AT 1920 Rev. Read, OF Sheffield.
preached a spiritual sermon found in

He said: We are creatures of law.
The law of sin is found in the human
heart 1t is sometimes called old
man. body of sin etc. The law of
sin not only pollutes but destroys
Our natures are in slavery
He spoke of the law of the covenant
and the ceremonial law. Jesus Christ
came and. stepped into the arena OF
law. He is stronger than the. tag
Then we have the law OF the spirit
of Christ." The bible is the law OF
the CHRISTIAN. The plan of salvation
lis by kchrist through his birth and
death. Grace frees from the law. He
closed by repeating the hymn John
Wesley, "Oh for a Thousand Tongues
to Sing"
The sermon was followed by an al
tar service. led by Rev. H. Brink, of

Rev. J. A. Afford, of TiskilWa-IoOL-
for his text in the evening, And | say
unto you many shall come from the
east and west, and shall sit down with
Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the
kingdom of heaven"
In order TO get into the kingdom
of heaven we must have the character
istics of our Lord Jesus Christ. We
must have the character of the cen
turion. Abraham had faith-had more
than simple belief. The apostle says
faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not SEEN
Faith and obedience are one and in
Faith makes one give up
our ways for Gods ways-give up the
robes of self-righteousnesS for right
eousness. Submission is a perfect
type and comes into our lives to make
more character"

eign field must have preparation-they
