De GARMO MEETING
CLOSES SUNDAY NIGHT

! lie DC0dl lllO lIlCSlHiS dl lIlS
Calvary Baptist church has beer
growing in spiritual power each
night. Many are showing a deep
interest in their souls salvation
and confessions are made at prac-
tically every service.
The Rev. DeGarmo has been
preaching a series of sermons on
! John 3:14:15, for the last three
nights and will preach on this
passage of Scripture Saturday
night and Sunday night, making
! a total of five sermons.
This scripture as Moses lifted
up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the son of man be
lifted up; that whosoever believ-
eth in him should not perish but
have everlasting life is the great
est passage of scripture in the
Bible" declared the evangelist.
at contains every thing essen
tial to salvation. Just as the
Israelites realized they were bit
ten by the serpent and poisoned
so must men realize they are bit
ten and blighted by sin-lcst, be-
fore they can be saved. Then
as they looked to the brazen ser
pent which Moses lifted up they
were cured of the poison, SO are
sin-sicl, lost men saved when
they look to Jesus Christ who
was lifted up on the cross. All
men have sinned. All who do not
trust Jesus to save them, are lost
No matter how highly educated,
or refined, or cultured man
may be, he is lost without Jesus
Christ. Reformation, good works
! baptism or church membership
has no part in salvation. Jesus
alone saves. When a man trusts
Jesus to save him he is eternally
saved. For whatsoever believeth
in Him hath eternal life How
long is 'eternal?' This is simple to
any intelligent mind. No be-
lever can ever be lost. And it is
just as true that if you do not
trust Jesus to save you, you are
eternally lost. When you trust
Jesus to save you, you have a new
nature. Therefore if any man
be in Christ, he is new creature {:
old things are passed away; be-
hold, all things are become new.
1 Cor. IL. We serve him. then
because we love him." said the
evangelist.
The series of seromns of this
passage get better and better
each night and they are by far the
plainest and most powerful SER
mons he has preached. 1t is
difficult to see how anyone can
hear these plain gospel messages
and fail to understand the plan
of salvation of how to be saved.
The great secret of Rev De
Garmo's power is that he sticks
close to the scriptural text. He
proves every statement he makes
by the Bible; his logic is also I'M
answerable. He condemns sin
and worldliness in strong, cut
ting, occasional statements, but
he stays to his great theme, the
Bibles plan of salvation, and
makes this the great emphasis of
his teaching. Some church mem
bers are realizing themselves lost
and are confessing Christ, as we'll
as people out OF the church.
Miss Helen DeGarmo has won
the hearts of all by her sweet.

the deep emotions of the audience.
