AT the tabernacle on Saturday night
Or. Lyon spoke on "The Battle Of a
Soul" The text was Romans 7:22-25:
The Evening Sermon
For ! delight in the law Of God af-
ter the inward man. So then with the
mind / myself serve the law of God;
but with flesh the law of SIM
scripture which Billy" Sunday weaves
his sermon on "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"
quoting frequently from the characters
portrayed in that famous book of Rob
crt Louis Stevenson on the dual person
alities of man.
DR.. Lyon depicted the battle of
the soul with Paul, not citing it as an
isolated case but showing it as a counter
part in the life of every individual. In
referring TO Stevenson's book the evan
gclist said that the character DR.. Jekyll
is delnoated as a man of excellent parts,
of intellectual eminence, culture and re-
iinement, living with but one aim to
make other lives happier where ON the
other hand Mr. Hyde is shown TO be de-
graded and vicious, with nothing too
vile or devilish fOr him TO conceive and
carry out.
He carried the illustration further tc
show that when DR.. Jekyll is around, Mr.
Hyde is missing and when Mr. Hyde is
present, DIR. Jekyll is nowhere TO be
found. Also that the appearance of DR.
Jekyll becomes less. frequent until he
finally disappears and Mr.. Hyde is al.
( way at hand
The illustration was cited to show the
I grip which sin can secure and hold when
! it runs rampant throughout the life of a
/ man.
Dr. Lyon pointed out the three es-
pecial forms that the antagonist as
sumes in his battle against higher life
In the Scripture they are described as
the lust of the flesh, the lust of the ey,
and the pride of life. He emphasized
the first by showing the temptations o
Christ in the Wilderness and how he re
iccted the offerings Of Satan which wor,
rendered for the satisfaction of physiea
appctites. These same temptations arr
prevalent today in the form of sex, o
food and of drink and if allowed TO mas
Ter the man will bring about havoc anC
disaster.
The lust of the eye was portrayed as
the craving for material possessions
"Avarice and covetousness are among
the damning sins of our day." the evan
gelist stated in this connection.
/ The pride of life was shown as the
lust for power and the unfortunate part
of this adversary was cited in that it is
not thoroughly regarded as an enemy.
In concluding his sermon the evange-
list said: How are we TO triumph over
the battle of the soul and rise from the
lower naturel We turn to good resolu-
tions, we find them unavailing. Time
after time we have said we will turn
over a new leaf, we will do better, and
then in the hour of temptation and
weakness we win suddenly awake to the
fact that we have miserably failed
we seek help from good surround
ings. We find that in some respects the
right kind of environment is a valuable
aid but still the battle goes on within
the soul. We hope that through educa
ton, through culture, the mastery can be
obtained We find that culture can
bring to us the best that has ever been
said or written but how to solve this
great problem of life culture is usually
utterly Ineffective. Then we oxclaim
with the Apostle Peter, as he stretched
out his hands toward our Lord Jesus
To whom have we to 90 but TO Thee
Thou holdest the words of eternal life
1t is not matter of choice betweeI
n good or better, il is a choice betwecI
something or nothing. IL is only through
Jesus Christ that the victory can be at
tanned. lie alone can bridge the gul
between the real and the IDEAL, TO infusl
into life a vital dynamic. TO bring tn
man from what he is to what he ough
20 be-.
He gives us hope by assuring us O
forgiveness of sins lie inspires in n
new hopes. new ideals and new inccn
d tivrs lie has changed religion from
restraint TO an incentive. He has mad
godlincss not merely a duty but an in
centive. Above all lie gives to the so,
! a new vision Of life. IL is the cxpulsiN
power of new affection"
In presenting an invitation, the evan
gclist said: 1T j. tles power Of Jesr
] Christ in your life that you need I
] transform your nature. You need Hi
not only for the world beyond, but fC
= now You need Him tonight. Unb'
! your hearts door, lift the latch and bi
the heavenly Guest a royal welcome an
, then You will find peace and power an
; victory"
