THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
DR. WIEST DISCUSSES
l PROBLEMS OF CHURCH
Discusses Problem of Man Who Hears
Call of God and Does Not Respond
I To It.
“Do you know that there has been
organized an atheistic Hociety, and
that it has been chartered by the
State of New York?” Dr. E. F. Wiest
asked the congregation at Trinity Re
formed Church Monday night. Then
Dr. Wiest read-the principles and ob
jectives, as set forth by the society
itself. It is to destroy Christianity,
root and branch. The society ac
knowledges that it will find its strong
est opposition in the South. “That
jis to your credit,” said Dr. Wiest in
his comment. “What will it dd? It
will wake up the church. It will
arouse the indifferent church mem
bers. It will cause the careless to
be aroused to a fighting spirit.” Dr.
M iest spoke on the text: 1 Corin
thians 2:14. “The natural man re
ceiveth not the things of the Spirit
B°d because they are spir
itually judged.” Though the attend
ance was somewhat diminished, those
present were blessed in spiritual fel
lowship, and went away with a mes
sage that will cause them to think
oil these things.
“Why is it that there are so many
people upon whom the church cannot
find a response to their invitations,
people who seem to hear no call from
the Spirit of God? You invite them
and they respond yes, but they do
not come. They will tell you they
know it is their duty as well as priv
ilege and yet they do not give them
selves to the Lord. There are so
many of those who are members who
are seldom in the house of God. You
have talked to many who seem to
be so constituted that you make no
impression. Paul in the text gives
the answer—they are after the nat
ural man and therefore cannot know.
“We can meet these people with
reason, in prayer, and give our testi
mony. It is a scientific fact that
they do not know, and they cannot
know because they have no spiritual
capacity. Their natural capacity is
not sufficient. To see the diamond
as it really is you need the micro
scope. The natural eye cannot de
tect the flaw. To see the stars you
need the telescope. The natural eye
canno sec the stars in all their beau
ty. yea many cannot be seen at all
with the natural eye. To locate the
rich fields of iron ore you need the
magnetic needle. You cannot see
it hidden under the surface of the
earth. To know the rea| condition
of the heart, the physician uses the
stethescopc. The natural ear can
not hear the human heart.
‘jit is also true that to appreciate
art you must have the artistic sense
of appreciation. To know music
you must be able to know the differ
ence between Old Hundred and Dixie.
So also to know the spiritual things
we must have the sense of spiritual
perception. There is the spiritual
faculty. If we have so long neg
lected to use what we have by right
of creation, the time will come that
we will lose the powers and the ca
pacity to receive the things of the
Spirit of God, The man with .the
one talent lost his talent because* 1M
failed to use it. That is the law;
Afid the law is inevitable. Darwin,
the scientist, told how he became so
engrossed in crass materialism that
he lost all appreciation of art, litera
ture, and those good things which
ift up the mind and the soul. But
it was too late. He had spent his
ife.
"Now, that spiritual faculty is
faith. By faith we know. By faith
we see. By faith we enter into the
joys of God. By faith we are one
in Jesus Christ. By faith we have
personal attachment with God. And
that attachment is not attained in
a moment. It is the by-product of
persistent education, a long experi
ence. So the older we grow, the
more like God we become.
“If you have wandered far from
God, listen to the call of God. It
may be a mother's prayer. It may
be the cradle song of childhood. It
may be the lessons you learned when
a child. It may be the thoughts
of a stained mother, father, teacher.
Just listen to the call of God. And
in your soul, answer the Spirit.
“And do not put it off another day.
It will make the soul hardened to the
call of the spirit. It will reduce
your small capacity to know God.”
The services will be contiuued
daily at 3:30 and 7 :45 p. m. Rev.
C. C, Wagoner, of Newton, is here,
having returned from Newton, where
he is pastor of Grace Reformed
Church. Gospel songs, and a gospel

Rumble Brothers Ringtail Circus is
fast approaching Concord for its
showing here on Saturday, fie Ist of
May. This famous circus is now
passing through several slates. The
very latest state it has passed through
being the State of Inflation. Per

Europe and the ba'.d heads of Kan- 1
napolis on many different occasions.
Many of the heads before which it |
lias performed were not crowned but
sadly in need of that coronation.
Europe was simply appalleh at the
wonderful performances given by
Rumble Brothers. Lloyd George had
nothing on the udvance man for
Rumble Bros, as a press agent for
Europe. As a result of having har
bored Rumble Bros, on the European
continent for almost a year, Europe
was know as never before. Europe
knows mere than ever now how to
appreciate good entertainment.
