 ON HOLY GHOST

AfOei IlOflQSflCt WdS in5 SuD- ject used by Evangelist May at the af- ternoon service at the Methodist church Tuesday, and his text was taken if from tine 23rd verse of the 57rn Psalm. He said, Providence is one<of Ithe greatest doctrines that rules over Jus. God puts an honor on good man, that he does not on the bad man, Law breakers are not called good men, you should love your neighbors as yourself Gods men keep the commandments, land make no compromise with the Iworld. He said a good man will die before he will do wrong, and that 1t lis worth good deal to be good man, the world is so wicked. This sermon
 was greatly enjoyed by good sized Istudience.
 At the night service, the text was taken from Matthew 3:11, mHe Shall Baptise You Wit.l the Holy Ghost, and lwifh .Eire.''
 Rev. Jonnie May, the evangelist said that the Tripersonality of the Godhead was believed in as Doctrine |of the Bible for 200 years after Pentecost. In the Second Century, Sabellius, presbyter attacked the trinity and said that the Father, Son land Holy Spirit were just different names given for one unipersonal God. The Second Heretic that attacked the Trinity was Arius, who thought I that the Father, created the Son, and the Holy Spirit and they held this subordinate place like children to an earthly father.
 After this error ran it's rounds, IMacedonius, tried to compromise by teaching that the Father and the Son were Divine, but that the Holy Spirit was created. This type of faith con- ltinued along till the 18th century, when lLaelus and Faustus Socinus taught the doctrine that there was no trinity 1 of persons, but it was all an influence. This error was so potent that the translators of King James Bible uses 1 the Neuter Gender pronoun it, when 1 they speak of the Holy Spirit. MT. May then said that there was l but one living and true God, eyer- lasting, without body or parts. The infinite maker and preserver of all things both visible and invisible and 1 in unity of this Godhead. There are three persons of one substance, power and eternity, the Father, the Son and 1 the Holy Spirit and that the Holy Spirit proceedeth from the Father and the Son and is one substance with the Father and the Son very and Eternal God.
 With reference to the Trinity MT. May said, first that there was an orthodox Trinity, in which the Father, lSon and Holy Spirit was equal, CO., equal and co-eternal. Second. Econo- l mic Trinity in which the Father creates through the Son and the Holy Spirit. Third. The redemptioI- al Trinity, in which the Father sends the Son to the world, then the Father and the Son sends the Spirit. With reference to the office work III re- demption the administration of the Father was from the Creation of the world to the Incarnation. That the Son was from the incarnation to Ills ascension That of the Spirit IS from his desent at Pentecost till the final return of our Lord The evangelist then proved from the Bible that the Holy Spirit was person, ref1ned, who could be greaved and striven against. He said the church was crippled without His baptism. MT. May asked the great audience in the language of Paul to the 12 disciples at Epheus who had been converted under the preaching of Apollo, possibly aHaye ye Received the Holy Spirit since ye Believed?" He then told the audience how to get Him and the great audience rushed forward to |clasp the evangelist's hand, to accept the Holy Ghost. The sermon was a powerful one and the effect was climatic in it's effect. Workers went to the gallery and there were many for prayers, and several additions to the church.
 A noon meeting at the Moline
 Lumber Go. mill was held from 11:20 to F o'clock today. The mill shut down earlier than usual in order that
 all employees might attend. A special
 song by Mrs. l.. l.. Adair and MT.
 Lifsey, Lord Is It r. was sung.
 Much interest was manifested.
 The Mems Prayer meeting at the
 store of R. P. Goodman, was attended
 by about 40, and was one of the most
 interesting meetings that has been
 held. Tomorrow morning, the Mems
 meeting will be held at the Farmers
 and and Merchants iM Bank
