• “Faith” Was Subject of Reviva-
Lst at ChrLUan Church
Monday Night
An unusually large Monday night
d' audience greeted Evangelist Ram
il \ -ey at the First. Christian churcn
k. < evening. The husn of e.xpect
. i un.cy and early assembly of the peo
g I pie marked tne intense interest in
tne meeting and the particular sub
ject to be considered.
Faith” was the subject. The
sermon consisted in an exposition
_ ana illustration of the Bible defi
c union of faith found in the Book
'of Hebrews, the 11th chapter and
0 first two verses. Faith, the evan
li gelist declared, feeds the world, en
j lightens the world and organizes
i_ tile world. It is the common basis
. of i.u-me...., society, knowledge,
, politics and spirituality. Man must
, iiave faith to please and come to
j i God, according to the preached. He
m-. ..4 that laith must be thought
e i>f in.the scripture as it is thought
_ of in the language of every day
, life. Ii is not a mystical thing, but
. a tangible reality, he declared, giv
i i ing substance to ideal. Faith is
. ‘ based upon fact. One does not
have a triu> faith,in a thing that
. doe- not exist as facts No mind
could conceive God. God must ex-
Pt as fact before we could have
■ Haith in Him. His revelation then
; - I'iat of acts regarding the gospel
and faith is the cleansing element
. that purifies the heart and makes
it tit to see God. The great fact
of God', love’revealed through the
Christ is basic in the faith of the
Christian. No man needs to be
without faith, having faith in the
things of God is reasonable, and
marks, the intelligence of man more
than doubt and question. These are
some of the assertions made Mon
day night by Mr. Ramsey.
T onight the evangelist is to speak
, on the subject “The Commission of
Jesus,” which opens a series of ser
mons on the plan, work, and re
sults of the gospel. If you are in
terested in strictly Bible themes
and Bible information you should
be interested in these series ol
studies and expositions.
