AT THE GOSPEL TENT

Regardless Of the unpleasant
weather on Sunday night. the gospel
! tent on Oklawaha avenue was crowd
ed with interested hearers who gave
i good attention 10 a lecture on The
Great Counterfeit OF Christianity" de-
livered by Carlyle 3. Haynes. the
evangelist, who said in part:
We are brought TO the conclusion
by our study OF this chapter (the Sth
chapter of Danien that in the fulfill
ment Of this prophecy there was o
| appear on earth a complete counter
| felt of the whole work of Christ in
heaven. which would set itself before
the people as the true work Of
Christ. while at the same time being
only and altogether a fraud and a
counterfeit
Now, in order 10 succeed. this sys-
tenn must appear very similar to the
genuine; that is, it must, at least in
outward appearance, possess all the
features Of the gospel. 1t Will use
Christian terms. and have Christian
forms. ceremonies and institutions.
And underneath this outward appear
ance its sole work is 10 cast down the
truth 10 the ground 1t will do the
work OF Satan while protesting TO 10
the work OF Christ And in his de-
ception it will prosper, so that many
people will give their allegiance TO
it, thinking they are serving Christ.
But during its entire history it never
is anything else but a mammoth de-
ception.
In the true work of Christ We are
told that there is a true sanctuary
which is in heaven itself. In this
false system there will be a false
sanctuary on earth to which its de-
voices will give great reverence. In
the true work and service OF Christ
for his people there is a true priest
hood, of which Christ himself is our
High Priest The counterfeit will
have false priesthood on earth, and
that false priesthood viii profess 20
do for men all that Christ does for
men in heaven; that is, forgive their
sins. Therefore, instead OF looking
to Christ for salvation this false sys-
tenn will lead men to seek salvation
through itself
In the true service Of Christ there
is the truth concerning the true God
whom the gospel leads US TO worship.
In this false system a counterfeit God
is substituted for the true. and isl
called another God on earth. But in
order that this may not reveal the
whole thing to be a deception this
other God is said to only represent
the true God, while at the same time
he demands all the worship which
men should give only TO the true God
He is called the Holy Father In the
true work of Christ there is a true
Savior, true mediator, a true advo-
cate with the Father. who is Jesus
Christ. the righteous. In the false
system there is a false Savior, a false
mediator. and a false advocate who.
in order thta the false may appear TO !
be the true, is called the mother Of
God In the true there is a true sac
rifce and Offering, in the false the
substitute sacrifice of the mass will |
appear. In the true there is a true al |
tar, true law, a true Sabbath. and !
a true service and worship. while III
the false there will appear a false al
tar, false law, false Sabbath. and |
a false service and worship
The length of the time in which
this false system will be permitted O,
God to deceive the people OF this
world by its system of substitutes We
will be compelled to leave to be dis.
cussed tomorrow night. and the sub
ject that night l have announced as
Jesus Proven T. Be the True Mes
siah."
Last night Mr. Haynes spoke on the
above subject. basing his remarks
upon the time prophecy of Daniel,
9;24-27. Tonight he will further con
tinue the study of this prophecy un-
der the topic. The Cleansing OF the
Sanctuary"
