Before large congregation, the
Rev. Henry M. Parks preached an
interesting and helpful sermon on
Sunday morning. His text was
'The Searching Look of Christ" "
He said in part, A young man
came to Jesus, worshiping Him,
asking him what he could do to
have Eternal Life. This is life's
greatest desire. All others are
secondary to this. Do not ask this
of Jesus unless you mean it. The
possession the young man loved
the most, Jesus requested as the
object of his Salvation. He asked
eight things of him. Clean UP
your life and then come and follow
me. Jesus does not like dirt of
any sort. The distribution of his
wealth was necessary to his saliva
tion. If it isn't worth everything
we are and have it isn't worth any,
thing. Heaven gave us all it had
in a saviour. The young man,
would not; did not, get what he
wanted because he did not sur
render to the wishes of Christ.
Have We surrendered completely ?

teresting event. Mr.. CHM also re
