STRONG DELIvtRANctS
Jesus Christ Is Living Today and His
Resurrection the Great Event In
History, Says Speaker.

! The Oldest and Greatest Living
Man" was the rather unique subjec;
announced by Evangelist Norman III
Camp at the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A
Tuesday Club
| The visiting speaker was received
with applause when he was introduced
by Secretary Thomas, and prefaced
| his thoughtful address with pleasant
words of greeting.
Citing the instances of greatest
longevity on record. the speaker APP
preached the heart Of his subject with
the declaration that "the oldest and
greatest living man today and the
greatest and longest lived of all time
| is Jesus Christ
| He feared that there Is too great a
tendency to regard the Saviour as a
spirit, whereas He Is a present perfec'
living Christ. The resurrection OF
/ Christ lis the great fact of the ages
1T is the keystone of the Christian
arch. The Waterloo of infidelity. Christ
rose from the tomb in bodily shape
cession for u.s." He linked Himself
definitely with humanity that He
might lift us to the skies Here the
speaker succinctly rehearsed the
orthodox doctrine of salvation from
sin through. Christ.
The Christ is not only our Saviour
but He will be our judge by the APP
pointment OF the Father of US all. but
no man need fear the judgment IL he
will accept the free salvation offered.
The trouble with our social. political
and Industrial problems is that We
| leave Christ out of the account and
this fact causes strikes and wars and
strife and. sadder to say, He is left
out too largely in our religion. The
utilization of our social and personal
lifes by real faith in the man jesus
is the need of the hour.
! The speaker closed with an eloquent
plea for the enthronement of Chris
I, in public and private life. and for ths
co-opera ton of his hearers in making
the need of prayer very helpful to tht
mem bers of the association and tht
community at large.
! Mr.. w. d. Duke closed the SERVED
with prayer of benediction.
| The evangelist conducts prayer
service every morning at 10 O'Clock
! In the association building and speak:
every night at s o'clock. He il max
ing fine impression. He speak:
/ fluently and presents his message In &
/ forceful, calm and logical manner
/ In a pleasant interview with Mr.
Camp after the service yesterday tht
evangelist said that while the Sptri
/ of commercialism desire for pleasure
| the multiplicity of cults and fad
/ had initiated against the inculcatior
and diffusion Of spiritual truth. ye
there are many encouraging signs Of
restlessness and better knowiedg,
| of God A great need of the age. HI
thinks. is a profounder consciousness
of SHIFTS awfulness and all around
seriousness Sin as a principle or at
actually is not taken seriously
/ enough, Mems minds are becoming
muddled with vain theories and alb.
stractions. making it hard to convince
them that sin is not some trivial or a
/ lease nonvital matter. But you ars
not a persimist ventured the scribe
to which the evangelist answered witt
/ face beaming with smiles, NO. no.
| look up, not down, and believe tina
everything will come cut all right
| Mr.. Camp is no sensationalist anG
| his methods are not repe1Iant to tht
ultra conservative churchman. and hi.
manner surely bears the Moody stamp
| He is one of the Moody Bible institute
STAFF. and his training and practice a.
a lawyer. which profession he gave W
to enter the eyangeliatic field, is mad,
| OF good use In presenting spiritua
| truth to men.
! The associations orchestra lead:
the spirited singing at each nights
services.
