WITH LOCAL PASTORS SUNDAY
SIGNS OF GOD PRESENT
ALL OVER SAYS M0SlER
Asserts those VINO Do Not Believe
Fail to Comprehend Visible
Manifestations.

ANY one who says there is no God
does not consider that every effect
must have a cause, and that we are
living in world OF effects, showing
design and skill in their composition
which make them inseparable from
designer and creator" said Rev. j.
O. Mosier, pastor OF the Mizpah Evan
gelical church, Sunday evening, In his
sermon on the subject Without God
in the World"
The one who has excluded God
from his heart is without God in
the world, this might be called athe-
ism Of the heart, and there are many
Of such. Then there is practical athe-
ism or the atheism Of life; not having
the image OF God in which man was
created. this has been effaced, the
likeness all gone, holiness all gone
and everything gone. Without the
love of God, and yet at the same time
having love for everything else, and
God has said that we should love him
above all else.
IF any one is without God, he is
without the fear of God, and such
can curse and swear and think very
little about ii. can violate his laws
and pay very little attention TO it;
while at the same time we read that
angels fear God and that devils fear
him and tremble, yet man without
God can do many evil things without
fear. He is also without the acknow-
Judgement Of God; he receives favors
by way of the blessings of Christian
civilization, food, raiment, and SO
forth and never acknowledges once
that these things are a gift OF God.
Lastly, he is without the favor of
God.
The face Of the Lord is against
them that do evil, and human expert
ence only proves too true that this is
the case without a doubt. The wages
of sin is the same today death as
ever before, and Gods law is as un-
changeable as it ever was; if we COM
ply with the law we shall receive ia
vOrable results, and if we disregard
the same we must suffer the cOnse-
quences. In all ages when the people
turned to the Lord they did obtain
mercy for their tears of repentance
Praise the Lord"

BE CHEERFUL
SAYS FRESHLEY
rastOr Declares Many Need IL In

Medicine.

"Cheerfulness is not the absence
of seriousness, it is not Tipping, it
is not taking a shallow view of life.
.Cheerfulness sees difficulties but sur
mounts them, it sees the swamp but
climbs the hill. it sees the clouds
but knows the sun is shining behind
pastor OF the First Evangelical
church, Sunday morning in his ser
mon on Cheerful Christians"
"Cheerfulness is pSwer. Gloom
clogs the wheel, but cheerfulness oils

a good dose of cheerfulness instead
Of medicine. Hume said, The habit
Of looking on the bright side of things
is worth more than an income of one

Do not hang dismal picture on your
wall and do not deal with gloom
in your conversation Talmage said

Master Was Cheerful.
"Cheerfulness is possible. 1t was
so with our Master and with Paul.
We may not always be on the noun
tain top neither was Jesus or Paul.
There are some people that are never
happy unless they are miserable. If
sick today let US expect to be well
tomorrow. If it rains today the sun
will shine tomorrow. The real cheer
fulness is to have Jesus in our hearts.
I'VE ought TO be honest, truthful,
just pure, kind and above all cheer
full. We are always bound TO be
cheerful if we will make the most of
our lives. We have no more right
TO unload our nasty. ugly temper on
other people than we have to dump
our garbage in their back yards. We
can not be at our best unless we are
cheerful while at our tasks no mat
ter what they may be If we are
not cheerful while about our business
how can we expect others to be TO
us2
ITO our God we must be cheerful
first of all. Why should children of
the King be gloomy, wall and grum-
Die. Jesus did not say 'Ye are the
clouds of the world, but We are the
light Of the world, and Let your
light SO shine before men,"

REAL CHRISTIAN
|NSPECTS SELF
Rev. Clyde Vinegar Asserts
Self Examination Would
Produce More Religion.

