consciousness OF the power of the
Lord helped active Christian, too,
the evangelist advised the crowd.
IF you are conscious that you are
| in touch %lth omnIpotence, that you
are hitched TO dynamo, that you
nave a divine backing, that you have
the mighty behind you. you won't care
what it said but will keep on work

Here he likened Christian TO an
electrician, who said tina! he did not
have the power in his pocket but
that his plant had it. You ana |
ought to be spiritual electricians" he
shouted. you are to- 90 forth as an
ambassador Of Jesus Christ.
Dr., Lyon told of Jesus using tho
towel to wash the feet Of his discip,
les, and lamented the faci that many
persons today, literally speaking,
would rather use the sword than the
towel.
Many can WELD the sword, but
they can't touch the border OF ts"'
ell" he told the audience. THE sword
should be used to defend. and the
towel to fulfill duty"
The conception OF service has also
been changed" the evangelist added.
w. even have had grea: political
revivals aud transformations in the f.
nancial world. There is gOins to De'a
bigger change than eve! in the next
ten years. Some men arc needing
the words CT Andrew Carnegie. Even
John d. Rockefeller knows that to be
true and Is trying TO rid himself Of
his abundance Of finances. 1t is not
he who has the most now, hut he who
gives the most.
When talking about the humility OF
Jesus Christ DR.. Lyon again took q
shot at the so,caIlcd society flock
when he remarked: THE most despic
able Of all is the vcnecred, white
washed Goldfish aristOcraCy in towns,
big and little, called the smart set
These people don't know that where
there is greatness there is humility"
The spirit of love has much to do
with Christian service, DR.. Lyon con-
cinded. Have the spirit OF love, be
! oweled with humility and you will
do good work." he said. when you
get Il glimpse of the greatness oil
Ckrists love. you will learn TO love
he unIoving, unloveiy and mlovable
because lie lovhd theme Go forth 10
please Jesus, not man.
| SHOW by your life and service that
you are Christians. The most gloomy
! life is the selfish life. The most sour,
and unhappy ones are the selfish ones.
You get the most JOY out oE what you
, DO for others. Help physically, NOR
ally, materially and physically. "
Dr.. Lyons Principal Talk.
ut Is interesting to note the change
that has come over our Christian lead
srs in the spiritual affairs. They were
formerly called persons, or in otheI
words. chief persons In the commun
ity. Some communities referred to
them rs dominices, masters, but n~'
he is caIlcddn our community the min
lister. There has been unreasonable
reference 10 the minister and the min
stry, those who have taken a the
illogical course In the matter Of work
ing for Jesus Christ. There is no sucI
situation, for Jesus Christ chose his
own, diFIples, or rather his own as
sistantsE | believe right now that !
Jesus Christ would come 10, to star
another campaign on this earth, tina
He I1ald select the very same kline
OF men 10 aid Hin as He chose upor
the c:her occasion when He VISITED
earth. lie would chose lawyer
physician, a farmer, blacksmith
and so on down the line, and the!
would work for Him as the Others
did in the centuries ago. What woulc
that mean If such a conception of the
Divine Spirit could become manifest
in the people OF the present day? I
would mean the greatest victory fo'
God that has ever been known in thu
universe.
