GOSPEL MEETINGS

FRIDAY evening Evangelist Grant
Warren Hosford spoke on the subject
"The Great Controversy Between
Christ And Satan" Taking up Rev.
IL he showed that God has always
had true church. This was SYM
bolized by the Women. He said in
part woman in prophesy represents
the Church, Jer. 6:2. A pure woman
means pure church and a corrupt
woman a corrupt church. God has
had true church in every age of
the world, and they have always
been prosecuted. God will have a
true church in the last days which
Satan will make a supreme effort to
destroy. A Christian doesn't need to
worry when Satan is on his track,
but when the Christian gets on
Satan's track he is in a dangerous
position.
On Saturday evening Pastor Ice
lectured on the important question,
care Dead Men Alive" Among
other things he said, "The popular
theory held by the majority of the
Christian world today is that per-
son goes Immediately to heaven or
hell when they die has no foundation
in the bible. That little verse writ
ten some time ago is not true "Under
this sod, beneath these trees; lieth
the body of Solomon Peas. Peas is
not here but only his soul, his soul
is shelled out and went up to God"
According to Job 1913 for Job
says the grave is his home, not
heaven or hell but just two by six
f, lot, until Jesus comes to resurrect
the righteous.
When God created man. he did not
make him immortal, but. on the con-
trary, God is the only one that has
immortality. l tim 6:15,16 and Christ
came to bring Immortality to light
Through the Gospel while man is to
obtain it by patience continues in
well doing. 2 tim ITO. Rom 81.
Death as set forth in the scriptures
! is only sleep in which a person lies
down and it only seems a moment
until the resurrection. Jno 11:11-14.
The bible doctrine of death is one of
the most beautiful doctrines set forth
in its sacred pages. Wouldn't it be
dreadful thing if wicked man
died and was sent to hell and tortur-
ed thousand or two years and the
judgment would then set on his case
and discover that he aught to be in
heaven instead of hell? God don't
do things that way.
On Sunday evening a large crowd
gathered to hear the discourse on the
subject. "Hell, Where is it," TAX
ing the straight word of the living
God Mr.. Ice showed that the modern
idea of He'll is one of the greatest
disparagments upon Gods name that
could be possible. Heaven wouldn't
be much heaven to mother who
could look over into hell and see the
flames torturing her loved ones.
Neither would she enjoy looking upon
the earth and seeing her wayword
son murderer or a thief. Gods
way is best, he puts them all in the
grave where they know nothing.
Eccl. 9:5-6-10 Job 14:12-20. "The
Wages of Sin is Death" and "'The
Soul that Sinneth it Shall from.
6:23 exc 1874. This is the second
death and taken place when all Of
the wicked surround the city of God,
the Holy City, and fire comes down
out of Heaven and destroys them all
Rev. 20. This fire destroys them
forever, it burns them up and they
shall be dust under the feet of the
righteous. Malachi 4:1-3 and they
shall never again come into mind.
Obadiah Is. The subject for Thurs
day was "The Judgment" and for Fri
day evening "The Standard of the
Judgment"
