ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY KVKXJN<4. G&mtttiit-ttTVTr.? ~ *? SI a I'AUKS. NO. 246. 9.1 1 ^Scathing Denunciation Of Israel Applied T o Church ? j ' -yCondili ??i? in Time of Malachi I'rrvuil in (Ihrintriidniii V Now Savn Evangelist and Church Rich and I'ros pfrous Knows Mol Its Own Wrrlfhodnfiis "We arc living in an age ofi counterfeit*. We have olive oil tkat never saw an olive treo, but ter that never saw a cow. honey that never paw a bee, and Chrls tione who never saw Chriat." Thus in scathing Invective did Evangelist M. F. Ham Wednes day night, with the official boards and Sunday school teachers of the various churches of the city . present, arraign the nominal Christians who make up the main body, of member* of-the modern church and imagine because they follow the outward semblance of Christian worship and service that they are true disciples. In a tremendously effective il lustration of the condition of th^se j^rcad'froin the Indictments brought against the chosen people by the prophet Malachi. citing the fact that to every indictment of the prophet the people responded with a question an to wherein they were guilty of the offense charged thus convicting themselves of aplrtluul hHntl?o*iu-Turniag?then to the New Testament the evan gelist cited the early Christian Chnrch at Laodlcea. which consid ered Itself rich and abounding In good works and an example to all the other churches and In need of nothing, but which In fact, the Holy Spirit declared, was wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, as typical of the fash ionable church of this age. The sermon was delivered be fore the largest week-day crowd that had yet heard the evangelist, with each congregation in tho ci ty well represented as was dis closed when Mi\ Ramsay prior to the sermon asked members of the various churches to stand in turn. ? For this service tho audience had .been seated by congregational ---?roups -?o- tkat U was. ea.sii, t-CL as certain how well represented was each church of tho city. A distinct departure in the us ual muslcsl progrsm came during tka collection when Chorister Ramsay led tho body of negroes in attendance at the meeting In the melodious negro spiritual "Standing In the Need of Prayer." The colored people wore quick to Jfrfcatch the rhythm and spirit of VThelr leader and soon had tho old " melody reverberating from tho rafters of the pine temple. A mo ment's silence followed the ren dering of this number and then the audience broke Into applause. ?'You folks," said Mr. Ramsay as he made his way back to the plat form, "remind me of an old flint gun 1 used to have?pull the trig ger and you would have to wait half an hour to hear tho report." The outstanding feature of the regular musical program was the obligato solo "Under Ills Shel tering Wings," rendered by Mrs. W. J. Foreman, accompanied by Mr.'Rogers and the chorus. Mrs. Foreman sang from the speaker's flatform snd her rich full soprano rang out vibrant and boll-llkc above the rythmic chanting of the chorus. Thursdsy morning Mr. Ham spoke to another increased audi ence on "The Tests of Dlsclple shlp," another of his helpful ma nage* to the Chrlstlsn*. The sub ject for Thursday night was not announced. Wednesday night's sermon follows: A Complacent People W*? wsnt to study lonlght the Indictments brought sgalnst God's people by the prophet Malachi. It reveals the deplorable condition of this people to whom the prophet Whs speaking and It contains som? valuable lessons f<y us. The key word of this message Is "Where in." The word occurs e ight times and each time was used by the people as an answer to one of the rdlctnunts brought sgalnst them. r?d ??id. "T have loVeft yr?tl." "Wherein bast thou loved lis?" tfte people reply. - "You hsve despised me/' ssld Ood. "Wherein have we despised thee?" say the people. "You have polluted my altars." "Wherein havo we polluted thy altars?" "You hsve wearied me." "Wherein hsve we wearied you?" "Return unto roe." VWhereln shsll we return unto thee?" "You hsvr robbed ine." "Whejxin have we robbed* theet" "You hsve spoken sgalnst nie." "Wherein have we spoken against thee?" ask the people. Notice how the people Invari ably answer Ood by this hypocri tical question, this Insolent. Irrev erent, Impudmt Insinuation that fled'? Indictment was not true. Mere were nominal worshippers of Jehovah apparently wholly un conscious of any separation from Ood and yet Ood brings this ter rible Indictment against them, ijan you Imagine anything ?nore f deplorable than for a neople to be 1 so blind to their real condition. %lnd yet this same condition pre vails todsy amofrg our professing Christ la no and tO" every Indict ment of the Spirit thepr will reply.

