Was Delivered By Evangelist , Ham at the Big Tent OVER 3000 WERE THERE TO HEAR HIM; Many Classified the Sermon As the, Best Ever I Heard Here. Scores of bplendid Argu ; merits Brought Out In the Message. One of the most magnetic, wonderfulr-60ul-!Jrring, inter esting 'jind 'logical, 'sermons, ever preached, in .this1 city was Ijeard by over 3500 rsons last, night when' Evangelist M. F. "Hani . preached ,his ; sermon roh , ".Why I Believe in the Bible.': .3 . ; For 'more than -an hour his: large audience, which com pletejy filled the tent, sat, in rapt 'attention, , listening to' the sound reasoning and the apt illustrations as set forth by the preacher. . j , ' , . , ' . No sermon preached locally ever has evoked greater comment and none has aroused greater interest. It was a masterpiece and never will be forgotten by those who heard it. A summary of the leading . points brought out follows : The task which the evangelist set for himself was to prove that Jehovah is God, that the Bible is his word and that Jesus is the Christ, the only be gotten son of i God. -, x - . He tools ;two -texts, namely: sVThe fool hath, said in hia heart there is ho God;".nd il'The invisiblei things of Him since, the. creation -of the wrold are clearly -.seeni . being .,' perceived through-, .the -things that- are made.' The first passage is found in Psalm 14: ' 1; the5 second in Romans' 1: 20.- ; "The man who says there ia no God goes contrary to every system of rea soning;! the' "preaehef declared. "The Christianwfalth, is a reasonable faith, ' and men -of intelligence do not cling to it simply because it is a happy faith, though it is a happy, precious faith. "There are fou things for. which atheists cannot account: xne univcioc, the Bible, the Christ and the Jew. . ,' 'Tq account , for ; the tfniverse, the atheists give us 'the nebular hypothe sis. They say a mass of gasses accumu late in space and begin to revolve 'and as it cooled Its diameter grew smaller and the speed more rapid - till, like water from ; a grindstone, particles were 5 thrown off which became our planets, th? central mass being the sun. Yet should I tell one of them that an automobile or a locomotive or-a watch originated in that: way without anv designer or; maker; he would call me a fool, and he would be right. Yet the men : who- swallow - the nebular hypothesis can't believe- that the great fish swallowed Jonah. " Marvels Faj? Beyond Man "No the universe is full of marvels far surpassing the automobile or the locomotive ; or the watchi -Billions of snowflakes all are similar but no two just alikeV The same is true of billions of leaves of the forest. The leaves are so arranged ;In, spirals that they do not shade eachAother, because light is essential to their health." - , Then the .. evangelist showed the harmony in nature, the mathematical accuracy in even the notes of the birds the balance between centrifugal gnu centripedal forces,, etc. :..
