THE OLD STORY OF MOSES Leading the Children of Israel Was the Subject of Dr. Packard's Sermon Last Night.
Another good congregation was at the Centenary Methodist church last night to hear Dr. Packard in another strong sermon. The evangelist got his lesson from the experience of Moses in leading the children of Israel from Egypt, and his transactions with Pharaoh and the compromises the Egyptian ruler tried to make with Moses. It was a strong sermon, applied to present day conditions, showing how the devil tried to effect compromises with people who start out to be Christians. The preacher took up the different compromises one by one and exposed them and showed the danger of people making any kind of a compromise along this line. Dr. Packard is having good crowds with his voice and for that reason was not able to put as much force in his sermon last night as usual, but the reason and argument was just as strong. The song service before the sermon was good.
