Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 272, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 November 1910 — The Revival at the Christian Church. [ARTICLE]

The Revival at the Christian Church.

A good audience listened to an able sermon delivered by Evangelist T. J. Legg on “The Ritualism of the New Testament Church.” He showed the necessity of complying with the ritual of various orders in order to become a member. Being a member of two or three fraternal orders he spoke knowingly. He assured those present, who belonged to the orders he used as illustrations that he would not pass beyond the “dead line” and give away the secfrets. His illustrations very forcibly emphasized the fact that there were certain initial steps to be taken Jay every one seeking admission into the church of Christ. These steps, he said, could not be dispensed with for two reasons at least, first that they were authorized by Christ, the head of he church; secondly, they were absolutely necessary to qualify one for salvation from sin.

Mrs. Col vert sang very impressively a solo entitled “I Do, Don’t You?” For the benefit of the chorus work, a new piano has been placed in the church. ( —-t The subject of tonight’s sermon is ’ Relationship.” Services each evening at 7:15. Audience dismissed by nine o’clock.
