Mr.. Cory's sermon last evening was In
part as follows:
THE earth Is upside down. Jere-
miah, the old prophet, looked $500 years
ahead. and saw the present day condl-
ton. In Jeremiah 25th Chapter l6-16-
70. We find the prophet saying: FOR
thus saith the Lord God Of Israel unto
me, take the wine cup OF this fury al
my Hand. and cause all the nations, 10
whom I send thee, TO drink IL Ana
they shall drink. and be moved. and be
send among them. And all the kings OF
the north far and near, one with an
other. and all the Kingdoms of tho
world. which are upon the face Of the
earth. and king Of Shcschach shall
drink after them" Prophecy indicates
that we arc close to the end Of this age.
I do not mean the end Of the world. Do
not misunderstood me. I mean the end
of the gentle age. when the body or
Christ shall be completed and the dis
pensatIon Of Grace will end. Christ
will come and the church will be caught
IN in the air. Then the awful tribula-
ton will be upon the Garth. COOS love
will have left the earth. and man will
have TO depend upon himself.
Now. these verses describes what
has been going on for the past Tour
years. and what is going on now. LOOK
out upon the earth. across the water. at
Russia, Germany. Roumania. Poland and
Scrvia. Then come back home and look
Mt industrial conditions. that perplex
tho intellect Of our country from the
president on down. We have in tho
ms, dcnondcd too much on intellect, and
not enough on God. Tho people must
turn 10 God. through Jesus Christ to
adjust thcse conditions, and If VIC turn
TO God. He may spare us as nation,
little longer.
IT received letter from Governor
Cornwrll, who says the church has a
great responsibility resting upon her.
and hc says VIC will never settle the So
cfal. political and indus rial conditions
until we have the spirit Of Christ. The
great men of cur country realize this.
and can not FEC why they do NOT
preach It. am praying God that they
will quit playing politics along enough
to save the country.
Now for the revival in the church.
tina. IS, moro people turning to the
church than at any time in the history
Of the world. and We as church, must
wake VI. We must become spiritual
Churchs Opportunity.
The opportunity Of the church Is at
hand. God calls. Christ and the Holy
Shirt IL here 10 save. Will VIC hear
his call" Man must be saved. Look
at the Methodist church raising one
hundred and thirteen million dollars.
Wor cry Is now one million souls for
Jesus, and If the church works Is hard
for the million souls AS it did TO raise
tho sll3. O0n N0n dollars they will have
victory. May God bless the Methodist
church. How the Episcopal church has
walked up and wants TO raise the sixty
five millions to use for the Gospel OF
Ovr Lord Jesus Christ. and TO revive
i:sclf spiritually. Tho Baptist church
and all other churches. arc lining. up.
