The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-07-30

tendance The speaker OF the afternoon
was Rev. Joseph L. Peacock. formerly OF
this city, but at present located at Wes-
terly.
The speaker took up the subject OF SIN
He said that there are many sins that
we consider small but that are. never
theess. sins I'm the sight OF God, Pride
dependency, doubt. impurity and idie-
ness are all sins, but yet we all have our
share In them Christ wishes TO save us
from these sins and TO save us from our
selves. We all realize that we need some
one or some power TO keep US from SIN,
and Jesus Christ is the one we need. From
our childhood up we have steady battle
to keep from falling downward, and we
constantly feel the presence OF some help
ing hand.
Mr. Peacock spoke OF mans position In
life and its relation 10 his spiritual well
fare. He said that II Is not our exalted
position that should make US more noble
and godly but that II Is our hearts. The
men who have the highest positions IN
this world are not always famed for their
high moral and spiritual tendencies, but
u the contrary. 1t is the men who are
the most prominent who show signs OF
corruption. Exalted position in life is not
necessarily the means OF salvation.
From this the speaker transferred his
attention TO the question OF who can
be saved. Christ said that He would
save all those who should come unto Him.
The speaker said that men are now leav-
ing their old way OF thinking and con
forming 10 the commandments or Goa.
More and more converts are being en-
listed In the Christian faith, and men
who are supposedly Christians are really
becoming followers OF our Lord. This
change is not only noticeable among peo-
pie who have had no education. The call
OF Christ is felt by the rich and poor.
by the young and old alike. The power
OF Christ is exactly as II was during Ills
life. and IL we turn towards Him we can
be saved.
The speaker closed his remarks with
a short prayer and the meeting ended
with singing by the congregation.
