Preaching from the twenty,second

Norris used as MS subject last night
at the Baptist church. THE Danger
Of Drifting" speaking OF the trinity
OF the flesh. the world and the
devil' as being the great enemies of
man TO draw him away from the
paths OF duty and service
The speaker said. I'VE often drift
into sin and weakness while con.
graduating ourselves on our own
fiesh. Through self confidence we
often walk into temptation only to
be ovorthrown.'
He brought out Paul's paradoxical
statement when | am weak. then
am | strong" showing how Paul in
his own weakness depended upon the
strength OF supreme being who
made him a giant.
The Rev. Mr. Morris said the devil
was using every attraction of the
world TO draw christians away from
God. The love of money, he said.
consuming the whole thought and
strength Of many people, the love of
ease apr the strength and
actil j. of the lnds of christians
The love of pleasure is running the
masses mad and their only thought
is the qualification of the flesh, and
consequently they were drifting away
from God.
Then he said, there is a per-
sonal devil, an evil spirit. who
enters into man and takes control
OF him. 1t is he whom Jesus SO often
cast out of men while here on earth.
