came into the world to save sinners.
This Christ became his one and all.
He even went so far as to tell his
congregations: 81 determined not to
know anything amons you save
Jesus Christ and Him crucined."
Do you ask why such an astound-
ing change in this man? I answer:
Because God Himself taught him that
Christ and Christ alone. has changed
our loss In death into gain. When
you hear Paul exultantly exclaim.
% death. where Is thy sting, Q grave,
where is thy victory; but thanks be
TO God. which giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ" you
VIII understand that Paul firmly be-
lieVed that Christ, through His Suf-
fering and death, has fully satisfied
the demands of Gods justice. and
thus changed our temporal death.
which led to the fearful loss, dam
nation, Into gateway leading unto
the glorious gain of eternal life.
My friend. do you want your death
to be such gain? You are going to
die. Every tick of the clock brings
death just that much closer. Do you
want your death to be a gain? Oh.
by Gods grace come to Him who
said: Il am the resurrection and the
life; he that believeth in me. though
he were dead, yet shall he live"

done all I know how to do: there is
nothing left but to pray" as though
prayer was the last resort. Prayer
Is the first and strongest weapon.
Through prayer by the humblest OF
Gods saints forces may be released
In the remotest parts OF the earth
that never could have been released.
But mere formalities will not an

hard crust of our natures must be
broken and upturned. The fountains
Of the great deep must be stirred.
Tho man who can find words to ex-
press the thoughts and emotions OF

very superfcially. Tor we know
not how to pray as we ought: but

nook where one is undisturbcd. This,
alas. is often most difficult. But We

DECLARES PUNISHMENT
OF WICKED is ETERNAL
Rev. W. E. Robertson Quotes
From Marks Writing in
Yesterdays Sermon.

Rev. w. L. Robertson. pastor of
Randolph Street Baptist Church, took
for his text last night Mark liz. 49,
1t Is better for thee 10 enter into
life MANNED, than having two hands
TO so into hell. Into the Are thSt
never shall be quenched." Taking
for his subject: lis the punishment
part:
Other verses Of this chapter agree
with the one chosen for the text in
teaching that punishment Is unend-
ing. The Savior proceeds TO say. In
speaking OF the future place OF the
Wick ed Where the worm dieth not.
and the FIRE is not Quenched to
he cast into he'll. into the Are thai
never shall be queuched.' This same
idea is repeated and thus emphasized
six times in six consecutive verses.
and yet there are those who claim
that the Savior is almost client. on
this question. 1t is recorded in John
ill., So that He that believeth not the
Son :. the wrath OF God abidelh on
him. The expression. 'abideth on
him. suggesting penalty without
end.
The three principal objections ad-
vanced against the idea of eternal
punishment, are as follows:
81. That suffering is necessarily de-
structiye, so that the sufferer must
finally cease to exist. and therefore
punishment cannot be eternal. But
the word destroy is not an abso-
lutte term; nothing can be destroyed
absolutely that is annihilated. The
word means to tear down, demolish,
pull to pieces. ruin You can tear
down house. but you do not ami
hilate the material of which the
house Is built. Now. il this is true
OF material things. how much more
so of spiritual things? OF man. who
is created in the image of God. and
who Is therefore immortal. eternal?
The Bible nowhere teaches that the
wicked shall be annihilated. There is
striking expression in Mark tx 40,
where the Savior apparently speak
ing OF the lost. says: Everyone shall
be sailed with fire. That is. salt in
the Jewish sacrifice was the symbol
of the perpetuity of Gods covenant
OF the peace and happiness of the
righteous. and the suffering of the
wicked. This unquenchable fire will
In sense act like salt In preserving
lin suffering), rather than destroy
absolutely. or annihilate, and It
should be remembered that God, who
caused to exist, can keep in existence.
2. 1T is also suggested that eternal
punishment Is inconsistent with tho
goodness OF God. We should bear in
mind that God knows better what is
consistent with His goodness than
we do Our duty Is to ascertain as
nearly as we can what God says. IL
His Word teaches this doctrine, as II
d~es. then we should believe II.
whether II conforms to our idea OF
His goodness or not.
80. In the third place 1t Is said that
eternal punishment IS. Inconsistent
with the justice OF cd. that it'would
be unjust To punish all alike. This
God does not do. The Rible clearly
teaches that there are degrees OF
punishment"

EVOLUT|ON|sTs LEAVE
SPIRIT OUT Of THEORY
Rev. W. f. Gibson Says He
Believes What God Says
About Creation Of Man.

Quoting from Genesis I. IS. 81:
And God said. let us make man in
our image. after our likeness E.
And God created man In His own
image. In the image of God created
He him. male and female created He
them. Rev. w. e. Gibson. pastor Of
Broadus Memorial Baptist Church.
yesterday supported william Jen-
nings Bryan in his fight against tho
evolution idea.
Rev. Gibson said. In part:
II say we could even admit that
man in his physical frame was de-
Veloped from lower species and not
suHer any paralysis to our faith. or
any dimness to our hope Of glori-
Gus Immortality. But am not ready
TO admit: there is no reason why we
should admit 1t. and good reasons
why We should not because this in
spired Word of God presents his Gre
alton as a special and Individual act
Here Is the direct statement Of
the Scriptures:
Jehovah God formed man of the
dust OF the ground. and breathed into
his nostrils the breath Of life: and
man became living SOUL Talk
about man being developed from n
monkey or lower animal; ], don't
believe any such thing. / believe
what God said about IL. He was
there when man was mado, and He
knows how He made him; and as saws
the Scripture: He made known His
way unto Moses He told Moses how
II was. done, and Moses Is here tell
ing us. He tells us God did it d.
rect. that he made man out OF the
dust. and hreathed into his nostrils
the breath OF life, and man became
n living soul"
In the course OF his sermon. Rev.
AIR. Gibson said that the athelstic
tvolutionist leaves God out of Gre
alton. To him matter Is eternal, to
MIN some material substance has al
ways existed. An starting from this
ne has built up n wonderful theory
OF development. In some way not
as yet explained. the radical evolu-
tionists hold that in the midst of ma
terial substances OF life germ came
into being and through processes of
development. attended by variations,
anected by hereditary and deter
mined largely by the survival of the
htsest In tho struggle for existence,
al tho various forms and species of
living things have come into exis-
tence. Man Is the Anal product OF
this evolutionary process, and hts
last known ancestral species is the
monkey. ~
