Evangelistic Meetings Are Being Attend

The auditorium OF Hedding NJ E
church was filled with people last night
and d more attentive crowd never gath

the songs OF the Kings business. Rev,
j. D. Mackenzie offered prayer and Dr.
Toy, before reading the Scripture lesson
told what success Is following the Chap

with them In even greater power than

The scripture lesson read was that
wonderful faith chapter" OF the Bible,
Hebrews IL, Faith is the assurance OF
things hoped for, the proving Of things
not seem etc Mr.. Dickson sang the
solo, Time Enough Yet" and it had a
deep effect on all hearts
DR.. Toy took as his text Hebrews
lli24.26, "By faith Moses, when he was
grown up, refused TO be called the son
of Pharaoh's daughters choosing rather
TO % evil entreated with the people of
God, than 10 enjoy the pleasures OF sin
for season; accounting the reproach
OF Christ greater riches than the treas.
ures Of Egypt; for he looked unto the
recompense OF reward" There, were
three distinct periods in the life OF
Moses. Forty years in the palace Of
Pharaoh; forty years in the wilderness
Of Sinai; and forty years as leader oil
the children OF Israel.
The text tells us OF Moses decision
There comes a time In the life OF every
man and every woman when they must
make the decision either for or against
Jesus Christ. do not care where the
question Of our decision is settled, very
few are converted as they expect to be.
Aaron Burr settled the question in his
own room; convinced that he ought 10

come a lawyer and enter politics, turned
his back on God and ii history is true,
there is no life more blackened by sin
and the devil than the life OF Aaron

The first thing Moses refused was po,

action Of your life is when you gather
your old sinful associates about you and
acknowledge to them that you have ac.
cepted Jesus Christ as your personal
Saviour and invite them TO leave the old
ways and follow Him, too. The second
thing Moses gave up was 'the pleasures
Of sin. He turned his back on all the
pleasures Of the world and took In place
Of these persecution. Do you tell me
that | have to give up the pleasures Of
the world? Yes, the pleasures Of sin.
BY the grave of God, IA rather give up
the pleasure of sin, than the eternity
With God. Tho ifs Of sin begins in
pleasure, but il ends in sorrow. God

and yet Moses chose to take his place
among them. Moses did not look at
the things that are seen. but at the
things that are not seen" Suppose it
was possible for you to gain the whole
world and lose your own soul, what
would it profit youi Every man and
