The result of the five weeks of lHt CdI1D SiiOWc lttC pCNti CA Jigion, also what you can do and are doing here The final service. he said, would be tonight at [ o'clock at the Central Baptist church, to close ats 10 to allow the evangelists to leave on the boat train for Ashland, Wis.
 He took as his text Numbers 10: xxix-xxxii, We are journeying unto the p.ace of which the Lord said, I will give it you. The central thought is rI r,1a bo ind indeterminate thoughts in religious work. but here we are journeying to a place, place of reality not ansisle nf somewhere. It IS a rest. repose complete and satisfying such as is-only iis me kingdom of God It is a place 0f righteousness and radiance without uiaht and there the reward will be re- ceived. It is a land of real joy and a residence with a firm foundation, a place of eternal joy and blessing.
 T believe that all the things that have come in these five weeks have eome because God willed it. said Mir. Cunningham. These trips are made individually but we all get the call and must respond to God Progress towards the kingdom of God must be made by self sacrifice. Many have often refused to give up small things because they didn't have the grace. but
  very sweet and inviting about that bid- ding, especially the wording Come thou with US" It is an invitation worth while and we need the invitation which means there is room enough for every one. No one need be in the darkness against the persistent and insistent call of God. There are no restrictions ,ex- cept the admission of Jesus Christ as Savior. The attitude of Christian to a non Christian should be, we will do You good. You often hear of many men of whom about all the church should not be. The spirit of Jesus Christ was always altruistic and that of the sympathizer and follower should be the same
 If you yield to the invitation of God The most honorable thing in the world is to belong to the great family of God Norwich wouldn't amount to much if all the churches. their influence. and what they stand for were removed. The church is the most important and val uabie thing in the city. yet some peo- pie don't appreciate it. We are jour neying and going to. the place God promised. What more can He say to you than He hath said? If you don't hear the call of God it is because of sin. and this you should put out of the way
 There were many who raised their hands for prayers and a number rose indicating that they desire to lead a Christian life. The service closed with benediction by Dr. West.
