a noise in one of the upper rooms.

with the unfavorably weather.
Those who went, to the Tabernacle.
however. were rewarded by one of
the best addresses of the whole ser-
ies. Dr. Anderson took for his topic:
“Why I Am Not An Infidel." It was
a heart-to-heart message. and it
gripped the hearts of those present.
The preacher pictured infidelity as
negative in its relation to the higher
ideals. To be a Christian one must
turn away from evil and turn to
righteousness. Not so with infidelity.
It had no trend toward any accepted
”stem of ethics or morals. Infidel-
ity has no inherent or accepted code
of belief or conduct to Which its de-
voices must subscribe. No standard
of conduct. and high living bars any
from its portals. There may be peo-
ple of exemplary conduct within its
fold. but other influences have touch-
ed their lives. Tho liar or the thief
might be intidels. They could not be
Christians. for the fundamental con-
ccpts of Christianity would bar them.
It was 11. semen to be remembered.
