MUCH AND LASTING GOOD
WAS ACCOMPLISHED
DIR. WHITE LEAVES
Ends Last Sermon With an Earn
est Appeal for 4 Thorough
Cleansing of Anderson.

ten days came to close last night
and Dr., White left On .he 9:4o car for
his home in Atlanta.
Il was a wonderful meeting In
every way and much and lasting good
has been accomplished in the church
and in the town. In the morning DR..
White spoke from the text. John
1920, "Sir. we would see Jesus" He
spoke of the close personal touch
with the Saviour Christ, an ever pres
ent. ever available comrade. Did the
Greeks really want to see Jesus or
was 1t curiosity. or did they long 20
know him as Lord? To see Jesus
is to be in earnest in your heart for
which you are willing to pay the
price. You can not have Jesus as
toy. You mus tcount the cost and be
80 In earnest as to follow Him. The
Jewish nation would not receive him
and 1t was curse to them.
John the Baptist wanted to see him.
When b. saw him he had to pay the
price. He must increase. but ! mast
decrease"
He paid the price and 1t made him
one of the worlds greatest men.
Zaccheus wanted to see him, but It
cost him four times what he had
from others. but he rose to the occa-
sion.
If you see him you must give up
everything to him and let him rule
over your life. If Americana succeed
as Christians We must be willing to
realize that we are not Independent
of him. We must let him control us.
| These men OF the text seem to have
some obstacle in the way of seeing
Jesus. The disciples are between

difficult to see Jesus. So now, where
Is Jesus? Why is 1t hard for the
world to see Jesus?
Men know that Jesus is for them
but doubt the church. The church
must reveal Jesns. rather tke. h,ia
him. II ChristiaHs do not lead the
world to see Jesus in their own lives
the world will go more and more
away from the church. Let's not
make it hard for men 10 know and
see Jesus.
! These disciples were in the way
with their officiaIism. The less Off.

At night DR.. Whites subject was
"The Kingdom OF Heaven" In the
Scripture lesson for the evening he
read of men OF valor, faithful and
true. utterly devoted to their CAPTAIN,
David. ready and willing to do his
slightest wish. Their passionate pur-
pose was to make David king and SO
we learn a lesson from this. the ono
absolute purpose or Christians life
Is to make Jesus king. Why do we
want to make Christ king in South
Carolinat In Anderson? Because II
Is the passionate desire of Jesus to
be king. That is the one for which
he came the absortbg aim OF his Iife
was to set up the kingdom of Gcd.
Almost two-thirds of the words he ut.
tered during his life were about the
Kingdom. He said IL any man started
Tor the kingdom and turned back he
was not fit for the kingdom.
i We want him because it would be
such blessing to humanity. We
ought to be tired OF everything go
ing wrong. Will you try to imagine
your town and community without
Christ? Do you know why you have
as many blessings as you have? DO
you know why your town is worth liy-
ing in? 1t is because it is enthroned
In some hearts. One ci>"-rt Is worth
more than dozen policemen. The
safety and happiness of people are
In proportion to. the measure OF the
kingdom of God In the hearts of the
people. Women and children suffer
because OF SO many Goddess women
Make Christ king because he wants
to be and because the people need
him. How and where may we do this
