God because they cannot understand the
mystery of His birth, and the mystery
OF the incarnation of His atonement.' =
But every day we place some dependence
ON material thing whose workings we do
not understand. When we eat we expect
the food to be used to nourish our bodies,
still we do not understand how 1T is done.
All we know is that it is done. There rs
more mystery in our dining room than
in the word OF Jesus Christ" he declared.
''How is it that a man who is converted
can drop the old things which he was
accustomed to do all his life?' The only
answer is in the text of the sermon, IF n
man he in Christ, he is a new creation
The regular preaching services OF the
day were not the only big attraction
the tabernacle. Prof. Classes meeting for
the young folks was as well attended as
the sermons He spoke to children on
kindness" and urged them never to
think of revenge.
