CROWDS 1T REVIVAL
 DESPITE THE RUSH 0F
 CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS


 Crowds at the Christian church are keeping up splendidly in spite or the The people of Phoenix are interested and are not to be kept away by being busy The revival has already been a great power in the city, as is shown by the fact that 90 people have uniteo with the Christian church in little over two weeks. A good crowd heard MT. Kellems last night as he preached a chart sermon on the change of heart. She sermon in brief is as follows:
 "The people with whom you wor- ship tonight have been accused of not believing in a change of heart. This Is untrue. If your heart is wrong, 1t must be changed. No man can see | God unless his heart is pure. Goa knows the heart of man. Man look 1 eth upon the outward appearance, pul | God Iooketh upon the heart.
 l "It might be well to see what the heart is and what constitutes a change of heart. Sometimes we get in the habit of using cant phrases ana do not know what they mean. What prooa. had a change of heart? The Bible IS | the textbook and the authority on this subject. What does it say?
 What then is the scriptural heart? wh4n we know this, perhaps we can find how it is changed. We read l (Matt. 9:D, Wherefore think ye evil l in your heartsr Also that God is | quick to discern the thoughts and | intents of the heart Where do we l'think in the physical heart or in the brain? In the brain, of course Again l we read: Why reason ye these things in your heart?' We reason in the brain Any child knows that. We also l find that we understand with the | heart. Lest haply they should per | ceive with their eyes. and hear with hearts. and should turn again and should heal them. (Matt- 13:16o | Again. we believe with the scripturaI heart. If thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord and shalt believe | with thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation CRom. 10:9,10.) We find from these conclusions that whatever else the heart is, it is the seat of the intellect. We think with the heart, reason with the heart, understand and believe in the heart. As far as the definition goes. the scriptural heart is part of the brain.
 However, the scriptural heart is not the intellect alone. It is more than this. We do not believe in a head re- ligion. A little intellect in our re- igfon. however. is very necessary. The scriptural heart is the seat of our af- fectfons or emotions. We must love the Lord with all our heart. For out of much aff1iction and anguish of heart, I wrote unto you with many tears. Our brain Is the seat of our emotions and affections.
 The scriptudal heart is the seat o1 our will Why purpose you in your
 
 and similar statements in the word show that the will is part of the spir- itual heart.
 They were pricked in their hearts shows that the conscience was troubled. They were cut to the heart 1 is another proof of conscience. This condemnation of shelf is a show ol conscience. The spiritual heart is the 1 seat of conscience.
 ITO sum up, we have found that the scriptural heart is the seat of ths intellect, the emotions, the will. ant the conscience. How, then, is the hear changed. Christ is preached to a sin ner. He hears the facts and is con vinced Intellectually that this is true Just this far his heart is changed. Hi intellect on the matter of Christ ant salvation has been changed. As h. l believes these facts and thinks ol these things. he cannot help but low Christ, who has done so much for him | AS tnlS love grows III ms heart, ne nd a great anguish in his soul, for h knows that he has not been doing a he should. His emotions are changes and a repentance is the result.
 When he has this great love 0 Christ in his heart he will want to d the will of Christ He determines t turn from his sin and live a better life He has good motives now, whicl shows that his will has been changed
 The commandments of Jesus ar carried out. Repent ye and be bap tized, every one of you, in the nam of Jesus Christ unto the remission Q your sins Promises are numerou that when we have obeyed the com = mands of Jesus we will bo free iron our past sins. This guilt often is take away by conscience obedience t Christ With the knowledge that w are no longer sinners. our conscienc Is cleared.
 'The heart is now entirely changed and we are new creatures in Chris How is this done? Facts of the gospt for the intellect, love of Christ t change the emotions. repentance an good resolution to change the will, an obedience to the commands to reIiev
 the conscience. A mans heart changed when he obeys the gospel"
