GOD SEEKING SOULS
SAYS REV. STAMPER

From the very beginning OF the
revelation we find God to be seeking
Cod" said Rev. A. l.. Stamper, pastor
of the First Christian church. IN his
address at the Second Presbyterian
church Thursday night.
I'VE see Him seeking Adam and
Eve in the garden Of Eden. We see
Him seeking man in the revelation
of His own Son, the SAVIOUR Of man.
We have not only seeking God, but
we have a seeking Christ who sought
and found all sorts of men in all sorts
of conditions and circumstances.
Eve have not only a seeking God
and Saviour, but a saving God IN
Christ Jesus. He does not seek men to
condemn, but to save. This Saviour
is just as much of Saviour today as
ever. Upon the shoulders of the II
disciples he put the burden OF the
worlds salvation. What great res
possibility it was. What If they had
failed?
Saving the Lost
But they did not, and we are what
we are because of their unselfish sue
cess. Similarly Christ is commission
ing us Christians to seek and save
those that are lost. Are we doing
our part? Are we seeking and bring
ing others to Christ as did the dis
ciples? The sole aim of the church Is
that very thing, to save that which
is lost
If we fail in this, we fail in al
things. For this is the divine mis-
