for just one hour. The large chorus

of all Evangelical churches coming
into the service.
In the afternoon DR.. Lamkin
spoke on Gods Personal Promises,
which are characterized in 2 Peter
la as exceeding great and precious,
Whereby are given unto us exceed
ing great and precious promises. :
All of Gods promises are inspired,
said the evangelist, but they do not
come to us by inspiration. We must
delve down into the rich mine of
eternal truth and discriminate be-
tween Gods national and His per-
sonal promises, In four-fold way
he spoke of these as Gods personal
promises of Eternal Life-of Divine
Protection--of answer to prayer
and of success in christian work. He
blended with these propositions
many passages of scripture which
beautifully and fittingly illustrated
the truth and made the message
real to those who were fortunate
enough to be at the service.
At the evening service DR.. Lam.
