Rev. j. r. Vannatta took for his
subject on Sunday morning last, AN
/ Appreciation of the Spirits Pres
4 ence, the text being found in St. John
18th Chapter, 18th verse Even the
/ Spirit of truth whom the world cam
! not receive because it seeth Him not
neither knoweth Him; but We know
Him for He dwelleth with you and
shall be in you" He said the words
of the text spoken by Jesus to his di-
| ciples is just as true today as they
were then Does God dwell with the
! children of men," is being asked to-
day as it was asked by Solomon in
his day. The Spirits presence with
us has many purposes. First, to pre-
pare us for heaven; second, to pre-
pare all believers for an inheritance
incorruptable, undefiled that fadeth
not away; third, it guides to all
truth; fourth, it teaches us to pray.
No man can come to God without the
Spirits drawing. The sermon was
greatly enjoyed by large and APP
