The special services begun yesterday
| in the First Methodist Episcopal
church were of a very impressive and
helpful nature. Rev. Mr.. Bennett,
spoke in the morning from the text.
| The Lord hath Amounted me to preach
the gospel Heb. AIS.
He pointed out that there are three
dispensations clearly defined in the
Bible: 1.-The dispensation OF the law |;
2-The dispensation of the gospel; d
The dispensation of the Holy Spirit.
He impressed the truth that all thru
| the three and third years of Christ's
public ministry His fundamental eff
fort was to proclaim the good news"
| (gospeD that God was about to fulfil
His promise SO often foretold throug-
out the Old Testament-i.e. THAT He
would put His spirit with men and
empower or cause them to walk in His
ways"
After pointing out that this divine
improvement" is the great need and
hope Of the lost world today, showing
| by the use OF scriptural examples, the
Inherent weakness of men like Peter
and James and John, without it and
their complete transformation of char
acter through its bestowal ON the day
on Pentecost, he declared that this
must be the message of the church to
a sin cursed world
We must declare to them, he said,
both by our unselfish and holy lives,
andb by our clear cut testimony, not
only the love of God but also the pow
er of God, to save from all sin and to
empower for every service.
The people went from that service in
a very thoughtful mood and good con.
gregation returned for the evening
service at which time the pastor took
up the study OF Gods idea of salvation
as taught by Jesus"
He showed from the teaching OF Jes-
us and from the teaching of science
and from the testimony of st. Paul
that the first absolutely essential step
for salvation is the entire sanctifica-
ton of the human heart by the re-
generating power of the Holy Spirit.
Tonight is to be continuation OF
the gospel as taught by Jesus during
His earthly ministry-the special
theme being "Christ's teaching respect
ing the kingdom of God"
