COVENANT CAMPAIGN

Last night in the Grand Theatre Mr Herbert Pooth spoke, to the sixth clause of the ‘ Covenant ’ around which the present campaign is being conducted. This clause reads: “I belie--a in the inspiration of tlie Holy Scriptures as the ret elation of the mind and will of God, and 1 renounce all criticisms which would weaken their supremacy.” After referring to the deceitful and dangerous attacks on the Bible, Mr Booth produced the Book and maoe it sueak for itself. His discourse dealt with the fact that, the Bible existed despite the age-long and fierce attacks made upon it. It presupposed a spiritual perception and discernment. It challenged the questions and problems of the ages. It assumed the authority of God’s voice with its 2,000 times uttered “Thus eaith the Lord.” It destroyed man’s pride and accomplishments. H foretold the events of all history. It fitted every experience, and. lastly, it lived as the living “seed”—“bread” and “water.” The best proof of the truth of God’s Word wp.s to receive it into the heart as the Word of God.. The interest in the meetings is increasing. In response to an appeal by the mlsrioner a large number of the audience rose to their feet to attest their belief in the truth of God’s Word. To-night Mr Booth, will take as his subject the first danse of the cc 'enant, ‘ The Practice of the Presence of Gcd.’
