POWER OF LOVE IS DESCRIBED IN STIRRING SERMON (((iVUM F.O FROM PAGE ONE) love of God for them has shown itself, and it uloue ims converted them," "It we could oply appreciate God's love for us and his hatred of sin, the world would be saved," Rev. Miller said. “Let it never be forgotten though, that God hates sin," he continued. "because he loves uh. ,He told of how, after Adam had sinned and everything looked dark for him, God's groat love for man called out, "Where Art Thou." and that simple sentence, full of meaning has come down through the ages always calling out to the sinner, "Where Art Thou?" "And those same words are ca'.ing us tonight,” the pastor said. "God is eating us Io get right with him and be forgiven." Rev. Miller compared the several greal loves of the world; the mother's love for her son; the love of friends for each other; the love of a lover for his sweetheart and the love of a hitsi baud for his wife, "but all these,” he said, Sue mere trifles, when we think lof the Love of God for us. Calvary's eiViss shows us the four dimensions of God's love," the pastor said.” The heighth reaches to the very heighths of the sky; the depth reaches to the depths of everything; the width and breadth reach out to the ends of the world aud still that is only a mere idea of what God's,love is." “But," Rev. Miller concluded," many of us are awaiting the judgment day and. after ail, the Gospel of John says, ‘those who do not believe are already judged, and 1 say to you. your fate is already planned if you don't get right and stay right with God. God lias proved his love for us by seuidng Ills Sou to die at Calvary’s Cross, and it’s up to you to accept’ that Jove by believing in God through Christ." The large audience showed that it had been deeply touched and when the closing, hymns were sung, with Mr. Proctor leading, the very way in which the people sang, gave proof that they had accepted the intended meaning of the revival to restore and build up a greater love for God and Christ among

' men. Several singing features were .also cn the Baptist program lastplight ! and songs will continue to be one of the principal factors of the meetings.. Zion Reformed Churclf* The services at the Zion Reformed church last night were the best attended since the beginning of the special services. The Rev. D. Grether, of Magiey, delivered a very impressive and spiritual message. His subject was, “’The Law of Growth.” He said in part: ‘‘lf we as Christians are not to be led astray we must grow. We aveid spiritual death by spiritual growth. If we stop growing, another law sets in to work—the law of disintegration. God* wants us to develop spiritually. The question in life is—Aie we growing? We know that we ‘can’ grow. The law- of growth makes it possible. If we can, i then ‘how-’? Cornstalks never grow lin a circle. Many people are prone to grow in a circle —they keep going but never make any progress. They get into a rut. I ‘‘Then too, we ‘must’ grow. If wo step we will soon hang crepe. The church must grow or die. We grow if we are in-rihe right environment. If Ihe corn is placed, into the ground it grows. When people get. into the' church they grow because they get into an environment that they are in need of. ‘‘Then too, w© grow ‘by working.’• 'Our spiritual life must bo exercised. Many criticize the preacher and the church. It is because they havb not worked up a spiritual appetite. If a rubber tire remains idle it rots; if i used it serves a purpose. To grow lis to keep in touch with Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.” 'fhe male quartet, from the Magiey Reformed church rendered three special musical numbers, very fitting and appropriate for the occasion. A splendid spirit was manifested in the services. The. Rev. J. !<’. Tapy, who spoke to the Rotary Club last night, assisted in Hie services. On Wednesday night Miss Della Sellemeyer assisted in the services with the rendition of several beautiful Bolos. The Rev. ft. Grether will give a i second, message tonight at 7:30 I o'clock. He requests that especially (lie ycniiig people of the church attend and hear the message. Special mus-, - ical Humbert: will be given. Methodist Church Thursday night was men’s night 1 The men attended the services in i large numbers. Mr. <’. L. Walters, teacher of the Men’s class, had ’charge Os the preliminaries. Miss i Margaret. Moore sang ‘ Don’t Forget I Jesus." The pastor, the Rev Somervtije Light, used Acts 3:1-8 as his text j ‘ Peter and John were --going to the . temple to pray and as they came to jthe temple, they saw a lame man,

