REPENTANCE IS THEME
Z. OF EVANGELIST HOWARD
Many Hear Gifted Speaker Discuss
Most Important Subject Under
Big Tent Tuesday Evening.

Evangelist Howard in his sermon
Tuesday evening asked and answered
two main questions which were: ~
What is meant by repentance and (2)
When can we know we have truly ro-
pented? The prophets Of old and the
apostles preached repentance.
Sin has twO-fold nature. sins Of
transgression and sin Of Inheritance.
Jesus made possible q two-fold cure.
In the Bible we find many references
which speak OF this cure.
Justification by faith is q judicial
act in the mind Of God effected in the
mind OF a sinner when he truly re-
pents and believes.
There is a difference between sins
or actual transgressions and sin.
David said: Il acknowledge my trans
gressions and my sin is ever before
me-" and then he prayed blot out my
transgressions and create q clean
heart within me-" Prayer is not re-
pentence. Reformation or turning over
new leaf is not repentance. Repent
ence has with It n retraspection. a
looking back into ones life and medi-
tating on Gods godness; acknowl-
edgement also accompanies repent
ence. Some folks repent not because
Of unwillingness TO acknowledge their
wrong. Sometimes we should confess
not only to God but also to man and
make things right with him. Repent
ence is a godly sorrow for sin and
with It goes a willingness to undo the
things We have done which are wrong.
Have you truly repented?
Mrs. Cox will preach this evening.
