y'f-'t-i'
The union evangelistic campaign
moves into the last week with marks
of spiritual power. One man walked
in from outside the tent last night,
up the aisle, and gave himself to
Christ. Others followed. Christiana
knelt at the altar for a spirit-filled
life. There was victory, and evidence
of God's presence and power.
Dr. Weigle spoke on "What Must I
Do to Be Saved?" from the answer
of Paul to the Philippian jailer, "Be-
lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ and
thou shalt be saved and thy house."
He took up some of the false answers
to the question given by philosophy,
theosophy, new thought, christian
science, etc., and showed how Christ
lifts a man up, ridding him of his
past sin, making him a new creature
and giving him eternal life. To be
lieve in Christ means to accept Him
as the Son of God and the world's
Savior by making Him Lord of my
own life, which includes repentance
from sin.
Afternoon meetings of special
prayer, Bible study, and counsel will
be held in the Baptist church Tues
