"HE FIGHT FOR
RIGHTEOUSNESS
The theme of Rev. Dunm
Carl Carter’s Sunday even
’ng sermon was, “The Fiah<
’’or Righteousness.” Since
°anl was the most energetic
and probably the most schol -
arly of the upholders of
Christs doctrines in the first
century of the Christian era
-’e naturally turn to his let
ters and the history of his
life for the methods of his
varfare against evil and in
?avor of righteousness. Pal
atine had been the scene of
-’any a bloody battle be
ween the opposing forces of
igypt and Assyria tor many
'enturies; hence the people
vho Paul addressed were fa
miliar with the military
erms which Paul used to de
cribe the fight for righte
usness. Since evil mani
’2$ts Itself in various forms
n modem times just as i+
lid in the days of Paul, his
practical methods of war
fare cannot be better descrit
ed, and none other can* be
■more effectually used today
' han those set forth in r
nodem transcript of Paul’s
etter to the Ephesians.
* “Unseen Enemies”
“For ours is not a conflict
vith mere flesh and blood
•>ut with the despotisms, the
empires, the forces that con
rol and govern this darl
vorld—the spiritual hosts of

“Preparedness”
“Put on therefore the cor j

you may be able to stand

you the belt of truth, ana
"tutting on the breast plate
