At 1880, Rev S. Rice preached
from lsa 40, l-2. He spoke of the
duty of comforting Gods people rath-
or than scoldng them; and of feeding
them rather than whipping them. He
said:
"Some people take such dark and
gloomy view of religion, that they
are more like a dark cloud than
light. Gods people should be hope
ful and cheerful and not yield to dis
couragement. Not because there are
not discouraging things. nor because
it is not hard fight, for the enemy
Is strong and willy roe. It is the
part OF good general to properly
appreciate the force and strength Of
the enemy; but, he must not be dis
couraged. If he become discouraged
he il already defeated. In this bat
| tie there are no grounds for dis
discouragements. Our Savior Il
stronger than the devil and able to
give the victory in every battle. He
will cause us to triumph In every
place, and, He has made no provision
for defeat or retreat. come TO com
fort you with this thought of com
plete and continued victory. Tlse
prophet Isaiah said, Gle shall not
fail nor be discouraged till he has
set judgment in the earth. "
"The gospel of Jesus Christ must

kind that brings holiness into disre-
pute, cause people to leave the
church ETC., but the kind that "suf-
fereth long, and is kind" This type
OF holiness must prevail. nothing can
defeat Il. II pays In this life as the
Savior said, an hundred fold and,
in the world to come life eyerlast-
ing"
The preacher dwelt at some length
on the case of the young ruler who
came to the Savior enqulring what he
should do TO be saved, and when
told went away sorrowful, thus dis
couragins the disciples who said what
shall We have, for We have left all
and followed Thee. Then Jesus told
them, "There is no man that hath
left house, or parents or brethren,
or wife, or children for the kingdom
of Gods sake who shall not receive
manifold more in this present time,
and In the world to come life ever
lasting"
At 2:30 Rev. Durham preached
from Rom. GIL. lie said that there
Is no hope of salvation from sin ex-
cept through Jesus Christ Many
people claim salvation, but they have
not got 1t straight because they are
depending upon their works. There Is
no hope except through the atone
ment. Death Is a strong term TO ap-
wrote the Bible bs"ause. II he had
he would not have associated death
with sin. We must be dead to sin
and alive TO God. Dead to the sin

self You don't have TO die daily.
You can die once and put on the
"new man" and keep him on through
the power OF the blood OF Jesus
Christ.
AT 1880 Rev. Dunham again
preached a powerful sermon from
John z, 1919. He said;
"This is the prayer of the Lord
Jesus, and II has never run out, but
counts just as much tonight as II ey-
er did, Therefore you have the
same right that Mary, John or Peter
had.
