FOR THEY THAT HEAR

walton Says Rev. MIR. Whit,
ney at First Baptist.

"A talk with the Christ" from John
20 was the subject at the evening
services at the Baptist church Sunday
by the Rev. A. B. Whitney. In part
the speaker said: IN the act Of put
ting things. Christ was indeed master.

be the test This shines clear in the
third Of John, itself the substance Of
the gospel. Here we listen to his di-
vine voice; and If as sincere as the
one with whom he speaks we may rec
Ognize that one self and find the in
cident real, personal and up TO date.
As we hear we are impressed that
in every human life there is absolute
necessity for radical change,
This divine voice assures that the
natural man must become a spiritual
man: he must get into another king
dom, in fact must be heaven born,
This need is absolute for Christ says
must" 1t is by the Holy Spirit that
anyone begins christian life, without
which there can be no true church life.
To bring this TO pass Christ came to
US. AS no airship can sail to the sun,
no one can get TO heaven of himself;
he needs God. AS astronomers tell
us, the milky way is paved with fixed
stars of unreasonable distance. But
brighter than the starry way, is the
luminous highway of divine love over
which Christ descended from his
throne to our insignificant planet. Him
self, His own ambassador royal, bring

sage of the truth.
We must have life, the life of the
spirit The vegetable can only bring
forth the vegetable. Only from the
animal can come animal life.
Brain life depends on brains,
soul life on soul, and spiritual life
from the Holy Spirit. Intellectual,
physical and temporal life, that the
Bible calls the natural man, unchang-
ed and sinful, does not suffice. There
must be a spiritual life. for present
and future salvation. The voice of
Christ means this. Some day you
shall see him, in love or fear and
hear him again, wise are we now to
take him at his word, for they that
hear shall live.
