addressed the convention. Carrying
son the thought for the evening,
Whatsoever he saith unto you do it,
he drew the attention of the audi
ence to a type Of purposeful man as
told in Genisis xiv: 30. Abraham, he
said was named Abram by his mother,
meaning Exalted Father. The Cana
antics nicknamed him Hebrew, which
means Come Across. A nickname is
sometimes given unfeelingly, but it is
always correct We forget the real
name, but never the nickname.
Look at Abram as he doffs the
mothers name. He won the ijame
Hebrew first by his dress. I'll the
East dress is symbolic; it has a Ian
guage of its own. For Abram to drop
the robe meant to drop the Jehovah
faith. How are you dressed? In the
name of God ? Draw around your
filthy soul Christ's imputed robe Of
righteousness. For his part, he said,
he was going to live in it, die in it, lie
in till the stars begin to fall Is that
your purpose
Abram was known as a Hebrew by
his tongue. He said ne was known as
a Scotchman by the way he rolled his
rs" Accent begins at the cradle.
Have you got the accent Of the Gross
OF Christ?
He was known as Hebrew by his
food. Food has geography as literal
Of speech. Porridge and the Shorter
Catechism used to tell the Scotchman.
Abram ate no CHASTITY hash Of Cana
anitish orgies, but the good Kosher
beef. Our food is the Bible.
Abram was known as a Hebrew by
his homesickness. So with us should
be homesickness for the other land.
After tile address President Sproull
spoke a few closing words and the con-
yention was closed by a Conservation
meeting, the counties responding as
the names were called.
During the afternoon session of the
convention on Thursday, white horse
