Dr. Frost Mlds for the Llt*rnl Res

The pulpit at the First Baptist Church
j yesterday morvdr.g was DIM by Rev, Dr.
J. M Frost. corr.**pond;ng' secretary of
ihe Sunday School Buar-l of the Southern
Baptist Convention, with office at Nash-
I ville. The sermon preached by Dr.
Frost was pronounced by the congrega
tion one of the most profound and inter

church.
Ttw "Kc.urrectton" w.ir the nubjeot up
on which Dr. Frost spoke. He consider
d ?nv tlm*. the pr-ons and he power
j *f th** resurrect km and destiny after the

rection l- to be literal, a restoration of
Ib** earthly body, was advanced by Dr.
Frost, who rgu#* 1 tha! those who are op-
D , *cd to thfe vb-w #ir* lnclln*-d to leave
the power of Gcxl out of consideration,
wher* is It is thfe very power that is to
work the great r •nfrmati**n anil aga.n
transvert that which has gone as dust
unto diiM and ashes unto ashes into cor
poreaHty.
This power of God Is not understood. It
j •'•* not reckoned upon, I)r. Frost said, and
m* n shrink from a belief simply because
they do not recognise a power that Is In
finite and a- able to effect that renurrec
j t:*m of the body as other wonders that
i .tr*- disclosed.
Dr. Frost stopped over In Savannah for
fh day only, as he leaves to-day for Ar
ilia Fla., when* he Is to attend the
Florida Htat* Baptist Convention.
The pulpit at night was occupied by the

He felt the need of this love and devo

"Th** Chrlsilan life." he said, "can be
made real to us when we realize that our
love for Christ Is based upon love for His
perfectly human character."
While the pulpit could impress these
truths. Mr Strong said, they could bet
be taught In the home, o pure and simple
home life, being the surest foundation
for the church ar.d for society.
