Delegations from the churches in the county are being invited to attend the tabernacle services and large crowds are exp cted as the campaign gathers headway. Speaking last night on the subject of "The Church of Faith," the Evangelist said, "the apostle Paul made special mention of the spiritual of the church at Rome He DRONED that he had heard of their great faith in all of the world where he had preached.

"It must have been a tremendous power in the city of Rome because all Christendom, If every the was spoken chitren in the world today had a deep desire to win the lost to Christ we would see a continual state of evangelism. The fact of the matter is that a true New Testament church must be an evangelistic church. All preaching that is true Bible must be evangelistic, in fact anything apart from this is net preaching at all.

Ail Bible teaching must have as its goal the salvation of the lost. "Paul said he was proud of the Gosnel and that it was the power of God unto salvation to those who believed it. He knew all of the world's philosophy, he could meet the greatest in Rome their own grounds from an educational standpoint, but he declared unto them that the Gospel and not anything they had already was the power of God unto salvation. He told them boldly that he was ready to preach the Gospel to them and also he was a debtor to all because of his faith in Christ. "We as Christians today owe a debt to the world and we must pay it dav by day, The debt wo owe is to give them the knowledge Christ that they might obtain eternal salvation.

"This is the work of the church and the church must pay this debt to the unsaved world if she is to have any Spiritual power and influence with men.
