tended and Proved = Most
Interesting Meeting to
All There.

All There.
This will be the subject of Evan
gelist G. E. Hills and you ought not
to miss hearing it as it is considered
to be one OF the strongest sermons
in all Rev. Hills, repertory. The
great scene will be depicted with all
OF DR.. Hills powers of imagination.
Don't miss it.
Last night the evangelist had as his
theme The Heavenly Visitor" and his
text was Revelation 1920 Behold l
Stand at the door and Knock, if any
man will hear my voice and open the
door l will come in" 1t was with
tenderness pathos and power He
said, these are the words of Jesus
Christ Himself spoken unto John the
divine on the isle of Patmos.
We ought tonight to pay especial
attention to them because they are
Jesus own words. This door at which
! the Savior knocks is the heart of man.
when He wins the heart He wins the
whole man. Is your heart closed
against Jesus Christ your best friend?
| Open 1t tonight and let Him in. will
you?
He then divided his sermon into
six parts which were as follows, He
Is Sanding. We see Him waiting. He Is
| Knocking, He stands Pleading, He
says I will Come in, What He Brings?
Under the heading Of Jesus Stand
ing, he described a very elaborated
painting of Holman Hunts, which he
saw in the art institute in Chicago dur
ing the worlds fair there in 1893. The
picture was called Jesus at The
4 Door, and as DR.. Hills described it
the whole audience saw it as he did.
DR.. Hills has great power as word
painter He is a master in the art OF
j getting you to see something exactly
as he sees it.
His second division was Jesus Wait.
ing, and said he, with some OF you is
it true you have kept Jesus waiting
outside of your heart and life for q
