SHOWS HOW love
DRAWS MAN. TO COD
Rev. C. A. Decker Says 1t Will
Above Anything Draw a Sin
ner to Righteousness.

If anything will draw a sinful
man TO God it is the exhibition of
His forgiving love" said Rev. c. A.
Decker, pastor of the First Baptist
church. in his sermon on sinners
in the Hands Of a Forgiving God.
delivered Sunday
Rev. Decker said in part:
Readers Of the sermons of the
best preachers in other days will re-
member the famous sermon by Jo-
nathan Edwards on Sinners in the
Hands Of an Angry God" This ser
mon is little heard of today, al
though IL made a great impression
for many years after Edwards time.
The reason for this is that there has
been a change of attitude toward
God since that day. We no longer
elaborate on the harsher phases OF
the ancient theology. Some think
we have gone too far i'm the other
direction. But while it is true that
there must be a stern side TO the ma
ture of God. il is probably also true
that most people are glad that the
emphasis has shifted 10 His attrib-
utes Of love and forgiveness.
Must Deal With God.
Man as sinner must have deal
ings with God We cannot escape
this if we are TO have a spiritual
conception Of our relation 10 the
universe. Nor do we want 20 es-
cape it, 1t is one of the gladdest
facts of our lives that we are ca
pable of holding converse with God.
Think what would happen if il could
be shown that we had nothing to
do with cod and He nothing to do
with us. IL would dry up the springs
Of hope and comfort. And we would
be living i'm an utterly desOlate
world barren of all the great mo-
tives for righteousness and achieve
ment.
But we do have dealings with
God and He is a God of forgiveness.
our God does not need TO be APP
peased. He is no oriental monarch
who waits To be won by gifts. God
is not interested in human sacri-
fees These things do not call forth
His forgiveness. 1t is His nature TO
do God is too great 10 nurse a
grudge against His children. II is
this side of Gods nature that brings
ms 10 Him. If anything will draw
a sinful man TO God il is the eXhi-
bition of His forgiving love. Threats
cannot bring men 70 Him. This has
been tried. There is something in
human nature that even the divine
wrath does not seem TO be able 10
overcome. But forgiveness can and
this is why such great stress is laid
upon il i'm the teaching of the
Book.

Rev. Enterline. but we can look
into its depths and get some
slimpses of the meaning Of sin.
The first thing that makes a

soul 20 God is the sense of shame.

seldom cries out 20 God except
when il Is in the depths Of sin and

The second depths Of the soul
is the need of love. Love is essen
