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. NEW FACULTY NAMED FOR MONTEZUMA SCHOOL MONTEZUMA, July 31.
