18th verse: Be sober anad hope to the
end for the grace chat is to be brought
unto you at the revelation of Jesus
Christ He said there never was a
time when there was greater need of
getting close to God than the present
time. He said the first need was
readiness for service; second concen-
tration of all our energies to the work
in hand; third, preparation for SER
vice; fourth, strength of character
Weakness leads to wickness. The in
tense heat made the congregation
small but all felt repaid and helped
by this fine talk.
