FORD ELIJS PREACHES
INITIAL SERMOX SUNDAY.
Fresh From University Halls, New
Christian Pastor Opens Work in Lo
cal Field Salvation of Souls Should
Be Chief Mission of Any Church.
. r
Ford Ellis, the new minister of the
Central Church of Christ, preached to
a large and interesting audience Sun
day morning. The subject of the ser
mon was "Soul Winning." He said In
part, that the primary mission of the
church was not to have a large audi
ence, the most trained choir or the
most Intellectual preacher, but the
solvation of . souls. And when the
church loses sight of this purpose, It
Is nigh unto death. He said that the
requisites of a soul-winner are In the
reach of all. One must be a conse
crated Christian, not one of these
wishy-washy that have cold feet In
July. He must have the spirit of love,
a man of patience, a man of prayer
and a constant student of Pod's word.
rtev. Ellis has just completed a four
years' course in Cotner university,
Lincoln. Neh. He comes to the- Lu
Grande church freBh from the univer
sity halls. It is hoped that his stay
In this city may be profitable anl
pleasant for him and the congregation
with which he labors.
