LARGE AUDIENCE HEARD SERMON BY REV. GREENE.

Second Week of Evangelistic Services Begun With Added Interest—Large Choir Gathers Nightly. Another large audienee was but Monday night to attend the union evangelistic services at the Presbyterian church. The large choir, wbich forms a part of each evening service, sang many songs unde the direction of Horace J. Kurtz, and the audience caught the inspiration of the songs and joined heartily. The singing is being greatly improved by his energetic leadership and the song service whicn precedet the sermoq is worth going a long way to hear. The choir is increasing in size, the music in excellence volume and is adding much zest to tin meetings. Monday night P. Greor.c formerly pastor of the Baptist chuich, delivered the sermon in his characteristic ;utl enthusiastic manner He held thi closest attention of the large audience. He selected tor his text Gala.ians 6:7, 8. “Be not deee'.ved; God is not. mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. F6r he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life.” i His subject whs “Sow'ng and Reaping” and he said in rart: The momeht we land In this worla law grirs us. The lew of sequence lays its hands upon us, and some things /ollow as uatural results ol our living. T,he law pf consequence lays held of us and certain things follow as natural results of our own doings. Wo cannoi ev?'de these. Wc also come into contact witn the law of generation; 1 fee producing like. The law of seed time and uarvest. The law of sin and righteousness. For these there ere paralle’s in the spiritual realm. Indeed, the nat ural may, after all, be but a parable of the spiritual. As we cannot cheat the natural laws of our being, neither can we cheat the spiritual laws; the moral laws; God’s laws. Therefore “be not deceived; God is not mocked.’’ Yet how many there are who are apparently deceiving themselves, hoping- to receive God’s approval and reap the rewards of a righteous life while sowing the seeds of unrighteousness. “WQiatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.” All are sowers, whether we will or no. We cannot help it. It is a part of the law of our beings. One of those sequences that grip us: But we have the power to efioose the kind of seed and the character of the sowing. * \Ve sow in two fields. The field about us and the field .within us. There is also the carnal field and the spiritual field and we are to chose which we shall cultivate. As we sow something goes out from us as influence, and something within us as effect, and character. The seed may be compared to thoughts, desires, words, deeds, ambitions, faith in unbelief, obedience or disobedience.

For every sowing time there comes the harvest time. “That shall he also reap.” We cannot escape the reaping time qny more than we can the sowing time. Effects come back as the harvest of deeds that were the casual seed. “Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.” He shall reap the natural product of his sowing. Does he sow wild oats? Then the resulting harvest be must gather. They come back, not as wheat of righteousness, but the sorrowful harvest .of wild and recKlesf doing. We cannot sow disobedience to God and reap the Divine approval. We canrtot sow unbelief and reap the results of faith. We cannot sow falsehood and reap truth. The harvest will be the same in kind, and this law holds good with reference to a nation, state, or city as with the individual. We sow saloons mid reap drunkards, criminals, prison « pens, almshouses, potter’s fields. Sow gree£ and covetousness and reap graft, defaulting, bank wrecking and all kinds of dishonesty. Sow ftigaretts and reap tmbecilerEow license and lust and reap debauchery slavery. Sow irreverence, and reap profanity and blasphemy. Sow vulgarity and reap looseners in morals. Yes we reap the same in kind. We reap the same in kind with its naturU! increase. f-- ■ The prophet Hosea speaks of one who sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind. Tremendous increase, that But the other side of the text speaks of another kind of sowing that produces a more satisfying crop. “Sow to the Spirit and reap eternal- life.” David says that "“They that sow in tears shall reap hi Joy.” He that goeth forth and weepetb. bearing pre-

If You Have Any Work to Be Done Offer Employment Now.

The cold weather of the past month has been hard on people who work for a living and there has been a general lack of employment. This has resulted in making a great many industrious men with families to support very hard up for ready money and there are now a good nfany men in this city who are out of employment and who are willing to engage in any honorable occupation^ A 'man who is well known for his industry and honesty said to The Republican editor this morning; “I am in need of work, but I can’t find any to do. Since the ice packing Job there has been nothing to work at.” It is quite probable that there are a good many little Jobs about town that need attention and it would be the proper spirit of brotherhood to offer some bow to any person who asks tor a Job or to bunt up a man and put him,,to work. Even a small amount of employment might be of considerable aid. Rensselaer bas been mighty fortunate to have so little suffering during such a prolonged cold ijpsll. There were only a limited number of appeals for aid and they were all cared for. But many whd suffer would not ask for aid. They will work if given a chance and The Republican suggests that all give such employment as they can find need of without delay.

Five and Costs for “Pappy" For Getting Over-Happy.

”Pappy’7Platt showed unmistakable signs of having bit a jug of “rot gut" or something equally horrible Sunday. He was so intoxicated that be could not even sit up and he fell all in a heap while trying to find a comfortable reclining place on a bench at the depot. Such conduct te not permitted at our new station and in bis temporary condition of paralysis be was loaded on a dray and hauled to the county bastile where he was quartered until Monday morqing when he recovered sufficiently to plead “guilty as charted” in Squire Irwin’a court. It was his first convicted offense and the court assessed a fine of $5 and costs, amounting no $9.25. Frank Kresler agreed to stay the fine and pending the adjustment he was committed to Sheriff Hoover. . ”
