FINF SERMON TO
FATHERS AND SONS
LARGE AUDIENCE HEARD REV.
LOVEIN IN STRONG APPEAL.
At the morning service at the.
Mothodist church today Evangelist.
Lovein took high ground as h
rreached on “‘Some conditions of
~necessful prayer.” Mr. Lovein took
the position that a successful praver
is a prayer that gets an answer and
denied that “No” is an answer to
prayer. “If God is not going to hear
and answer us when We pray, then
we have no better God than a heath
en in China” said the evengelist.
He then named what he considered
to be the conditions of prayin®
such a prayer as will surely be
answered. It was a new way of
presenting this much discussed sub
ject and the message was greatly en
joyed by a larger number of people
who were present.
The service last night for
«Fathers and Sons” was largely at
tended and Mr. Lovein’s theme was
«David’s, advice to Solomon.” It was
an earnest appeal to the fathers to
| concern themselves about the relig
ious life of their sons and to set the
right sort of an example before them
! The evangelist has announced his
' theme tonight to be “The Glory of
the Church” and he is urging the
church people of all denominations
| of the city to be present. The con
| gregations continue to he quite large
{ and it is the opinion of many that
