scholar, preached his initial sermon
last night in Raleigh. He was heard

belief, intensified by the actuality of a
strongly characterized experience in
the ways and thought of the world

the need Christians have for a clearer
vision of the Almighty. The services
have called for a more thoughtful at
tention upon the better n higher,

seems working within the CHRISTIAN
people OF Raleigh, regardless of denom-
nation.
