WAR is contrary to the very teach

ID Biblical. (2) Historical co Sci

(. at takes greater courage to stay at
home and advocate good will and
peace than to go to the battles front.
Some people advocate that war is
Gods method of purifying the coun-

Friday Evening.
S. Adelbert Wood, of Adrian, Mich.
igan, preached from Romans SO:
'The flesh and the spirit are. contrary
one to the other. My prayer is that
by the light of Gods truth and His
spirit we may know just where we
are. If we can't tell where we are
we are apt to be lost. Let us know
whether we are after the flesh or the
spirit. Which are we minding to
night? Each one of us is living after
the flesh or after the spirit. There
are two kingly powers that are seek
ing to reign in our bodies. We are
beseecheu by the mercies of God to
present ourselves a living sacrifice
The plan of salvation takes in the
whole man. How the Spirit of God
manifests Himself in the bodies in
which He dwells! When sin reigns
in our mortal bodies, it makes them
bodies of sin. 1t is Gods purpose to
save us from sin, and to do this He
condemns sin in the flesh. 1t is pos.
sible for a man to live. after the flesh
in very highly respectable manner.
There is such thing as seeking to
make fair show in the flesh. we
may get on our knees and agonize and
groan and only be minding the flesh.
Every man that starts out to live a
Christian life wants to live a holy life.
Any idea of holiness that brings us to
that place of ease and indifference is
dangerous"