who asked for money. Peter said, 'Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have, giv 0 I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ rise up and walk.’ The man stood up and walked and entered the temple with Peter and John, praising God.- Peter aud John were not going to the prayer meeting for show, but for prayer. Whenever you make a show of the power that God gives you, you lose it." “The trouble with us today is that we have been brought up to receive and not give,” said Rev. Light. "The central thought of the religion of our Redeemer Ih giving and not receiv’ng. Where did Peter and John receive anything to give? Peter and Jotin had been at the meeting of the Pentecost. They came to the prayer meeting surcharged with spiritual power, they took something to prayer meeting with them. On the way God gave them a chance to use what they had with them. “The religion of Jesus Christ is not only a giver, but an uplifter. it was intended to make people happy and glad. •Indifference and postponmeiit keep more men out of the king dam than anything else.” At the close of the service, the men met the pastor at the altar, saying that they believed in the religion of Jesus Christ and that it is the greatest need of any man. Tonight is Sunday School night.. John E. Nelson, the superintendent, will have charge of the preliminaries. Each teacher and officer of the Sunday School is urged to be present. The teachers should see that every pupil is invited to come. The attendance is increasing from night to night The largest week night attendance was had last night. The prayer meetings are well attended and the people are praying earnestly for a revival. The men's prayer meeting was well attended. Every department, of the church is being touched by the meetings. People are thinking seriously and many are almost persuaded. Evangelical Church Intense interest continued at the Evangelical church last nighk. The Rev. R. W. Loose gave an interesting sermon on “Be Filled With the Spirit." He compared the life of the world and the Christian with that lived in flesh and spirit, contrasting the fruits of life in the flesh and life through Christ in the spirit. Rev. Loose urged that all people live close to Christ in a Christian way, saying that only in this way could people- hope to be saved. Singing again was a feature of the opening of the service. Tonight a quartet of young boys from Fort Wayne will sing. Tonight, will be known as "Family night’ and all members of the church are urged to attend. The meeting will start promptly at 7:30 o’clock.

Presbyterian Church The Rev. J. R. Sorensen, of Fort Wayne, brought another exceedingly fine message last night on the subject ( hrist in You.”> The speaker pointed out the fact that Christ in reality is present in the soul of every -Christian “closer to us than breathing and nearer than hand or foot.” “This is a mystery,” he said, "but no greater a mystery than how you dwell in your own body. In what part of your body do ’you’ live? Some parts and organs oan be removed yet we go on living. In fact, I have never seen ‘you’ but only manifestations of ‘you’ through the movements of the body. How your soul, your personality can live jn your flesh cannot be explained. Neither fan wi> explain how Christ lives in us. Nevertheless we know He does. It is a great privilege. If only Christ could express himself freely through us, what wonderful things could be accomplished in this world.” The audience was somewhat smaller than on preceding evenings, buj. what was lacking in numbers was added in Spirit and enthusiasm. The Progressive class had charge of the preliminary services last night They sat together in their

appointed places in Sunday School Tonight, the Men of ,the church will have charge of the opening. A largo men's choir will lead the singing. Special music will be furnished by thepi. This is known as Every Member Night when definite record of the presence of the membership of the church will be noted. Rev. Sorensen will preach. Lhriatian Church A splendid congregation was in at- ■ ai> dunce at the Christian church last night. The services are rapidly taking on the character of a real religious awakening. A very pleasing feature of last night's service was a solo given by Mr. J. E. Anderson. The Rev. H. W. Thompson chose his text from the Gospel of St. Luke. He said in part, “The reason that men will not accept the testimony of Gad against themselves is because of the element of unbelief present, in the lives of all. The men of Jesus day made their great mistake in accepting the traditions of men for the commandments of God, or in other words trying to find soul satisfaction in a second-hand religion. The surest way to the presence of God, is to know the truth, accept the truth, obey the truth. A man can get by with anything in the world but sec-ond-hand religion.” United Brethren Church A good sized crowd attended the evening service at the United Brethren church last night, held in conjunction with six other Decatur churches. Music was one of the features of the program, after which the pastor, the Rev. Cecil R. Smith, delivered a stirring sermon, urging that everyone get right with Christ. Preceding the general services, several of the Sunday school classes held prayer services. Considerable interest is being shown in this phase of the revival. Everybody is welcome at the United Brethren church and members are urged to attend the services. There will be services tonight at 7:30 o'clock and none on Saturday night.
