"Behold Jesus" Hebrews 2:9. - "ChriatiaB t "Son God ; :- v , Man, who was created in the image of God, has been, degraded and! de moralized by sin,:. said the. preacher in beginning his powerful and stirring sermon. Though mart was made a lit tle lower thn: God he may be lifted upon a level with, Jesus Christ,- the son of God. To become a Christian eives a man royal knowledge, royal power, a -royal mission and a royal destiny. When a; man becomes a Christian, he becomes a son of God. A.

Importance of Right Choosing The importance of right choosing was the theme of an address deliver ed by: Dr. Vines to the First Baptist Sunday school , yesterday morning. Declaring that only human beings can choose, the speaker; made' plain the fact that every person can choose and ; must choose. You must either choose- to serve God or the devil to be a Christian or a sinner. There are only two to serve-J esus Christ and the devils We, must serve one or the other. vYou are on your way to heaven or hell at your own choice. He warned against ' waiting too late to choose for the Christian life and for God. ; Fundamental Thing in Religion. - Belief in God, was .pronounced the fundamental .thing in .religion by Dr. Vines in his sermon Sunday morning. The . gospel, he; said,, is based upon the reality "of God. Nature -i Itself iiroves the reality jOI God. -if yoa te ievelm God,'cthen;; you cannot; but take the next .step and ' believe, on Jesus.' It was through Jesus Christ, the Son"that-God revealed hia good ness. God is infinitely good. God touches the world.. through His Son. Dr. Vines t6ld of the atonement of Jesus forvmankind. In closing he said, "If you want to be a Christian you are a Christian. The moment a man says in his heart that he wants to be a Christian he becomes a Christian." His text was: "Let not your hearts be troubled: ye believe in. God, r be lieve also i in : me." John i4:l.yit . Methods of Reaching Sinners ' . "And the Lord said nnto hiS'serv-5 ants, - go. out- into the" highway and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." Luke 14:23. Using this as a text Sat urday morning, Dr. Vines told of the best methods of. compelling men and women to accept Christ. The. church was '. described as the indispensable force for: reaching out after sinners. The preaching of the . Gospel of Jesus Christ ; .was another .method outlined foi reaching sinners. ; "The f well-or ganized church , he said, "must De a compelling power." . Too ; " many churches are not linked up with the divine power, and not in touch with God. the' preacher continued.' When the church wakes up the Kingdom of God comes. Only a small per cent of church members are -working for the Kingdom. Prayer reaches God's throne and moves the souls of men. The - need -of personal, work; in bringing about a revival of religion was stressed by Dr. Vine Too many lack personal endeavor. In closing he told f the great good that a unrist ian may do by; personal effort. , y ' What Constitutes Success , . Usefulness, character and. heaven make, up success as defined by Dr. Vines in his sermon Friday evening. Hia' text was: . :"And thou Bhalt have good success." Joshua 1: g, V,-.' . ... ., T:.t.i-;, .'-j . In beginning his sermon, he declar ed that everyone- can make a success in 'life and pictured the calamity of a failure in the .only life one has tQ live. Some have the idea that success is making a great display -.' in this world," but this is not real success. It pays to be sincere and just what you are. To live for pleasure is not suc cess, Life'lived for money alone Js a failure Success consists of living for the eternal, being useful and doing the will pf God. Character is success. Your character is what you really, are and it will live forever. If you live to an old age and go to pell your life has been a failure. Jesus Christ has given the rules of success.' Follow Him and you .will never fail. - v, i The various classes of the, Sunday school attended the service ' Friday evening in a body and the large church auditorium was filled to overflowing. many finding seats in the balcony.
