ARTISTS IDEA Of
DEVIL ALL WRONG
S. o. S. Call is Sent Out Now
to All Christians in
South Bend.

God had tull sway In HIS DAY,
Bryan wasn't living" said Rev. A.
Thomas in his sermon at the First
Brethren church Sunday night.
When he said to Saul. Go and Stay
those anarchists Saul did it. SAIL
called in 21.OOO men and they all
came That is preparedness"
Rev Thomas talked on The ;. o..
: Call" taking his text from the
fifth chapter of Paul 20 the These
lOnians. "Quencn not the Spirit.
In his talk he showed that in this
chapter Paul gave two warnings, not
To quench the Spirit and not to
grieve the Spirit
THE =. .. s. is a signal Of dan
ger" said Rev. Thomas When the
I.usitania was sinking they sent out
an S. .. :. call. The message is be-
ing sent out tonight. IL comes from
Paul. This chapter of Paul is for
/ the believers, not for the sinners.
He sent out the call OF danger to
those who we're walking in the light.
I'VE Mean Jesus"
When we speak OF the Spirit VS.
generally mean Jesus. We generally
say that Jesus lived 33 years. But
Jesus has lived for eternity. He
lived SO years in this life. Jesus said,
4 go. the spirit comes. The Spirit S
work was to complete the work OF
Jesus. He was born on Pentecost.
Jesus came as child, but the Spirit
came as a rushing wind. His work
was 70 organize the believers.
Jesus is the head of the church,
the Spirit is the body out of the
members of this or any other church
the Spirit is sitting those who are
good and some day. these people
will be united with Jesus, the head
of the church. on that day there is
going to be a great wedding.
What responsibility we have
when we put our names on a church
rCll; what a responsibility we have
wher We enroll under Jesus Christ!
You who think it's a joke, wouldn't
be in your boots 10 minutes. Quit
pretending.
There is a distinction between
grieving and quenching the Spirit
Continual sin grieves the Holy Spirit.
You must have the Spirit before you
can quench il. BY quenching the
Spirit, / mean not losing connection
with God. We do not want more
Spirit of God We want the Spirit
to have more Of us. If you want to
uuench the Spirit, be a coward, be
timid.
/ Devil Not Ugly.
do you think the devil is an
ugly looking thing as he was pictu-
/ ed in a cartoon. l don't. l think ne
is much better looking than lot of
US. The devil is clever. He is a fas-
Cinating fellow If ne were not. ne
would not have as large a following
as he has. He works in different
ways He says TO us. Join the church
that will be enough 1t isn't enough.
saul went out to Stay the anar-
chists as God told him. But saul
was a back-slider He wanted to
give the Lord that which was worth
/ nothing and keep the rest for him

( ont q kingdom. but We cannot live
without God The same thing hap
Lens today. We have a nickel for Il
