REV. DR.. BULC|N
DEFENDS THE BIBLE
NOTED EVANGELIST DELIVERS
STRONG SERMON 10 A LARGE
CONGREGATION
(By Rev. Dean Hamilton)


wrlreup in The Star-Mirror tonight
clear that all the money we are ask
ing for is to pay for lumber, fuel
l1gnIs and other expenses. None OF II
comes TO me. We want to finish The
offerings for expenses Thursday
night" Dr.. Bulgin makes this talk
before the offering is taken. Prof
HARRIS sings tenderly, Believe in the
Gospel" Envelopes are given out fer
the thank offering Thanksgiving night
by which it is hoped to pay Ior the
great she'd and other expenses. The
offerings on the whole have been gen
erous and the committee is under no
STRAIN OF unusual anxiety. Heb. IL
ana 11:6 also Job 34:4 was the text.
There is a God,' God has spoken
and The Spirit of God made me and
breath of the, Almighty gave me
life"
DR.. Bulgin introduces his sermon by
pointing out the value OF the Apostles
creed. Divided it into philosophy, his
tory and didatical.
The lecture tonight is theological,
biblllogicai,~ anthropoIog1cal, soterlol-
oglcal, ana archaeological" said DR..
bulgIn and the audience smiled.
theology is the study OF God;
blbuogy is the study OF the Book, and
thropoIogy is the study OF man; So
terIoIogy is the doctrine OF a Saviour,
and eschatology is the science OF last
things" When the evangelist put his
ringer on the last button the former
darkness was dlspelled and the crowd
settled down tor the sermon.
Theology or why believe there is
a God, is the first division. The fool
mas tne--shOrtest creed extant, mo
God" God is too big to fully compre-
hend. Ii we could, he would not be
a God. If you say God is not, then
you must have been everywhere. You
must also know everything II you
MAKE that assertion tor he might be
near you and you could not otherwise
discern him. Nature declares God. Ma
lure IS not God. Nature is the FOOT
print OF God. That God is, is axiom
atlc. | am. l need not prove 1t.
Don't worship the foot print. The dis
coverer OF Neptune discarded three
lenses. They cost over twelve thou
sand EACH One has feather" and
another had carbon" If you want to
know God there must be no feather"
or carbon" of immortality. A proof
Of God lies in fact that only those who
come by his way can know him. l be-
lieve in God because have another
nature than physical and intellectual.
I believe in God because | am not
fool. All the contentious are backed
up by logic and illustration. God is
wisdom, love, holiness, power, truth
and justice.
The sermons second division is
or why | believe the Bible.
He must reveal himself. None but
In old. colOred Mama" in North Car
)llna dared to reply to Bob lngersol
when he lectured there. why, aunt1e,
you don't believe the Bible do you?"
Yes Idoes." "Why?" Cause it's
ust like God" The star led the sci
entists to Bethleham's manger and
Christ. All science properly under
stood leads to Christ. God must be
revealed someway to all. Hence the
book for he is not the God OF the
strong Reveals God to man and man
o self. Must be written SO as to
serve the advancing thought OF the
tges. All other books grow out OF
late. After he wrote the book he kill
ID the language. | believe the Book
because the Holy Spirit interperts 1t.
)nly my grandmother could unravel
he stocking for me. She made 1T.
Here DR.. Bulgin digresses to pay q
ribute to his dead mother and called
N a man back OF him to testify that
. Moscow man had called her by yile
pithet. The great audience is still
IS death. Only God the Holy Ghost
an reveal the Book to us. The Book
s mirror. Can get look at self.
/ picture gallery of faith, love, cour-
ge, etc. A Chinese heather scholar /
egan to translate the book and when
e finished in tears said, The one who
nade that, made me-"
The third division is anthrOpology,
+ why l believe God made man. Ask
our doubling professor, How much
# your theory is absolute science"
