the services being arranged by the
Presbyterian church and conducted
at the Baptist church.
Yesterday morning despite the
rain there was a large crowd IN at
tendance. DIR. Thacker spoke On the
subject "the Pre-eminent Christ The
preacher stated that Christ is pre-
eminent in the Bible. He lives
throughout the Book. Christ is pre-
eminent in the Bible. He lives
throughout the Book. Christ is pre-
eminent in human history, declared
DR.. Thacker. From the Fall of Baby
lon On down to present day history
His pre-eminence is illustrated. In the
World war, said the preacher, who
knows but that the suffererings OF
Russia were brought about by her
persecution of the Jews; that Ger
many was made to suffer for her
domineering militarism; that France
was made to suffer for her lust and
disregard of the laws of God; that
England was made to suffer because
of her greed for gain; that America
was drawn unto the conflict as
punishment for her forgetfulness of
God. From the early days in every
conflict in every period CT history the
Christ was pre-eminent
Yesterday afternoon DR.. Thacker
addressed the young people and 9TH
ers on the subject Making Modern
Men"
Last night the preacher spoke on
els There a Hell?" or "Magnifying
the Love of God" He spoke in con-
vincing manner giving four proofs
that there is a hell. He'll is neces-
sity for Immortality, law, love. All
those who believe in the Immortality
of the soul and and the reward of the
just must also believe in the justice
and necessity of punishment.
AS to the character of punishment
the speaker said he could not say, but
could conceive of no greater punish
ment than to suffer the tortures and
of guilty conscience
all eternity from which there
would be no relief.
Laws provide penalties for viola
tion in nature and in human affairs.
He'll is the penalty of the broken NOR
al and spiritual laws of God. God
created man in his own image, there
fore those who follow Jesus in this
world will grow to be like him in the
next, while those who grow away
from him in this life will be separated
from him in the life to come.
Men who will not through faith
permit Jesus to pay the penalty for
their sins as their substitute, will of
necessity have to pay the penalty
themselves. The purpose of God is
sending his only begotten Son to
earth was that men might be saved
from sin and hell.
This morning DR.. Thacker spoke
from the text Matthew 21:2S: s.Son
Go Work Today in My Vineyard"
Using the above text the preacher
outlined in his earnest and effective
way that God has done everything ne
cessary for the salvation of human
souls. 1t is only necessary for us to
do our part. He then discussed his
text under the following heads: Who,
What, Where and When.
Who: God gives this command to
every one who claims to be a son of
God, to you and to me and to every
one in the community;
What: Son go to work; work is
one law of God from which Jesus
himself was not free. 1t is the law
that must be fulfilled by everyone
who will enjoy physical and spiritual
health, Jesus said, 81 must work the
works of him that sent me while it is
day"
Where: In my vineyard, wherever
help is needed to relieve sorrow and
trouble and find lost souls carrying
the message of Jesus everywhere to
everyone
When: Today. Tomorrow may not
be yours. To-day if you hear His
voice harden not your heart The
greatest joy that comes to a human
life, the greatest thrill to a human
heart is experience through being the
means of leading others to. Christ.
