MR R. A. LAIDLAW'S MISSION
A large audience listened attentively to Mr R. A. Laidlaw, of Auckland, in the Concert Chamber of the Town Hall last evening, when the subject wa* 1 God’s Personal Challenge to Hit People.’ Taking as his example the conservation of the priests of the Old Testament, Mr Laidlaw pointed out that iv personal surrender of the life as well as the soul was required by God of every Christian. Consecration meant in the Old l Testament three things i Firstly, “ to fill the hand ” with offerings and hold them palms upward i® surrender to God; secondly, a consecrated person must allow nothing t® contaminate that consecration vow; thirdly, it means to be set apart for God’s use. ' ■ , , Many Christians to-day offered nothing to God. They traded on th® grace of God to take all He offered ■andi live for self, pray for self, giv® to self with no thought of God’s portion. Others counted on the grace of God) in order to persist in that which dishonoured God.
Mr Murray Fountain sang the f.v« solos, ‘ That Idol Must, Come Down K and at the close ‘ Take My Life ami Let It be Consecrated Lord to Thee.*
