2. The new emphasis of service
Yesterday it was the declaration OF
the subjective within. Today. it is not
the subjective test, but what a man
can do for his Lord and the service
that he can render to Him. The test
now is, What can a man do on the
Lords job?'
3. The test today is efficiency. Lax
business methods are passing away
The great test is to go where the Son
of Man bids us go; even to the utter
most parts of the earth" and men are
meeting the test. What challenge
the lowly Nazarene is making to the
men of this generation. And they are
responding. Are you also?
IL. "A Dream and Its Realization
was presented by DR.. E. NJ. Evans, OF
BEST Moines. 1t was an appealing adj
dress, an outline OF which follows:
1. We are beginning to get world
vision from the high altitude of Cal
vary's brow. Everywhere, as never be-
fore, people are wanting Jesus. In all
pagan rites we see souls seeking God;
while in their rites they do not get
the relief sought, yet they are blindly
seeking the God who can give them
relief from their souls burden.
2. AS the whole world is now go
ing out to God, the church must in ev-
erything give her best; nought else
will do.
3. The church's responsibility.
Many. a servant of the Lord has sui
fered in the past because many church
members have not been doing what
they should have done. In the past
the church has been sleeping on its
job. There has been a financial drag
because of the lack of knowledge. In
a thousand things of the world thG
most of the membership has been busy
TOO busy to get information. And
they have remained "too busy" until
it was too late. "Too busy" about all
other things, but Gods business.
a. This movement is the greatest
thing that has come to the world since
the day of pentecost The first thing
to be done is for the preacher and the
official board to get down on their
knees before God and ask His forgive
ness for their past neglect OF God S
business. Then the official board must
boost. Not for money alone, but for
God and His church, fnr: All things are
Gods. Every man is Gods steward.
A good steward renders to God regu-
larly what is justly Gods. If we be.
lieve in God and Christ we must be-
lieve the bible./ If we believe the bible
we must believe in heaven and hell. If
we believe in all these we must also
believe in tithing. for the bible says
God demands the tenth" and if we do
not do Gods will and keep His com.
mandments we will be lost.
Who shall 1.-THE? The rich. All,
here is where we get stuck. How
Gods kingdom would flourish if the
rich would 1.-THE. Many are like the
"Rich Fool' who said, Soul thou hast
much goods laid up for many years;
take thine ease, eat, drink and be mer-
ry."
The poor. Yes, the poor also, for
"
not do this then We rob God. Many a
Brother Chestnut would soon be in the
pen if he should rob folks as he robs
God.
The church needs the very best thai
is lin you. Will you give it? Where
will you be in eternity if you remain
Indifferent until it is too late?
