UNBELIEF TIES HAND OF CHRIST

"'He Does Not Many 'Mighty Works Here Because of Unbelief is the motto that might well be placed above the doors of our churches," said Rev. F. G. Kenny in his sermon on "Tying the Hands of Christ" at the First Baptist Church last night. Mr. Kenny took as the basis of his thought the incident I at Nazareth when the Lord was prevented from accomplishing His j mighty work there because of the unbelief of the people. : i "The Lord's, power to do His great work in the world is thwarted in just the same wav in our nWn flav That iu tavmg men irom tne gum or sin only when His people believe in its power. When they fail to believe they tie the hands of the Christ through which that power comes." The attendance was the largest it has been so far in the meetings. The meeting tonight will begin with a song service at 7:30 o'clock. The subject will be "Prepared for Service." PUSHES ARMY BILLS WASHINGTON, March 30.
