Tabernacle

Services at Metropolitan Commu-
nifty Tabernacle last Sunday began
by reading the fourth chapter OF
l Timothy. The pastor. the Rev.
John +. Glover, spoke from the sub
ject, THE believers resources of
the crisis in the last days. He
said; THE believer has seven re-
sources TO rest upon in these last
days. First is unfeigned faith
which does not depend upon cir
cumstances, but upon God; Second
Is the Holy Spirit which takes the
fear out Of men; Third, we must
have a sound foundation to stand
upon which Is the Word OF God:
Fourth, we must have the grace OF
God which Is Christ Jesus; Fifth,
we as Christians are to have a
separated life from the things OF
the world: Sixth, we look for the
coming OF the Lord, who shall give
us a crown OF Righteousness In that
day. and Seventh Is gods faithful
ness who is faithful in all things"
The speaker concluded by say
irg that there is only one living
and true God eternally existing in
three distinct and mutually related
persons: the Father. the Son and the
Holy Spirit. the same in essence,
equal in every divine perfection.

extremely urfavorable conditions
