PETER'S EPISTLE WAS HIS SUBJECT

'i n. Bible Conference Takes Up a New Phase of Letters in Its Discussion Today. LECTURES ARE STUDIES SPEAKERS SHOW FAMILIARITY WITH BIBLE AND TELL ABOUT INTRICACIES WITH STRONG DELINEATION. Professor Truman Kenworthy, of Knlghtstown, opened the meeting at the Friends Bible Institute at Earlham this morning: with a discussion of "Tba First Epistle of Peter. . Prof. Kenworthy said, "The repentent Inner desires peace and there la a grace higher even than peace. A test ed faith is more precious than tested gold. The Christian should live a holy life as his father lives because he baa been brought up by the blood that is more precious than gold." Prof. Wright gave his second lecture on "The Reasonableness of Mir acles in Proof of Revelation." Prof. Wright stated that the most funda mental fact of the religious belief was the personality of God. The speaker then went on to state that God deals with us as persons; that we have the power of choice and by His will we can control nature. In discussing "Faith and Works Prof. Haworth said that Peter was the deciple of works. John that of love and Paul that of faith. The speaker .said that faith without works was idle because it was dead. Prof. , Hole in Afternoon, m nwm ui cariuam a - llverurf an address hafnrm ha inal(fn MAf A IUh T-fc TI.I. - TT 1 1 . . - v.. yesterday afternoon upon the subject "Spiritual Growth." The speaker said in part; "Christ told the parable of th Prodigal son and his selfish broth er to teach th limitless love of God But It does not mean that inversion or turning from sin Is a more import ant experience than that of a life of steadfast service. Christ eame that men might have the more abundant life, the pure and holy life. There is joy in the presence of God and the angles over one ainner that repentetn, ana there is also the abundant reward to faithful service. Too often men get the notion that conversion is more Important than steadfastness because all are so ready to encourage the new convert and, prone to forget to encourage the conyert of last year. We can not have too many conversions but we need to insist on the importance of growth In life and power. The great est question that can confront us is: How can these chances be made that discipline and develop the soul and give to it a steadfast growth In life and grace. Learning to know God seems to be set before the race as its greatest duty. Rather "we might say the greatest opportunity of tho race." No Fear of Traditions. G.
