Great sermon by Evangelist Yule.
| The most impressive yet delivered; in
sn,ring song service by the great
chorus in charge of Mr.. Ed. LAUDER
sheimer who leads with ease and
grace. Mrs. Geo. Yule rendered an
other solo which pleased the audience,
| entitled, "Just For Today" Mrs. Hen
~ schouten sang solo entitled my
| Mothers Prayer" Mrs. Schouten is
one of the most popular singers In the
| city and she never sang with better
effect than last evening. Many eyes
we're filled with tears when she had
finished the beautiful song.
The Evangelist took for his text
Heb. / IA. The theme-"The Voice of
God or Man Kept from God by His
Own Choice" The ignorance of the
book of books is the sauce of much luke
warm christianity of today. The cap
tain of the vessel needs the chart and
the compass to guide his vessel over
| the trackless ocean. So man needs a
chart and compass to guide him over
Iifo's dark sea- The Bible is that chart
and compass and when used rightly
guides into the haven of rest. God
/ gives us the Bible as lamp unto our
! feet and a light unto our pathway God
| II
spoke to Abraham and he oJeyed, God
blessed him. He spoke to Moses, he
| told God he was stammerer. he lost
| the opportunity to speak for God.
| Aaron was given the place and the
honor He spoke to isaiah and isaiah
/ said here am l. send me. He sent
| him his prophesies tell the story of
his commission. With telling effect
the speaker referred to the morning of
Gods revelation when God spoke to
tsa Prophets and at monday when
God spoke to men through Jesus
Christ. His Son; and the evening when
God spoke to men through His Amos
ties, and today He speaks to us through
their matchless epistles. These had a
message from God to men. What
made England? The Bible. What mode
/ Scotland9 The Bible. What made
| American? The Bible. Then the
| speaker run over the worthless from the
days OF John the Baptist to the pres
ent Showing what these great men
did for truth and righteousness and
Tor the advancement of civilization.
God is still speaking to us that we may
speak to others as Jesus did to the
woman at Jacobs well and to the wo-
man in Simon's house and to the wo-
demus under the tower OF night. The
Bible is the best book in all the world
out the people fail to read 1t. To
Know the book is to know the mind of
God To know the book is to be in
troduced to Jesus Christ who came to
save TO know the book is to know the
way of life To accept 1t and the
Christ OF whom 1t speaks gives us
nome, hiding place for ever. The
speaker closed with the thought OF
the Lord, stirring up our hearts as the
eagle stirreth up her nest; he pleaded
WIN the people to open their hearts
LOT the Word Of the Lord and for the
hoiy Spirit that they may be mes
sengers OF God; personal workers. on.
portunlties are great but the chance
81 saving soul may be lost. Listen
y .ne voice. Obey the voice and glory
VIII come unto your hearts.
