the conclusion Of the fourth day in
the active revival campaign that start.
ed at Ninca park Sunday. Taking as
his text the parable of the husband
man and the laborers, Dr. Bulgin
cleared away the contentious of the
discontented workman showing the
power Of intent in governing the
workings Of divine providence.
That worldliness, ambition and
greed figure largely in the downfall
of man was the standpoint taken by
the revivalist in pointing out through /
the lesson Of the parable the effect
of purpose and motive in moving
Gods Justice Deathbed repentance
and the idea of sudden conversion as
"a fire escape to Heaven were at
tackled as opposed to the scriptural
teachings
In taking up the story of the hus-
bandman hiring workers for his vine
yard at all hours of the day, Dr. Bul
gin declared that the legal interpre-
tation Of the passage was most diff
ficult For years the Americans |
have accepted German rationalistic |
criticism on that part of the Bible !
5ut the word of the Teuton is no
longer taken in this respect. The |
whole world has taken up opposite
views to those held by the German
people with regard to justice and hui
and love America as she has |
never been loved before because of |
this opposition. Europe took up~ the |
issue against the Hun four years ago |
and America will put on the finish
ing touches We may see a reverse
motion in the wheel of Divine Provi-
dence but still the big wheel goes on
and it all pans out for the right the
speaker declared
Throwing aside the external eXpla-
nation of the laborer hire parable, |
and ikening the world to vineyard,
Rev Bulgin said In the settlement
with the vineyard workers, the Lord
met with grumblers. In all walks of
life and even in the church we have |
our chronic kickers Men grumble
if the church is small and grumble
if it is large enough so that a janitor
must be hired to clean it, They fuss
at the preacher for wearing a Prince
Albert coat and keeping his hands in
the hip pockets The church is made
up of imperfect folk but if we stop |
to kick at every dog we would sprain |
our ankles, get slobbers on our
clothes and run a doctors bill while
the cur ran on"
Man is in the market place of life |
and as an honest laborer should need
no coercion. The parable does not
picture repeated chances being given
to idlers by the husbandman. At the
close of a days labor the steward
