The following extracts we're taken
from Rev. Yorks opening sermon.
The look II which this accouI.
occurs IS commonly called the Acts

would b. the Acts Of the Holy Ghost
for it ls he that Is the administrator
In all the works Of the Apostles.
And the manner OF Gods work
among men Is better portrayed here
than anywhere else in the Bible.

men Just az he did then.
Cornelius Was an unwelcome for

came a seeker after light. He was

'Nov at the Other end Of the line
God must work miracle, not in the
interest Of the heatnen, but to take
the denominational and racial preiu-
dice ont Of an inspired apostle. He
lets down a sheet fastened at the
four corners while Peter prays and
hungers. Peter objects to eating
anything common or unclean the Ike
Of which was found in the sheet
But God tells him that what God
hath clennsed thou call not common
or unclean. God cleared his per-
Dleyity By telling him that there
were three men waiting at the gate
for him whom he had sent to con-
duct him to heathen seeking
Christ. The Lord tells Peter to go,
nothing doubting. When Peter ar
rived he found small congregation
gathered at the invitation and solici-
tation Of Cornelius, and Immediately
began to preach Christ and him
crucified While he spake the Holy
Ghost fell on the whole assembly
and they were received into Chris
,ian church.
Thus God is calling men now from
darkness to light, calling sinners to
repentance, calling penitence to be-
lieve and he is no less calling
church members who themselves
have been converted to lead by
using their own experience. the way
ward to God. Would 1t not be pos
sible to reach evegy sinner with the
gospel OF salvation II every Chris
tian would live up to the light and
opportunity that he or she has. even
