DR.. Chalmers.
And DR.. Chalmers read The Prac-
teal Views of Christianity" and that
led to his conversion. He wrote "The
Expulsive Power of a New Affection, :"
and he got the idea riding on stage
coach across the Rocky mountains
by the side of the driver. He noticed
when they came to a certain point on
the road that the driver whipped the
off lead mule furiously, although he
was pulling.
He said; "Why did you do that
That mule wasn't baking, he was
working hard"
The driver said: "That mule al
ways gets heightened at a certain
projection, and I'm afraid he'll plunge
and pull this coach down two thou
sand feet in the canyon, and if I hit
him good and hard just before we
get there, he forgets about it and goes
by"
DR.. Chalmers caught the idea OF
the expulsive power of a new affec-
ton
Get some good in and drive the
other out. That's what God is try.
ing to do for the world-that's just
the opposite of what the devil is
trying to do. You ought to put some
,, thing good into drive the bad out, and
God is putting something good in you
to drive the bad out. The devil wants
/ to put disease in and God wants tc
| drive it out; the devil wants to set
your house on fire. the Lord will pu.

you to have what I've got. I'm work

you the best there is. We all wan
the best. so we are looking for it anC
we can have it through Jesus Christ
Now there are five classes, an,
I they will touch every man and woman
