The Robesonian., 1918-06-27

With seven of the number of the
Russelite leaders in Jail the "Unfin-
ished Mystery" must be finished. Yet
there are many homes where the
catching worm of Russelism car be
found
In closing his sermon DR.. Mcdaniel
asked, "Why should anyone living in
a community like this be out of the
church? ?"
The Model Boy.
Sunday morning at the Sunday
school hour DR.. Mcdaniel made
most impressive talk on "The Model
Boy" Jesus Christ was the model
about whom the preacher talked. He
told simple story of the birth and
life of the Savior and urged the chill
dren to form good habits, declaring
that it is about as easy to form good
habits as bad ones. Jesus had the
habit of going to church. A man ne7-
er goes astray in the house of God
! Jesus was model boy in the fact
that he studied the Bible, in the eact
that He was obedient to his parents.
| Jesus father died when he was a
boy and he had to support his moth
er and four younger brothers. He
worked as a carpenter in order to do
this. The family lived from the sweat
of Jesus brow. Since that time labor
has been honorable DR.. Mcdaniel
told of visiting the shops where it is
said Jesus labored as carpenter while
on visit to the old country.
This same boy, Jesus, grew UP to
be our model in all things. He died
for US in order that we might be able
! to live like he lived.
After Dr. Mcdaniel had finished his
talk an opportunity was given for
non-C Christians to acknowledge their
desire to accept Christ by going for
ward and giving the preacher their
hand. A large number went forward
Salvation Begins With Thought.
DR.. Mcdaniel preached Sunday eve
ming from the 59th verse Of the 119th
Psalm. Il thought upon my ways, and
turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
! In beginning his sermon DR.. Nc
Daniel declared that salvation begins
with thought. AS man thinketh II
!; his heart SO is he,
i The preacher continued: The minds
of the people of the world are turned
toward the spiritual things as nevel
before. I have had men tell me that
!; religion is mystery. 1t is. Life is
mystery. All great things are 211ys
, teries. A man cannot tell why it l:
that the grass COW eats grows han
on her back and the grass that 4 goose
, eats grows feathers on her back. Ht
. cannot tell why part of the ration:
: he eats develops blood and the othel
part muscles. Still he continues tt
eat three meals day
! Some argue that after the war there
will only be one denomination. There
will be denominations after the wal
; just as there are denominations now
! Why worry about the Methodists, th'
: Baptists or Presbyterians. All thes'
!. believe in salvation through Jesus
l Christ. Denominations are like tn
| spokes in wheel that lead to the hub
: all are trying to lead to Heaven.
: An unsaved man is of no good t.
: the church. The church should be com
!. posed of saved people. If you build
perfect church, however, for thos
' critics who see so many imperfect
5 ions in the church, who would Jol1
it. The only perfect church is t..
4 church in glory.
! A Christian Always Follows the Flag
j It is easier to be critical than it
: to be correct. However, have no pa
: tience with an unconverted churc
n member. There is only one man in
community meaner than the hypo
