Who was Jesus, Man or a God2
proclaimed publicly by leading Okla
homa City ministers to be the most
profound sermon ever preached In that
town, will be delivered tonight at the
tabernacle by Lincoln Mcconnell, who
is rapidly recovering strength and vi
talty after a period of exhaustion.
| This sermon is one essentially for
| thinkers, it is said, and Is Of amazing
depth and weight. 1t treats Of science.
the origin of life, the divine concep-
tion,- containing argument OF Christ's
divinity. Il is an exhaustive treatise
rather than mere sermon, a marvel
ously detailed exposition Of the worlds
development from tn beginning OF
time to the present day.
Doubters Of Christs divinity have
marveled over this sermon, and others
who have called themselves Christian
yet disbeIieved the virgin birth of the
Nazarene have had their doubts elm
mated by it. The sermon was repeat
ed by request, by vote Of thousands
of people, at Oklahoma City, and also
at Ell Reno, when meetings were held
\ there.
/ Cost Of Covering Sin.
Mcconnell preached a striking ser
mon last night on the cost Of men COW
7 erng their sin and the reward givea
} them when they confess 1t to God and
) seek forgiveness. He closed with
J dramatic declaration that every man
would ultimately confess; that it WAS
merely question Of when and how;
that God would compel confession be-
fore ali the assembled world end after
the humiliation Of it would issue the
:, command, "Now departl"
He read that declaration In Pro
! verbs which states that he who covers
: his sin shall not prosper but he who
! confesses shall have mercy. Ever
since man began to sin Satan has been
keeping him at it by persuasion, Nc
= ConneII said, but il men could ever see
sin in its true light they certainly
would not commit it as readily and
, : easily as they do in their Ignorance.
- Some folk depend on their opinion
as to what sin Is, he said, and It Is
common today to hear people talk as
though they had anything to do with
the Judgment of sin. III God had not
written a book Illuminating right and
wrong then man would have a righl
"a an opinion, he declared, but Goo
did set down the law therefore mans
~ opinion amounts to nothing. People
are going to be judged not by opinion
II or feelings but by the mighty facts
Gods word, Mcconnell asserted, am
% out Of every 100 persons in Amer
III lea know what the Bible teaches.
of The evangelist asserted that peopl
.ci- were not disturbed over their cond
eft tion because Satan had deceived ther
re- into believing they could cover thei
,ve sins. They had hidden them froi
md men. and believed they could hid
The the from God. They even did not joi
the church because they thought
wu they did not make public professic
