SHOWS evidence
|. OF Christianity
z. B. Larimore Continues Re-
vivaI Services at Church
Of Christ.

The revival conducted by T. b.
l-Larimore at the Church of Christ
Fourteenth street and Meridian
place northwest, continues, with
much interest manifested.
Mr.. Larimore. who has for many
years been prominent In evangelistic
work in the South and West. has
had under consideration this week
The Evidences Of Christianity
that il, proofs Of the existence Of
God. the divinity Of Christ and the
inspiration Of the Bible. In the in
vestigation Of this question, he said,
in substance:
There are, two theories of -crea.
ton. Christians believe God is Gre
ator. This issue cannot be evaded
by attributing creation Of the ma
terial universe to a great. original
First Cause; for either God or chance
is creator. When and where chance
creates and controls confusion and
chaos abound. The system and or.
der Of nature. from atom to universe,
proclaim the existence Of an allwise,
all-powerful creator.
The power and perfection of our
own organs denote a Creator. The
telescope reveals worlds millions Of
miles away. The eye-a wonderful
organ, made by chance, II God Is
not-sees them at a glance. A still
more wonderful power of man,
made by chance, If God is not, is
the mind Of man. and yet man,
with all his powers. cannot create.
He can dig down mountains. fill up
valleys, tunnel under the everlast.
ing hills. can navigate rivers. lakes
and seas; he can cultivate the soil,
gather his crops and enjoy the
fruits of his labors; but he cannot
create one grain of corn or wheat,
one blade of grass.
Mr.. Larimore told q fictitious
story Of a lecturers exhibiting to
an audience a wonderful chronom.
eter and claiming 1t was made by
chance: that a jeweler. in the midst
of the great Chicago fire, put into
a basket watches. Jewels. springs.
wheels. tools and various metals.
that by accident the basket received
terrific blow from a passing We
hicle, and its contents were so
knocked together as to form that
wonderful chronometer; hence that
chance was really the creator Of
that wonderful timekeeper.
OF course no sane mind would
accept such a statement. Reason
rejects it as utterly absurd: and
yet that assumption Is insignificant
as compared with the assumption
that Chance made the material
universe. that great Chronometer
that keeps time through the ages
without the slightest variation.
with never a stop. never a flaw
in its movement, moving on 50
accurately and regularly that an
astronomer by the exercise Of q
mind made by Chance-if God is
not-can calculate when an eclipse
of the sun will appear and where
1t will appear, fifty years in the
at exactly. the minute set for its
appearance.
Mr.. Larimore is still considering
the question of THE Evidences of
Christianity" preaching every eve.
ming at 7:45, except Saturday, and
at IL and 7:45 Sunday.
His sermons now are especially
interesting to Hebrews and their
friends. as he Is considering proph.
ecies regarding the descendants Of
Abraham which have been fulfilled
or are in process, Of fulfillment
now. saying many fine things of
Abraham and his posterity.
A special feature Of the revival
next week will be service at II
o'clock on national Thanksgiving
