OFGOD WAS DISCUSSEOAT
; THE SERVICE THIS MORNING
Last Week of the Ham-Ramsay Meeting Started
, In Splendid Fashion Here Today; S
The closing week of the Ham-Ramsay-
meeting' in t New Bern started off
in : inspiring fashion today when sev
eral persbns made profession of faith
at the morning; service. The -atten
dance was exceptionally good and a
most interesting serrnon was heard !
on "Filling Your Cup With Bin."
:vThe c,itizens:'of New Rem are ioin- I
inf in whnlfl-hearteri -fashifln to make
this week the 'greatest ; which this
community ever has known from a -
spiritual point of View. &r. Ham, will
continue to hold morning and eve-
ning services at ' the' tent' and also
Will hold meetings in the homes and
places 6t business: Prayer .meetings
will h hfld- In a finreri nr more
homes this afternoon and other sim-
ilar meetings '-are scheduled- for the
remainder yf the-. week.
Tonight, he.seats: in the choir will
be; reserved.;-for -students of the high
school.. Theywiff put on an -enjoyable ,
u-niLiiui.e' song, pel vice.
' The leading? themght brought put at
tins' morning'a service was that there
is a limit to all ski, and that when this
limif is reached, - God withdraws' his
rhetcy and. proceftds to" administer
judgment j. v -r ' '
"How ' of ten. have we 'seen this
brought out in- history both in the
history of individVals'T and- nations,"
said ,the evangelist. Empires have
risen' to greaf power, but upon com
nig saturated' with, sin have crumbled
and fallen. Their ,cup of sin. was filled
ahd God administered his judgment.
Where. iv& -the ; .Chaldeans, the Am
morites, the HittieSja'nd ,' other- proud
nations oa former; age?. Where is the
great strength' and power of Egypt
and of ancient Bablyon? Those na
tions, and many others as well, at one
time were considered ,the world's
greatest' power. Today they are eith
er , extinctaltogether or they are pit
iable weaklings.
"What has' happened to those na
tions is going1 to happen to America.
I am not trying to alarm you; I am
merely giving you actual facts. The
civilization of'lAmeriea is threatened
in an alarming fashion. Its very foun-
dation is now being weakened by mal
gin and dammable influences. The
great power of the world is now in
tne nanas , or tne uentnes, but even
this shall come to an end. The trouble
is that the v majority of folks are
blihded to these vital developments;
they do not care to have their eyes
opened. ; ".- :'. 1
"Every - failure to carry out God's
teachings jidds another drop to your
cup of sihV There . are many right
here in New Bern whose cup is full.
There are other who have only a
short while to ' go. There are many
who have been ; indifferent to these
meetings; Oh, yes; they have' attended
whent it was convenient for them to
attend, but when business or pleasure
interfered, then . the meetings were
shoved into the ; background.
"God is a merciful God and a just
one. He gives you chance after chance
the house no peace until her polls'
to accept Him, but there, is a- limit to
his't61erance. And when you reach
that limit, my friends, you are up
again, 'stern fatality. Just as sure as
I am standing here before- you and
just as sure as that body of yours is
- going to become an inert piece of clay,
God is going 'to bring His wrath down
upon you - for neglecting Him.
"You may- consider; yourself lm-
j mune from- your -feUow-mah, but you
i cannot consider yourself immune
trom' God. He will not permit you to
ignore Him. There are many of you
' wh think that you can accept Christ
I whenever you- get. ready to 4o so, bu$
'you are, mistakenly God wants you
,wnen iie is reaay to receive yob: ana
not when you are.'".
. The appeal at the end of the ser
mon was a most powerful one and it
was followed by a- number of promin
ent people of the city coming forward
and professing their faith ih Christ.
