service for his honor and glory and
to be prepared for the life eternal.
Gods voice speaks in still, small
voice to Samuel. He thus spoke to
Elijah to strengthen and encourage
This voice came in the Garden of
Gefhsemanie to Christ to strensthe
and prepare him for the ordeal of
Calvary. Paul could never have
written the messages he did from
Roman prison if the voice of God
Rad not spoken to him. To the fear
stricken disciples, tossed upon the
waves of the Lake of Gallilee, Christ
speaks and fear vanishes The man
who by faith listens to Gods voice,
is strong, is fitted for every trial of
the soldier life. Rightly interpret
this voice of God; listen to its note
CT individual responsibility, head its
call to prayer, for this God is very
present help in time of trouble Bro.
Wears closing words to our colder
boys were full of tenderness and
earnestness breathing throughout
the prayer that they would all be
soldiers of the King of Glory

et ening message to his people was
~ he Plain Way of Salvation based
rpon Acts 20:2l,
Introductory thoughts We often
TRY to find more difficult way of
approach; yet the Scriptures are
So plain on this point. The plan of
salvation is So broad-unlimited In
its scope, taking in the unlearned
and the learned. The underlying
there which went as golden
sas the Holy Spirit and His work.
This is Gods messenger-His re-
vealer and comforter, influencing
Cur lives, revealing, interpreting and
inn, essing upn you the words you
hear from Gods book; giving new
inspiration, convincing in respect to
sin. The desire for repentance
when by the Holy Spirit ne Is con-
WINGED of his sinful nature, then ne
desires salvation There is marked
difference between knowldg and re-
uentance Cody sorrow comes from
changed attitude in regard to sin
producing repentance towards God
because you have sinned against God
ali sins you commit even against
neighbOr is against God. John
15:26; John 16: 13 shows US the
Savior revealed by the Holy Spirit :.
This message of good news led you
to Christ. There are three things we
must do: First, we must by faith ac-
cent him as Gods divine son; sec.
ond accept him as SaviOr-the Sa-
yior from sin and sins dominion-as
your personal Savior; third, we must
recognize in our faith and accept
him as Lord, Master and King. The
master of our lives, who can control
and amster every desire and impulse
of our nature. Exalt him as the
Lord of our lives; our spiritual King
to claim our hearts affections aud as
his subjects to do his will When
ooes the new birth take place!
VIXEN are we conscious of it? There
is no conscious OF it? There is no
cons caousness of the new birth until
il has taken place; this same good
spirit produces change in u.s.
Christ asks that obedience be the
next step and he asks that we do
five things: First, public an
nouncement Of our faith in Him; /;
: second, ffoer ourselves to the church
for membership, Acts 2:47; third
follow him into the baptismai wa,
: tcrs Romans SO; fourth, observe
the Lrd's Supper, 1st Cor. II; fifth,
workers together in fulfilling the
great commission given by Christ to
: his church TO spread the glad tidings
