fishes the following summary of his
sermons from the beginning of the
meetings:
Sunday Morning
Subject: "Jacob Of Israel"
Text. Geneses 1926. I will not let
thee 20, except thou bless me-"
During Jacobs first night away
from home, he received what every
young person needs as foundation
of life, the vision of God at Bethel, and
as a result of that vision he entered
into the covenant which became the
foundation of his future business
prosperity. At the very beginning he
learned that he had to deal with God
as with Esau, and that he could not
run away from God. In the Peneial
experience, twenty years later, he
he learned that the supreme thing of
life for every individual is to get rid
of his sinful nature that brings all his
trouble and to receive the new nature
which makes him a prince of God. No
one. need wait for this experience
Confession, whole hearted surrender
and clinging faith will bring it to
any one nowy ).
- Sunday Evening.
Subject: "Self Examination"
Text, 2 Corinthians 1885. EXAM
inc yourselves, whether We be in the
faith; prove your own selves. Know
you not your own selves, how that
Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be
rerrobates."
The first test for each one to put to
himself is whether he ever got into
the Kingdom, but it is more important
to know that you are in. This maybe
determined by applying the following
tests ,lr,. ,5 5Fs: F:.
First. What is your attitude to-
wards sin? Do you loathe 1t in your
self, in others and In the world and are
you pledged to uncompromtsing and
unremitting warefare against it in ev-
cry form and in all life until righteous
ness shall completely triumph?
q Second. What is your attitude to-
ward salvation? Are you afraid Of be-
ing too pious, of becoming more reli-
gius than practical life would warrant,
JUDGING from the worldly standpoint?
Third. What is your attitude to-
wards the world program Of Jesus
Christ? For its accomplishment are
you saying, "Here am I, send me, Civ
ing yourself to the destruction Of the
kingdom Of evil and to. the establish
ment Of the kingdom Of God, until in
all the world there shall be Just one
one kingdom, and Jesus Christ its
king. 535r 9TH VI :Il
+ The bank or house that cannot
prove It's solyency is out. Of business.
IN q crisis the weak fail, Only the
strong stand. We must accumulate
enough spiritual resources to tide US
over times Of spiritual depression for
if we have the resources we shall
never be overcome by the tide OF evil.
