The sermon for last night follows
in parts:
THE Mind Of Christ.
Text: Corinthians 2:16. But
I've have the mind Of Christ
There has been a great deal OF
i interesting speculation IN regard to
what Christ would do if He would
come to our cities and towns. YFhat
would He do If He were to- become
mayor Of your city? Whatfw ou1d He
DO i he y. We're. to become goEernof
i of your state2 WhatewouIdsHedn do if
I He were to be elected senator oi
ngressman, or spresid dents Of ON
country? How many cities Wouli
want Him to be mayor? How#many
church members would vote for Hin,
| he We're candidate for mayoE4
How many church members would
vote for Him if He were . Candidate
Tor senator's or governor or congress
tWould do first, il sHeaWere mayor. or
governor or preside But 3 sknoJ
i that il the people had the mind NCtE
Christ. ittEWould settle al disputes
and hard feelings between labor and
lcapital 1t would settle every prob-
lem that is vexing the people todaF.
The employer would be just as faI+,5s
and the laborer would treat his ent-
Ip1oyert as he would want to oabes treat
ed. If we had the mind or Christ
the gap between the church and the
world would be healed So
shall speak OF some OF the fs4a
sues before us as viewed with 3 the
mind of Christ:
FirstW are to have the mind Of
Christ In regard to divfnity He was
Hconscious that He was divine He \
tclaimed to be God and He lived Ike
God. He5was a man as real as ifs 1tsss
were not God and He was God sass|

walton rests upon the fact that Christ
was God. II Christ gwere6notE God sMas
