BACK TO bible. CRYING
need OF Church, He Says

"The shallow sentimentality, that
in many cases is being palmed off as
Christianity, is offensive to God. The
great crying need of the hour is Back
to the Bible back to the purity and
simplicity Of the primitive Christi
anity."
These we're the closing words OF
an earnest appeal by Evangelist l..
E. Froom in his sermon on "The
Elijah Message. or Choose Ye This
Day Whom Ye Will Serve" preached
last night at the Adventist Church, at
Clayton and Howland streets. Con
tinuing, he said:
Professionalism is drifting. Many
modern churches are fast becoming
fashionable social organizations. Fam
lily worship and prayer meetings are
forsaken. Members now play cards.
they dance and attend moving-picture
shows and worse. Brother, sister, you
can't walk with God and dance with
the devil.
Regeneration is the need OF the
hour. Without this our ethics, creeds.
and organizations will never save us.
The tendency of today is to exalt the
creed and the church above the Bible.
Today God is calling for moral re-
form. We must be for OF against
him. No neutral. ground can be
taken"
Next Sunday night Evangelist NJ.
G. Whitmarsh, of Jersey City, will
preach at the Adventist Church.
