Discourse on Scriptural Inspiration
of Ood Surprise l'arty Tendered
Sophia Williams HeliRlous News
Among the Churches Repairs nt
No. 32 School Other News of Gen
eral Interest.
Seretnr,v W. W. Adair, of tho llull
road Young Men's 'hrlstliin ussocla
tlon, occupied the pulpit of the Jack
son Street Haptist church lust even
ing and gave an exceedingly interest
ing discourse before a huge audience.
Tlio usual song service was indulged
in, find the speaker road the third
chapter of Timothy for the scripture
lesson.
Mr. Adair also chose the eleventh
verse In the chapter for his text, using
the words. "All scripture Is given by
Inspiration of Ood." He said there Is
a tendency to eliminate the divine ele
ment nowadays and make It human In
effect. Men are seeking for a gospel
of what they call the age nf doubt.
Tho very signs to be observed today
are referred to In this chapter of Tim
othy. Wo have a class of teachers, he said,
tliut aii' trilling with the word of Ood,
and, Inlluenee the faith in the children
of find. This is largely so berause
Christians are not ninie familiar with
the wind of Ood. Non-believers ad
vance the Idea for argument sake that
tho quoted passage from Timothy Is In
correct, as It would naturally Include
writing, but the proof ef their error Is
found In the fulfillment of (bid's proph
ecies, which Is the severest test of the
truthfulness of the Scriptures.
No modern prophet ever met with
unqualified success and all the prophe
cies made by Ood. which the speaker
referred to have ben fulfilled. He
related the prophecy regarding tho
hlith of Christ, the destruction of Je
rusalem and Habylon. The construc
tion of the lllble is further proof of
Hod's prophecy. Mr. Adair compared
It to the construction of a building,
which was forecasted by the architect,
and of the sixty-six books In the Ulble,
written by thirty-eight persons, all
were like the different parts of tho
structure, each lining In their proper
place.
Learned writers have never equalled
the HI hie and never will, and the New
Testament Is inspired Just as well as
the old book. Its effeet on the lives of
men is another test of Ood's prophecy.
Tho good bonks of today are endorsed
by Christian people and the bad ones
condemned. Secretary Adair illustrat
ed this point by a recital of incidents
woo cltMU the
:n tl.e IhtH i.i 1.1. -
two paths In life.
Moth left n gambling room nt the
same time and one encountered n pos
ter advertising an agnostic's lecture
on the subject "Is Suicide a Sin," and
entered a theater to hear the Infidel's
version, tie Immediately afterward
committed suicide. The other man en
tered n gospel mission, was saved and
followed Christ ever after.
"The lllble Is tlrst on the field of un
known lands and civilization comes
after. It Is the greatest book on suc
cess ever written, and If men would
follow its teachings they would meet
with success.
"It will stand beyond the time of men
who ridicule It. and be the guiding light
of th" Christian long after unbeliev
ers aio forgotten."
