THE HISTORICAL CHRIST.
Subject of the Sermon at the bap-
tist Church Monday Night.


Last night Rev Nevins preached
TO an audieace at the Baptist church
on the subject of "The Resurrec-
ton" or the somewhat broader sub
iect. "The Historical Christ" Text,
9Th verse of 2Sth chapter of Mat
thew. "He is not here: for he is ris-
en-. as he said: come see the place
where the Lord lay" Following is
the sermon in part;

and the conception and prove the

Christ's sayings. Let us look at the
things he did. Let us look at the res

is no controversy as to whether such
man as Christ lived. This can be
proved like any other historical fact-
Let us look at what Christ salo. he

Some people have asked about the
immaculate conception of Christ.
Can you prove it?' They ask, No,
/ can't prove that but / can prove
the resurrection
IF the resurrection be true the
immaculate conception is true, then
the miracles are true and all the
things Christ said are true. am

ton, on the empty tomb, where the
women went and found Il empty.

mean by this just as you would pick
up a book and read a candid unbias-
ed statement, so it is here when we
approach the book God has given us
of the record of these things. Every
thing is written Just as 1t happened.
Suppose this book had been written
by impositors Would they have told
about Peters denial? about Christ s
rebuke o. the disciples for not hav-
ing faith in Him? An fmposter
would have covered and concealed
these things. The word of God re-
veals the facts. One of the saddest
things In the bible is the fact that
when Christ was taken, his disciples
all left him.
'If Christ, the son of God was
upon the earth 1900 years ago and
was raised from the dead according
to the scriptures, what is your rela-
ton to Him tonight? You cannot af-
ford to drift along carelessly con-
cerning this matter, because God
says there is no other way for you
to be saved but to take this Christ. -
In this service, Mr.. Smith, who did
such efficient service in the Walton
meeting, led the singing. Mr.. Smith
will be here till Wednesday when
Mr.. Jolly will come to assist in the
singing. Everyone in town is invit-
ted to attend all the services.