Christ Buys, "If I don't com? be f<jj?? your home, your business, your social sei, your father, moth er, I am not your Master and don't call mo Master. I don't want your hypocritical pretense." "You have despised my name," Hays God. "Wherein hare we despised your name?" "In that you have polluted my altar?.- -You--come -into- God's presence with wicked lives and unjudged sins. You even sit at the Lord's table and eat and drink damnation to yourself. l?ook at the careless way we use the name of God, many of us as a common cuss word and by-word. -ilW ^ilespjsed thy name?" The Indictment o? Disloyalty "Ye have oni-ied the halt and the lame and the blind. Ye have offered unto me a blemished thing." "OfTer such service to your governor," says (Jod; In oth er words "try to serve your coun rrjrin the Nan* bur-hearted way you serve me and see if it will he accepted." Why, If any one of the soldiers In the last war had been as disloyal and careless in the performance of his duty as the average Christian Is today, he would have been court-martialed and shot an a traitor. Some of you here tonight pose as soldiers of Christ and yet you haven't had /H thing to do w'.th this meeting where your pastor? and churches have launched a fight for Chrlat. You have quit the ranks and God has painted you yellow. You are a traitor before Ciod. "nut." you say. "I don't believe in revivals." and yon ofTer your little flimsy, worthless excuses for not being on the firing line. I can see you don't believe in revivals. That Is the reaHon sin and crime is rampant In your community. "That l8~Tho~TeffiDn 7?u "trad?Nia4 last war. Europe had quit believ ing in revivals and sin had done its deadly work. France quit hav Ing levlvala and had a revolution, but England had the Wesleys to start a great revival and she es caped. Brother, sin and the Dev il's counterfeit religions are dig ging at the foundation of this country and unless you Christians wake up and bring about a great, nation-wide revival of Holy Ghost, heaven sent religion you are going to reap Just like every nation of history that followed the rout" you are pursuing. Glfta" Without Sacrifice Yes, you offer to God the old blind, sick sheep that were no good for anything else. "Cursed he that, drcelver who offers a blemished thing," says C,od. Of fering that which Is reprobate. |n other words the odds and ends, that which you have no other use for. "Ven. Lord. I'll go to pray er meeting If there Isn't a lodge meeting on." You needn't go at all; God doesn't want you there. "Yes. I'll read my Bible when there Is nothing else I can do. But 1 jiiHt can't understand It." That ought to convince you that you are lost. The true Chris tian wants to read his Bible. "In His law doth he meditate day and night." You can't enjoy this Bi ble If you are unssved or If you are carnal. This Bible Is spiritu ally discerned. "Oh." you say. "I study my Sunday school lesson." Yes. you take that little breakfast dish and all the time you know iiuU you could aludy those little pamphlet? until yon were as old as Methuselah and never know anything about this Bible You Just do what you want to do. You glvo God the left-over*. Many of vou go off on vacations and spend hundreds of dollars and then come back and complain that the church is always asking for money. And tnany of you spend more for cigara and at the soda fountain than you give God In all youfllfe tlm> Missionaries tell us that It costs about throe dollars . to convert a heathen and statistics show that It cost over 14.000 to kill one man In this last war and yet you haggle and argue about the pitiful mile you spend In God's work Ue not deceived, you reap what you low. You can't give the old blind, sick sheep and expect the Lord to trot you out a . herd of thoroughbreds when you get to heaven. Making God a I'aujwr Some of you spend prodigally when you entertain your social, set, but look at the niggardly way you O-eat God. A lot of you rich folks, whom God has blessed and? who* spend lavishly on your homes and your own personal desires snd yet you go around giving soon* and socials and hsvlng booths and playing second fiddle to a cheap carnival In order to raise a little money for the Lord. Instead of going down In your pockets and giving to God as he has prospered yon. Keep your money. God doesn't want It He Isn't broke. You make God ap pear to be a pauper. You have made His name despicable You mav not hale God. but by your actions vou show that you despise Him.
