Approach to
Jesus"
We have here view Of the inner life.
This woman told no one, but said with
in herself, IF | but touch his gar
proach to Jesus is typical and is not
simply a bit of ancient history but is
living, up-to-date truth. All who hear
me belong to one or the other of two
classes, those who have come to Jesus
and those who intend to come. To
both this typical approach is replete
with meaning.
The qualifications of this approach
to which attention is invited are:
Firstly, this woman came to Jesus VITA
absolute despair of any help from any
other source; secondly, she discovered
in Jesus precisely the savior she need
ed; thirdly, she felt the necessity OF
contact, touch with the Savio1 fourth
ly, notwithstanding the ignorance and
misconception in her-ald respecting
the method of His cure, Jesus received
her; filthy, Immediately upon her APP
proach she felt a change. deliverance
from disease and inflowing tides OF
health; sixthly, her approach, like the
approach of other human souls to Jesus
was made through the throng.
