We nr all guilty of HL’le sins, which in time grow larger,” Rev. Soro.isen said. "We cut our creed, i-l'ii’.ge our religion from the big true V.’cid and then blame it on the |.::,ii>h. We deny th" tact that Christ livre within us ami we misuse the best friend we ever had." Rev. Sorensen continued by telling several interesting stories showing <a>thly friendships and then contrasting them with the great friendship of Christ with us, if we so use it. “We inherit soma tendencies, ron.e possibly which are ap: to make us sin. but when we accept Jesus Christ we inherit tlie power to eradicate those inheritances," be said. ’ Rev. Sorensen, in closing, urged Christian people to refuse to stand still in their Christian life. “Study, read," he urged, "‘and use the Christ in you. tor He is there ready to •sc rve you. Take an inventory of your spiritual self,” Rev. Sorensen | said, “spread your life before God and ask him to tell you what is wrong. He'll do it and you'll be the j better Christian for it. And then you'll make progress. “Christ has never been beaten," , the pastor said, “Tie your hopes in Him and he will stay with you and . help you fight your battles, and , you'll win.” I The large audience showed its ap/predation for the great sermon and the local pastor, the Rev. B. \ T . Covert, thanked Rev. Sorenson, on behalf of the congregation, for visiting . Decatur during the present revival. Singing was also a feature ot the program. The men of the church had charge of the opening and conducted it in a fine fashion. There will bo no services tonight, at any of the churches but the revival will con- . tinue at the morning worship hour tomorrow at all seven cooperating churches. Baptist Church J Friday evening marked another inspiring service at the Baptist church. There was still an increase in attendance over the evening before. Three persons came forward confessing their faith in Jesus as their Saviour and Lord. The Rev. O. E. Miller brought the message from the subject, “Obstruc-I tions on the Broad Way to Destruction.” He reminded his hearers that there are but two ways in life, the way leading to shame and eternal ban- ■ ishment from God, the other way the j Life and to Glory. He said: “God has placed some hindering obstructions on the way of death to warn and invite all there to flee from the wrath to come.” He emphasized the Bible as being one, Christian instruction as another, the Holy Spirit and the Cross still others.

Zion Reformed Church The attendance at the Zion Reformed church last night was equal to that of Thursday night which was the best , nee the meetings began. The Rev. D. Grether of Magley spoke on the subject, "The Threefold Call of the Master.” In the course of his sermon he stated: “There are a good many red blooded Americans who seem to believe that the church is

i only for the women and the children. | Jesus called the robust, stout, brawny, , lan-faced men into service when He ’ called His disciples to follow Him. , There are many invalids, paralytics, sufferers of disease who are contented witli their lot and serve Christ '•Cheerfully and willingly. How much ' I more should those serve Him who ' have the strength of youth?” He .closed his mesage with a gripping story of how he ministered to a dying Indian girl, a member of the Winnebago Indian tribe in northern Wisconsin. The dying girl sought tlie explanation of the word, 'Redemption.” Mrs. Ben Schroyer atoisted in the services with the singing of several j very appropriate selections. The next service will be tomorrow 1 morning at 10:30 o'clock when the local pastor wil preach on the subject "The Lord and His Bride.’ On Sunday night at 7 o’clock the Rev. O. H. Scherry of Vera Cruz will preach ad we are hoping for special musical |

numbers from that place. You are welcome First Fvangelicai Church Attendance Friday evening wan the largest, of the week. Prof. Gerber had charge of the singing, which wan' exceptionally vivacious. The Boy's quartet from Fort Wyne sang -.even selections, greatly Io the enjoyment of nil. The pastor spoke on the verses found In Romans 12:1-2 the “Basis of an In-' telllgent Growing Christian Exper-' fence." He said, "Tho consesecrating ofj tlie entire personality and iifo to God Is reasonable because of what God is in riches of bis wisdom, knowledge, mercy and love. There is no other such wonderful personality as He and hence no one else that naturally has the claim to our allegiance that He has. Thon it Is only as we yield ourselves utterly to Him to obey Him that we can really learn 'to know Him and his unfathomnable riches and worth, and His will concerning us.” The interest |througl|oiit the son ■ vice was intense. United Brethren Church Tito attendance at the United Brethren church was tho largest of any service since the simultaneous meeting began. Intense interest was manifested by the people and th» ; work is growing in real Interest. The men are doing some fine work and the women have organized for ; definite work. The two hundred . who were in attendance last night • were not in a hurry to depart after i the benediction and many remained > to talk over the work. The pastor ■ spoke on "The Value of a Soul.” He I cited where man had subordinated I the value of his soul to almost every I commodity under the sun. Ambition. , Greed, Conquest and Pleasure were t, some of the things noted with graphic ) illustrations and incidents. Demand f helps to determine sometimes the i accepted value and in this two worlds 1 were bidding for the soul. Satan I has made his empty promises. Christ > has promised and already given. In- ! tense interest was manifested by the I audience. ■ Sunday promises to be a great day

Our showrooms are now devoted to a Special Nash Exhibit that practically duplicates the great New York Show display. Here you may view personally the important new Nash developments —particularly the great new Nash ‘'Enclosed Car” Motor. In creatine this new motor Nash deliberately disregarded general precedent which was accustomed to shape the capabilities of a motor to open car requirements. On the contrary, Nash especially engineered this motor to provide the finest calibre of performance for the enclosed car. In utter smoothness, in quietness and in phenomenal acceleration, this new “Enclosed Car” Motor clearly outdistances all that has gone before.

« It creates an absolutely new standard of enclosed car performance that will prove a revelation to you — for it is surpassingly superior in every phase of operation. There’s a full 25% greatervolume of symmetrically smooth power—power tvithout a single “rough spot” thruout the entire range. And the speed with which you accelerate is lightning-like—23% faster than formerly in going from any given rate to a higher rate. Yet your travel-cost per gallon of fuel is held down to the old low level. And so expertly is the motor designed and constructed that under average driving conditions you may drive it to a mileage high in the five-figure class without further thought except to change oil at the usual periods.
