BULGIN PLEADS FOR SQUARE
DEAL FROM PENDI.ETON
Continued from Page ID

Some thoughts throughout the SER
mon were as follows: "Paul's reply
to the jailer. believe on the Lord Je-
sus Christ and thou shalt be saved
was most complete, for Jesus equals
savior, from sins. Christ is the anoint-
ed who is pleader and keeper after
salvation, and Lord is the master or
ruler whom We as Christians must
obey. Repentance is godly sorrow
Tor sin, and you are so sorry that you
quit the sin. The moral man is
simply sorry because he is caught in
sin, and II never was caught he would
keep on doing 1t. There must be an
atonement. a wiping out OF the sins OF
the past, present and future, that is
only through the death OF Christ. Fra
ternal societies can't save and redeem
a soul; they can't go back and blot
out the past. Justification is a state
OF the soul before God. God can't
justify sinner In his sins. / am lost,
/ realize 1t. Jesus took my place and
bore my sins, and l am in a state of
justification before. Many people
simply try to use religion as a fire
escape. Conversion is a change of
life, right about face. It Is the sin
ner's act Gods act Is redemption.
II conversion is genuine restitution
VIII Follow. Wherever II is possible
for the sinner to restore and repair
what wrong he has done to any one.
God will not require an impossibility."
A number responded and came for
warded Saturday night. Sunday aft
ernoon fair sized house listened to
DR.. Bulgin. Sunday night the taber-
nacle was crowded and he took as his
text Luke 16:31: "If they hear not
Moses and the prophets, neither will
they be persuaded, If one rose from
the dead" Before beginning the SER
mon DR.. Bulgin and his helped. Mr..
George Rose read a series of prophe-
cies from the old testament and their
fulfillment In the new testament rel
ative to Christ and Jerusalem. and
Gods chosen people, the Israelites.
Moses was a prophet" said the
speaker. ITO be prophet one must
have been honest. not deceived and
not know how his prophesies were to
be fulfilled. Moses said Christ was to
De born OF the seed of a woman. not
of man. and that is exactly what
the new testament record says Here
we get the immaculate conception of
Jesus. Moses was the greatest of
teachers. To make the other fellow
see what you see Is to be a successful
teacher. He was most successful in
teaching people who were raised
with many gods, monotneistic re-
ligion, and giving them the ten COM
mandments so pure and simple out of
the midst of such dark society, and
despotism. In literature he stands in
the front rank. The test Of a litera-
ture Is It's aptness to teach, its grasp
OF vital things, and its refutation Of
other things. Nothing does this like
the writings of Moses. AS an eman-
cipator Of slaves the three millions
from Egypt, and at the same time
destroying the very gods of the coun-
try. AS legislator he laid the foun-
dation of civil laws that are still
holding good, and built up the pur-
est democracy and republican form
or government right out OF the midst
of the worst form Of despotism."
DR.. Bulgin stopped to jigress on one
phase Of Moses legislation that is
pertinent to Pendleton and all the In
land Empire. when he said "Pendle-
ton Will never grow with bonanza
farms and farmers. II IS the small
Intensive farming that makes for
larger growth of any nation and Sec
ton of coutry. To overcome this
large holding of land Moses devised
the year of jubilee every SO years. at
which timethere was redistribution
OF the land. Thus he established the
inalienable right of God and the peo.
pie. all the people, to the land"
DR.. Bulgin closed with touching
story OF how he run away from home
after the death of his mother because
OF the ill-treatment of his father,
whom he had soon learned to hate,
Being sick. ne returned home and in
n striking way learned how his faith
er had been converted and had for
given him and ionged for his return
Then said he. you have Moses and
the prophets. and Jesus as the proof
