Subject is bad Bargain
The subject tonight will be "a Bad
Bargain. - DR.. MacCallum preached
last night on THE Work and Power
Of the Holy Spirit" said the evan
gclist-'sNYhen Jesus left this world he
promised that this Holy and invinc-
ible person would enter the world to
contest against sin. And no doctrine
is more misunderstood. His work is
to convict men of sin" Carlisle said
The greatest sin is the lack of con-
sciousness OF sin" Telling of those
who consider themselves souctified
and who no J rTer commit sin. DR..
MacCalleum re-, rked: "The nearer
one comes to Jcs'rv and becomes like
him the more inn ret will he seem"
Jesus alone was Itiu to sanctify
himself. when you get near enough
to Jesus and like him all the world
will krow and recognize it and you will
not have to boast of your sanctifica-
ton" said the speaker. What tho
Holy spirit would do with us is to SO
hide the one saved that light may be
shed on Christ and SO he be glorified
and praised of men,
World Schemes Described
The speaker deserted certain world
schemes to save men and society.

without Christ will get you no where
and accomplish nothing. Christian
Science does perform 'cures, no one
denies that but not in the name of
Christ. Jesus plainly speaks of those
workers of miracles who do them not
said the speaker. when a skilful
in his name" Miracles are not past
doctor does his work and you pray
that his work heal your loved one
that is as much miracle as Jesus
ever performed"
Holy Spirit Grieves
The evangelist gave several striking
and historical instances of how the
Holy Spirit had led men in the past
and had put words in their mouths
and moved them to do certain things
for the good of the church and So
ciety. Then he said, "That same power
Is in the world working mighty. Let
us get ourselves into the grip of the
Holy Spirit and let Him control our
lives. There is no Bible, no Holy
Spirit, no hope in hell. so the Spirit
pleads with men here. The Holy |
Spirit is never angry. He is said to be |
'gFieved'' because love is rejected. |
One person in community" said the
speaker. "can so grieve the Holy |
Spirit that he cannot do any thing to |
save or convert the people" Tolstoy
said, THE Church IN Russia has lost
he sense Of the presence of Cod"
hence the chaos that exists there now
said the evangelist, THE meaning \
IF Tho word for Holy Spirit in Greek is
which means stand at the
side Oft Is thus that the Holy
spirit works with men. He stands at |
heir side to comfort and strengthen
hem in temptations"
