| the real. 1t is not what we are but
what we might become that makes
God love us in spite of all that has
spoiled our character and distorted our
souls. Like the great sewers under the
streets of Paris, there is this UNDER
ground and secret life of every one o.
u.s. the inner conscience poisoned and
slimed by sin. God sees 1t, yet his
marvellous heart believes in us, and be-
lieves in us so much that he dared to
make the trial of Calvary that we
might be saved. 1t took the mind and
heart of God to discover in the poor,
blackened. distorted and begrimed
lives of men the possibilities of their
transformation and TRANSPORTATION into
the very image of Jesus Christ him
self. The wonder is that he could see
so much of possibility in us whom sin
has so deformed and defaced.
Made in his image and created in
his likeness, there is no child, however
small, that has not been glorified by
his creator infinitely beyond any other
of his creations, for he has given to
man mind and heart ana will
with which we might render unto him
some return for all that he has given
for us. 1t seems that Gods heart must
break over those hearts that have TAX
en- their prodigal way away from him,
loving the things of sin instead of him.
As the natural eye cannot look direct
ly into the ineffable glory of the sun
so the world needed a Christ as a me-
dunn to come between God and us,
of the human. So tonight we see
God through Christ. He that hath
seen me hath seen the father.
/ There's better than the intellectual
demonstration of Jesus Christ and
that's the heart realization. Jesus
Christ died on Calvary that he might
take away that which kept the heart OF
God from his children, and that green
hill far away was the place where God
proved that he too believed in men, and
as long as that cross stands on CAL
vary / shall not despair for the worst
man. II God so believed and loved
then the sin of sins is to turn away
from love like that. And when you
turn away you cut yourself loose from
all that God has to offer you. But God
hasn't given you up yet. Will you take
him tonight?
When the invitation was given for a
show of hands to indicate a purpose Ia
live Christian life there were a num-
Der of responses and there was an
after meeting which lasted until near
ly 10 o'clock.
