BASIS Of FAITH,
MINISTER TOPIC
Rev. Gardiner Discusses Cues
ton, "UpOn What Do We
Rest Our Faith?"

Upon What To We Rest our
Faith" was the question discussed
before the congregation at 81. Paurs
Methodist Episcopal church yester-
day morning by Rev. James L..
Gardiner.
We live" said Dr. Gardiner lin
IA age OF investigation and research
--an age Of the microscope. spectre
scope and telescope 10 is a scienti-
tic age The spirit has been carried
20 the study Of the Bible The lower
critic has come 20 the Biule and ex-
amined the text of the Word Of
God. The higher critic has question
ed the authenticity Of this book and
that bool, of Holy Scripture.
1T is an age Of intellectual and
theological unrest. Men and women
seeing this doctrine and that doc
trine of their religion questioned or
rejected have asked Is there any
thing permanent in the Christian
faith Perplexed in mind and soul
they have wondered il after all the
Christian church was built upon a
rock that could not he blasted by
storms Of doubt ard criticism.
Let US therefore inquire, Upon
what do we as Christians build our
faith2 I answer in the first place
that We do not rest our faith on any
theological doctrine or creed. Many
ereeds change with the passing Of
the age Theology is your view and
my view Of God. Of Christ. of
heaven and hell. II is what we think
about spiritual things With the in
crease Of light these views change
and we ought 20 be thankful that
our Christian faith is not based on
any changing theological theory
Nor do we rest our authorship
OF any book of Holy Scripture. We
are not certain I'm regard 10 the au-
thorship Of n number of books in
the Bible but that does not make
the truth they contain any the less
"Cur faith does not rest on any
theory Of inspiration of the Bible
We believe that holy men spake as
they were moved by the Holy Ghost
hut / doubt if any other of inspira-
ton has yet been presented that
covers all the facts in the case.
Build on Jesus.
Upon what then do we build
our faith / answer. on Jesus
Christ Paul says he is the founda-
tiou-yea the corner stone of the
Christian church. I am glad TO bring
20 YOU this great fact--that Christ
is tire rock on which we build-and
this rock shall never change or fail
He is the same yesterday. today
and forever
1--WE rest our faith on Christ who
never changes in character. He is
forever the sinless one without spot
or blemish. No fault can be found
I'm Him He never changes in His
teaching. His words are more per-
manent than the rock of Gibralter.

"Heart Fixed on
God, Match for
World or Devil

There is no power on earth or
in hell that can destroy the soul of
a man whose heart is fixed on Cod
declared Capt. Nehemiah Brookes
in his Sunday evening sermon at
the Salvation Army hall
"A heart fixed on God and estab-
lished in grace is more than a match
for both the world and the devil.
Fiery tests and trials do not stop
or daunt the spirit of prayer of
those who do right and have a
steadfast purpose TO serve God.
Moreover, there is no weapon
made by man, or ever will there be.
that can beat down Gods righteous
ness or prevent the onward march
of His people. Daniel. when taken
from Jerusalem into captivity 10
Babylon and conspired against by
the prince in idolatrious decree, did
not finch from his fixed purpose 10
serve the true and living God. No
threats by the wicked plotters dis
turbed his confidence and trust in
the Lord sor prevented his daily
prayer
1T is characters such as his. u
Capt. Brookes concluded. that are
i'm great need i'm this day and age
characters like unto that Of Dan
iel prepared 10 stand alone for God
and right for life or death for Gods
righteousness will never fail though

REV. KOCH NAMES POINTS
OF CONTACT WITH CHURCH

I'm an interesting sermon az st.
Andrews church Sunday afternoon.
the Rev w. Koch, a visiting pastor
from Grand Rapids, made it clear
20 a congregation of some 500 peO-
pie that there were four main points
connected with the Christian and his
church
The Christian should esteem and
love his church" he said. Just as
the Israelite loved and esteemed
Jerusalem and the temple; he
should make his highest choice in
life divine service; he should be-
seech the grace of his church, and
last of all ne should praise his
church"
Rev. Koch spoke in place of
Bishop 5. 2. Spreng, d. D., who was
unable to fill the pulpit because of
another engagement.
Both Evangelical churches and the
one i'm NIishawaka were represented
at Rev. KOch's sermon.

BRIDGE DIFFICULTIES SETTLED
Commissioners Save 5000 and a
Possible Lawsuit

The county commissioners and
Representatives of the Canton Bridge
company split the difference in their
controversy over the settlement for
work done in Dickinson county
three years ago and the county was
saved $500 and a possible law
suit.
In addition to the $14,75S.5O
which was the bid of the Canton
company for building the Sand
Springs and Kyle bridges, a clause
in the contract provided for $16.75
per cubic yard for additional con-
crete, With two hundred extra
yards of concrete the extra cost
would have been something like
$3.50, less the $3.50 that the coun-
ty held the contract called for.
With a difference of $1,000 the
representatives of the bridge COM
pany agreed to knock off $3.50
which, with the interest that the
county owed made a total saving of
1890 for the county
The new county commissioners
Who were on the job along with the
old men were primarily responsible
for the settlement.
