The meetings of the day were well at
tended by Interested audiences. Per
haps as large a crowd as has ever at
tended Yearly Meeting was on the
ground Sunday, and the order was

Notes From Sundays Meetings.
The three assurances of the final
triumph of righteousness are God the
Father, Christ the Savior of the world
and the Holy Spirit poured out at pen
tecost and on Christians since that
time. Repentance is the foundation
in Christian experience. Christ set
his seal TO the Old Testament scrip
lures. The Old Testament scriptures
are being fulfilled and are standing

have his story to tell, that of neglect
ing to heed the story of the cross. Love
is the only pow er of compul |.
sion in Gods work. Christianity is
very reasonable. .Infidelity is but a
great question mark. 1t can bur deny
the truth and ask questions. We are
to be ready as minute man to give
a reason for our hope. An Agnostic

Let God burn all sin out of your life
then let it alone. Only one thing bet
ter than the death of a saint, that is
to live sanity life. Sin separates
man from God, keeps heaven out of
man and man out of heaven. It is as
practical to lay up treasures in heav-
en- as to lay up money in the bank or
corn in the crib.
