ELOQUENT SERMON
ON WORK WITH COD
Large Congregation Attends
Opening Evangelistic
Service.

The evancelistic services that arc to
last three weeks began in the Central
Christian church at Third East and
Fourth South streets At II o'clock Ne3-
terdav forenoon. The service was opened
hy an eloquent sermon by the Rev. Dr..
II. o. Brccdcn. who drew his text from
PauIs first cpstlc TO the Corinthians,
Work together with Cod was the trend
of his discourse.
The church was crowded TO It's utmost
capacity. which Is considered all unus-
ually good beginning aud the speaker
carried his audience with him through the
long but interesting sermon. He told OF
the party spirit i'm the Corinthl an church
and OF the confusion That il caused.
IL was then when they had four parties
together that Paul wrote 10 them this
letter. urging them 10 remember that
they we're all laborers together with
God.
Work is tho ono great secret OF sue
cess. The speaker showed this and that
work had been necessary In si cases 10

prayer that angel. archanecl or man can
