With Coz ard u Proved very
Interesting To Large Audience

The evening Bible conferences
which closed sunday afternoon with
me address o. ). u. Gordon was With
out doubt the most remarkable and
most helpful gathering OF Bible stu
dents this city has had. The entire
series OF addresses from that OF Rev.
Mel Irotter Monday evening to that
OF Mr. Gordon sunday Afternoon
brought Inspiration and encourage
ment TO those who were privileged TO
attend. Each address was entirely
different from every other one and
each was OF the highest type OF its
character
IL seemed especially fitting that the
conference should close with the sd-
dress OF Mr.. Gordon on Walking With
God In which he brought his hearers
into the closest OF fellowship with
God the Father and Jesus Christ. His
son.
Already there has been a large
number of requests that like con-
Terence be held next winter N not
earlier. The officers OF the Young
Mems Christian association are deserv-
Ing OF great credit for the very sue
cessful manner in which the arrange
ments for the conference were plan
ned and carried out. This work was
done solely in the interest OF more
and better Bible study and without
remuneration to the association what
ever
The attendance has been most graf.

Afternoon Meeting.
The meeting yesterday afternoon be-
gan promptly at $3.50 o'clock by a
song service conducted by W. NJ. Glenn
ans, after which Rev. Charles r. Huts-
Lar, pastor of the Island Christian
church. delivered the invocation. John
=. Lynch, secretary of the Young
Mems Christian association presided
as chairman OF the meeting and intro
uuced ;. ID. Gold dor, who spoke on
walking With Jesus
Rev. ;. ID. Gordon spoke I'm part as
follows: The fifth chapter OF Genesis
is perhaps one of the most tiresome
chapters in the Bible. as verse after
verse practically reads the same. with
only a slight variation in each. Its
uull mentality Is the evidence of Gods
ire IN IL, and the chapter gives n mic
ture OF life as God sees IL.
theoretically Gods life is in every
one and any life with God left out Is
the most uresome thing TO be found.
continual reaching out TO get rid of
the uresome thing in life. as this
tends TO break the monotony
continuing, he said. "Enoch walked
with God. The chapter does not say
that God walked with Enoch. for
Enoch walked with God. As the story
goes men strayed away and God was
lett alone Have you ever had the
experience of being left alone? There
never is any change on Gods part. IL
We were placed in the presence of
anyone, IL would affect us to a great
extent and If we are to walk with
Jesus every day in our business trans
actlons II would make a great change
IN our lives. III we are TO walk with
God II means TO pray, and IL is the
original plan OF life To walk with God
Tor the blood of Jesus is continually
cleansing from all sin.
III man is alone somewhere in
the woods, he will talk TO himself,
put when ne comes out of the woods
INTO the open great change will
come over him, but IL we hide in the
crowd we will fail to succeed and IL
we come out into the light where we
can be seen IL will take some cleans
ing power for us to stand out In the
nght. a great many people prefer 10
stay in the shade or in the crowd than
10 come out into the light and walk
with God. God sees all and we should
Try walking with Him. as il would
nelp us TO find out what the old or
iginal life is.
Bengal was a great teacher and
the reason he succeeded with his pu-
plls was because he had a kind spirit
eAtaN Inc sec
ret OF Bengals success was due To the
TACT that he read his Bible and pray
ed. This kept him on good terms
with God. We should be able TO saw
Lord Jesus we are on the same terms.
Bengal literally said Lord Jesus /
hope you will have a good sleep and
this was the talk of two familiar
friends parting for the night. We
should try walking with Jesus day
after day for IL will help US.
God took Enoch who was the most
aristocratic man of his time. for a
walk and for Enoch II meant that ne
went up out OF the earth without DIV
ing. Those who remained died. Death
Is thing to shrink from but through
Jesus II Is victory.
Christ will return again some time
and all of us who have walked with
Christ Will see him and we will live
in his presence. Christ will take from
us the fever and fret while we are
here. If We will only walk with him"
The closing address of the Bible
conference as delivered by s. ID. Cor
don will no doubt long be remem-
bered by all. as he impressed the one
central idea on every one that was
present OF forming the habit of walk
ing with Jesus" in everything that is
done.