"Self examination is duty of
great Importance and must be dis
charged with utmost care and fidel-
ity. II this duty were regarded more
there would be more happiness and
less forinality and apathy in the
churCb-we would have more Chris
tianity and less 'churchanity,' and re-
ligion would be rendered more attrac-
tive to the world" said Rev Clyde
Wynegar, Sunday night, in his ser
mon on self Examination" at the
Stull NJ. Z. church in place of the
pastor, Rev. ]. +. Mckay.
If a man regularly investigates
his secular affairs he knows his state
and acts accordingly, if he neglects
the investigation the results may be
painful.
ITO examine means to inspect, to
make trial, to enter upon a strict in
quiry and for this purpose 10 COM
mence with our own hearts We are
also eXhorted to prove ourselves to
try ourselves as metals are tried; if
found pure they are approved, if not.
they are repeated and esteemed as
reprobated. This duty is personal.
1t begins at home, where the duty is
required. Some are apt to examine
other persons uncharitably and with
consciousness. 1t is possible for us
to see the note in our brothers eye
when there is a bean in our own.
Have we ever been convinced of
our lost estate? Have we ever felt
ourselves to be helpless2 Have we
been reconciled 10 God by faith in
Him? Have we ever rejoiced in par
doning love, justifying grace, the
privileges of adoption?
Are We Faithful"
las to our faith, do we heartily
believe the doctrines of the gospel?
Do we live up to them and can we
say like Paul, L am crucified'? This
is a point of such Importance as to
involve our salvation. If we are in
the faith, all of the other graces will
follow in their train. If not in the
faith, 1t matters not what else we
in vain. As to our hope, If faith is
right, hope will be right as there can
be no hope without faith.
AS to our connection with the
church Is it any better for us be-
ing in it; Are we an honor or an
impediment to it? Do we desire,
contribute and pray for its prosper
ity? Compare our disposition, spirit
and conduct to the teachings of Gods
word and with the example Of Christ.
Self examination is essential to
Jul lulpi w clAlclll, our Interest ana
our felicity. 1t will lead to humility,
10 repentance, to faith and to a right
and healthy state. II will warn us
OF dangers and lead to our deliver
ance and safety. Even as a mariner
keeps a lookout, throws out his life
line, makes his observations and re-
pairs the most serious injuries. So
in the voyage of a Christian who
would not make shipwreck Of his
faith, must be watchful and diligent
and make it his express business to
look into his state and ascertain his
progress"

POWER OF GOD CAN BREAK
ANY EVIL VACCINATIONS
Rev. Howard Clifford Speaks on Re

Sincere Belief.

That God is able through Christ

truthfulness, cOvetOusness, inOrdinate
pleasure seeking is undoubtedly true
and confirmed by tens of thousands
Of sinners of the world. said Rev.
Howard Clifton, associate pastor of the
First Presbyterian church Sunday
evening in his sermon at the City Res
cue Mission on Jefferson blvd, on the
subject. He Is Able 10 Save"
ITO the cOmpletest redemption OF
your life and character He is able to
save you 10 the very uttermost. This
indeed is the full purpose of His in
carnatiOn. That He should save His
people from their sins.
1T is fully within His province to
save men from the guilt of sin. This
is not only an opinion, but a blessed
conviction. and that conviction has
moulded the lives of untold numbers
OF saints. That as far as the east is
from the west so far has He removed
our tranSgreSsiOns from us That haV-
ing borne our guilt in His own body.
and suffered the just for the unjust,
He has brought about our justification
and the burden. or the intolerable
sense Of guilt which had before weight
ed us down has given place 10 a
sense Of JOY and freedom, mixed with
gratitude None need despaiT-nOne
need live any longer subject to a pow
er that strangles the good and pure
desires-for He is able to save TO the
uttermOst.
He is able to save 20 the uttermOst
OF your distress. No circumstance OF
poverty. of bereavement. Of suffering,
no. anything under the sun. can form
a combination so great and powerful
as TO nulify His ability TO relieve and
comfort and bless those who put their
trust in Him To the uttermOst. This
means there is ne limit or stress, or
burden. or time, which can in any way
stop His ear. or close His heart. or
shorten His arm, in the utJermost re-
demption of His children.
ITO the uttermost Of temptation.
Why should You fear that temptation
should come and Oyerwhelm YOU.
That some day YOU Will be snatched
from His care and protection. That
some day the old influence Will
threaten your moral life. Listen. the
sin has not been conceived that has
power to overcome the man or the
woman who has come 20 God through
Jesus Christ. and with a calm steady
reliance upon His ability, His com
passion ana His pTomise-remain
intact in their integrity and con-
fidence."
