DR.. M'LENNAN GIVES
SERMON FROM LUKE

Pastor McLennan of the Seventh
Day Adventist church used as the
text for his Sunday morning sermon
in Luke ii:13-14, GLORY to God in
the highest. and on earth, peace, good
will toward men,"
DR.. McLennan said that the peace
of the angels song is that sweet
peace which comes to every true
child of God; that peace Ct soul which
comes through faith in Christ, by
whom, and through whom one is
transformed. He pointed out that
the laws regulating the peace offer
ing in the ancient Levitical service
beautifully taught, in type and
shadow, how to obtain this much
coveted treasure, for the entire Jew
ish economy was cCmpacted
prophecy of the gospel, and was diff
ferent from all other offerings in
that it could be made at any time.
The pastor. stressed the lack of at
tention and courtesy offered to stran-
gers, declaring that to be so closely
related to Christ that we can lay the
government of our lives on His shoh-
der, we must find a closer relation
ship by the practice of cordially and
truth toward all men. In closing his
sermon DIR. McLennan quoted First
| Corinthians, x:31, saying: mo man
can be in perfect peace who is ruled
by his appetite. The appetite must
be placed in subsection to the Prince
of Peace"

DR.. HOBBS breaches
ON COMING OF CHRIST

Making strong plea for immediate
His second coming, unawares, find
people unprepared to meet Him, Rev.
]. r. Hobbs, pastor of the First Bap-
fist church, Sunday night preached a
sermon on 1.-THE Resurrection-Is 1t
To Take Place Soon?" which was
broadcast from the wSY radio sta
tion of the Alabama Power company.
He took for his text Revelation
20:5, 6. The evening service was at
tended by large congregation. which
sang the hymns with fervor when in
formed by the pastor that the service
was to be broadcast. A large choir,
composed largely of members of the
congregation, also gave fine rendition
of several selections, and Mrs. ]. Fred
Scholfield, wife of the choir director,
sang Il Heard the Voice of Jesus
Say
Resurrection is inseparable from
the second coming of Jesus Christ
and is dependent on it," DR.. Hobbs
said in part. IF He does not come
the second time, there will be no
resurrection, according to the teach
ing of the scriptures; but the scrip
lures teach that He will come again.
There are more prophecies in the New
Testament of Christ's second coming
than in the Old Testament of His first
coming, and these are made both by
Christ Himself and by His apostles.
I'm asking ourselves the, question:
When will the resurrection take
place? there is but one answer we can
make: When Jesus Christ comes back
to earth"
las for when He will come there
are two schools in this country, the
pre- millennium and millennium,
one believing Christ will come before
the millennium and the other after 1t,
that is after the 1000 years of peace
and plenty that He shall reign on
earth after His second coming. If the
latter are correct, He Is not coming in
the near future, for certainly the con-
dition of the world today does not
presase the early coming of the mil
lennium.
"Others believe that the fulfillment
of prophecies made In the scriptures
can be traced in mans history since
Christ was here. and from time to
time they set the date for His Sec
ond coming. One time having elapsed
without His having come, they set
Another. The scriptures clearly state
that He will come in an unexpected
moment; therefore, everybody should
be prepared for His coming at any
time, should live day by day ready to
meet the Lord.
1--WE have two definite things about
His coming-first. that He is coming,
and second, the uncertainty of the
time for His coming.
I'VE have knowledge of three phe-
nomena which will take place when
He comes the second time. First, the
resurrection or raising of the dead.
All of those who have lived and died
will walk about again on this earth
and mingle with those then here In
their uncorrupted spiritual life; that
is, all of those who have been dead
to Christ will do so, those who have
died in their sins-npt those who
know the first resurrection and have
accepted Him.. Those who know the
first resurrection will be resurrected
at the end of the millennium during
which Christ shall have reigned the
1000 years, and then only to be
judged. That judgment, If unfavor-
able, shall be the second DEATH
