! As A MIGHTY MN
WITHOUT POWER.
SUNDAY GIVES REASON WHY
CHRISTIANS FALL DOWN
FOR GOD.
TELLS WHAT is WRONG;
HOW TO GET RIGHT
Get Right With God, Stay Right With
him-Get Right With Man and Get
Right With Your Family Are Some
of the Cures for Spiritual Weakness,
as Given by Sunday.

Why the Individual, or the commun-
the blessings of God are kept away
from the individual and the commune
ty, was the theme for Rev. Mr.. sun
days Thursday afternoon sermon to
an audience of 500. Despite the counter
attraction of the circus and the rain
which fell shortly before the meeting
began, the audience was of average
size.
Mr. Sundays text was jeremiah
/ 1879. "why shoudest thou be as man
astoned as mighty man that can not
/ save? Yet thou, Lord. art in the
midst of use, and we are called by thy
name; leave us not His sermon was
in part as follows:
"why is it that there is an increase
of worldiness and a decrease of chris
tianity in the lives of so many chris
tians and people of the church? 1t is
because your sins have separated YOU
from God The trouble is not with God
but with the followers of God.
God is Onchan9eabte.
CAN things change but God never
changes. The word of God holds good
thru all time. People viii change but
the word of God remains unchange-
able and it will not be changed TO suit
the wills of the people. You have got
ITO conform your lives to the will of
God. What God has done God can do
again. He never changes.
t'What are the evidences that God is
here? I know he is by his word, for
he says, wherever Two or three are
gathered together in his name he will
be present. Then the union of these
churches which are back of these
meetings is another evidence. Why, you
people can remember the time when it
would have been impossible to have
got the churches of all these denom-
nations together in a revival. Let me
tell you the more finely drawn the de-
nominational lines the less religion the
gang has which draws them. | do not
believe in church unity, but l do be-
lieve in christian unity.
This union of the churches behind
this revival indicates that the churches
do not care what denomination gets
the largest increase, they are simply
working and praying that men ant
women may be brought to God.
What Is Wrong?
"Why is that your are as might
man who is without power? God doe
not insist that you be rich. bur he doe
insist that you must be clean to do nj
work You have to get right Wit
God all the way thru before YOU Wi

this sort of calculating religion. Whe
you get run down spiritually go
Cod and get your faith and power re
newed and revived. Get something

the doctor TO get your physical bein
toned up when you become run dow
physically.
Take Little. Give Also.
apply the principle of respratio
and exhalation to your spiritual lif
Keep adding to it, and keep givin
from your supply TO others, that is II
way to keep powerful. What brea

to your spiritual being.
Here is a receipt for spiritu
strength. Cody growth and develop

each day, pray the same length
time each day. and talk to somebo(
about religion for fifteen minutes eat

Get Right With Each Other
Get right with each other. That
a thing that stands right across t
path of many a man who might cor
to God. Get right in your home. TIL
may be the reason why your husba-
or your children are not coming
