The Sunday Evening Sermon.
The text of the evening sermon was
Hebrews xiii, xiii. and xiv.-Neither
by the bloods of goats and calves, but
by His own blood He entered in once
into the holy place having obtained
eternal redemption for US.
For if the blood of bulls and of
goats and the ashes of an heifer
sprinkling the unciean, sanetifeth TO
the purifying of the flesh;
How much more shall the blood OF
Christ, who through the eternal Spirit
offered Himself without spot to God,
purge your conscience from dead works
to serve the living God?
In part Mr.. Sunday said:
"That many battles are fought over
the doctrines which should be preach
ed and the many new doctrines are
springing up constantly, invented by
people who refuse to believe the teach
ings of the churches. That many fell
lows read the Bible a little and take
from it what they want and then go
OuA anu OuAAu a ChdACh anu pTEdCU
their opinion to the world. "AlI the
good denominations that are preaching
God could be counted on the fingers of
two hands and 80 per cent of them can
be knocked into perdition by anybody
who understands the Bible.
God never undertook to give to the
world the plan of redemption in one
view said Mr.. Sunday, but from the
time of Adam and Eve in the garden
of Eden until Christ died on the cross,
the plan was constantly being more
and more revealed through the pro-
phets."
"a sinner has no standing with God,
but God regards him as though he
didn't exist. Of course, he exists
physically and mentally, but spiritu-
ally he is dead. 1 believe that Adam
and Eve did not understand what God
meant when he told them that they
would die if they ate of the forbidden
fruit. There is nothing in the Bible
that says so, but it is my opinion they
did not know what death meant and
never saw a dead one. Then after
Adam ate the forbidden fruit. they
realized and tried to cover their naked
ness with hg leaves and God slew
some of the animals and threw their
skins ver the shoulders OF Adam and
Eve. From that day to this people
have been trying to make fig leaves out
Of their culture and ph~ilanthrophy and
science and other things, but God
sees through them and sees the maxi
edness of their souls.
You stick you pigmy brain beside
God and find fault with His plan of
redemption, but don't think that things
won't be the way they are related in
the Bible just because they don't suit
your opinions. Men go to hell b. fol
lowing their opinions; they get to
heaven by following the teachings of
the Bible. / read a great deal" Rev.
Sunday enumerated a list of his favor
lite books. which started OFF with the
Bible and included mostly lives of
former evangelists.
II read all these books about the
new religious and infidelity and / have
never found the first argument yet
made to overthrow Gods plan of re-
demption which would stand the test
of reason for Ave minutes"
1T is the rule in life for the inno-
cent to suffer for the guilty. Take the
mother who stays awake OF nights
waiting for her boy to come home,
staggering and vomiting and spewing
in a drunken stuper. Her heart is torn
by his conduct, while that beer-soak-
ed wretch doesn't care at ali. You
have to be a mother with such d son
to appreciate what she suffers. Take
the wife that waits at night FOR her
