Y, was the speaker at the evangelistic
service in the afternoon. Several hymns
were sung, the conference quartet
sang and Rev. Henry Clay Turner
read the Scripture.
He took as his text the words from
the Gospel of St. John, the 10th cnap-
ter: Il am come that ye might have
it more abundantly.'
lone of the strange things in the
life Of Jesus Christ was his constant
attempt to define Himself. Jesus Christ
was the self expression of Almighty
God. Jesus Christ was the manifesto
ton Of the sovereignty of God. There
is such a thing as death; there is
such as the failure of life.
Lessons Of Today
WHY the European War? What is
to be it's outcome? There are some les
sons today that are plain Russia has
pressed home upon her people a de-
Christianized religion. She has muir
dered the Jews and kept alive race
hatred.
Austria Hungary is the favored
child Of Papacy that has built up a
ritualism. Germany has dethroned the
supernatural and enthroned the super
man. Belgium shocked the world by
the atrocities upon the Congo. Come
little further and you have a nation
that was the home of political revolu-
ton without God. England promised to
protect the Christian subjects of Tur-
key and a generation later Salisbury
broke his promise to civilization. Eng
land drove opium upon China with the
might of her guns.
Violation Of Gods Law
Every nation that is in the war today
has openly violated the law of God. just
as Almighty God transforms the spring
into the summer, SO he transforms hui
man life. Jesus Christ is primarily q
builder. He did not say l am the ipecac
of life. He did not say / am the calomel
Of life. He said II am the bread of life.
So it is that God builds a human soul.
1t is not strange that there are civiliza
tons that are adequate to the conscious
ness of today outside the influence of the
Son Of God. Never was that so plainly
marked as today. Every passing year il
becomes more evident that humanity
must have the Gospel OF Jesus Christ
Christianity is the swinging open of doors
to an endless journey. We are convinced
that man cannot realize himself with
out God. What a hollow thing is free
dom without God.
Where Jesus Christ has touched hu
mainly there it surges onward and up
ward.
Our Present Task
Today it is our task to press upon MGR
the need Of Christ. The applications that
come to men are: First, that every Oh, is
tan is the expression of Jesus Christ
And again it is only through the devel
opment of our discipleship that we car
realize ourselves very much. AS we lift
up the Son of God so the glory Of Cos
comes down to bless mankind.
81 am come that We might have life
Let me nourish you and support you. un
til the life of Infinite God shall be yours.
For as He is lifted up the race shall bt
brought to God.
