Lewis taking from the lesson: Jesus
spoke unto them, saying, All power Ia
given unto me on earth,'" preached a
missionary sermon.
Power here, he said, means the same
as authority. The miracles performed
by the Savior were cited in detail as au-
thority and power, The authority to
command Is given in the words, 60 ye
unto all Nations and preach the gospel"
1t Is both an invitation and command.

tie to the firing line with a message for
tho General. Shells were bursting thick,
and many were slain by the dying but
lets. The message was delivered-the boy
was torn by the fragment OF shell. and
as the father pressed his dying son to
his breast said, L have sacrificed you,
but I had to send 1t by some one who
would not fail Jesus wishes to send

Gospel of Jesus.
What Is the gospel of Jesus1 II
means good news and deliverance from
Sin. Sin takes us away from the pres
once of God. If We are faithful to our
commission, we are preaching the gospel
of deliveranoe. There came time in
the history Of England when the people
no longer believed In hell.
Then the preaching of such men as
John Wesley came and men and women
cried out. What shall We do to be saved7'
There is an Indifference to spirituality In
this country. Good people from the East
backslide through this atmosphere Of in
difference. Reprove Israel as Christ did.
Let US gather faith in our strength"
