SEARCHING SENTENCES FROM McQUILKlN’S SERMONS The Ma.ster is here and calleth thee. ■Nj The proof of the presence of Jesus in a man or in a church or in a city is the working of a miracle. Meeting the Master means a miracle. Every man naturally has the heart of a Phari.see, that is, he jus tifies hiniseif. ^ " ’ ‘The Pharisee justified himrelf. God condemned him. The Phariscj; said, “I am all right.” God said, "You are all wrong.” The publican condemned himself. God justified him. The publican .said, "1 am all wrong.” God said, "Now your heart is right with me.” F’verything a Christian does, washing dishes or cooking or cann ing on a business, is service for Christ. There is no such thing as an unanswered prayer: we do not always get what we ask, but God gives an answer if it is a real prayer. The first step into salvation and victory over sin is to say, "Oh wretched man that I am.” 'That is a conviction that I am a sinner. Kiwanis Meeting Early T^ay The regular Kiwanis meeting this evening will be held at 6:30 instead of 7:30, the usual hour. The meetng will adjourn at 7:15 in order that all may attend the revival servi^ at the orphanage chapel. The Rev. R. C.Jdc- Quilkin, who is conducting the ser vices, will be the guest of honor of the club and make a brief talk. All mem bers are urged to be on hand promptly at 6:30 p. m. Miss Alva Wilson of Clover, spent the week-end here with friends. Are you a Martha or a Mary? Martha was troubled, Mary was trusting; Martha anxious, Mary abiding; Martha complaining; Mary contented; Martha worried, Mary worshiping; Martha care-full, .Mary care-freeriSfarlKa j^aTous','Mary joyous; ‘MaHhl Wcupted with self. Mary occupied with Christ. Are you a Martha or a Mary? God could not forgive a single sin if Christ had not died on the Cross. Who put Christ to death? Satan put Christ to death. The Jews put Christ to death. The Gentiles put Christ to death. Judas, an Apostle, put Christ to death. God the Father put Christ to death. Christ gave Himself voluntarily to die: no one could have put Him to death except for his own will. My sin put Christ to death. Believing that Christ died for you on the Cross saves ydp. And nothing^else does. \ 1 If a man says he believes and his life is not changed he does not believe: he is only saying so. ’ KMSi ■gfftllW ' • 9 HmtllM ,\ \ \ .
