Rev Il. J. Campbell, pastor of City
Temple, is coming back to his for
mer orthodox and conservative faith.
In his Easter sermon he said that he
believed the gospel narratives of the
resurrection are strict records of what
took place, and in recent sermon
he is quoted as saying: You are not
your own saviour. Christ liz your
Saviour and no one ever does bear
the full score of his own sins. To
do so would be an impossibility for the
noblest Of the human race. There Is
cleansing blood flowing from I'M
manuels veins that saves and re-
stores poor guilty souls"
