Question Assigned for
Noon Shop Worship.

"A Christian is a man who sus-
tains a personal relation with Christ.
and who changes his center from him
self to Christ. We become Christians
through knowing Christ, and through
our love and trust In Him. We then
obey Him for we feel that He is able
to help and save u.s."
This was the answer Rev. e. e.
Davis made to the question, "Who Is
A Christian" at the noon shop meet
Ing before an audience of American
Seeding Machine employees.
Rev. Davis divided his theme into
three branches. He told of Christ, the
Amounted Of God, Christ. the Saviour,
and OF his mastery Of men.
Thess were the three fundamental
facts of Christ's living" said Rev.
Davis. His leadership of humanity
was shown by His appeal to follow

shown when He would have us saved
from the past, and His lordship by His
