march out to battle, praising God in
this inspiring war cry, Believe in the
Lord your God, so shall We be estab-
lished; believe in his prophets, so shall
We prosper"
With those words for the war cry,
they marched to victory which in some
respects stands unparalleled in the an
nails of war. Never was victory cele-
brated more promptly or more glori-
ously, and they were three days In
gathering OF the spoil and they spent
another day upon the field Of battle,
praising God, and then with the king
at the head marched back, praising
God all the way.
Defeat Traoeable TO UnbsIlef.
The text ia the keynots Of victory in
ali our work, or battling for God and
his cause. 1 think it can be easily and
readily said that usually our defeat as
children of God can be traced back to
our unbelief. Men will lose heart and
get discouraged because they lose faith
According to your faith, be it unto
YOU" said Jesus to his disciples. No
grace is so essential to salvation and
success as faith and no prayer is more
appropriate than the prayer the apos-
tie offered. Lord, increase our faith
Now this has not always been as well
understood as 1t should. 1t is sighifi-
cant that the writer's of the Bible al
ways put faith first as essential to sal
walton and success and when they
couple with il hope or love they give
faith first place from the beginning of
the new life and clear through.
Lack Of Faith,
Why is it that so many Christian
peopla 20 around with fhe corners OF
their mouths drawn down and looking
like tombstones, that 50 many Chris
tian homes present 10 the boys and
girls a theology that is certainly of the
cemetery kind? 1t is a sheer lack OF
faith. The Christian who rises to the
height Of his privilege and opportunity
has that peace that passeth under
standing, a perfect peace that is given
only to those whose might is stayed

Rev. c. G. Luther the First BAPTIST Church for Two
Weeks-Preached Two Sermons Sunday Before
Large Audiences

AT the First Baptist church Sunday
morning the evangelist, Rev. G. c.
Luther, was cordially welcomed by the
pastor, Rev. William 7. Thayer. Mr..
Luther conducted a series of meetings
at the church fourteen years ago and
much enthusiasm was felt over his
coming again. Taking his text from
II Chronicles. 20: 20, Believe in the
Lord your God, so shall We be estab-
lished; believe his prophets. so shall
We prosper" he preached a strong SER
mon.
Mr.. Luther said: The text is part of
the story Of Jehoshaphats reign, when
there came up against him host Of the
enemy and against which he was
afraid and then he fell back upon God
and was told what to do by God. He
was simply to go out and meet them,

the. skilled archers, in front of them, to
