PASTOR HAKES PLEA TO LI SHINING LIFE

v. Monger Declares Flickering Light of Christians is What Causes Disgust.

"The Secret of the Shining Life" was he subject of Rev. Albert E. Monger's sermon at the Maple Avenue church Sunday morning. Rev. Monger chose his subject from the passage, "He was _• a burning and shining light," John 5:35. He said in part: "The Christian life is "referred to as the shining life. Every Christian life f*,, is a shining life with varying degrees of brightness. Some characters are •i: conspicuous for a want of light. This

text is a statement of the very inherent nature of the Christian life, which can no more help shining than 'can the sun refuse to give off its htness or the flower to give off fragrance.

The shining is dependent upon another condition stated in the text, namely 'that of burning.' Just as there can bo no light from the lamp without the burning of the wick and oil so there can be light of Christian character without a 'burning' of human life. The student, the business man or the statesman cannot shine in his respective realm without a using up of energy and a sacrificing of many things. So must it be for those who would shine in that of Christian character. The varying degrees of bright ness is in proportion to the burning up of human life in service. "The life of the early Christians shone out brightly into heathen darkness because they literally burned out their life in service for the interests of the kingdom of our Christ. Their problems were not much different than are ours. No Christian can shine toy proxy. There are too many 'bench'

Christians in the churches who are &ck}v shining by the light of some othei* self-sacrificing man or woman rather

When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull,

than by the service of their own effort. Keep Light Burning. "The light must be kept burning steadily. It is the flickering of the light of professed Christians that disgusts men and women who turn away from the invitation of the Christian life. Whether the light that we are giving out. is steady (or not Is dependent upon how steadily we are feeding the flame by our service and activity. "We have not yet begun to live out the Christian life in earnest. Whenever our beliefs become an all-con-suming passion so that we count every sacrifice gain and every effort a joy in our efforts to serve men and women then we shall make an impression on the world. This life, burning and shining through our personalities is the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world."

Attendance Campaign On. This was the first Sunday of "the every member go to church campaign," to be carried on during the month of November. Each member of the church is asked to attend one preaching service each Sunday during the month. The response of the members for this first Sunday was very gratifying. Mr. Henry Horton, a converted Hindu, spoke at the evening service to a crowded house. Mr. Horton's explanation of the Hindu philosophy was very interesting. He dressed in his native costume.

The men's .bible class elected the following officers for the year President, G. Lt- Schnell vice president, J. A. Ransford secretary, John Herrington assistant secretary, O. E. Coburn treasurer, Harry Rice. The special committees will be announced next Sunday. The organization is being perfected for the building up of a class of 150 men by the last Sunday of the year when the Sunday school will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary.

MANY AIM FIFE'S

Evangelist Talks to Capacity Audiences at Central Christian Church—135 Converted.

One of the mo sit successful invitation meetings held in Terre Hau^e in a revival was that of the Fife brothers in the Central Christian church, Seventh and Mulberry. The attendance at tho Sunday school numbered nearly 900. At the morning invitation there were ninety-one converts and by the close of the evening service the number had been raised to 135. In the evening the audience taxed the capacity of the church.

The program of music and sermons for the day were unusually good. At all services the members of the musical Fife party played and sang and had their numbers supplemented by some work by the big choir and Mrs. Carrie B. Adams at the pipe organ. At the evening service Fred H. Kuhn, secretary to the evangelist, played a violin solo entitled, "Beethoven's Minuet" The Fife quartet sang 'That Beautiful Land." And Mrs. Bess Fife Brooks, Mrs. Nell Fife Kuhn and Mr. Barl H. Fife played a trio entitled "Gently, Lord, Oh, Gently Lead Us," on a large and attractive new instrument called the marimba-xylophone.

Evangelist Clyde Lee Fife preached a strong sermon. His theme was "The Second Ccming of Christ." In the course of his argument he made it plain that all signs that Jesus said should precede His coming have already been fulfilled. Among these signs he named the statement of Jesus, "There will be wars and rumors of war."

His description of the present war caused the people to listen in rapt attention. He also argued that the coming of Christ may be expected in view of the following facts. The rebuilding of Solomon's temple for whicn. .he stated material and gold are already being gathered. The amassing of wealth into the hands of twelve men who control the markets of the world the strife between capital and labor: and the fact of Jesus' statement that "My gospel sh&ll be preached as a witness for Me among all the nations of the earth and then shall the end come." He stated that Jesus did not say that everybody would believe this gospel. but that it should be preached and said that this was just what he was trying to do in Terre Haute whether the people would believe it or not.

He closed with a dramatic devsoription of what would happen at the second coming of Christ, describing the anguish of the wicked and the saints' shout of victory. At the invitation, about forty more people went forward. The Fife brothers will go to the North Christian church to give three numbers* on a musical program Monday night, but there will be no services at tlfb Central church.

REV. HARPER'S SERMOfM.

