Rev ]. C. Stevens of Bridgeport
preached a powerful sermon on The
Divinity of Christ, showing that He
had the right and power 10 forgive
sins and to be the Mediator between
God and man and proving from scrip
ture that Christ was God inearnate.
At 9 O'Clock Saturday session Of
the Sabbath school was held The les
son studied was The Gospel Rejected
by the Jews at Pisida. The II O'Clock
service was an inspiring one, the adj
dress by Rev. G. IT. Edwards being
from the text in Hosea 2. 10, And l
will give her the valley of Achor for
door of hope. A practical application
of the experiences of the children Of
Israel to our present time was made,
showing that the Lord couldn't work
with sin among the people. This was
illustrated by Achan when he hid the
wedge of gold under his tent and
thought that he could keep 1t, but the
Lord found him out. IL our sins are
not found out now, they will be in the
judgment: 1t is better to confess yo1r
sin than to have it brought to light
at the Judgment day.
At the close there was / special cali
for conservation and reconsecration; %
went forward. Prof and Mrs. Dexter
sang the duet The Name OF Jesus is
SO Sweet.
The New Birth.
m Saturday Elder Notffefor
gave a sermon upon The New Birth,
taking for his text Except a man be
born again he cannot see the Kingdom
of God. He exhorted his hearers to
leave a life of sin and to accept the
genuine Christian life. He showed
what it meant to lead Christian life
and compared the life of sin to a dead
body to which the Romans used to be
bound. Paul says Who shall deliver
me from this body of sin Christ is
the delfverer. After His deliveran e.
there is no more condemnation.
