At the close of the sermon a state
| ment was read that 500 word state
ment had been sent out to the Asso-
ciated Press giving in detail what DR..
Bulgin had asked done In Pendleton
toward real cleanup. And again the
audience went wild with applause.
The incident of Mr.. Hyde being
transformed into DR.. Jekyll was no
more striking than after DR.. Bulgin
had read his text, Samuel s:1-9
These verses" said he, tell of the
lame son Of Jonathan whose name
was Mephibosheth, and who was the
only living heir Of the house of King
Saul, and who had been in hiding
since David had become king lest like
other eastern kings, David might kill
him too" Then DR.. Bulgin told Of
the beautiful love and friendship be-
tween David and Jonathan during
their lifetime and Of their pledge OF
fidelity made in blood which has been
a type of brotherhood ever since, and
which cost Jonathan a throne. Now
David Is king and he searches out any
Of Jonathan's relatives so that he
might befriend them and learns that
this crippled Mephibosheth is in hid
ing. Then the royal messenger goes
for Mephibosheth and brings him to
the palace before David, after he had
been cleaned up, and the lame and
deformed in both his feet he is lifted
to the kings table and there fed and
given the lands of King saul to sup
port him. and so remained to the day
of his death.
I'm the first place." said DR.. Bull
gin. "Mephibosheth is a picture OF the
sinful soul. He was crippled in both
his feet and he knew it and called
himself dog in King David's sight.
Man must recognize that he is lost.

OF the history Of the world can be
spelled with three letters, sim II is
sin that makes a man who is elected
f, to office sell his trust for so many
dollars. Now we don't like to look
don't like to call things by their right
names. and you may call it total de-
pravity or original sin or what you
like, but any way our mother Eve let
us fall and we sinned and Bob Inger-
soil was just about right when he said

sin Is. In English we just have one

brew has one word for sin when a

| acts gets twisted or out of harmony or
| tune with God. Like the moral man
who seems to be In harmony with the
ideals of the world and his own mind
but doesn't measure up to Gods
standard. Then also another word
for sin which means to miss the mark,
like man shooting at target. He
may be near but gets no prize money
unless he hits the right target. So
1t is that men have devised many ways
to get to heaven and escape sin, but
God has one way and that is by way
of Calvary, and the man that didn't
have on the proper wedding garment

Jesus said that wedding garment is

"You shut your best friend out

saved for the sake Of another. He
was not worthy. but he saved for the
love David had for Jonathan his faith.
