METHODIST REVIVAL

Rev. f. NJ. Richardson preached
to well filled church Friday night
from text taken from Exodus X,
rs. 90 And Pharoah said unto
him, get thee from me, take heed
TO myself, see my face no more; for
in that day thou seest my face thou
shalt die. And Moses said, thou
has spoken well, | will see thy face
again no more.
The story of Pharoah is one of
the tragedies of history. However,
we may interpret the words about
the hardening of his heart we must
admit that Pharoah was a free
agent and responsible, We can be
sure that man is free agent. be
cause freedom is fact of conscious
ness. Moreover our courts of JUS
tice proceed on the principle
of mans moral responsibility We
see outlined the battle between good
and evil in Rharoah's life and such
battle Is waged in every mans
soul. On the side of good are
Gods spirit which calls man, the
word of God which speaks to him.
and all Gods messengers In the
world who bring him the message
of salvation On the side of evil
are the love of the world. of money,
of pleasure. of sin. The climax OF
the tragedy of Pharoah was when
he dismissed Gods messenger Tor
the last time.
Pharoah is a type of the man who
sins during prosperity, repents when
adversely comes, but sins again
when adverse circumstances are re-
moved The plaques, too, may be
divided into typical groups Those
of flies, frogs, water changed to
blood, etc. stand for filth and deg
relation. Many a man will promise
to serve God II he is brought out
of the degradation that is the re-
suit of his sins, but when God has
mercifully restored him he sins
again
The plaques of murrain on beasts

yet" when health is restored.
The plaques OF hail and OF 10
Gust are types of impending calami-
ties. The threat of death from
accident or storm may brighten
many into a promise to serve God
IL He saves their lives. but the
promise is too frequently forgotten
when the person is safe.
The plague of darkness signifies
the final triumph of evil in Pha-
roah's soul as he dismissed Gods
messenger for the last time.
The speaker then plead with his
hearers not to dismiss Gods mes
senger. perhaps for the last time,
but to consider the necessity OF
making the decision between good
and evil. between God and satan
between Heaven and hell. between
hope and despair.
