The Representative Assembly
n q, The class was made up of
msn women and children. The men
,Rou did not leave. the church-going to
tbs women. Neither We're the children
lsst at home with nurses on 10 play

An Appreciative Assembly ". %.
rbair ears were attentive from morn
inc to midday. So eager were they
m know Gods Word that they did
nat get tired although the lesson
lasted for FIVE or six hours. There, was
no pulling of watches in that class.
Due Reverence Shown Gods
Word wv. 4. 81. When Ezra opened
the Law all the people stood up This
thev did ont of respect for the holy
hook, The reason there is not proper
reverence for the Bible is that people
are not taught to believe it is Gods

the Word Of God so plain that all, old
and young, can understand
lII, The Impressions Made wv. g.
49,
The effect of teaching Gods Word
is most important. In this case it was
very encouraging.
J. Conviction Of Sin w. 81. The Word
Of God brings conviction of sin facts
$50, 1t is quick and powerful (Heb.
4IZ) The way to get conviction Of
SIN is by teaching the Word of God,
lot by appealing to the emotions by
lelng death-bed stories. The. people
naa real cause for sorrOw--they were
III from God. They not only had be-
yape worldly and the rich were in
lef greed expressing the poor,
D4 they were perplexed through
lelr mixed marriages.
