LOYALTY to Gods Word.

God hearetn us, he WHO Is iiol VI I'
heareth us not" This is the third test
given In this chapter and Is equally as
clear as the first two. The aposties
were the inspired authority OF the gos-
pei message in the early church, sent
| out by Christ himself. They not only
wrote the gospel OF Jesus Christ but
supervised the penning of 1t. Besides

the apostles which was Of course 10

listened to a teacher or a preacher VINO
was more loyal to the word of God
than Is Mr.. Sunday. l have never sat
under more helpful expositor or the
word Of God in this that he shows how
the Bible testifies of Christ as the Nv
ing Son Of God. No preacher ever IN
my experience as a listeper and close
observer, succeeded in SO great meas"
ure to exan the power of the gospel OF
Jesus above every other power known
among men His daily living Illus
trates this power. For this reason the
world hates him because this book to

Living the Love Life.
"TIe that loveth not knoweth not
God; for God is love- The remainder
of this chapter is given up to analysing
and Illustrating Christian love and sew
eral verses of the chapter which fol-
lows are burdened with the same
theme. God s, love is shown in that he
sent his Son into the world that we
might live thru him. Mr.. Sunday eX-
hibits this same love in that this one
motive in life is to use all of the pest
that he has for the life of the world.
You will soon be witnesses OF these
things. The quality of this love IS
shown In that God sent his Son into
the world to suffer ad die for Its SINS
and because of them, before the woflo
showed any love TO Him. The passion
of Mr.. Sundays heart goes out for tns
sinner and for this cause he SPENDS
and is spent You are forced to ask
yourself again and again. What more
can he do? Mr.. Sundays love for COD
and man is not a mere sentimentahtyt
but it Is practical love which does
every thing that it can to rid the woril
of sin, the worst enemy of man ana
God.
and in all that he does. because of this
dominant note of love for God and man
which is heard in all of his Testimony
against sin and his exaltation OF all
that is good. John says in this chap
ter, God is love; and he that abideth
in love abideth in God and God abideih
In him." My beloved nearer can you
be measured by these tests and in
large measure exhibit the fruits of
them? by their fruits shall We know
them" said Christ. Whatever may be
said by any critic against Rev. Will
liam A. Sunday, he bears the fruits OF
these apostolic tests for a man of God
in such an abundant measure, that he
Will be wise and also a thankful man
who will hear Mr.. Sunday, thru these
meetings without taking any of these
lying criticisms upon his lips. When
you see his work you will bless God
for him. Hundreds and thousands who
before the meetings could not stand
these tests will be so convinced from
the lips and the life of this man of
God, before the great campaign Is over,
that they will rejoice in the power of
the love of God.
This afternoon DR.. HORNED addressed
thes club women of the city at the pub
lie library auditorium. and tonight he
will speak at the evangelistic asso-
citation banquet at the Presbyterian
church.
