offensive manner that it has all
contributed to have the entire
audience figuratively "in t h,- wir."
At Friday night's service
scarcely one stirred in his seat
from the time the minister took
i the piatrorui. Every eye was fixed
Immovably upon him nnd every
ear was strained to cntch each
quietly uttered word which fell

the evangelist, most of the time
half reclining on his pulpit, with
no gestures save for the occasion
al raising of a warning finger,
quietly and deliberately analyzed
certain sins much as a medical in

the nature and effect of a rank

facts having all been marshal? d
in faultless and convincing arrav.
tha speaker arose to the only im
passioned flight of his discourse,

Inspiring music of the campaign
thus far and the attendsnce on
the platform wss noticeably In
crensed. many new faces being
?n In the chorus for the first
c with but few absentees from
ong the ranks of those already
itloned. In his preliminary
remarks. Mr. Ramsay In his Ini
mitable manner, paid high tribute
to the cordiality of certain of the
leading merchants and business
men of the city and expressed ap
preciation of many courtesies
Which have been extended to the
campaign snd to the individual
members of the psrty. He high
ly amused the audience by his
portrayal of some, however, who
either Ignore him on the street or
apeak so coldly that their antag
onism to the evangelistic effort Is
evident. The chorister delivered
ulraself of a vigorous exhortation
on the way to build a city, em
phasising the fact that the pri
mary rule was to be courteous to
all strangers whether you like
them or not. His effort, empha
sised. by considerable physical ac
tivity and vocal exertion, kept the
audience in a roar of laughter as
well as Impressing them with a
good lesson. In addition the chor
ister paid his respects to those
who are criticising the cost of
such a campaign and emphatically
stated that the money'of any such
person was not wanted, but only
that which was freely and sincere
ly Kf*en for the glory ofOod end
the progress of His cause In this

day of teat. Saturday night
Evangelist Hsm Is to speak on
''Worldltness." another of the ae
ries of foundation messages he Is
delivering as a basis for the evan
gelistic effort which Is to follow
Frldsy night's sermon was In
part as follows:
We have seen how the first Ad
am was victimlxed by Satsu snd
we want now to study the conflict
between Satan and the last Ad
am, Jesus Christ. The first Adam
was tested by Satan and fell,
bringing on himself the curse of
God; the last Adam was likewise
tested, hut won a glorious victory
over Satan, a victory to which we
owe our hope for eternal life. In
the fourth chapter of Matthew,
ws are told of this conflict Jesus
goes Into tb* wilderness and fasts
for 40 days uBtfT he Is weakened
bV hunger, snd then Sifsn In ac
cordance with Clod's will and plan
comes to test him Now many
can't understand why Ood lets *he
>vll live. For the ssme resson
tut he leta you and me live. Tljf.

a? Satan t?>mptj his victims. Hut
God t^tii tlifgp wicked men- live
j?nd whv ^hrmfrf fir Sintror^STrtatf*'
Now Jesus must be tested. All
God"* people arc tested. Job wu*
tented just km were all others of
God's ancient heroes. Satan ene
day slandered Job by telling God
that Job was only herviti:; Mini
Im-c iiix- nr f)irs8inus n.- r"-o !V7?7T~"
Just like some of you modem dev
ils say a preacher Is preaching for
money. Why don't you get some
thing new and quit retailing that
old lie of the Devi I'm that 1? as old
as the time of Job. Hut the Lord
knew Satan was slanderlnu Jon
and he allowed Satan to test him
and sure enmi';h Job stood true.
Then one day Satan presented
hims?*lf before God and God said:
* "Where have you been. Satan?"'
"Down in the earth going to
and [?n "
"Well, have ycMj con ?Ide red" my
servant Job that hi' Is a righteous
man and there i? none Ilk?- him
on the earth?"
Think of the satisfaction It
must have given God to bo abb
to ask this question of Satan and
prove him the liar that lie was.
"Yes." Kaid Satan, "but skin for
skin, a niHti will Rive all he ban
f"r ''i?,?Yn" m Mm
and I II show you he will re
nounce you."
"Allrlght," God said, ''you may
afflict hI m. hut you must spare
his life." Think of it. God delib
erately let Satan brin*: phvslcal
?afTlirliaiixm jane_ uL_H I s faithful In
order that He might t,.Kt |,flu and
provet him as by Are. So Satan
afflicted Job with bolls and all
manner of suffering. And while
'Job was most miserable Satan
brings up three men who pose an
friends and try to comfort Job
One argues from the viewpoint or
the worlds' philosophy, another
from the viewpoint of the world'?
religion and another from the
? r>oTnr WT Vtnr 6T Tin> "vnrtd "h
jence and all try to prove to Job
that he 1? r. wretched kinn< r and
. nls affliction In caused by his ?In
'and they end by trying to get him
to curHe God and die.
How true wiih JoI?"k reply:
"Miserable comforters you are."
said he. And how miserable is
the comfort which the worldY 1?
ligion. and philosophy and science
today brings to the suffering soul.
Hut Job got to defending himself
and In his reckless defense lie tot
to glaming God and God chal
len??'d him:
"Job, would you condrmn me
that you might he Justified?"
Then he turned to Job's friend*
and told them to shut up. that
; they were all wrong, Just as he
1 will nay to the philosophy and re
; ligion and science of today when
He Anally speaks. Job was tent
ed and finally fell by blaming
God. but he repented and took his
stand in grace and here we have
a picture of the human family
and In this little incident In the
life of Job. the spiritually minded
man sees the whole plan of salva
tion and from It he gets comfort
and help.
Yes. God lets all of us be sub
jected to tests. "heboid. Satan
>haw asked to have you that he
might sift you as wheat." said
Jesus. God tests us to prove us
and see that which Is genuine In
our faith and to prove to those of
us who are not genuine that H"
is Just when He condemns us.
Hut let us noti* the lessons a
comparlsou-?>1 the - tests of tjic
first and last Adam have for us
i The flrst Adam was placed In a
'? garden of plenty and wanted for
'nothing when be was tested.
'Christ was placed In a wilderness
and was hungry when He was
tested. And Satan tried to get
each to eat. The Arst Adam was
not hungry, but fell. The last
Adam was hungry, but resisted
temptation becauae "It Is written
that man shall not live by bread
alone." There Is only one way to
save this life and that Is to lose
It. Is that not a paradox? Yet
there i? the iuiuit kernel of truth
on which every Christian life Is
founded. There is only one way
to Invest your life and that ia in
Christ. Many are Investing theirs
In business, but win M Is their
life when they die Their busi
ness Is gone. Many today can't
see the difference between Christ
and a good thing. You fathers
and mothers here who this week

