Dad Hughes is beyond a doubt one of
the greatest spiritual reasoners, I’ve

day, he touched the bottom of our
hearts and the entire audience was
washed down in tears. Dad Hughes
said when we could love those that
persecute us, we would know that we
had a part in the life of Christ. I
shall not attempt to tell you in brief
of his wonderful sermon, but it was

INTRODUCTION—
Each year at this season we turn
our attention on the resurrection of
the Christ, and call it Easther, a religi
ous celebration. It inspires our faith
in the fact that Christ arose, for we
hear much about the resurrection of
Jesus. Faith cometh by hearing, there-
fore we must feel that our faith is in-
creased as we study lessons and hear
sermons and songs that herald the
glories of the resurrected Christ.
EXPOSITION—
I—Paul Declares the Value of the
Gospel.

unto you to the gospel which I have
preached unto you, which also ye have
received, and wherein ye stand.
The gospel that Paul preached was
received and relied upon for salva-

BAPTIST UNITY
searching the scriptures, and
reading prayerfully, I have been made
tu believe that unity first originated
before this world was created; before
we had the sun, moon, stars and other
planets; before we had light or dark-
ness. God in His wisdom being a
perfect spirit with all power could
have done everything without the aid
of any one, but we find Him saying,
“Let us make man.”
During the life of Ckrist on earth,
He demonstrated unity when He said:
“I and my Father are one.” Christ
lived among and for humanity. He
could have done His work alone, but
everywhere He went. His disciples
went along also. In carrying them
with him He laid example after ex-
ample that we should serve Him to-
Since we have found that we are
not getting any place by being divid-
ed as we are, and ear schools, church-
es, missionary work are far below
normal, why should we let the petty
misunderstanding of the past keep us
apart? Why keep in the back mum-
bers by holding on to the past dif-
ferences, which the majority of as
know nothing about as they happen-
ed many years ago’
If we are to rim as a denomination,
we must lay aside the past. We must
build this time an a safe foundation.
We carmnot bead on differences and
misunderstandings of dead men, far
this big convention to stand, but we
must build on the foundation of Christ
which is: One Lord, One Faith, and
One Baptism, letting love predomi-
nate our every act.
The popularity that used to be m
holding office is on the wane in this
modern era, while the follower as glo-
rified. The world admires the sheep
for its ability of being an humble fol-
lower, but the gout is not such an al-
mirable animal as it has to be driven
and is contrary to everything-Let
ns aa ministers of the gospel be hum-
ble and willing to serve any place as
we ane all on God’s program and
working for Him, not for the pope-
larity of this world, but the extension
of His Kingdom.
If we permit satan to
hearts in this crucial hour
world is staring us in @h
waiting to know what wes
do, and fail in our efforts
one of the gravest mistakes in the
history of our denomination. It will
mean that the Baptists will remain
behind. It will mean that we cannot
live up to the doctrine we preach. It
will mean failure. It will be our doom.

It was a joyous thing to say now
has Christ risen from the dead.
But it was more joyous to know that
He was the first fruits of them that
slept. The first fruits of the Jewish
harvest was a pledge of the rest of
the harvest so Christ as to the fact
of His resurrection, referred to as the
first fruits of them that slept, is a.
pledge that we also will rise.

by man came also the resurrection of
the dead.
Man, that is Adam, brought death.
Man, that is Christ, the second Adam,
brought life through the resurrection
of the dead.

so in Christ shall all be made alive.
As the sin of the first man brought
death and ruin, the righteousness of
the Christ brought life and salvation.

they that are Christ’s at His coming.
Those that are joined to Christ by
faith, will rise as He arose at his sec-
ond coming. Chirst is their leader in
the resurection from the dead.