Pastor of First M. E. Says Church Has Gone Back. At the First Methodist church Sunday morning. Rev. I. B. Harper delivered a sermon on "The Church of Today," in which he portrayed the kind of a church necessary to meet the demands of modern life, declaring that at no time in the world's history was human well-being so dependent on the presence and influence of the church, He said in part: "The church is not held in the high reference by the masses which it once enjoyed. Its voice does not carry the weight of authority it once did. And yet there is an authority possible to the church, an authority which alone will have power in the life of today. This new voice of authority is the voice of righteousness. "The average man today is c#-lng little for our creeds, or for our ecclesiastical machinery. Men are demanding that religion be expressed in ethical values. A good man doing good to his fellows, as never before, speaks with compelling authority in the life of the world today. "The church that would save modern society must go out to it in the spirit of self-giVing service. Two things there are against which the average human heart Is not absolutely fortified, the beauty of holiness and the tender ministrations of an unfeigned brotherllness. Let these two graces throb with life In the modern church and they will give her conquering power in troubled, fevered life of our day."

The day had been announoed as a special membership day, and at the close of the services twenty persons united with the church.

REV. MARK ON MONUMENTS.

Says Best Consists of Having Helped Mold Human Life. "The best monument that anyone can possibly ask is that of an investment of character and personality in life or

lives," declared the Rev. O. E. Mark, pastor of the Centenary Methodist church, in his sermon Sunday morning. A. large congregation attended the services of the church and listened attentively to Dr. Mark's sermon on "Among the Monuments." Dr. Mark spoke as follows: "The world is full of monuments, some with mute lips keeping dark hidden their secrets from the world. The Druidic stones in England have never told their story. The pyramids of Egypt have never divulged one-half of the stories they have to tell. The old stone tower of Newport is an unintelligent and almost voiceless echo of our country's past. The significance of these monuments may be divided into two classes. "The first class of monuments may be signified as those representing elvents or achievements. Among these we might classify the Bunker hill monument, or the monument to the discovery of ether in the Boston public gardens. But the best monument that anyone can possibly ask is that of an investment of character and personality in a life-or lives. To have helped to mold in a simple clean manner the human life is at once one of the highest achievements and the best monument that anyone could ask."

LIVELY MEMBERSHIP RACE.

First M. E. Takes Lead in Contest With Centenary. Friendly controversy over the reports of the Sunday schools of the First Methodist and the Centenary Methodist churches arose Monday morning because of a mistake in reporting the attendance of the Sunday school of the Centenary church in tne Sunday sciiool contest of the various churches of the city. In the absence of the regular secretary the report filed showed an attendance of 346 but later in (going over these reports it was found that a* record of .Sfi had been placed in the

STATEMENT TO VOTERS

The morning Star prints a statement purporting to

come from "The Guardians of Liberty," which, in the

guise of a patriotic appeal, seeks to inject religious bias

and prejudice into the present campaign. My name

appears as endorsing these sentiments. I wish here to

notify the voters of Terre Haute and Vigo county that

the statement was prepared without my knowledge, that

I was never consulted in the matter and, finally, that it is

not my practice now nor has it ever been to mix re

ligion and politics, I hope the voters of Vigo county

know me sufficiently well to be confident that I am not

responsible for the sentiments implied in this notice.

wrong column. This matter was reported but the First church protested, saying it was contrary to the rules requiring that all reports must be in by 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning. The First Methodist church reported an attendance of 378 which gave them a lead in the contest. ''We have allowed the contention of the First church, although the matter was reported." said Dr. O, E. Mark in speaking of the dispute Monday. "However, we believe we still will win the race."

Since the lead of the First Methodist church has been allowed the Centenary is behind 246 in attendance. There will be eight more Sundays for the contest to run.

SUCCESS ELECTION HELD.

Centenary E. Church Members Take Vote at Services. Returns from the official "Success Election"' of the Centenary Methodist church were made public Monday morning to indicate that a minority of the members of the churches have been attending the services of the church, according to the Rev. O. E. Mark, pastor of the church. The vote was taken at the three services at the church Sunday. According to the ballots counted there were about one-fourth of the church members who regularly attended the Sunday school, one-third who attended the morning serjvices and onetenth the evening services. "The returns showed that we are not getting the benefit of the large membership," said the Rev. O. E. Mark in speaking of the election. "The men's class is growing substantially, as shown by the reports."

RELIGION A BUSINESS MATTER, SAYS PASTOR

Eev. Wright Declares Church Must Show Continual Growth if it is to be Successftd.

Taking as the text of his sermon, "The Business Side of Religion," the Rev. M. C. Wright, pastor of the Montrose M«thodist church, preached an interesting sermon Sunday night. The problems of the church should be handled much the same as thoso of a business, Dr. "Wright declared. He said in part: "Religion is not a sentiment, a diversion nor a ceremonial observance. Religion is supremely a business. The church is more or less a business
