SINNERS TOLD HOW TO Be SAVED
Sermon Of Rev. Truett Is Based on
the Healing oI the Nobleman
Son by the Savior.

The attendance at the Baptist
meeting continues good through the
cold weather. The service Wednes-
day morning was most gracious and
the way of salvatioh- was made so
plain Wednesday night that even a
child could understand it. There
will be a service for the school chill
dren this afternoon at O'Clock. the
Sunday school teachers and parents
were requested to do all they could
to have the children present. How
TO be Saved" was the theme or Rev
Truett's sermon Wednesday night.
He said in part, as follows:
Would you like to know how to
be saved? How do we come to Jesus?
What's involved in coming to Je-
sus?" Rev. Truett then read pas
sage Of scripture that formed the
foundation of what he said. The
scripture was the account of the
healing of the nobleman's son.
This passage furnishes the SIM
plest illustration to be found about
how to come to Jesus and get his
blessing In this passage we have an
example of several degrees of faith
in the case of this nobleman. Let's
look ar the setting for this faith.
Here is noblemau in trouble how
common is trouble There is a Span
ish proverb that says There is no
home that does not have its hush
Here is a nobleman, man of in
fluence and position, but he has his
trouble-happy is he man when
trouble leads him to God instead of
away from Him and it will do one OF
these two things. This mans trouble
was his child--it is often so--how
our very lives are tied up in these
children of ours This son was the
occasion of this man coming to Je-
sus to ask mercy. How often it is
true. The sheperd who would get his
sheep over yonder stream fails some
times but when he picks up the lit
tie lamb and goes over the whole
flock will follow. The mother Will
not be parted from the lamb. So of
ten the best way TO get some one to
Jesus is to call the child. Fun many
time a child is the occasion OF
parent coming to Jesus. In this scrip
ture we have a parents cry for his
child. This nobleman had heard OF
the marvellous worker. Jesus, for his
fame had gone throughout the land