teach the great lessen that man
lias so sorely needed t?? learn that 1
."man do?-s not live by bread
olone. but by every word that
proci-edeth out of the mouth of i
God." Note too that Jesus re-'
piled to Satan saying "Man." In
other wnrdn "Satan. I am not
meeting >'<>u as God. hut as man.
In my own inherent goodness as
a man I will meet you and de-s
f?-at you." God has often taught
us this same lesson. He Ind the
children of Israel out of Egypt by
a dangerouH circuitous route for
this purpose, lfc could have led
them Into Canaan by a direct
route, but Instead He led thenr try
a circuitous route until lie ?
brought them Into a little pocket. I
surrounded on every side until
there was no hope for their escape
except a miraculous interference
from God. Then after delivering
them from this position, he |<>d
them Into tin* wilderness deliber
ately that they might hunger.
Think of that. God deliberately
lending them Into the wilderness
to hunger when He could have
done otherwise without causing
suffering. Why did He do that?
,He tells US In petit. "And He
humbled thee and suffered thee fo
hunger and fed thee with manna
which thou knewest not. neither
did the fathers know; that h<
inleht make thee know that man?
doth not live by bread only, but.
by everything that proceedeth out
of the mouth of Jehovah dotli man
live." He was even then teach
in? man this great lesson.
God often deliberately puts u*
where we have to choose He of
ten pufi meetings in times of
numerous counter - attraction?,
fairs, carnivals, social amuse
ment?. civic banquets and what
not Just to test us as to whether
or not we havs learrfed that "man
does not live by bread alone"; he
deliberately makes them conflict

usual.
It :00a.m.?Preaching by the pastors in the various
churches as usual.
3:00 p.m.?Great mass meeting at the tabernacle for
everyliody. Kvangelist Ham will deliver
his sermon-lecture. "The Signs of the
'l imes." Mr. Ham is considered by many
who have heard h+m ns one of ttv for"
most exponents of Bible prophecy and .'In
dents of world condition on the American
evangelistic platform. Those who inn;:,
this mesrage will do themselves a <!""ided
injustice.
7:30 p.m.?Service at the tabernaiclo with all church
es co-operating. Sermon subject : Why I
Believe There Is a (Jod; Why I Believe
the H i 1)1# Is Ili* Book; Why I Believe Je
sus Christ Is His Son.
Probably .this is Mr. Ham's greatest sermon and
certainly a defense of the authenticity and inspiration
of the Holy Scripture which has attracted the com
mendation of the press and pulpit of the South as has
no other similar message. Mr. Ham's extensive travels
through the I,and of the Bible, his wide grasp of wotltl
history and his deep and reverent study of the Word
itself render him peculiarly lilted to discuss this subject.
The nursery will be in operation for these services
where mothers may care for thetr children.
