New Birth Mr.. Lindgren declared
that the Christian life was a matter
OF birth relationship and not merely a
code of morals or rule of living. He
said in part: 1T is the neglect Of
this most important doctrine of the
new birth that leads so many folks
to say, I will try to be a. Christian,
That's useless and impossible. You
might as well try to be a !Chinaman.
You could live in every respect as a
Chinaman lives and yet not be one.
You would have to be born ,again~'tO
ever become a real Chinaman. And
you could live in every respect as a
Christian ought to live and yet not
be one. You Would be only an imita-
ton. Ye must be born again. Jesus
made this statement to Nieodemus
who stood high morally and was an
intensely religious man. Morality
was not enough and neither was re-
ligion. You can have morality with.
out Christianity. Christianity is
religion but religion isn't always,
Christianity. There are some people
30 full Of religion they can hardly
swallow who know nothing of the
new birth. It is through, the. new
birth that We become children of
God. There is no such thing as the
universal fatherhOod of God. Jesus
branded some people of his day as
children of the devil and that. race
is stu in existence. You say that
God is unjust In letting unsaved peo-
pie go to hell. There's a worse place
than he'll for unsaved people to go,
and that's heaven, for II YOU are not
born again heaven would be worse
than hell to you. You must be born
again or there is no heaven for you"
Sixty-two boys and girls registered
their decisions for Christ at the meet
ing for them yesterday afternoon.
There is probably no evangelist in
the work who is more thorough or
careful in his work among young
folks than Rev. Lewis. Yesterdays

the meetings for these children will
be resumed next Tuesday. sa

by Rev. Waterman at the Baptist
mission last night that resulted in
twelve professions.
