MISSION ADDRESS
“The most horrible sin in the world is ingratitude,” said Mr Frank L. Purnell 8.A., B.DD., in his address last night at the big tent in Murray street. There was present a delegation. from the Baptist Church, and on Wednesday night a large group from Hokitika was at the service. “Of all creatures, it remained lor man to be ungrateful and despise his Creator and Sustainer” said the speaker. “I have found that pigs, horses and dogs all express their thanks, but ungateful man wrung from the heart of God the cry, The ox knoweth his owner and the ass ms master’s crib, but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.’ One day Jesus cleansed ten lepers and only one of them returned to say thank you. We despise the ingratitude of the nine, but the average man is guilty of greater sin in despising the death and resurrection of the Son oi God.”
