EARTHEN VESSEL
Rev. A. H. Davis Says MARRIED
and Sin Stained Bodies
Can be Repaired.

Men were compared TO earthen
vessels by Rev. Henry l.. Davis IN his
sermon at the First NJ r.. church
in which he showed how easy these
vessels could be marred and broken
through earthly contact and then
how easy they could be re-made by
,he aid OF Christ.
There was "a good attendance at the
meeting which was featured by two
solos sung by Walter Kamaiopili.
one song was i'm Hawaiian accom-
panied by the native instrument. the
Eucalaya. while the other was sung
i'm English. Rev. Davis directed the
musical program previous to the ser
mon.
I'VE can't redeem ourselves. de-
cIared Rev. Davis during his sermon.
we are too feeble and have not the
power 10 save ourselves. Christ is
our only hope for although we may
draw away from many Of our sins
We are unable 10 fully redeem our
selves There is danger in the belief
that there are other ways of being
saved than through Christ. God is
the only way through which the sin
married and damaged vessel can be
refashioned and brought to saliva
ton.
Through Christ a man can be
utterly transformed. You have
probably seen instances Of this. -
Rev. Davis then went on TO tell Of
a 17-year-old girl who came 10 meet
ings similar TO the ones being con-
Quoted now while he was Preaching
i'm Valparaiso. The girl he said was
pretty and upon inquiry he learned
that she was an inmate of a ques-
tionabie house Several efforts were
made to get her out of the house
and only through threat Of the law
was the girl brought from the house
Of sin. She was converted and sent
away 10 school Within a period OF
four months the pastor declared that
the girl was transformed so as 20 be
almost unrecOgnizable. She has
since been married and is a model
Christian.
People cannot escape sin except
through the help of Christ asserted
the minister as he related the story
of how a South Bend business man
came to him two months ago asking
that he help him stop drinking
Rev Davis said he pointed out that
Christ was the best means Of saHa-
ton and prayed for the man., Al
though the man did not give his
heart TO God he stopped drinking
and has been living a straight life
and taking an active part in the
church 10 which he attends.

Rev. Freshley based his sermon
on the text, And the Lord God call
ed unto Adam and said unto him.

when God heard of Adams fall He
came down into the garden of Eden
seeking Adam. his lost child.

causes Him to search for men who

Adam should have been looking
for God. Instead of God searching
for Adam. The latter was hiding
and ever since his day man has been
hiding when he sins. The excuses
men make for not becoming Chris
tians are but bushes behind which
they hide from God.
There are hundreds Of people
here in South Bend who say that
they will not join the church be-
cause they would stumble over the
hypocrites there. ! want to tell you
tonight that you can't stumble over
anything unless you are going back

is ahead Of you. Therefore, these

direction or else the hypocrites-

how many of those of the first class

The public life OF Jesus was
marked at all its important points
by prayer. He prayed from the first
sight we have OF Him. at His bap-
tism. to the last word He uttered on
His cross.
He showed how prayer was more
than a cry of want or a mere ex-
preston Of desire. 1t is often a
discipline. an uplifting. an inbreath-
ing of the air OF heaven, which pro-

Jesus is the door by which mar

enters. Man cannot enter the king

said. 4 am the way and the truth

unto the Father is the way into the

Acceptance of Jesus as the Sa-
viour makes him the door. Jesus
came into the world and lived and
died that He might be the Saviour OF

ion Jesus as the Son of God. II also
involves belief in Him as the sac

and as the only mediator by which

DR.. Littrell defined the various

analogy between them and spiritual

Littrell began. there is induratiOn
or hardening Of the heart. Another
is caused by men eating certain
kinds Of food doctors tell us. and
the heart will begin 20 waste away.
This is called atrophy We harden
our hearts against God by sin. and
nothing can soften them but the
grace Of God We likewise feed on
the things of the world, causing
spiritual atrophy
"A third possible physical effect is
the opposite--that Of hypertrophy.
or enlargement Of the heart. When
we endeavOr to enlarge our hearts
so as 10 take in every non-sensible
thing save Cod, we are mourning
this danger. People want to he in

preacher that goes out. I was read
ing in the paper the other day of a
society woman who prepared a spe-
cial menu for her pet poodle This
is why our hearts are failing. I'm
actually afraid of women who run
around with dogs.
Still another physical ailment is
that Of aneurism Of the heart or a
dilation or rupture of the ventricles
of the heart. and yet another form
is commonly known as fatty de-
generation. People crowd the'

SAUL WAS GIVEN
REWARD FOR STEP
Rev. C. A. LippinCOtt Tells of
Conversion and Sincerity
of st. Paul.

saul served with the greatest suf-
fering. Yet. ne got his reward. His
reward was that he was redeemed
and that he redeemed hundreds and
thousands of others and the redemp-
ton has been going on and on
through all these Christian centuries.
How maay stars are there in Saul's
crown tonight?"
Thus did Rev. c. A. Lippincott,
pastor OF the First PRESBYTERIAN
church. last night tell of the CONVEX
sion and true piety and sincerity of
st. Paul using him as a striking ex-
ample Of a man who was redeemed
and redeemed others.
st. Paul is always trying to ex-
plain his conversion. He never
ceased to wonder at it." said Rev.
Lippincott.
Il haven't any doubt that Saul
was one Of the most scOrned men in
Palestine because of the step he had
taken. Yet, a great many followed
him TO God and His disciples, be-
cause he bad been converted. The
very fact that he was converted gave
him encouragement to seek others
who had believed as he did"
Rev. Lippincott then told of how
Saul had always styled himself. the
chief of all sinners" and told of the
sincerity of the man in making the
statement.
IF you want tn find a man who
knows sin. who knows the power of
sin. the iniquity of sin, find one who
is struggling against it and who is
overcoming it and he will tell YOU
how far he is from the great white
life Of God.
Neither you nor I have the right
to say of the man on the street. he
can't be reached No, YOU or / can
not reach him. but Jesus Christ can.
The trouble is that we are trying to
reach others without first letting
God reach us.
Now. Saul served with the great
est suffering. Yet, he got his re-
ward. His reward was that he was
redeemed and that he redeemed
hundreds and thousands Of others
and the redemption has been going
on through all these Christian cen
turtles. How many stars are there
i'm Saurs crown tonight?
Heaven isn't the place for iso-
lated individuals who have escaped
somehow. II is a place of love.
friendship and JOY, the JOY of the
redeemed. How many stars will
there be in your CROWN
