JESUS CAN SAVE ALL
is EyASGELIsr's MESSAGE


The second week of the special reli- |
gious services at Trinity Methodist Ep.s-
copal church opened Monday evening |
with large sized congregation. Elmer |
G.. Wilson Smith arrived back in Nor
wich from Bosto. late Monday, in time |
to lead the singing for the evening SER
vice There was cutie large sized choir
under Mr.. Smiths leadership.
Chaplain Kernahan smoke on the
theme, Jesus. the Saviour of ALL He
used in his sermon various selections
from the fifth chapter of st. Mark. In
rather unique and original way the
| chaplain expounded the scriptures He
| said these scripture selections proved
that Jesus had power to be saviour Of
man, woman and child.
| In part the chaplain. spoke as follows
| De think of God our God and We
name ourselves His. servants. We know
He is anxious, yes, weeping, to save
men and women and boys and girls We
| too, are hungering and thirsting for the
| souls of our fellows. This being true
it seems that we would be very anxious
for an opportunity to impress people for
Jesus. We are anxious for an oppor-
tunity but do we act Just when we
should? Do We throw all our hearts
or do we say this Is not quite the op-
portunity and by taking this attitude
lose our blessed service which would per-
haps garner a soul for Jesus?
My. friends as We talk with God and
as we resolve TO DO y cording to His
dictates. let US not procrastinat1 Let
US not start the hellish work of break
ing a mothers heart, casting noble
father into the dark cloud of disgrace,
and finally throwing our soul into per-
dition.
I want to speak about three people
that Jesus saved that re may yet a
definite realization of His saving pover.
These three people and their salvation

Marks gospel The first is the man

man only spoke to Jesus and immediate

Into God-fearing man; from an agon-
izing beast into joyous man from q
E wounded devil into a purified Christian
from a lonely sufferer into an honored
respected and beloved man Of God. The
men were unable to save him, but just
one look from Chris. saved HIM Jesu:
