Rev Barnard of the Free Baptist
church chose as his theme for his
sermon Sunday "The House on Tho
Sand" The text was read from
Matthew 7th. 20 and q verses.
Jesus came to earth and suffered
that the divine truth might be given
to the people The son Of man came
not to condemn the world bat that
man might be saved He took M
first. the people that build on the
sands. 1--WE hear His word and say
that we do His work but have not
adherence to Jesus Christ. He will
say "If you have done my works
do not know you"
The second part of the sermon was
the House" People can make char
acters what they will by the aid OF
Jesus Christ and characters are a
part of the house. If we must choose
the foundation Of our house and tho
character will follow voluntarily. Tho
houses on the sand are the characters
of the unholy,"
The speaker described next tht
forces that destroy the house. "ThC
people go out into the world and th'
worldly tempest beats against then
and they find themselves in tn,
grasps of the waves of sin with oul
the power TO shake them off " Tn,
Ruin of the House" was the last
phase of the sermon. If the house
is cheap, the destruction is MOI
thought of but If palace is destroy
ed 1t Is terrible. If souls were not In
mortal their destruction would moi
